Where Shall / go.

If you are not already posted, you should
embrace the earliest opportunity to do So.
The place for everybody to go, when they
want to buy anything, is to go where they can
do the best in short where they can get the
best goods for the least money. We would
recommend Saur & Balsley's Drug and Book
Store as being one of the very best places to
buy oils, paints, varnishes, wall papers and
window papers. They carry very large and
fresh stock of all kinds of paints at this sea-
son of the year which they buy direct from
the manufacturers and which they guarantee
to give perfect satisfaction in every particular.
They also have large stock and elegant line
of wall paper containing all the latest and
most fashionable patterns made. with or
without match borders, at prices which are
as low as the lowest and at which everybody
who owns house can afford to buy.

One of the most disgusting curbstone howl

harangued good sized crowd until lste

not only disgusting in itself but made doubly
so by vile illustrations. After robbing the
credulous crowd to the tune of $50 by the sale
Of worthless book, he departed for Cecil
with many thanks, punctuated with a string
of biblical quotations, for the courteous

ton loaded with acres of truth.

the older sister Ida, was in the act of pouring
out the same, the teapot being full of boiling
tea, it slipped out of her hands, the contents
going over the entire left side, scalding it in

What's the Matter With our Roads?

The present bad condition of many roads
in this county is deplorable and can be as
signed to no other cause than neglect on
the part of supervisors to do their duty. AL
though the law for the repair of roads is lame
in many respects, still it gives supervisors
sufficient power to keep the highways in
good condition if they felt so disposed. There
is a tendency on the part of those, who, by
age, ETC., are required to work the roads, to
shirk this labor, considering it so much time
and labor lost. All supervisors meet with
this difficulty and it is only the one familiar
with the law and the powers it gives him, who
is successful in getting out the full number
of laborers. Every supervisor shall order out
every person between the ages of twenty-one
and ffty-fve years, resident in mis- district,
between the first day of April and the first
day of July, annually, and direct him to per-
form work on the roads. If said persons
so notified refuse to attend or obey the in
structions of the supervisor, or provide a
substitute, he shall forfeit and pay one
dollar for every such offense and shall furth-
er be liable, in all cases of non n-attendance, to
the amount allowed for two day work, to be
recovered by action before Justice of the
peace of the proper township; and the money
SO collected shall be applied by the supervisor
to the improvement of the roads in the dis
trict. Each male therefore between the ages
mentioned, are compelled to perform two
days labor each year and there is no way to
shirk such work if the supervisor will fulfill
his Office properly. There is no excuse for
the rough condition of many of our much
travelled highways, when very little firm
ness on the supervisors part, followed by the
requisite labor, will remove all the incon-
venience of bad roads.
