For Good Roads.

mile trip in the country last week.
When the Herald man asked him OF
the country roads, ne replied tnet
they were in bad condition and in
some places impossible. 1t would be
a good idea when the roads dry up a
bit, il crowd of farmers would get
together and drag the roads with the

that they had used a drag all winter

The country at large has this week
felt the after effects of last weeks dis
turbance at New York and other east
ern cities Prompt imitation of New
York's action in curbing and limiting
the source of these disturbances has,
however, allowed of necessary read
justment to meet changed conditions
with a probable minimum of immedl-
ate friction and without the sacrlnces
found necessary at the Metropolis. The
entire country in fact may be said TO
have gone upon a check or credit basis
pending the passage Of the uneasiness,
which seems to have almost entirely
Gained down. Naturally there mas
been some dislocation of the country S
business, notably in the item of the
domestic exchanges, which have re-
acted on the collecting and forwarding
forces for a time stopping the buylng
of wheat in the Northwest and cotton
at the south, and there has also been
a sensible quieting down of jobbing
trade activities, some reduction OF
forces in railroad Improvement ana
other industries and some effect also
upon retail trade which, however, aloeq
by fine fall weather has given good
account of itself this week Naturally
collections have felt some effect of the
disturbance. --
