ROCK AND ROAU
(From The ReformerD

The voters Of Rock District
might be somewhat interested n
what occurred in reference TO the
County Road from Rock, up Wide
Mouth, to Giatto. The county court
a. the Cme OF the building of the
n. & w. up Wide Mouth creek
from Rock to Giatto appointed n
committee the personnel of which
was a. b. Calfee, T. b. Cook and
j. NJ. Wright, with authority to To-
cate a County Read up said creek
in lieu of the one taken by the
railroad for its right-of-way. This
committee accepted sa d appoint
ment and located the road, and re-
road before occupying the old Coun-
~ Road for railroad purposes. The
route selected by said committee
was a practical route and one that
would have made for the citizens Of
Rock a good roadway, but would
have been expensive for the Norfolk
and Western to build The Nor
folk & Western came to the con
clusion that it might be easier to
'see" the County Court than build
the road on the location selected
by the committee appointed by sail
Court, and tnereupon one Of the
officials of said road interviewed
Davis Thorn. one Of the members
of the County Court. who immedi-
ately called a special sess on of the
County Court. at which session the
committee above named were re-
1ieved of their duties. and We're
notified by the Norfolk & Western s
officials. The Norfolk & Western
then proceeded to build the road
at the point where it now is, by
the consent of the County Court.
and Immediately thereafter Davis
Thorn was found riding upon an
annual pass, something that had
never occurred ia the history of
Mercer County before. The con
sequence is. that the road up Wide
Mouth is almost impossible and
petitions are now being circulated
for the erection of two bridges
where the road crosses Wide Mouth.
which will cost the tax payers OF
District not less than $1,000, and
even then, the road will be not
nearly so good as the road would
have been ON tine route selected by
the committee Aforesaid who were
so unceremoniously disbanded by
the County Court after it had been
seen by some OF The officials Of

COUNTY
INDEBTNESS
CFrOm The ReformerD

The Mercer Republican saws that
the most OF our county indebted
ness was created before any of the
present members of the county
court went on the bench. This is
absolutely untrue. The records of
the county court for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1908, show that
the court issued orders against the
county to the amount of $79,O62,-
II, and these same records show
chat they received from the yarl-
Gus sources OF revenue the sum OF
$44,2-7S3 with which to nay these
orde.s, that is in one year the
present county court spent S34,-
S3i.l3 more money than it receiv-
ed. .ere in one year is more than
one ll!t of the county's indebted
ness incurred by it's county court.
II a man spends more than he
makes, isn't he going into debt?
That is the only true test of the
iin2n .al cond tioA OF a man or an
ms tuition. to compare the income
with the outgo, and then it is easy
to tel whether a debt is being in
cure. or not. For the fiscal year
cndins May 81, 1907, the year
prior to the one above this same
court spent $12,517.36 more money
than 1t received Here in two
years. and the last two years, under
the same county court now on the
bench. was spent by Mercer county
$4725l.65 more money than it re-
ceived to pay it's various obligations
and % carry on the public business.
These are the figures taken from
the records, and not statistics fish
ed "a from private sources by per-
sons paid by the county to furnish
campaign material for candidates
for office. And yet the Mercer Re-
publ an says the present county
court has not been responsible for
the eater part OF this debt. And
&c ma rs this statement in the very
the county debt showing that OF all
unpaid outstanding orders against
the county there are only $1O,7OS.-
45 thar we're issued before 1903
when Davis Thorn went on the
court. leaving the great majority
of unpaid orders those issued since
Davis Thorn went on the court.
Taking this sum issued before 1903
from the total amount OF debt ac-
cordlng 10 Mr.. Hedrick and Nc
Claugherty Of $58,924.82 leaves
$4S.21G.37 of indebtedness incur
red since Davis Thorn went on the
bench. that is over so per cent. Of
the Indebtedness. according TO the
Mercer Republicans own figures,
vas incurred during the administra-
ton of Davis Thorn. And yet the
Mercer Republican says that II
wants 10 call especial attention TO
the fact that most OF Mercer
C0uutys Indebtedness was incurred
before either OF the present mem
beers of the court went on the
bench COf course we will look
over IT'S bad grammar in that
statement as the statement tself
worse than the grammar There
are three members OF the county
court The Republican may regard
one OF them as Kind Of non-en-
uty which one we don't know, but

That in one or the other Of these uses

experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed Of
some Of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
Of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
Of Peruna has reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase Of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact Is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh., They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
It may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy 20 uni

label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.
