AS we have not seen anything in
your valuable paper from this part
of old Garrett, | will send you a
few items for publication.
We have had some very rough
weather since the ground hog saw
his profile, and went back to his
quiet nest.
Owing to the rough weather our
Epworth League did not meet last
Sunday evening. Our league will
hold a literary meeting on Wednes-
day evening, February Goth. All
are invited to attend; have quite an
interesting program.
There has been quite a lot of
sickness in this neighborhood for
some time-chichen pox and sore
throat, some call it diphtheria.
Our school is going on nicely.
Mr.. William A. Robson is saw
ing quite lot of lumber this win
ter.
Miss Maud Pope is on the sick
list at Mr. Adam Werner's.
Mr.. Thomas Garry is doing a
large lot of chopping on his new
grist mill; grinds every Monday.
Mr.. George W. Blocher has the
two champion steers, weighing oyer
thirty-one hundred pounds.
Winfield s. Layman paid his
uncle Ralph Engle visit Saturday
and Sunday.
Miss Maggie L. Layman has been
sick for a week or so with sore
throat.
Mr.. Anthony Layman has shep-
herd dog that he will not take a
thousand dollars for.
Mr.. r. T. Layman was drying a
very fine horse and sleigh Sunday.
l think the girls are praying for
snow more this winter than they
did for the Fourth of July to come,
because they know that some of the
young men have good horses and
sleighs.
| would like to hear from some of
our other correspondents.

All Night Lights.

At special meeting of the city
council last night the proposition to
enter into contract with Mr.. d. E.
Offutt, owner of the electric light
plant, for another year, was dis
oussed, resulting in ordering SIX ad-
ditional lights being placed IN dark
places Of the town and to have the
power of the lights increased from
1900 candle power to 1000 candle
power, and also to have the lamps
kept burning all night, every night
in the year. The cost Of each lamp
for this service will be SS5.

RAILROADS AND WAGON ROADS.
A Thorough System of Good Roads
Would Benefit Railroads.

A Thorough System of Good Roads
Would Benefit Railroads.
Many of the railroad companies
of the land have expressed their
friendly interest in the good roads
movement by offering to transport
materials and machinery for the i'm
provement of highways at reduced
rates.
This seeming liberality of the
railroad companies is merely dis
play of good sense and good bust
ness, remarks The L. 4. ". BuUe-
TIN. But the incentive for their
acts, like "the flowers that bloom
in the spring, have nothing to do
with the case" except it is hope
ful sign that business and not sym
pathy prompts them to do as they
have done.
1t is a well understood fact that
the distance to market should be
measured largely by the dynamome-
ter rather than by the surveyors
chain. Hence the better the roads
the larger the area from. which a
railroad will deriye patronage. and
the less likelihood of competing or
other lines being asked for and con-
structed.
Produce that cannot be hauled to
the railroad with profit to the farmer
is so much business lost to the rail-
roads.
On ordinary roads the cost of
hauling produce to the local railway
station is several times as much as
the railroad charges for conveying
it to the metropolis or seaboard.
1t is clear that bad roads may
make the marketing of much pro-
duce improbable and unwise,
whereas good roads would make 1t
worth transporting, and thus they
| would greatly increase the railroads
income and at the same time benefit
the farmers.
Under present conditions railroad
traffic in many sections of the coun-
try depends on every change Of the
weather that may effect the wagon
roads. In very muddy times, no
produce is marketed, and sudden
freeze up may precipitate rush,
which proves l1convenient to the
railroad company. Good weather
proof roads would insure a more
regular shipment of farm products
and a more even market for the
same.
All IN all thorough system of
cool roads would benefit the rail
roads very greatly. Every wagon
road is feeder to railroad. The
better and more extended the for
mer, the more business for the lat
ter.
1t is simply good business for the
railroad companies to do all they
can to encourage and materially
aid in the improvement of high
ways

Disturbing Public Worship.

A letter was received at this office
one day recently signed by Senator
Ravenscroft and Assemblymen
Otto and HillearY asking that the
law now on the statute books relat-
ing to the disturbing of public
meetings be published. The gen.
tlemen IN the letter say that they
have received numerous letters from
their constituents asking that such
a law be passed when 1t is already
a law and has been for half cen
tury or more. The section of the
law referred to reads as follows:
If any person shall disturb any
congregation, society, or meeting
assembled for the purpose of relig-
ious worship, by blowing horns or
trumpets, firing guns, or by any
riotous or disorderly conversation,
or by any other means, with intent
to interrupt or disturb the worship,
devotion or exercises of such con-
gregation, society or meeting, or of
any of the persons attending such
meeting, he, on conviction before
any justice Of the peace in the
county wherein such offense shall
be committed, shall be fined not
less than five nor more than twenty
dollars, and be committed to jail
until the fine and costs are paid.

whom the sole consolation of d
healthy pauper is denied. Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters is a certain,
