BENEFITS OF GOOD ROADS TO
THE FARMER.
THEY IMPROVE HIS BUSI-
NESS AND ADD To HIS
PLEASURE.
Agitation for Better Highways is
Now Spreading all Over the
Country and there isa Gen
eral Move Towards I'M
prOvements in Coun-
try Roads.

Surely, if there ia any one to be
benefited by the improvement OF
country roads, 1t is the farmers. The
trouble with those who are object
ing to road improvements is often
that they are too short-slghted TO see
their own advantage. They forget
that every trip to town with load OF
CROPS means an expenditure OF time
and effort, wear and tear on wagons
and harness, all of which means dol
lars and cents to them.
Good roads not only mean larger
loads. they mean faster trips. They
mean that where it required four
horses to draw a given load while the
road was poor, only two horses are
necessary after it is properly improv-
ed; that the wagon and the buggy
will last twice as long, because OF less
hard usage on gravel hills and stony
roads. They mean that the distance
to the next house is decreased by
half, because it takes only half as
long as before to reach it with the
buggy. They mean that the farmer
can see his neighbors oftener, anc
come into closer touch with the
world.
: They mean that the children can
get to school easier, and will haye to
miss school less often on account OF
muddy roads. They mean that a
shower of rain will not keep the farm
ers home on election day, when it is
their duty to go to the polls and vote,
They me an that it will become posi-
BILE to deliver mail throughout the
country districts, instead OF requiring
people in the country to go to town
to get it. They mean greater con
yeniences of many kinds, and the
mapv benefits which necessarily fol-
low better means of communication
with the world.
1t is a pleasure to see that the
friends of the good roads movement
are multiplying every year; that the
farmers institutes are taking up the
matter; that the agricultural societies
are discussing means of improving
county roads; that the successful
and progressive farmers are taking
up the agitation for better highways
and convincing their neighbors upon
the subject; that road machinery Is
purchased in larger quantities each
wear; that the number of town meet
ings which vote to retain the old sys
TEN of s.working out the road taxes
is growing smaller continually, and
that the old plow and shovel methoo
of road building is crowded back in
to the pages of history. The farmers
/ of this country are realizing that bet
ter roads mean everything to them,
and it is safe to say that we are upon
the verge of general effort to place
the roads of the United States upon
a proper footing. The matter Of
roads is one in which we are. far be
hind, however great our progress II
other directions may have been. ano
it is a source of wonder to every Eu
ropean who visits the United States
that we have been content to leave
our roads in such wretched shape.

HARD TIMES
How to Live, How to save and
How to Deal in Margins.

counting the cost expecting
something to turn up; to strike
some scheme or to find some
thing which will not only en-
able them to pay their debts
but make them wealthy, He
who surely follows this plan
will just as surely come to
want. He who calculates well
will, at the end of the year,
see what his expenses and in
come have been. If he finds
his income has not been suf.
ficient to meet his bills and lay
up a small margin besides, he
should begin to look around
and see where he can cut down
best. The past year has been
a hard one on every one of us
and this year we will all have
to cut down our expenses.
There are many ways in which
man can save, that little
here and a little there will soon
amount to a large sum. For
instance, when you go to buy
your Drugs, Books, Oils and
Paints, Wall and Window Pa
perH, go to Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book Store where
you will always find a large,
nice stock to select from. Get
their prices, then if you are
not suited 60 elsewhere and
see if you can not do little
better. Always go where you
can get what you need (not
what you want), for the least
money.
Messrs. Saur & Balsley have
had over thirty years of con-
tinuous business experience in
their line, and have always
made an effort to buy goods
at the very lowest cash prices.
In the drug department every
thing is kept nice, new and
fresh; no old remedies allowed
to accumulate and only those
i which have been tried and
proved, are recommended by
this house. In the line OF
Paints, Oils and Varnishes the
best in the land is always Sc
cured and sold at the lowest
prices. Wall and window pa
pers, cloth shades and fixtures
are made a speciality. Every.
thing in the line Of School
Books, Miscellaneous Books.
Blank, books for all kind ol
tradesmen, Pass Books, Mem
oranuums, Diaries, Writing Pa,
per, Stationary, etc., you will
always find complete and SOLD
at bottom prices. Trusses, Sup
porters, Shoulder Braces anG
Surgical Instruments Of al
kinds kept constantly on hane
and can be furnished on short
notice.
During this season a specia
price will be put on all paints
and oils to get room for the
spring stock. 1t would pay
you to lay in q supply.
Remember the place,
SAUR & BALSLEY.

THE OBJECT IN VIEW.

INDUSTRY is the prime factor OF
a successful career. On this basis
rest all hopes of wealth, honor and
happiness. But, to be effective,
industry must be guided by def
mite object in view to impart
stimulus and love of work. If we
start out to accomplish any par
ticular line of work and keep it
constantly in view, throwing whole
heart and soul into every detail
that promotes it's successful end,
the chances Of success are always
greater than those of failure. The
object being in view and what is
required to reach it known, every
effort bends in that direction until
success is assured.
All great careers began i'll prep
aration. Grant did not become a
great soldier by chance: Edison's
inventive genius was born in study
and observation and not in aimless
speculations: Pasteur's discoveries
were the result of careful investi-
cation and not the good fortune of
accident. They each attained emf
nence in their respective fields by
persistently following the aim they
had in view, devoting their time,
abilities and powers of application
in mastering everything that apper-
tanned to their chosen calling and,
by strengthening their will-power
as proficiency was acquired, finally
stood at the summit Of their pro-
fession. 1t is the same with peo-
pie of inferior abilities and fewer
opportunities. If what is DOS
sessed is not directed with the aim
of accomplishing something def
mite, their use is productive of
nothing profitable OF of lasting
benefit. Viewing labor as neces-
sary evil, as something that should
be shirked instead of attended to
and as curse rather than a bless
inc. inSureS habits of SlOthfulneSS
and life of failures, regrets and
wasted opportunities. The excuse
of lack of opportunities, is the ex-
cuse Of the idler and the shiftless.
They seek no opportunities, no
improvement, no advancement, and
when the prizes that are won only
by habits of industry and follow
ing the course that leads to the OBJ
ject in view, are denied them, they
have only themselves to blame for
neg lecting to create their oppor-
tunities.
By having an object in view,
work is made more pleasant and ma
terially assists in forming habits of
industrious application. Whatever
is sought after, is full Of interest,
and when interest is shown in work
it's burdens become lighter and the
desire awakened to improve it.
All faculties are infused with the
spirit of energy and the good re-
solves that lead to good endeavor
formed as the object in view is APP
preached and success assured.
AS habits of application become
fixed, not only will the will be
