DVANTAGES OF GOOD
ROADS.

A country without roads will re
main undeveloped, its hidden treas
ures stored away.
Where poor roads prevail every
thing else is very apt to be poor, tho
horse, farmer and merchant.
ii two horses haul the lond of four
one wagon nnul the load of two, one
set of hurness haul the load of two,
one driver serve for two. and six
miles instead of throe be male per
hour. he aggregate saving would
double the net income of the average
farmer. This desideratum can only
be accomplished by the means OF
good public roads.
Experience has shown that the
value of ground IL in direct ratio to
the good condition of the streets or
roads which traverse them.
A road system is the means of ia.
cilitnting intercourse.
INSTRUMENTATION is the back
bone of business. Good public roads
are the primary necessities of civil.
lied life and national prosperity.

W0RLD'R FAIR NOTES.
A Few poIsrnns Amour CrncAo,

As great mtny of the readers of the
NEWS will mike their first trip to Chicago
during the Worlds Fair, few pointers
regarding tho geography of tho city will
be Appreciated. In tho first plnco, fix
firmly i'll your mind tho fact TINT Lake
Michigan forms the cnstcrn boundary Of
tho entire city, and il you stand fncing the
hike with both arms outstrctched the loft
hand will point to the North Pole and the
right hnnd will point arnight down tho
tracks of tho BIG FOUR ROUTE to tho
Worlds Fair Buildings situnlcd nj the
southcrn end of the city. Paste this In
your hat md you have the key to the en-
tire situation. Coming into Ohicago on
trains of tho Big -Four Houte. which is tho
only railrond having mn entrance on tho
south sido along tho, lake front, where all
the hotels and boarding houses nro locat-
ed, you will find yourself pnssing pract-
emily through the Exposition Grounds and
q magnificent panoramic view of tho Fnir
IL Obtained.
At the Worlds Fhir Station of the Big
Four Route. If you step off Mt tho right
side, You nre Mt the entrance gate to tho
Exposition and can begin "doing" tho
Fair at once; if you step of on tho left
side, You will find yourself in tho finest
residence portion of Chicago, md right in
boarding house district. The chances are
ton to ,ne you will bo within fow min
ntos wink of the very place you have ae-
lected for your headquarters
If you prefer TO go down town, ten min.
utes ride vii! bring you to the new Twelfth
Street Station in tho heart of the city.
Now bear in mind tho mnnifest advantage
of entering Chicago on the Big -Four
Route. In the first place you avoid on
tirely the bother and trouble of tedious
transfer across the city. which is necessary
vim all other lines, being landed directly at
the Exposition Grounds M advantage of
fere,l by no other line; and in the second
place you can so fix tn, geography of the
city in your mind that you will ut once
become ns familiar with Chicago as you are
with your own town.
Another point in favor of the Big Four
Route is found in tho fact that if you en-
ter Cincinnati on The Queen & Crescent
Routo, Louisville d Nashville Il. r., Ken
tmcky Central Ry. Chesapeake e. Ohio Ry.
or Baltimore x Ohio S. w. II. r., connec-
ton Is made in Union Depot. avoiding the

WHAT HAS RESULTED.
Who told you year ago or more
To vote for Grover Cleveland sure
And have good times forever more7

Who told You they'd increase your pay,
And give you work from day to day,
And help your pocket every way7
The Democrats.
Who said twas right to have free trade,
And have our goods in England made,
Where the laborer is so poorly paid?
The Democrats.
Who, when our business was having boom.
Called for a change and stopped most every
loom,
Aud marched down the streets with a zoos
ter and broom1
The Democrats.
Who said that the tariff was rObbing the
poor;
That the manufacturers were "robbers" sure;
And that all monopoly they would cure?
The Democrats.
Who told you you'd have lots of money;
That the streets would flow with milk and
honey;
And if the rich didn't suffer it would surely
be funny?
The Democrats.
Who have yet to fulfill one promise they
made.
About the glorious wages that this year
would be paid
Under the grand system of Euglauds free

Who told you all that this stuff was rash;
If you voted for Grover you'd lose lots Of
cash.
And business would get most terrible crash7

the PeninsuIa Railroad.

The business men and farmers Of the Pen
insula are very much interested IN the sub
ject Of building a branch road Of the Balli-
more and Ohio railroad from Elkton down
the Peninsula through the counties Of the
Eastern Shore. An urgent appeal is being
made for a Peninsula convention before the
meeting Of the Legislature, as some import
ant legislation may be needed to complete
the project The establishment Of such a
railroad could but result in the mutual ad-
vantage of the farmers and business men Of
the entire Peninsula. Better accommoda-
tious and cheaper rates for travel aud freight
would necessarily be the result It has been
suggested that each coanty of the Eastern
Shore appoint committee of representative
men, and a convention be held at some con-
venient poiut and the matter be thoroughly
investigated. We heartily concur in the sug-
gestion. Let so.1e county take the lead and
we believe the rest will follow. Kent is
ready and willing to do her part-Chestey-
