A Few Words
to Our Subscribers

Order 9o7 Of the fbofice department, pro-
ceeds upon the theory that only paid-in-advance
subscribers entitle neWspaper to second.class mail
rates However, the ora@ gives weekly papers
year in which to secure rSNswals but il the subscrip
ton is not renewed withihthat period the paper is
denied the second class matt rates. While we doubt
the necessity Of such ruling, and Believe il will
work hardship to both The subscriber and pub
Usher, yet the Reflector desires to be within the
law For this reason we ask all our subscribers a
year in arrears-or near that time-promptly to re-
nit the amount due, and If convenient, year in adj
vance. The department gives us until April to Sc
cure the payment This will be small matter for
most Of our subscribers, and will save as much trou-
Bile in squarng ourselves with Uncle Sans postof6ce
Remit By personal checks draft or money order.
We trust that the Old Home Paper will continue to
be welcome visitor in your home, and that the
mutual good feeling Of paper and patron will not be
disturbed by the order Of this PQstoce department.

Judge during court. That this is

as witness yesterday refused to aP-

Moore sent the sheriff after her, and
when she appeared he sentenced her
to confinement in the county jail for
twelve hours.
There has been some delay during

Of wit .esses being late when they

make it all right again and emphasize

Dragging the Roads,
Is 1t the Best Way?

This paper has received a severe
jolt in its efforts to promote the good
roads proposition. A letter comes to
US from a prominent farmer Of East
Dickinson demanding that we stop
his paper Immediately and at once
and be adds that he is tired OF road
ing articles on dragging the roads.
This, too, right on top Of the earnest
belief that we were doing the farmers
OF the county a service by telling
what the townships which are making
good roads are doing.
OF course, II the man prefers
muddy. pool-invested highway, with
rocks and rough places scattered pro-
miscouSly up and down, that is exact
ly the kind OF q road he would like;
but II be prefers reasonably smooth
track upon which to run his buggy,
be ought to be willing to do the best
he can to help along the cause of
good roads.
Nobody pretends that dragging a
road will make it perfect. The only
way to make perfect roads in Dickin-
son county is to pave them or macads-
mize them. Both Of these methods
are out Of the question because Of the
immense expense. 1t has been uis-
covered by those who have studied

thoughts to obtain respectful
consideration. Whether or not we
agree with sincere writer's, of this
branch, we perceive degree Of
sincerity which make their writ
ings valuable and cause even tho
we hold other views us to admire
their sincerity.
In the foregoing branches arti-
foes are employed. Rhetoric, elo-
quence, exaggrration, citations,
quotations and arrangement of
words all to perform some desired
effect Of the writer. These arti-
fees are easily detected by readers
in general and writer's in particular.
In American literature fiction is
the medium thru which authors
portray characteristics of human
beings, regale us with pastime read
ing, aud still irnplant great truths
in readers mind. Hawthorn's
"Scarlet Letter." Hugo's Lies
Miserables," Reade's "Never Too
Late to Mend" Maxwell Gray's
"Silenoe of Dean Maitland" are
works of fiction containing morals
which are guide-posts to human
conduct. In fact, the tendency Of
fiction is toward a moral better
ment of mankind; and person
prefers to learn life's ups and downs
from fiction instead of having
peers pose as his betters. Thus
the art of writing has been utilized
10 PROFOUND the serious questions
and later, AS today, utilized for the
same object in forms of fiction.
In a short sketch of this nature
one must abridge and refrain from
mentioning famous writings, etc.;
yet, it is thru, at least, samples of
the worlds literature that an as
spring writer must literally wade
to attain knowledge that leads to
literary success. Thereby one at
tains an understanding of the power
of words which enables one to ex-
press ones own ideas tersely, pre-
cisely and dramatically.
