we dislike :he cronic GROWER
as much as ANY one can. and
would hate to be placed in that
category. but there are times
when growing becomes neces-
sary. Then it should be done
conscientiously, and gotten rid of
as quickly as possible. as are
other unpleasant duties The
particular subject that should en-
gage the attention of the growler
at present is the fearful condition
OF the streets at Mathews G. H.
During the last rainy spell they
became rivers Gas they always do
under similar conditions) with
the middle Of the road tcr the:
river bed. later. under the in
huenCe Of a few days of sunny
weather. their condition changed
to STICKY. muddy, disagreeable
state that would do credit to a
marsh, or swamp road. later yet
to dry in most parts leaving here
and there a pool of stagnant water
to terminate disease and death.
This condition Of affairs is a
disgrace to Mathews County. 1t
is shame that ladies coming from
all parts OF the county TO deal sh-
ould be forced to vale through
mud in order to tie their horses.
Mathews is the capitol city. so to
speake. Of our county. To it
come citizens from all parts to
transact legal and other kinds OF
business, they all should, and nc
doubt do, desire TO see conditions
so improved that thev may be
able to point TO it with pride as
a model and enterprising town,
The condition which we con-
denim is not new, in fact its exis-
tance dates back beyond our rec
objection. Whose fault is 1t then
that it has been allowed to con-
tinue unimproved'. Surely OF
those gentlemen who have from
time have had the power to rem
rdY it. We have been informed
by a reliable citizen of Mathews
Z. H. that the business men oi
the town at one time offered &c
haul and place upou the streets
here sufficient oyster shells &c
cover them to the depth of twelve
inches If the Board of s supervisors
would buy the shells. Had this
offer been accepted we would al
present have streets instead o.
muddy roads. OF course we reaI
ize that the officials are not alto
ge.her to blame. that had the cit
liens been sufficiently insistant
they would have in all probability
secured improved highways long
ago. Realizing this fact, we are
writing this with the hope that
1t may help bring the citizens tc
a consciousness of their power
and that they may exercise that
power by demanding On the prop
er way Of course) that the streets
here be improved.
Mr. Ryland IN last wee ks is
sue Of his paper states editorially,
that the card announcing his can
didacy for the Office of Common
wealths Attorney of MiddIesex
Co.. was a JOKE. We are con-
strained to wonder what motive
actuated the usually sedate ed
tor Of the Sentinel. in the persu-
ance of this peculiar course.
The worst thing that we have
heard a bout the Reciprocity
Treaty, being now so strenously
advocated by President TAFT. is
the report that Senator Aldrich
