WASHINGTON COUNTY is
FOR GOOD ROADS CAUSE

Jonesboro, August 9.-The Washing
ton county court, at its special called
session, voted to pledge the support OF
this county to build the link of the
Bristol Memphis highway through
this county. This action was followed
by an enthusiastic demonstration in
the court house, and the general rejoic-
ing soon spread throughout the entire
town and county. Men stood on
benches and desks and waved hats
coats and handkerchiefs, and yelled
themselves hoarse in celebration of
this victory for good roads, so long and
so hard fought for in this county.
The evolution of good roads sentiment
in this county has been slow. One
proposition submitted to the people in
1908 received the support of only three
voting precincts, Fall Branch, Jones'
boro and Johnson City. At the recent
July term of the county court, a
proposition to build the proposed link
in the state highway through the
county was voted down by the decisive
vote of five to thirty. A supplemental
vote on the proposition to build the
road through johnson City and Jones
boro stood ten for to twenty-fi five against,
which perhaps better represents the
sentiment of the conrt one month ago.
When people from all sectious of the
county assembled here Monday and
the advocates Of the road felt the public
pulse, everything looked blue but the
skies. The most enthusiastic advocates
of the road despaired of its receiving
the sanction of the court, nevertheless
a large crowd gathered into the court
house and watched, with interest, the
final struggle.

STEAD OF TWIN CITIES.

"A great many complaints have been
heard about the severity Of these
storms we have been having recently"
said well known Fargo business man
to a Forum representative yesterday
afternoon. I'm reality, while they may
mean some inconvenience to the farmer
just now during the harvest season and
may delay his harvesting, they are do
ing the city merchants great deal OF
good.
"The majority of the complaints, s.
he continued, Il have heard, have been
from the city people. If they only
stopped to appreciate that these rains
may impede the farmer at his work.
which is unfortunate, but they bring
him into the city for temporary visits
and little purchases which otherwise
might be deferred until a big trip is
taken to the twin cities in the fall or
about the time of the state fair.
Therefore II all business men would
look at 1t in the light that its an i'll
wind, etc. l think there would be less
complaint heard from Fargo business
men. The farmer admits he needs the
rain, and needs 1t badly, but that he
would just as soon have transferred
the time Of having 1t to about six weeks
ago. But he is glad to see it come now
than not to see it come at all, so If he
doesn't complain to any great extent,
there surely should be no reason why
the business man should have any
cause to sadly lament, when 1t really
means business in his pocket which
might otherwise go to the twin city
merchants later on in the season.
IF the farmers come into town dur
ing these frequent stormy seasons, they
will spend more with us on their fire.
quent Fargo visits than with the Min
neapolis merchants, If the weather was
perfect and they should wait until
the season is over and then take a
bigger trip to the twin cities and the
Minnesota state fair. So the Fargo
merchants have no cause for complaint
so far as / can see"
