A sign of Development.

"As the lines Of competition are being
drawn closer and margins Of profit narrow
er, every element looking to the economi-
cal production and distribution Of the pro-
ducts of the country, and as it has been
thoroughly demonstrated that good roads
are the prime factor in the up-building Of
every section of the country, every citizen
of the south should take a personal inter-
est in this subject. The south needs better
roads, every farm would be benefited there
tages thereof and it is hoped the education
al feature carried on by the National Good
Roads Association, supported by the South
ern Railway Company, will accomplish the
purpose of this movement.
1.-THE south can have good roads If it will,
and the sooner the citizens get together
and work along some well-organized and
practical line these results will be reached
the quicker. There Is nothing that will do
more to increase the value Of virgin lands
and advance the development of the rural
districts than well-constructed public roads.
The improvement of the road system will
have a wonderful effect upon stimulating
the settlement of people on farms, and as
these settlements are being made SO will
the value of the land increase.
Wherever city or town is found pos
sessing well-made roadways leading there
from, you will find the business of that
point is in prosperous condition. There
fore, the citizens OF every town in the
south will be promoting his own interests
IL he gives this movement his moral and
IL necessary, financial support.
1T Is hoped that every state, county
city and town officer will give this sub
ject Of better roads serious consideration
and then take the matter in hand imme-
diately and show his constituents that the
movement for better roads will receive
their utmost consideration and utmost CO.
operation.
''It is universally decided that good roads
are what we want. In order to secure them
we must pull together, working systemati-
cally and on practical lines. This grand
tour. planned by the Southern Railway
Company, is a signal for action. II the
states visited are not alive to this and do
not avail themselves of the opportunity to
secure information rendered by the Good
Roads Special Train" no one viii be at
fault except the citizens OF the states IN
which the exhibits are made"

Hester No, Dec. 16.-An unusual

here is exciting the keenest interest
among medical men. Mrs. Ellenor
Guardhouse suffered for over forty
years with Sciatic Rheumatism so Sc

and she continued till she had taken
eight boxes, and now she declares she
has not an ache or pain left She be-
Iieves that she is completely and per
manently cured and as she has not
used the pills for some months and is
to-day in the best Of health the doctors
who were At first skeptical are amazed.

sideration; but not all brides evinee
such business foresight as the heroine
Of the following story, told by the
Rev. W. F. Sheridan to q writer for
the Chicago Tribune.
The bride was large and heavy, and
the groom small and meek looking.
Everything was regular. After the
ceremony the bride explained her
position.

are mighty hard to get in this part OF
the country, and harder to keep. You

know he quits and goes on to town
or somewhere else. Last spring / had
a first class hand, about as good as
ever expect to get, and just when the
season got right busy he up and quit
me.

The bridegroom had nothing to say

EloMeF Culturn.

Flower culture Is no longer looked
upon as a mere amusement nor is 1t
followed merely for the love of the
beautiful, and florists are becoming
flower farmers who raise large guam
titles Of perfumes. The government Is
encouraging this movement, and the
department Of agriculture calls atten-
ton TO the fact that in the southern
states are found exceptionally favor
able conditions for this profitable in
dustry. California, too, 1t is thought,
could produce the essential oil, or at
tar Of roses on an extensive scale to
great advantage. According to oficial
authority an acre Of ground will pro-
duce 1,50O pounds Of rose petals, from
which five ounces Of the altar may be
distilled, and this quantity is worth on
the market S45 to $50. The rose water
which remains amounts to 800 gallons
70 the acre, which is worth from Is
cents to 81 q gallon. Lavender gives a
net profit OF 500 to the acre. Pure lard

days, and leads a quiet and peaceful

him all the privileges possible uLder

not allowed to carry a loaded gun. He

his time making bead work and other

he makes $1,000 a year. When the old
