THOSE GOOD ROADS.

Thore is one sure way TO have good
ronds in this section of tho country
That is to build thom.
You can't make them by adopting
long.winded resolutions, as some
overconfident friends scom to think.
Talk is good thing in it's place,
and it sometimes leads to results, but
talk alone never did accomplish any
thing OF prime Importance.
1t is lamentablo fact that wo are
badly in need Of good roads, and it is
likewise lamontable fact that most
people arc contont to do the talking
and let the other fellows do the work
and foot tho bills
But that is poor way to accom-
|-p7lliiSh fp7lliiSh anything.
If the country roads arc poor the
farmer and his wife and his daueh tor
and his son md his hired man como
to town simply whom they arc com.
pollod to.
Thoy often miss a good market for
their products because tho roads are
too poor to get to town. This is n
loss to tho formor and likewise loss
to tho merchant. 1t is also to GER
tain extent loss to every business
and professional man in town.
You ask why?
The reason is Very simple.
What will prevent one farmer
from marketing his produce will liko-
wiso prevent hundreds Of others, and
the money they are thus deprived Of
is kept from circulation in our midst.
Then again, if the roads aro bad
and tho farmer does not feel like
wading through tho mud to got to
town, he often uses tho mails to send
to the city mail order house for what
he wants, while if the roads were
good ho would take q few hours of
and ride into town for them. Is this
plain?
Well, what's tho remedy? youli
Here it is.
Let overj abe. bodied man in the
county take day off each month and
spend 1T on tho roads, under compe.
tent instructors. If necessary, let
every man close up his business for
that day. Take your hoe or your axe
or your spade or any road implement
you may have, and use it that day for
the public good--and your own good
and soc what the result will be.
This may seem TO you like a go,d
deal of "talk," but we are willing tc
back up this "talk" by being the first
to volunteer for such purpose.
Now, what arc you willing to do?
