You are fool or knave. and we are in

holding al office in, his county was investi-
gated and 1t was found that he was pur-

crime, so much so that Fulton codnty, which
has been ore of the strongest Republican

stolen no money, and not one of the desper-

Good Roads Needed .

In the Athens HerGld of January 8, we find
the following sensible remarks in reference
to wagon roads:
ANY farmer would rather live in a country
with good roads so he could get his goods to
market when prices are most favorable; any
merchant would rather live in county where
there are good roads so that his customers
would come and trade with him at all times
of the year; a physician would rather live in a
county of good roads 80 that he could make
professional calls without serious difficulty;
any minister, any teacher, any professional
man. any artisan, in short any and everybody
prefers to live in community of good roads.
Does anyone want better reasons for believ-
ing that real estate in Athens county would
be enhanced in value by making the roads
good the year around?
Does any one doubt that the increase in
value of property, the advantage Of being
able to market produce whenever you saw fit,
the saving in wear of horses and vehicles and
the satisfaction gained by knowing you can
90 when you please, will more than balance
the extra expense that the construction of
substantial roads would incur? We believe
there is no one who seriously doubts this.
Other counties have tried the experiment and
been convinced of its value. There can be
no doubt of the wisdom of an investment in
good roads by the county as body of CAPT
talists. Wisdom dictates the adoption OF
measures leading to this result; economy
urges it; convenience demands 1t.
