A GOOD ROADS POET.

The following verses were writer
by Mr.. r M. Johnson, of Virginia
The people Of our own state alss
might take the spirit of these verses
to heart:
In Old Virginia.
Here in old Virginia,
From the mountains to the sea,
Gods piled up stone and gravel
Just as handy as can be-.
He intended US to use it,
No doubt, in building roads,
To tighten some the burdens
OF the beasts that draw our loads
But the rock is where He placed it.
And the gravel's in the pit,
Waiting unborn generations
To construct our roads of it.
We just keep on a-pulling
Through the mud and up the grade
Building roads with good intentions
Like the devils own are made.
Il es~r ~. .-,r; 30 r.
We've got to answer for It
On the resurrection morn,
When good old angel Gabriel
Sounds the summons on his horn.
We've got to give good reason
Wnv we didn't use that stone
To the King of Golden Highways
Sitting there upon His throne.
We'll have to stand before Him
And confess that we've been slow
To carry out His wishes
In this matter here below;
Stand there with guilty conscience,
Hesr some supervisor say:
Good Lord, we lowed to use It

taxes due the negroes. that the ne
groes were given five months

made that the property of the ne

GAS COMPANY HAS AN eHPtR
WHO WILL VISIT THE HOMES
OF THE GAS PATRONS.

As stated in our issue of January
II. the City Gas Co. are taking
practical steps to assist their patrons
TO enjoy the highest economy posi-
bic from their cooking, heating and
lighting appliances.
1t is the purpose of the new organ
ization to give every consumer per-
sonal attention and improved sery-
ice.
The City Gas Company have Sc
cured the services of Mr.. Frank W.
Connolly. who is an experienced gas
appliance engineer. Mr. CoIhe'lE
today commenced calling on tn pat
rons of the Gas Co, and will make
a house to house canvass, and VIII
adjust stoves and ranges TO give hiSh-
er efficiency wherever possible, lights
to be taken care of later.
III Connelly's services for This
work will be free. there being no
charge to the consumer, as the eX-
pense will be borne by the Gas. CO.
The scope of this work IS much
broader than appears at first plush
Gas consumption can be reduced, Oh
noXious. fumes eliminated, and ac-
cumulaton of carbon and soot 81

We have had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr.. Connolly, and find that he
is whole.souled and enthusiastic in
his work, working on the basis that
the average man is honest ana Wor.
thy of your confidence.
Mr. Connelly's efforts should go
far toward promoting harmony he
tween the company he serves ami
the gas consumers.
With the City Gas Co. taking such
practical measures to give perfect ser
vice, and conducting their business
on sIch broad-minded lines, it be-
hooves to extend to them the courto-
sizes they deserve; don't blame the
Gas Co. for all your troubles, it may
be that you are trying to heat a
large room with a stove entirely too
small. You may not have your mix
er or damper adjusted properly, and
the cause of poor light may be due
TO lack of attention or need of proper
regulation.
SO let us not be found wanting in
our cooperation with our local gas
company in this worthy effort T."

to state that while Mr.. F. w. Con-
