ROADS AND MARKETS.

A highly important feature of the
highways question, says the New YORK
Tribune, is the effect good or bad ROADS
have upon the local markets and their
sources of supply. In all the cities
and large towns of the state there IS
demand for farm products and for the
bulkier and heavier products, such as
hay and straw and grain.
In many cases the surrounding coun,
try is quite capable of supplying tha'
demand ; in all cases it should do SO
as far as possible in most cases II
does not. Instead, their supplies are
brought in by rail or canal from Tar
away, perhaps from other states, while
at the same time, within a few miles
of the market thus supplied, are farms
that have been abandoned as not worth
working, and others whose owners are
in chronic discomfort and despair at
the apparent impossibility of getting
profitable prices for their crops. The
big farms of the west, they say, mo
nopolize the markets, and so farming
here no longer pays.
Now, one prime secret ofthe trouble
lies in the bad roads, which keeps the
producer and the consumer apart, by
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce
to market. The farmer a thousand
miles away can get his crops to mar.
ket by rail or canal more easily and
more cheaply than the farmer ten
miles away can haul his in over roads

OLD-TIME HOME REMEDIES.

Every young married woman who
is going to set up home for herself
and assume the responsibility of moth
er, wife and housekeeper, should learn
some of the simple remedies for re-
lieving pain, and especially if they
live in the country, far away from 4

plorable to be taken ill in a home
where no thought is given TO sudden

salt water and borax. 1t relieves q

irritative throat by gargling every hal
hour, or if you have an ulcer or white
patch in the throat, apply dry boraS
until it disappears. 1t is expedient in
all throat irritations and acts like q
charm. 1t is so cheap and harmless to
have in the house that the sooner one
becomes accustomed to using it the
better, for it is invaluable, not only as
a medicine, but as purifier and dis

A young wife can save many doc

were very helpful in such times. They
believed in fortifying themselves with
simple medicines, and they often had
20 or 80 slaves to look after, beside
their own families, yet they were con-
scientious, clear-headed, and never let

FARMERS GIRLS.
The Important Part They Take In the
Management of the Place.

The Important Part They Take In the
Management of the Place.
There are many farmers throughout
the country who are sufficiently liberal
to the boys, but who think that girls
wants should be supplied as they sug.
gest themselves, and with no regard
for individual preference, says the
Philadelphia Times. After harvest,
the son, who has driven the reaper. OF
helped at thrsshing, has his share ol
the profits to control and do with as
he pleases. Certain of the stock have
been given him-a pig, a calf or colt
which he will eventually sell and put
the proceeds in his pocket. The farm
offers all sorts of opportunities for
earnings great or small, to which bis
right is never questioned. By and by
he drives his own horse, joins a club
buys books and goes to college-a right
which he has earned and to which he
is fairly entitled.
With the girl it is usually very differ
ent. 1t never occurs to anyone that
she, too, would enjoy small income
which she could count upon as her
very own, and invest as she saw h'
without restraint or objection. The
butter and eggs are sometimes her es'
pecial commodity, and from their sales
she has a limited supply of pocket
money. But it is extremely limited
and frequently very uncertain.
Yet her labor in the home, "aboui
the place" has done as much toward
establishing the family prosperity as
the labor of her brother. She is uE

er is in bed asleep, or away visiting
the neighbors. She, too, has all al

those seasons when the work upon the
farm is especially heavy, but she rare
iy receives any reward for the extra
service required of her. 1t is Il mani
fest injustice. A good many overcare

plea that girls have no Judgment il

that are so hilly and rough and miry
that half ton is heavy load for a
horse to draw at loose footpace. 1t
is not true that farms in the east are
no longer productive, nor that the
eastern market no longer offers fair
prices.
1t is that the roads between the
farms and the markets are so bad as
to make shipments Improbable. Good
roads throughout the farming region
adjacent to the cities and towns would
do more than anything else TO restore
prosperity to the farmers, enabling
them to get their goods to best posi-
BILE market easily, promptly and
cheaply. Good roads would mean
good farms, good markets, good prices
and good times for all concerned.

COMMENCE TODAY AND KEEP AT 1T.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, it Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprislng and reliable newspapers In
the state it is natural, therefore, that THE
YORkVILIE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. of
the families In the county desire II as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One, of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the inconven.
ience of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecially desirable for us, just ut this time, to
secure the services Of large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price of O single subscription one year
Is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the indivi dual
who does not give his name to clubmaker |;
but sends it direct to this Office. In clubs,
however. the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he Is expected to pay us. Now to our
prOpOSitlOnS:

The same as above except that II the paper
is COMMENCED NOW, IT WILL BE SENT
UNTIL JANUARY /, 1899, without any
charge for that portion Of the time between
now and January /, 1897. 1t Is understood,
however, that II the subscriber fails to pay
the clubmaker the subscription price, he will
be due him for all papers that he may have
received.
By new subscribers, we mean those whose
names were not on OUR BOOKS ON OCTO-
BER LIT, 1897, except we will not count as
new subscribers, cases where the subscription
may have been changed from the name Of one
member Of family to another. This Is in

TO You !

THEY were passing the inevitable sub
i scription paper for the benefit of the
family of the ''good fellow" says The
Montreal Underwater, who had sudden
ly died. Said one business man: II
give this little for the relief of their imnfe'
diate wants, and I give under protest.
Nothing will give to create fund for
the relief of the dead mans family, how
ever. You ask why? reply because in
these enlightened days of life insurance
no man has right or excuse for leaving
a destitute family. He has no moral, and
he should have no legal right, to create a
family unless he has and will agree to
keep a good-sized. policy on his life. II
uninsurable, he should not be allowed to
marry. I knew G. (the deceased) well.
He had good income and could have
been we'll insured. Now, why should
or any other man be expected to, con-
tribute out of our savings to pay G.'s
debts ?" Why should 1 pay for his sell
fishness, or his carelessness or extrava:
gance? The idea that anybody should
put premium on seltishness is wrong
idea, and these collections for destitute
families are responsible for much I'M
providence and selfish neglect of life in
surance. Men should be impressed with
"a knowledge of their duty to save and
to insure by the entire absence OF any
makeshift in the form of a post mOrtem
collection. Let us be just as well as gen.
erouS."
