ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
County Judge Jones Has Plans Laid Out for snective Work on the Public
 Highway,

Yesterday afternoon County Judge
 Jones stated to n reporter for th, GRAPHIC that he had noticed what the GRAPHIC had to say concerning
 the present unfavorable condition oi our county roads and bridges.
 Judge Jones said he would agree with us that number of our roads
 were in bad shape but he claimed
 that Jefferson county now had the
 best bridges Of any county in the State. We have no doubt that Judge Jones is correct We know
 that he has done for Jefferson county what no other County Judge has done before this administration. built good, substantial bridges all over the county where they were needed, and those bridges as mentioned in yesterdays GRAPHIC as being iii an unsafe condition, we are informed hy Judge Jones, have been securely re- paired recently. Now, the proposf- ti0n is, how are the highways to be placed in better condition? The levying board at it's last session ap- propriated NJ GOO with which to pnr- chase tools for working our public roads. This appropriation yet re mains untouched. Judge Jones in- formed a GRAfmC man yesterday that he intended at an early day to purchase teams and implements, engage the services of some good man to take charge of the same and superintend the construction of the county roads. His plan then is to notify road overseers the day or days he will send the teams and imple- ments to them for use. By this as distance he thinks that the road overseers and workmen will be en- abled to do better work and more rapidly improve the condition of the roads. We are glad to note that Judge Jones intends to proceed at once with this work He has already given us good bridges, now, if he will give Us good roads we will call his name blessed.

When the changes that are desired are com pletcd Engine Company No, ] will move into thedepartments arranged for them in the city hall and by this means will save the city about $500 in rents annually. These boys should be highly commended for the work they are doing, and the proper way for our citizens to show their appreciation of their efforts in re- trenchment and reform is to aid the committees that are out today offer ingcity script atpar, by which means they wish to raise sufficient money to pay the fire department for past services. The December pay roll re mains unpaid: the firemen need their money and our citizens should come promptly to their rescue. We hope the committee will succeed in their efforts

mates were out. The government makes

would be a fair estimate OF the yield.
There are other statisticians who place
the yield from 4l0.OOO,O00 to 1850 5000
to 425 900 900 bu, and claim that they
are nearer the crop than the government,
as they get returns from about the same
sources. II Is rather amusing to hear
the different theories in regard TO the
quantity OF wheat fed TO stock. There
undoubtedly has bsen more wheat than
usual consumed in tins way owing to
the edently low price and the
