THE HOME PAPER.-A sensible
minister'has the following to say OF
the local newspaper which will bear
careful perusal. "Your paper tells
you when to 60 to church, to coun-
ty court, and when and where to
send the children to school. 1t
tells you who is dead, who is sick,
who is married, and many other
things you would like to know. 1t
calls attention to public enterprises,
advocates the best schools and law
aud order in your county. 1t re-
cords the marriage of your daugh-
ter, the death OF your son, and the
illness of your wife free of charge.
1t sets forth the advantages and
attractions of your town, and in
vites immigration, and is the first
to welcome new corners. Yet, in
spite of all these benefits, some
people say that the home paper is
not half so good as some city paper
that has no interest in their bust
ness or success. The home paper,
like the home church, is too often
neglected by those who are benefit
ted.

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROAD:

ADVANTAGES OF COOP 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,
the horse, farmer and merchant.
If two horses haul the load of
iour, one wagon haul the load of
two, one set of harness haul the
load of two, one driver serve for
two and six miles instead of three
be made per hour, the aggregate
saving would double the net income
of the average farmer. This de-
sideratum can only be accomplished
by the means of good public roads.
The effect of good public roads
upon land values is to greatly en-
nance them.
Experience has shown that the
value of ground is in direct ratio
to the good condition of the streets
or roads which traverse them.
A road system is the means OF
facilitating intercourse.
1nter-communication is the back
bone of business. Good public
roads are the primary necessities of
of civilized life and national pros
perity.
