The good people of Humphreys
County are standing in their own
light in not having good roads.
We have thematerial and the road
bed; !. ell we need is a little energy
and enterprise to make the roads.
A frst-class road will double the
value of the property through
which it runs, and will enable the
farmer to haul twice as many
pounds and with more ease and
comfort to his team thad he can
now haul. The Legislature can
not make roads, and it is useless
to look to that body for relief. f.

THE FETCH OF PARTY.

Some Democratic newspapers
are alarmed at the independent
spirit that is being developed all
over the country and are wlgor-
ously applying the party lash,
says the Raris-Post Intelligencer.
The best way to keep down this
spirit of independence is to give
the members of the party good
mon to vote for. Governor Folk
of Missouri struck keynote when
he said:
"They are in no humor to eacri-
ice principle to mere party sue
cess, or to reward party workers
who misuse the party name for
their own gain.
"The fetch of party is weaker
in this country today than it has
been at any time since the Mexi-
can war set the antislavery agita-
ton afame. Every voter prefers
his own party, but recent elections
show that the number is growing
larger of those who will not sup
port the party unless, with clean
hands, it offers what they want. :"

THE STATE FAIR.

The agricultural exhibits, en-
0racing farm and garden products,

old Volunteer State.
Besides hundreds Of individual
exhibits, there will be county ex-
hibits in competition for the hand

counties making the best displays.

THE FIRST KISS.

The greatest surprise to girl
who gets kissed the FIRST time is
that there is no taste to it.-Poca-
hontas { Ark. Times.
No taste to it? Well, by the hen
feathers on Cupid's dart, but the
Times man must be color blind in
the palate. They tell us those
who have tried that it tastes
like the double distilled essence of
honey spread thick on a pieceof
pumpkin pie. Away back in the
dim and joyful years ago, when we
lost all our teeth and our cinch on
the beauty prize, the prettiest girl
in all tue world told us with her
own eyes that it felt like covey of
quails flying out of each ear ended
with a sensation like flock of an
gels pouring molasses down ones
back. No taste to the first kiss?

with a great dead of Success According
10 the census there are about 200 blind
persons in Delaware but IL is thought
that this does not near cover the number.
Prof. II. u. Allen, principal OF the
Pennsylvania Institution for the In
struction of the Blind at Overbrook, who
is one of the first authorities on the sub
iect in the country was present and made
an address. Liberio DelhnO, who is a
teacher at the Pennsylvania institution
and who is totally blind, was also present
and made an address. Mr. Deliino is
also the field agent for the institution
aud travels throughout Pennsylvania an.
quiring into the condition OF the blind
for the purpose of learning what Is the
best thing 10 do for them.
The two speakers told Of the work
that is being done in Philadelphia and
suggested how it could be started here
One OF the most important steps thoy
pointed out is TO hunt out the children
who are blind, and teach them some
thing to do. so that they will not con
tinuously Worry over their aiiliction
They suggested that after it is learned
who the blind are and where they live,
they be visited and in that way learn
what would be the most suitable work TO
start them at.
Reginald C. Van Trump, who is taking
a great interest in this work, was present
and offered a number Of suggestions.
AT the solicitation of Mr. Van Trump, a
number Of blind persons in this city have
already been visited by Mr.. Delhno, who
has started them on various lines iaWorS
which will not only bring in a small
revenue but will also be something to
occupy their minds.
