CONDITION OF THE ROADS.
A Correspondent Directs Attention to
the State of the Highways.

There is no complaint, as far as |
know, among property owners in Gar
rett county over the route selected for
the road now being constructed under
State management and control, but
there is much feeling on the part of
many taxpayers in and about Oakland
over the condition of the roads leading
into the county seat.
On a recent occasion | drove from
Deer Park to Oakland and the ruts and
holes gave me food for thought, and |
feel it a duty to call the attention OF
the authorities, thus publicly, to the
present conditions. At one part of the
road there seemed to be a ditch across
the roadway, which gave me such jolt
that I thought the vehicle would col
lapse on the spot. If this ditch Is the
work Of the gas company. it is the duty
of our County Commissioners to compel
that company to at once put the road in
condition.
Every merchant in Oakland is inter-
ested in the condition of the roads lead
ing into the town, and all should stand
together to compel the proper per
Torrance OF the officials
One Of the best methods of com
batting the work of the out of town
dealer, with his illustrated catalogue, is
to see that the roads leading into Oak
land are in such fine condition that it
will be a pleasure for the farmer and
his family to drive into town, do their
shopping, and spend their money at
home, and if this state Of affairs exists
the home trade will increase and every
body will be benefited.
A very bad stretch of road existed on
one of the roads leading into the town
of Deer Park. | submitted the matter
to its progressive mayor, Mir. William
/ Hennen, and he at once set to work to
place it in the best possible condition.
Mr.. Hennen superintended the work
himself, gave his time without cost to
the corporation, and with broken stone
and cinders grand good piece Of road
was constructed with the expenditure
OF very little money. | invite the
county authorities to inspect it, and see
just what can be done with a little
effort. If the authorities will but use
stone that can be picked Up along the
road without any cost to speak of, and
fill up the bad places, it will help until
something better can be devised.
The roads leading into Oakland today
are a positive disgrace. can safely
praise everything in letters to out of
town papers and to our home papers
concerning Garrett county, but when it
comes to speaking OF the fine drives in
and about Oakland, | strike snag that
cannot be removed.
/ | have an abiding faith in Garrett
county. We do not fully appreciate
I the wealth within its borders, but one
of the first things to do is TO see that
the roads leading into its county seat
are roads that can be used without fear
! of breaking down IN transit.

Another Good Deed.

Two weeks ago the Journal told Of an
accomplishment by Col. George A..
Pearre, Congressman, for Mrs. Jan&
Fazenbaker, widow of Union soldier
how for years she had wrought through
various agencies to obtain notice Of her
claim. At last someone suggested an
appeal directly to the Congressman. At
once an inspector was sent; her claim
was heard favorable report was made
and IN a few weeks she was placed
above want
Much of the same story is true of
Henry knepp, an aged eX-soldier living
in Garrett not far from this place. Mr..
Knepp came in this week and asked the
Journal TO make similar acknowled-
ment for him. He, too, had failed, but
he struck the right streak at last, and
one day last weeks weeks after he saw
Col. Pearre, he received 1881 back paw
at So month to September LIST, this
year, and an allowance of IS a month
thenceforward. Hence, Mr. Knepp
feels like new man. Mr.. Knepp was
a member of the 3rd Maryland Regi-
ment. P. H. B.
The Journal does not make these re-
ports as partisan of Col Pearre, for
as such 1t befriends no man. but where
credit is due credit must be given!-

Court House Fight.

Preston county is now entering into
a court house fight. Just recently the
county court decided to build a new
court house. The old one is at King
wood in the western part of the county,
but the people of Terra Alta, which is
In the eastern part, think that the new
building should be erected in their town
and that henceforth Terra Alta should
be, 1he seac0f government for Preston
codflty. Petitions are being circulated
asking that the question of location be
submitted to a popular vote, and already
a majority of the voters of the county
have signed Terra Alta is offering
strong inducements, free site being
not the least. 1t is very evident that
the place of location will be fought for
very bitterly by both the Kingwood and
the Terra Alta factions.
