Though We ReDent.

Though repent. can any god give back
The dear, lost days might have made so fair,
Turn false and careless to
And let find again what now we lack?
Oh, once, more tread the old time track,
The flowers threw away once more to wear!
Though repent, any god give back
The dear, lost days might have made so fair?
Who repulse a steathy ghosts attack,
Silence a voice that doth the midnight dare,
Make fresh hopes spring from grave sod of de-
spair.
Bet free a tortured soul from memory's rack?

Winters that deform it.

You will soon forget to moan,
"Ah. the cherries weatheri"

Go build houses in it.;
Will it help your loneliness
On the winds to din it2
Raise a hut. however slight,
Weeds and brambles smother,
And to roof and meal invite

Smile till rainbows span it;

Blends with hopes bright river.

OUR MISERABLE ROADS.

The "good roads subject might well be all
important with the peopleof tins county at TINS
season of the year. and especially should the
inadequacy of our present road system impress
itself upon the minds OF those who travel and
haul personal inspection by a representative
of the Telegram this week of certain sections DIS
closes the fact that our roads are practically i'm
passable The defect seems to be for wdnto prop
err drainage and lack of stone, two main essen
tias to the construction andmaintainance OF roads
Miserable attempts have been made to rock roads
with sand stone, which is eroded into mud and
dust in no time The bitches are poorly scraped
out and the few wooden cuverts across the roads
are shallow and narrow and permitted to be filled
and stopped up with leaves and trash. There Is
no road bed and nothing solid to bear up wagon
wheels, which, under pressure, seek footing
toward tar-away China One wears his horses
out, wrecks his wagon, stretches and breaks his
harness and soils his clothes. to get to market
with a few potatoes or few pounds OF butter
and chicken or two and must eat his rye bread
dry and his pound cake without chocolate. Patti
ence ceases to be virtue; he gives up trying and
simply STAYS cooped at home waiting for summed
to come.
The idea strikes one that we may have too
MANY roads more than we are able to manage.
Be that as it nav Certainly the only sensible thing
to do is to make ourselves master Of what we
undertake and not give the roads a lick and
promise Use common sense. Make bitches
wide and deep, capable Of carrying the water off.
Put in permanent culverts and don't use material
to rot out in a year or two Our hills are full of
limestone, the best the earth affords. Use that
without scrmpness. Don't any more sand
stone for there is plenty odirt without making
more.
if there is to be road tax, let's apply it TO
permanent good.

When State is Republican, as it is believed
West Virginia now is, the Legislature should be OF

Hence it is important that every Republican

a Republican Governor may be elected but also
that the legislature may have majority in accord

Lourenzo Marques, Oct. 2o.--Ex-
President Kruger was secretly taken
at five o'clock Friday morning on
board the Dutch crusier Gelderland on
which vessel he is TO sail for Holland.
The reason given for Mr.. Rruger's EN-
barkment Is that he feared the Beers
here would attack him. The feeling
OF the refugees against Mr.. Kruger
for fleeing from the country is very
strong. He left the governors house
in hired carriage, accompanied by
DR.. Haymann, the governor following
in private carriage. The party drove
through the custom house and en-
'barked from the customs pier, instead
of from the passenger jetty. 1t Is

Saturday.
