Good Streets and Highways.

The town which goes in for good
streets and good highways is going TO
draw and hold the biggest share Of the
farmer trade. When you find the main
street Of a town cut up and full Of mud
holes, you may look for the county high
ways TO be almost impassablo. One
looking for place to establish busI-
ness and make home Is Influenced by
these things and justly so. Three years
ago North Carolina town spent
$4,000 to macadamize two miles Of
Streets and the county in which IL was
situated spent 1875, 900 to improve fifteen
miles Of highways, and the result has
been an increase OF trade amounting TO
35 per cent. This increase has been
drawn from nearby towns which refused
TO spend dollar on their streets.--Ex.
