OUR COUNTY ROADS
THE FARMER WHO NEEDS
G0UD ROADS.
Should Interest Himself in This
Matter.


The almost impossible condition
of our county roads ut this season
of the year is general complaint
especially among tho farmers aud
travelling men. On account Of the
changeable weather Of tire winter
there may be some excuse for this
condition of our tborougbtares, but
we hardly believe that tBe defect
is beyond remedy. Tits reasonable
TO suppose that a proper superin-
tendence of our road building and
repairing would result il better
roads. The amount of road tax
upon an average is quite signii
cant compared with our total tax.
Some districts pay as high as sixty
cents on the hundred dollars tol.
road purposes aud yet tss afnouut
is SO expended as to leave the roads
in most miserable condition for
travel We scarcely believe that
the fault is one of dishonest intent,
nor that the road officers are negli
gent in duty, but that the defect
arises from lack of knowledge upon
the question. Possibly, many OF
the surveyors cling 10 old time
methods and give no thought TO
modern methods. Others, perhaps,
though perfectly willing, have not
the ability to practice methods of
the latest improvements. While
others may be couceited enough to
turn deaf ear to all suggestions OF
better methods.
The axpayer should interest
himself in this matter OF great i'm
portance to him and use his infu-
ence in determining the proper
persons for surveyors. In fact, sur
veyors should be men well poste d
upon road matters and those not
afraid to employ the best standard
in methods. They should be men
of conviction beyond the needing
of the few miserly who to save a
mere pittance are always crying
out against good road work. In
every community there are always
Il few opposed to enterprise and, OF
course, always upon the alert TO
suggest to suit their own narrow
ideas. Deplorable too it may be
truly said, these have sometimes
their way, the consequence being
the Inconvenience Of those OF
thrift.
Why any farmer Should array
himself against good roads is Il
mystery. When he does 50 he op
poses and retards his own Interests,
Successful domination of this op
position inficts injury upon both
him and his neighb ors, gives him
and them more labor in marketing
their products, and is a disadvan
tage TO the entire vicinity in in
Vulnerable ways, the one Of the
most significant being the decrease
in the value of land.
Our County Court and road Off
GERS as well as every farmer should
give the matter more consideration.
Let the court appoint only such
men as are capable aud make ample
provision for the best machinery
let the road officers be more dill
gent and attentive to the worf
and let the taxpayer bring to be I
upon the court the impor-
lance of proper employment q
the enormous tax paid out for road
support.
AS it is now we have nothing
but mud and water in winter ard
small powders and hard clay banks
in summer Why not have solid
surface in winter and a smooth one
in summer?

The area of hardwood timber in
West Virginia is not only greater
than. that of any other State in the
Union, but it is greater than that
of any single political subdivision
Of the globe. There lies within her
borders one third of all the poplar
timber in the United States.
The productions last year was:
Poplar, 125, 100000 feet; hard wood,
other than poplar, 75,OOO,O0O feet;
spruce and pine, 100000 feet.
Notwithstanding this, it is estimated
that the present output may be
kept up for forty years without
any material diminution Of the sup
ply.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Feb. 3-My last
bulletin gave forecasts of the storm
waves to cross the continent from
January LIST 10 February 4th and
February 9Th to 10Th. The next will
reach the Pacific coast about Feb.
Illh, cross the western mountain
country by the close of 18th, the
great central valleys from 18th to
18th. and the eastern states about
the 10Th.
This disturbance will be at its
greatest force west of the Mississip
pi river aud the greatest precipita-
ton will occur east of that river.
The warm wave will cross the
western mountain country about
the 1lth, the great central valleys
about 18th, and the eastern states
about 18th. The cool wave will
cross the western mountain coun-
try about 18th, the great central
valleys about 10Th and the eastern
states about 18th.
The spring drouth will begin a
little later than it did in 1894. All
the country east of meridian 100
and north of the 10th degree OF
north latitude, also the country
east of the Mississippi and north of
Tennessee and North Carolina will
experience Jrouth in April and
May. Not every locality in the
country will be dry but a large por-
ton of the country mentioned
La a large portion of the country
east of the Mississippi river aud
south of Kentucky and Virginia an
excess of rainfall will occur in April
and May.
Readers MIST not construe the
above to mean that a universal
drouth will occur in the north and
universal flood in the south, 1t
simply means that deficiency will
occur in the northeast as a whole
and an excess in the southeast as a
whole.
