He who rides over the roads OF this
county during this time of the year
can have some idea how bad they real
~ are. With mud nearly hub deep,
breakers wahed ont, rocks in the way
and dozen other hindrances TO ones
progress, gives a person thought for
serious consideration. Money spent to
improve public highways is always
commendable when it is spent ju.
diciously, but when it is applied in a
shiftless manner it is practically vast
ed. Something must be done at once
TO improve the roads for they have
been getting worse all the time. There
fore, it is hoped that the new court
will speedily take some action along

1t is rather amusing when We think
that our good friend, Colonel Stuart

fered most of his real estate for sale,
on account, as he said, of the iniqgit-
GUS tax laws, and then bought the OLD
National bank building in this city
for which he paid something over s14,.
900, and which is assessed pretty high.
The Colonel is an excellent fellow, but
IL is a caution how quickly he can
change his mind The truth is, he
knows as well as anyone that The tax
laws are not hurting him, but for The
sake of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail,
road company he still keeps crying the
doleful tune about the iniquitous taxa.

ferret out the latter but without avail.
Warning was given that the companies

that some we're discharged that knew

THE NEW YEAR.

The year departs with all his joys,
With al his hopes and fears,
With all his losses and his gains,
With all his smiles and tears,
And in his place q smiling Lad
The brand New Year appears
The ancient figure fades away,
Is swallowed up in gloom,
With solemn tread we bear hin forth
And lay Tim in his tomb,
Then turn 40 greet his heir who comes
With red mouth like a bloom
Unfurl the tags and start a song
To greet what is tocome,
And of the past and all it was
Let every LIP be dumb,
The future beckons with smile,
And hark' the forward drum.
s,down the pathway let ps go
With hope to De our guide,
With roses strewB along the way
The ugly thOrRs to hide,
The New Year comes with sOyous tread
SO greet him in bis pride.

The hateful things are all forgot;

Once more we fare along life's path
And leave to time the rest.

OBITUARY.

A few weeks ago death claimed Ton
its victim one Of the best citizens of
Back Creek valley. Every one in tina
locality knew William Armbrester, and
knew that honesty characterized his
actions. Never was he spoken of only
as being a man whose word was his
bond. Being an old Union soldier his
chief delight was TO hear of me flag,
which he so CALAMITY followed, carry
ing christianity wherever it aoated.
The last remark be made to the writer
was that he had six boys who voted
the republican ticket, and in two year,
hence another would fall into line,
thus showing his love for the party OF
his choice. For 81 years he was an
influential member of the United
Brethren church. and his life cores
ponded with his profession. In his
death the county has lost one of its
best citizens and most earnest work

.AThe Chief Leeatee."

On decidedly startling point Of
quality rests the chief interest in "Tbe
Chief Legatee," a remarkable detective
novel by Anna Katherine Green. What
! the motean actor has done for the
stage. she has accomplished for litera-
ture. And the feat is one never be-
fore attempted by any living author
Tie situat ton briefly, is this: Georg-
ian Hazen. beautiful New York girl,
rich in her own right, is forced by a
starfJiagly unique combination Of cir
! cumstances to leave her husband, Rog-
| er Ransom. on the very day of their
marriage Letter she reappears with a
twin sister, Anitra, whom she had sup
posed dead and whose return to life is
seemingly miraculous Anitra is, in
aspect, the precise double of Georgian.
But there ceases the resemblance. Fer
while Georgian is a cultured, accom-
plished and splendidly educated
woman of the wtrld, Anitra is deaf, I'M
| able to read OF write and apparently
imbecile.
Georgian disappears. Anitra de
iclares her sister has killed herself by
l4eaping from a elf above a certain
high cataract in the neighborhood
But there are numerous details which
lead the searchers 10 doubt this and
to wonder, IN short. whether it is not,
perhaps, Anitra who has killed herself,
and If Georgian under the disguise of
her afflicted sister is Rot masquerad-
ing as .Anitra.
This situation by itself IS SO daring
ly original, and the way III which it is
handled is so unique, as to form suf-
ficient interest for the average mystery
novel But The Chief Legatee' is by
no means an average mystery novel
TIE foregoing is but the beginning of
a series of complications, episode and
powerful elimaxes that endure with ac-
cumulative force up to the final page.
The question of identity is so brilliant
ly handled as to leave the reader al
ways IN dobDt-nOW lncnnlHS 10 one
theory, now TO the other, until he is
fairly hypnot.zed by the power and
charm OF it all. 1t is a book that
seems written expressly for the stage |
so dramatic and striking are its pos
sibiltes. In It's preent Il m, howev-
er, II is more like a stirring chapter OF
flesh and blood than a mere novel |
The Chief Legatee' is the best de-
tective romance In literature. The
man or woman who wilfully misses
reading it is guilty of the rGnkest self
1t is a book that will live.
