UP THE VALLEY.
Sample Half Mile Of Road
Will be Begun Soon.
SayIesviIIe, as Usual, Will Have
Benefit Of New Improvement.
Several Funerals Held Yesterday Afternoon
Interesting Local Items Up the Valley.

Some little time ago the authorities of
the Town of Lincoln were notified that a
half mile sample road would be built In
this town, under the supervision OF the
State Commissioner of highways. The fact
that this is a prelimary movement on the
part of the State authorities for good pub
lie highways throughout the entire State,
is well understood, and receives the en-
dorsement Of all taxpayers and people who
have occasion to use the highways.
That the work Is to be commenced as
early as possible In the spring is good news,
for 1t speaks well for the progressiveness
of the State authorities. The only import
ant matter connected,with this,.is the fact
that Saylesville, through its representa-
tive in the Town Council, intends to grab
everything In sight. The people OF Sayles-
vile are to be congratulated upon having
man in the Council who is not ashamed
to ask for the whole globe.
Probably, sometime in the dim future,
Lonsdale will have a man In the Council
who will be able to represent the district
In a mannar which will enable the tax
payers to know whether the Town of Lin
coin is larger than Mr.. Lockwood, or Mr..
Lockwood Is larger than the Town of
Lincoln.
