be done for the roads if every citi-
zen would make the roads good
about his own premises? There
are places in Sharp county (and we
can take you to some OF them and
not be gone from home all day
either) where the public road run
ming right in front Of homes and
barns and good farms are abso-
lutely almost impossible. Of
course it may be the overseer's
business to remedy that bad spot
Of road, but if the overseer doesn't
do it, what's your next thought?
Just why the property owner should
want to bump over the same rock
pile, jolt over the same ugly, steep
incline, day after day, every time
he leaves home, rather than put in
few hours or a days time in
making the place permanently good,
cannot be reasonably explained.
We cannot help but believe that
those who own property should
take more interest in the roads that
are contiguous to their property and
that they could actually make big
money on the investment by SO do
ine. If we are content that we have
performed our duty toward the
roads when we contribute small
amount of tax and the legal
number Of days labor to them, the
situation is hopeless. The road
problem must become one of more
personal interest to the people be-
fore the new era in real road max
ing dawns upon the country.

A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

The legislature is hard at work
for the people, and we're a liar.
o
Every newspaper man IN the
state knows how the state treasury
feels.
What one dollar can buy-52 is
sues of Sharp county's best paper
The Herald.--Hardy Herald.
There is no denial from this Of
flee, and if the Williford News is
willing we'll make it a unanimous
thing,

Curious how some peoples minds
fv to the drinking of whiskey every
time the word intcmperance is
mentioned. We are not going to
defend whiskey drinking, but it
strikes us that the excessive use OF
whiskey is not the only intemper-
ance people can be guilty OF. For
instance, if a man sWiGS cold but
termilk until he initiates his 'stom-
ach to the bursting point and then
grunts and groans with the belly
ache. and belcheS until he can be
|heard over in the adjoining town
Eship, we imagine he is guilty of q
livery harmful form of intemperance.
EIf a man indulges his appetite Tor
|coffee until he wrecks his nervous
ksystem, poisons his inward ma
4 |chinery and brings on stomach dis
lease, we imagine he is guilty of a
livery harmful form of intemperance.
HI a man sleeps his time away
tand grows sluggish and loses his
energy, we imagine he is guilty Of
IA very harmful form of intemper-
Iance. If a man talks too much, If
he INDUCES in CAB until he becomes
bn eyesore to the community, we
imagine he is guilty of very harm
ul form of intemperance. There
hre many other forms of intemper-
bnce. There is no occasion for
hen, or women, to become one
dead on the subject of intemper-
bnce. 1t will require the careful
attention Of the average man or
Eoman if, when they escape one
|orm Of intemperance, they do not
pecome guilty Of another.
o
The other day we heard a man
b this town declare that a certain
iti2en of this community had
hade a fortune while other men
lept Probably there is some ex-
fayaSance to that statement, but
is a fact that the man who looks
