GOOD ROADS.
A. Well Is . Good Subject for
Reflection.

81 have no doubt that, that there
are Q number of Sedalis people who
have never seriously thought of the
necessity Of good roads," said . citi-
zea to . BAzoo representative.
''It would pay this city to carefully
investigate this matter. We should
know to Q cent how much each town
ship levies for road improvement. and
In what manner it il being expended.
Simply this evidence of interest in
good roads would excite the gratitude
Of the farming community; but We
must 90 further than that. We must
make liberal subscriptions and at the
ame time enlist the hearty co-opera-
ton of the county court.
Railroads are great builders of
towns, but after obtaining through
them access to the principal markets,
It would be suicidal to fold our hands
and wait for growth. Tho railways
azs nothing more than the foundation
upon which the superstructure u to
b built.
Nothing can centralize trade like
good roads, and nothing can 60 thor.
oughly disintegrate it - bad ones.
The experience of every merchant in
this city will emphasize that state
ment.
"Our highways should be in such .
condition that the town could be
reached with the heaviest possible
load Of grain at any season of the
year. That condition would give the
hrmers more time and more money
and each year the increased trade
would repay any expenditure that
would be necessitated on the part Of
Sedalia.
81 have no particular method of
improvement to advocate. It Willie

CATION discover. the best possible way.
At present Vernon county is expend-
ing thousands of dollars in . baphaz-
ard manner and the result u about -

action. Without it nothing can be
accomplished. The present methods
arc miserable failures, and . wanton
waste Of labor and money.
