For Better Roads.

There should be some vigorous
action taken by the people of Gar
rett county looking to the improve
mcnt of its public highways. There
is no doubt but that those who are
required to use the highways of this
county for either business or pleas
ure purposes, have been frequently
called upon with more or less earn
estness to emphasize their feelings
in regard to the miserable condition
of the roads in this locality.
The fact that no united effort has
been made upon the part of our cit
liens for a betterment on this sub
ject, or bestowed much thought on
the matter is source of much re-
gret.
Good roads in a community de-
velop thrift and progressiveness, in
creases the value of property, there
by the taxable basis and consequent
decrease of the percentage rate.
The poorer the roads, the poorer
the farm and the farmer. There is
nothing that would benefit the far
mer and develop the agricultural
and commercial resources of this
county to as great an extent as the
Inauguration of a complete and
thorough road system.
The agitation of this question
should command the active and en-
ergetic zeal and support of every
voter and citizen of the county I'M
til some practical means shall be
adopted that shall result in a favor
able consummation.
The farmers of the county should
especially take a hearty interest in
the matter and by concerted and
united action, agitate and evolve
some plan which would lead to a
healthful conclusion.
All classes of people reintimately
concerned in the subject, and should
give the matter their hearty sup
port.

Tin Plate and Terne Plate Distin-
guiShed.

Principally through ignorance,
and partly for partisan reasons, the
daily papers throughout the coun-
try are badly mixed as to tin and
terne plates, making no distinction
whatever between the two. These
papers warn their readers that lead
is poisonous, and that the tin plate
manufactured in America contains
so much lead in It's coating that,
when manufactured into kitchen
utensils, it is bound to instill poi
son into the human system. Such
ignorance is objectionable, and such
partisanship unfair. For instance,
the terne plates manufactured at
Piqua, Ohio, have been taken as an
example to warn the people by. Now
the fact of the matter is, the Gin
cinnati Corrugating company, whose
works are at Piqua, Ohio, do not
manufacture tin plate out of which
kitchen utensils are made, nor do
they claim to. The company pro-
duce roofing materials, of which
terne plate is one. These plates
are sometimes called tin terne plates,
but not properly so, because the IL
tie is so easily misunderstood. Terne
plates are used for roofing, as be-
fore stated, and not for making ket-
ties, pans, &C., which are manufac-
tured from tin plate, notwitstand-
ing the fact that the tin and terne
plates, to the novice, look much
alike. Terne plates are dipped in
bath of lead and tin, principally
lead. That is what was done at
Piqua, Ohio, and was plainly and
distinctly stated at the time that
they were terne plates that the pig
tin in their composition was Amer
lean, having been produced in Cal
ifornia at the Temescal mines in
San Bernardino county, and that
the lead was from Missouri. The
tin plate writer's of the partisan
daily press are more in need of a
training school education than the
country is in need of their protec-
tion in preventing humanity from
being filled with lead in times of
peace.-St. Louis Stoves and Hard
ware.

A Hint to Business Men

Man wants but little here below,
but he wants that little when he
needs it. A merchant would not
feel that he needed customers for
his goods when his store was full of
people buying what they need. On
the other hand, if he can bring them
into his store in the dull season, by
advertising his need of buyers, and
by offering inducements to buy, he
will be doing the right thing at the
right time, and would get what he
wants. Our advice to business men
is to keep their business before the
public at all times by advertisement
in the newspapers-that's part of
their business here. Keep up your
advertisement with the same care
that you do your stock. 1t will
pay you.

To the Editor ofThe Republican,
Now as our representatives to the

new assessment as there has been no
general assessment since 1876. Since
tnat time, circumstances being
favorable, some persons have great
ly increased the amount of their
personal property and improved
their real estate and in many cases
may be worth double what it was
fifteen years ago, while others hay
ing met with reverses, the opposite
may be said, yet the assessment is
the same, unless those who had loss
appealed to the commissioners to
have their assessment reduced.
There is not much danger of those
who had an increase of property
would ask the privilege of paying
more tax. | believe the assessment
is very uneven throughout the

ABUSING THE STOMACH.
The Country Men Use Themselves Bet
ter Than Those of Cities.

One reason why city people are so much
more afflicted with illness than country
people, said leading physician to New
York Press reporter, Is because of the
difference in their habits of eating. Your
countryman eats q hearty breakfast be-
fore in the morning. He eats ahearty
dinner at noon. AT 6 O'Clock he takes a
light supper, rests for a couple of hours
or more and goes to bed to sleep and re-
cuperate. There is nothing like sleep to
give renewed energy to the physical man.
Your city man gets his breakfast at to 8
O'Clock. 1t is heavy breakfast, but he
eats light because his head is generally
heavy. If he has been late in getting up
he bolts his food and rushes off to his
office, with his stomach struggling to get
the best of the chunks of stuff he has flung
into 1t. AT II or o'clock he bolts Il lunch
meats, pastry and fruits and liquor in
such conglomeration as to make his poor
stomach howl with anguish.
Then at 8 o'clock he eats an enormous
course dinner, washes it down with two
or three kinds of wine, coffee and liquors.
He has no time to rest afrerward, but
rushes off to the theater, and when he
leaves the theater he sits down to mid
night supper that drives his poor stom-
ach wild again. He rolls into bed at or
z O'Clock and wonders why he cannot
sleep. There are few old-fashioned men
in New York who still insist on the coun-
try habit of eating dinner in the middle
OF the day and supper ats. know some
OF them, and they haven't an ache or a
pain. But the other fellows are troubled
with headaches, kidney troubles, liver
difficulties and all sorts of disorders

THE STRANGER ON THE SILL.

Between broad fields of wheat and corn
is the ioWly home where was born;
The peach tree leans against the WALL
And the woodbine wanders over all;
There is the shaded doorway still
But strangers foot has crossed the sill.
There is the barnard, as of yorc,
can smell the hay from the open door,
And see the busy swallows throng
And hear the pewee's mournful song;
But the stranger comes-oh! painful proof
His sheaves are piled to the heated roof.
There is the orchard-the very trees
Where my childhood knew long hours of ease
And watch the shadowy moments run
Till my life imbibed more shade than sun;
The swing from the bough still sweeps the air
But the strangers children are swinging there
There bubbles the shady spring below,
With its bulruSh brook where the hazels grow;
Twas there found the calamus root,
And watched the minnows poise and shoot,
And heard the robin lave its wing,
But the strangers bucket is at the spring
ye, who daily cross the sill
Step lightly, for love it still:
And when you crowd the old barn caves,
Then think what countless harvest sheayes
Have passed within that scented door
70 gladden. eyes that are no more!
Deal kindly with these orchard trees:
And when your children crowd their knees
Their sweetest fruit they shall impart
As if old memories stirred their heart;
To youthful sport still leave the swing,
And In sweet reverence hold the spring.
The barn, the trees, the brook, the birds,
The meadows with their loving herds,
The woodbine on the cottage wall
My heart still fingers with them all
Ye strangers on my native sill,
Step lightly, for love it still! 80
