FRIENDSHIP.

The roads are in bad condition
We have the worse roads from this
place to Berlin, a distance of three
miles, that | know Of in the county
Where are the commissioners do
they not know that the road is Il
perfect ditch? When we have to 90 to
Berlin we have to 90 by water. We
pay taxes for the roads and 90 in the
water. This can be removed by little
work. The roads ought to be worked
in the spring and let the summer suns
dry them. We hope Me>srs. Editors
that you will present this in the
MESSENGER for the people to see. and
| know it can be remedicd. We have
enough to contend with the hard times
that we cannot help. but hope the
commissioners will help Us with our

Free school Book =.

President John Walter Smith, of the
Senate, declares that his bill to pro-
vide the public schools with textbooks
free Of charge is plain business prop
osition. lie points out the fact that
the cost of books in the school of Bos-
ton has been as low aS 40 cts. a year
for each scholar. and in Baltimore it
is less than 81 per capita on the aver.
age enrolment. We now spend an
nually in Maryland, says Mr.. Smith,
SllSS to educate each child, and we
do not get the full advantage Of the
expenditure for lack of an additional
appropriation of less than one dollar
each Furnishing books free in all
places where il has been tried has
been followed by an increased attend
ance and by more efficient schools.
Educating the people is not throwing
money away nor spending it in charity.
Ii is business proposition Not only
ought citizens to be intelligent for the
common veal. but ii is fact that in
communities where educated people
live property is always more valuable
than among the illiterate. Increased
intelligence, therefore. means increased
wealth and production. and it means
decrea sed crime and taxation.

In accordance with a petition signed
by twenty-iour of our citizens, which
was published i'll the MESSENGER OF
last week. another citizens meeting was
held in McAllcn's Hall Wednesday
evening. As on the night OF the pre-
vious meeting it was raining and many
were thereby prevented from attending
Those who signed the petition were
ont in force and organized by electing
DIR. John :. Aydelotte chairman and
Charles f. Parker. Secretary. M,
being present III person, and the state
ment of those present for and against
water works being directly contradic-
tory. We cannot report any satisfactory
result of the meeting. Tie only question
discussed. as we are informed, was
whether or not the question of water
works should he submitted to the peo-
pie at special election. To Il motion
that this question should he submitted
an amendment was offered or motion
made Ia table the same. which il is
claimed by those favoring water works
was carried hy vote of twenty-five to
nineteen. and by those opposing water
works that il was defeated by the same
vote. \ motion for Il recount was
urged by those iavoring water works
but was refused.
\ vote on submitting question Ia
people was then taken. twenty-nine
votes being counted for. and none
against, it was declared carried. Those
favoring water works refused To vote
on this question. giving as their reason
that it had already been laid on the
table by a majority of three votes The
meeting then adjourned.
We are sorry that anyone should
ohje ct TO this, the first town improve
ment proposed, but we believe large
majority Of our people want water
works, rs evidenced by the numerously
signed petition published last week, the
effort of which has not been counter

A Horse Swallows a Snake.

j. NJ. Wolfkill. Chambersburg
grocer, has a fine young horse on his
farm on the Warmsprung road. owned
by the tenant, John Eberly, says the
Repository The colt has been ailing
or quite a while and despite medicine
would get no better. Several times
he was so sick that hc was turned out
in the field TO die, but he would get
better. Recently some powders were
given him and he seemed to grow bet
ter On Thursday morning Mr.
Wolfkill's farmer turned the horse
out to water and was amazed to see
him kick up his heels and ganbol
like hutchie.
Investigation disclosed living upon
the ground Il blacksnake four feet long.
of Il faded color, which had come from
the horse. Tho snake had been dead
for five or six days apparently. but
previous To that had doubtless been Il
disturbing element in the horse ;
midst and would have eventually kill
ell him. The animal probably swal-
lowed the snake whilst drinking. how
long ago can only be copjectured, but
as snakes do not grow very rapidly
and it could not have been very large
when absorbed il must have been some
time ago.
The horse is doing well now and
gaining strength. This is most re
marSable tale. but it is true. and de-
spite the snake in it, must be credited.
