OUR ROADS.

The condition of our roads is bad,
but just imagine what they would
have been had they not been so well
worked during the last year or two.
AS it is they are yet passable, but
under other circumstances we are
safe in saying there would have been
portions over which no living crea-
ture could have dragged vehicle.
For example we may cite the recently
worked road at Kilmarnock, those
parts near Gunther's gate and Christ
Church hill. This hill of many dis
asters is to-day a thing of beauty
and we hope it may remain a JOY
forever. A horse with vehicle may
trot up or down it with little in
convenience, whereas few years ago
during weather similar to this no
one would nave ventured over 1t
who desired to reach home with
their vehicle. And all because an
hundred dollars was judiciously ex-
pended in shells upon it. The
heaviest tax payers of our commu-
nifty are seldom found among the OBJ
iectors to expenditures for good
roads. The majority of objectors is
composed chiefly of those who pay
little or no taxes or are political
demagogues. The farmer has learned
to agree with that eminent writer
who said that a mile of good road
was OF more interest and benefit to
him than the subject of politics.

FENCE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL

FENCE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL
The Virginia Supreme Court last
week handed down decision which
upholds the constitutionality of the
general fence law of this State.
This is the first time for many wears
that the Supreme Court has upheld
our rickety fence laws, and it is in
direct opposition to previous court
decisions on this subject. AS
best we can sum 1T up the deci-
sion is to the effect that lawful. or
five-foot fence, is necessary to sustain
an action for trespass for depreda-
ton of the stock of another, except
where they are maliciously driven
upon another's unenclosed lands.
or where property lines have been
declared lawful boundaries by the
