 The month of Janpary-just passed-has been one of more than usual interest 10 us. It has shown us that our ps5p'e are get ting on in the world wei. for more than 100 of them have called and paid up their subscriptions, and many have subscribed who were not subscribers heretofore. We appreciate these fayors and cer- tainly wish them a prosperous year.
 i Ma EDITOR With many thanks 10 my former patrons, per mt me to say to your readers that have fer sale, at reasonable ! prices, d fine lot of Ever-bearing mulberry and EIberta peach trees, with other approved varieties, from the earliest to the latest i: Also grape vines, apricot, cherry, keitfer pear and Japan plum trees. 1t A. ]. WILSON.
 Notwithstanding the fact that some people here think the town of Monticello is full grown and las everything that 1t needs. We fail to see it in that light. and un- til we are convinced of our error, will continue to advocate such im- i provcments as we think necessary even at the risk of being censured i by those who do not agree with Us. l While we know that 1t is good town and has many useful institu- tions and numerous enterprises, we are not willing to concede that the wheels should be locked or barbed-wire fence be placed around l the town.
 It may be, and unquestionably is, a good deal of trouble to work the roads, but one thing Is appar. ent and that is the roads will have to be worked or the people stop travelling them. There are roads in Drew county now that are dangerous for crow to attempt to fly over, much less for wagon and team to venture on them. At this season of the year roads can not be kept in the best condition, but there is no reason why they should remain as they are. Let the oyerseers look after their roads more closely. The travelling pulp lie have some rights and there is law to protect 1t in them.
