WHAT GOOD
ROADS MEAN.

The question Of good roads
seems to be taking its proper
position among the people OF
the State of Virginia and the
country at large. There is not
a more important question than
this. Good roads not only tend
to add to the pleasure of those
who travel upon them, saving
expenses for repairs of vehicles
and jolts of the body, but they
greatly enhance the value of the
property through which they
run. II has been absolutely de-
monstrated that property values
always increased where there
are good roads. This is but
natural, because a good road
lessons materially the time be-
tween the farm and market
