Our Roads Again.

MIR. EDrToR:-An ever prolific subject
of discussion is the road question. No
wonder. IL is one which concerns tho
farmers and the country people moro
than any other. The tariff, currency
and all others pale into insigniiicance
compared with the road problem. IL is
not at all complimentary to Tazewell to
have 1t said, and justly, too, that We
have about the worst roads to be found.
The truth stares us in tho face-our
roads outside of the town limits are
simply awful. BY March LIST, next, it
will be almost impossible for us to get
to town on horseback, much less with q
loaded wagon. In many sections OF the
country, notably in Thompson Valley,
the roads are mere lanes-not wide
enough for two teams to pass each
other. or to allow any pulling to ono
side or the other TO shun mud holes.
Nothing but a stright pull through mar
row lanes in mud up to the hub. What
can be doneY 1t seems that this is
more vexing problem than any with
which our law-makers have to deal.
want to call attention to q sug-
gestion which, believe, was first made
through the columns of your paper
some time last year, which seems to be
reasonable 1t is this: Let each farmer
be compelled to keep up the roads in
front of his own farm. At first glance
this may seem to be inequitable, but the
more think about it, the more plausi-
bic it becomes. A law could be 80
framed, embodying this feature, as to
work no hardship at at all. After the
roads are once put in good condition, it
will be an easy matter to keep them
up.
Why should not the farmers keep up
their own roads?
I hope to hear some expression of
opinion on this suggestion. may have
something more to say on the subject.
Yours,
~ SUBSCRIBER.

A Half Century Ago.

Just fifty one years ago next January
or therabouts, woman with eight chill
dren. the youngest an infant in arms,
landed in New York from Eng land.
The family were on their way to join
the husband and father, who had come
across more than year before, and
who had been working in Tazewell,
In Burke's Garden. The mother and
her children landed in Richmond where
one child-next to the baby-died, and
was buried by strange but kind hands.
From Richmond they came to Lynch
burg via the old James River Canal, and
from Lynchburg to Tazewell in a wagon
drawn by six horses-one of the many
regular teams that, in those days, made
regular trips from this section to
Lynchburg loaded with produce and
returned loaded with goods.
When the family reached Tazewell
they took quarters at the hotel THE

son, the father of our townsman, Col.

were Mr.. and Mrs. Bourne, the father
and mother of Messrs. Thos. M. Felix
and s. S. Bourne, the two former now
living on Clear Fork. on the farm origi.
nally purchased by their father.
When Mr.. Bourne came toAmerica a.

for some time as a hand on different
farms. But by economy and industry
he accumulated nice estate, which il
