June bugs have, forsooth, had their day
and now katydids cheer us with their
peculiar NOES. Owls with their who-who-
who are you? and the rnournful cry of
whip.poor-w break the silence of the
night. How changed when cheerful dawn
gilds the horizon! Inspiring song Of mock
ing birds, robins. etc. ,praising the sovereign

think that what we have seen proves with
force Of demonstration little short of
mathematical, that the only way TO have
good roads is to have uniform system and
to appoint men of ability to carry out the
requirements of same. The great waste Of
money which has been expended on roads
of the county has been burden TO tax
payers. Time, of course, win prove the
wisdom of the present system. So far as
our knowledge extends roads are located
with proper regard To- the topography of
the county.
An occasional magistrates trial occurs.
The scene of trials take place in one of the
apartments of A. s. Benville and Company's
store, and SO far as our knowledge extends
