THE country people who now live
away from the pixies, wish they
didn't. Those who failed to have
their roads worked last summer and
fall are now sorry. But the trouble
is that as the roads dry, their re-
grets will likewise fade away; and
when time comes again the roads
will go unworked again. There
ought not to be any dirt roads in this
county. With some assistance from
the county treasury, every neigh
borhood ought to be required to give
rock foundation to their road.
Have fewer roads il necessary, and
better ones. 1t is less wearing on
stock or the vehicle, and takes less
time to travel ten miles over a good
road than five over a poor one. And
some of the roads of the county at
present cannot be travelled at all.

COLUMBIA INSTITUTE.

Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, Rev. Baker Lee was visi.
ted last Sunday morning by the ves-
trymen of St. Peters and urged not
to endanger his health in his conva-
lescence by preaching as be had in
tended. This act of loving care and
unselfihness on the part of the
church resulted in a rare opportu-
nifty for the Institute, as Mr.. Lee
preached to the school in the Study
Hall one of his characteristic SER
mons, which are ever spiritual
tonic to those who have ears to hear.
He administered the Holy Commu-
Mon, and at the close of the uplift-
ing sermon and service, both teach
ers and pupils felt they had received
new courage and increased strength
to begin the second term, in spite of
the gloom that has overshadowed
them on account of the withdrawal
of Mrs. Shoup, who, it is needless to
say, was universally beloved and
will be permanently missed and by
no one more than by Miss Bryant,
upon whom the principalship has
fallen.

increased prosperity and happiness
by consolidation of her interesting
school with the Institute. In addi-
ton TO teaching, Miss Baird, whose
efficiency is beyond question, has
also assumed the important office of
treasurer and book-keeper.
The closing examinations of The
first term show an advance in schol-
arship. Very creditable work has
been done by the kindergarten.
On Saturday evening Feb. 4, Mr..
ShOur will read by request a lecture
on THE Bacon Shakespeare COntro-
versy," written some years ago by
DR.. ShOup and said by scholars who
are familiar with the discussion to
be the best presentation of the Ba-
con claim to authorship they have
ever heard given. The public are
| cordially invited to attend the lee
ture in the Institute Study Hall
Saturday evening. Students of
Shakespeare will find it profitable
and the intellectually curious will
be interested.

A NEW STAR APPEARS.
Hon. John j. Lentz Electrifies the De-
mOcracy of the Country.

Hon. John j. LentZ Electrifies the De-
mocracy of the Country.
A new star has arisen in the polit-
ical armament for the guidance Of
true democracy. The times which
try mems souls always beget leaders
great enough to grappIe with them.
1t has been so in every crisis of the
worlds history, and history is re-
peating itself again before our eyes
when great nations liberties are
trembling in the balance.
And so, in the stress and peril Of
the hour, there comes up from Ohio
the Presidents own State and the
pocket. borough of Imperator Hanna
"a voice bringing glad tidings of
liberty and freedom to the children
of men. Out of the ruck and mire of
Ohio politics comes Hon. John j.
LentZ. Representative from the 18th
tColumbus) District, with words OF
living truth and deeds to back tn EN-.
For some time past Mr.. Lentz has
been steadily growing in the hearts
of his constituents and the respect
of his colleagues; he has been a man
among men in times which tried
men out, and his stature as a states
man has increased and waXed great
er with every difficulty he has faced
and every public problem he has
solved. He has been right on every
position of public policy he has as
sumed during his public life.
During the year just past John j.
Lentz has shown the stern stuff of
which he is made. During all the
troublous and dangerous times pre-
ceeding and during the war, he stood
steadfast as the Rock of Ages for the
| liberties of the people, the rights of
humanity and the brotherhood of
man. The people loved him and the
plutocrats feared him. And so it
was that all the great power of the
| Hanna conspiracy was put forth to
defeat him. A regiment of gallant
Ohio lads from his district were
brought back from Porto Rico before
| their time at enormous expense and
paraded before the President in this
| city and then sent home to vote
against him. All in vain. He was
triumphantly reelected by an i'll
creased majority by his fellow citi-
zen, who rightly believed that by
so doing they could best vindicate
their own manhood and citizenship.
And so, when the time was ripe,
this leader of the people and ex-
FOUNDER of the doctrine made him
self known by one of the greatest ut
terances in the history of American
politics. Lentz's speeches at the
Jackson Day banquets at Cincinnati
and Chicago were the utteTaDces OF
a master mind. il was the voice oi
authority pointing the way to liberty
aud righteousness. IL has electrified
the Democracy Of the whole country
and set men thinking as few orations
mvs done since the inspired word.

THE HERALD begs to offer a few
words merely as a reminder. We
all sympathize with on" friends who
suffered loss by the recent fire, and
many of us can help them. How?
Simply by paying them promptly
what we owe them. Whether our
accounts are large are small, pay
them! Don't wait until it suits us
to come to town to do it. Send a
check now, or come for that espe-
cial purpose. If we hav'nt the
money let's sell something-hay,
corn or wheat-whether the price
suits us or not-and get it. 1t is not
fair to keep these meE waiting for
price to rise that we may be bene-
fitted. Their money is due and they
need it. If we cannot get it any
other way, let's borrow it. Better
pay a little interest and owe some
body who is able and willing to
wait, than to impose Ola those who
are not able to carry us. Lets lido
unto others as we would have Others
do unto us"
