Mr.. Mcdonald and Good Roads.

Mr.. Marshall w. Mcdonald, county
turnpike commissioner, was among the
callers at the Register office on Monday,
and he talked at length on the question Of
good roads. He expressed his very earn
est purpose to give his best efforts TO the
improvement of the roads under his juriS-
diction, an3 hopes not Only TO maintain
our good reputation in this respect, but
to add TO our laurelS. He is studying the
subject, with a view TO applying the best
methods of road building and mainte-
nance applicable to conditions in our
county. Mr.. Mcdonald says that he
doesn't object TO criticism, but he thinks
that tits only fair to remember that there is
always the matter of economy to be con-
Sidered and that everything cannot be
done at once. He desires TO serve the
public to the best of his ability, and we
will bear him out in his contention that
every penny used by him is honestly eX-
pended. He referred TO the use OF the
steam roller in his work in this neighbour
hood, and says that ifs economical oper-
alton is not feasible in the work he is do
ing at present. Mr.. Mcdonald has his
force working on the Shepherd turnpike
at present, having just put large guam
tity OF crushed stone on the Shepherds
town and Halltown turnpike. He con-
templates putting in concrete bridge ov-
er the little stream near w. N. Buckles
place next season, thus eliminating the
only really bad place on the latter road.

At THE PICTURE SHOWS
The Pastinne.

hC
The home of good pictures. Two
big feature films for Fridays change
of program:
"The Picture IDOL" Vitagraph.
Featuring Mr.. Maurice Costello as
Howard, the Picture Idol In love
with a picture is a common complaint
with lots of girls and just as many
men. Every day brings a batch of
love letters to Vitagraph players from
lovesick swains and maidens who
have fallen in love with them. 1t is
the. bane of a players life to be idol
lied in this way. "The Picture IdoP'
in this picture shows how he cured
one girl of her foolish sentimentality.
1t is rich in laughable truths.
"The Senoritas Butterfly" Lubin
A pleasant picture acceptable for sum-
mertime when love stories are popu-
lar. The senorita with her dcrk
eyes and thick black hair is an ac-
ceptable heroine also. Her people
want her to marry some one else, but
the rich and young Don Carlos has
seen her and fallen desperately in
love and being a persistent suitor
wins her favor and in the end the
family permits Dolores to marry the
man she has learned to love.
"Jim's Wife," A good western pic
ture, very we'll made. 1t is a log
ging story, set in the Maine woods
and has some extremely beautiful
forest scenes, as we'll as an interest
ing story.
"The Musketeer's Duel" C.. G. P
C. A graceful, courtly picture OF
France in the time of Louis XIII.
"a Lesson in Liquid Air" A very
instructive, interesting picture more
or less exciting.
