In these fast days dishonesty is
apt to be confounded with business
tact. Thus many youths start in
life with the idea that success de-
pends upon chicanery, They imagine
that if a man is always able to "gat
the best of bargain" no mat
ter by what deceit and meanness he
carries his point, that his prosperity
is assured. Nothing can be farther
from the truth. Enduring prosperi-
ty cannot be founded upon cunning
and dishonesty. The tricky and
dcceitful man is sure to fall Il vic.
tim, sooner or later, TO the in.
flnences which are forever working
against him.

The roads in various sections oil
Sullivan county are in almost impas-
sible condition owing to their being
cut to pieces by the heavy loads OF
bark and lumber that daily pass over
them, Poor roads are q detriment
to any county, state, or nation. Our
people have never given the proper
amount of attention to public thor
oughfares. At various times our
state legislature has attempted to
enact measures for the improvements
Of country roads but so far nothing
has been accomplished. We believe
that q law requiring all heavy wag-
ons to have three or four inch tire
would be u long step in the direction
of improved roads. In England we
are told that no draught wagon is
allowed with less than six inch tire
This acts like a roller on the roads
and they are kept hard and
smooth in consequence of it. The
saving on horses and wagons is i'm
mense. The increased loads that
can be carried and the saving of val
liable time make transportation much
cheaper. No road is there allowed
to be made unless laid out by COM
petent civil engineers and approved
by a commissioner of public works.
In fact almost as much care is taken
IN the making of wagon roads as
there is in the making of railroads
Good roads indicate an advance
state of civilization. In Mexico or
Spain we expect poor roads. In the
United States we expect something
better. Our people should wake up
on the question of road making. Only
progressive men should be elected
road commissioners. We pay taxes
enough to have good roads. Let
the question be properly studied and
let every tax payer insist upon roads
that reflect the progress and intelli-
gence of our age and our country.

Inc red ants can continue their

they rest for two or three hours DUR

ticularly the workers, and have often
found them in full activity at night.
They always move in hot haste as If

great annoyance TO the. farmers by
their extensive ravages in the fields,

expended in insecticide apparatus and
poisons. One of the most efficacious
of the former is small furnace for
the burning of sulphur, that can be

of the sulphurous acid gas applied in
