Get Ready For Next Year.

The following statement has been
issued by the State Highway Commits
sion:
During the last few weeks the com
mission has written to the county com
missioners throughout the State. calling
their attention to the provisions of the
State road law regarding the manner
and time of filing applications for State
aid. Ii is very desirable to have the APP
plications well in hand. the necessary
surveys made, and everything in readi-
ness so that construction can be COM
menced early in the spring. The ut
most advantage can then be taken of
the good weather for road building
The law requires that all applica-
tions shall be filed before March in
any year for aid during that year
The work will be greatly facilitated by
having these applications in the hands
of the Highway Division at as early "A
date rs possible. II is also well to
make application for aid on more than
one road. so that if il is subsequently
found to be desirable the county can
make later choice of the road to be
improved first.
1T should be borne in mind that the
filing of the application does not neces-
sarily bind the county to go on with the
work. and there is no expense attached
until after the survey has been made.
The successive steps of surveying. adj
vertising for bids. and executing con-
tract for the proposed work are all dis
cretionary with the county boards. 1t
will be readily seen that the more time
which is available for making surveys,
plans and estimates. as well as for adj
vertising and securing advantageous
bids. the more effectively and economi-
cally can the work be done. 1t is hoped
therefore that our citizens will show
their progressiveness and their interest
in good roads by filing their applications
at the earliest possible moment.
while the highway improvement
during the year just closing has been
eminently successful and satisfactory.
all things considered. still better and
more satisfactory results might have
been secured had actual construction
begun at an earlier date in 1905 than it
did. 1t is desirable that much larger
amount of Improvement be pushed to
completion during 1906. and to this end
applications for State aid should be filed
in season for all arrangements to be
completed during the winter for begin
ming actual construction by May |, at
the latest.

Letter to Paul Jones, Snow Hill. Md.

Dear Sir: We suspect you'll like the
tale, how a woman beat two hardware
dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best TO get those men to
sell Devoe lead-and-zinc in that bright
town; and failed. Reluctontly took Mrs.
f. X. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than $l.25 agallon. Mrs Bowman
can. She has sold about all the paint,
that has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe: has sold our artists
materials. Had some sense and force,
besides; she easily learned that cheap
is dear in paint. and told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought gallon Devoe
for rooms that had always taken gallon
of other paint: had half left.
Mr.. +. II. Hiler, jeweler. painted De-
voc. and says goes further no parti-
culars.
Mr.. John Hanna. grocer, thought il
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half Of his paint, and said
ii was the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal salts
faction. So much for a cneap-paint
town with bright woman in it.
Yours truly

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

To-day we commence the 3Sth vol
ume of the MESSENGER. and enter upon
the Goth year Of the present manage
ment. In the nineteen years we have
been running the MESSENGER it has not
missed an issue, coming out regularly
every Saturday all these years. Even
when the frey flames wiped out our
office. when the business portion OF
Snow Hill was laid in ashes twelve
years ago.. then we fastened To secure
a new plant and at the same time ar
ranged for the printing of the week s
issue. For this enterprising spirit and
courageous action the editors were
applauded by the press of the State.
When we took the MESSENGER it was
printed on an antiquated hand-press.
and the type was ready for the junk
shop. The paper was a seven-column
folio, patent outside.
The first issue we got out was printed
at home. and year later the first
cylinder press ever brought to Worces-
ter County was installed in the MEssEN-
GER office. 1t did many years of good
service until the fire warped and twisted
its frame beyond usefulness. and an
other of the same family took its place
with our new outfit. 1t. too. did valiant
service, until it was not considered
swift enough to keep pace with the
growth of the peoples paper and it was
abandoned for more modern machine
upon which the MESSENGER is now
printed.
Every month of the year finds us
adding something new to keep the me-
chanical department up to the require
ments of our patrons and enable us to
give them better paper and better
printing. until now we have as complete
plant as you will find in any small
city or town. We do the very finest
printing. and our patronage comes from
many states. So much for the me-
chanical advancement.
During the years we have been run
ming the MESSENGER. we have studied
hard how to make it one of the very
best county papers to be found any
where. That we have succeeded. we
have every reason to believe. as our
subscription list and advertising patron
age is growing all the time.
We are not vain or egotistical enough
to believe that we alone are responsible
for the success of the paper. but we
acknowledge that we owe much of its
success to the MESSENGER host of
friends and admirers, who believe in
standing by good thing and who have
found out that the good thing can and
will reciprocate.
We start the New Year with good
will for everyone. We thank our friends
and patrons for their generous support
and wish each and all Happy New
Year.

Farmers Enjoy Prosperity.

Ideal winter weather has permitted
farmers very generally to complete their
years work. Some few have not yet
been able to finish. largely because of
the great scarcity Of farm labor. and
they have been compelled to perform
most of the seasons work themselves.
Their crops have been very good, with
large yields of corn and fodder. necessi-
tating increased time and the expend-
ture of much additional labor to take
care of the years return. The condi-
ton of the average farmer in this coun-
~ is good as compared with few years
back. BY the New Year most of the
years crop will have been housed, and
the farmer can enjoy much needed
rest.
