Almost a Miracle.

One of the most startling changes
ever seen in any man, according to w.
B. Holsclaw, Clarendon, Tex, was af-
fected years ago in his brother. "He
had such dreadful cough" he writes,
that all our family thought he was
going into consumption, but he began
to use DR.. Kings New Discovery, and
was completely cured by ten bottles.
Now he is sound and well and weighs
2l6 pounds. For many years our fami.
ly has used this wonderful remedy TO,
coughs and colds with excellent results. .
It's quick, safe, reliable and guaranteed.

every road that passes by or

every road that passes by or
through your place you onght to
be using the split-log drag now.
The condition of the roads for
the coming season depends on
you. By a concerted action you
can reduce the price of your
hauling so per cent.
Remember the drag does its
best work from the time that the
mud ceases to be sticky until it
becomes nearly dry; and if the
road is consistently dragged
while in this condition, the sur
face will become even, hard, and
smooth, and more easy to main
tain with each use of the drag.
/ would like to say a word
about farmers dragging t h e
roads. 1t seems to me that this
is a waste of time, space and prin-
ters' ink. To be any permanent
use the roads have to be drag
ged every two weeks the year
round. Where is the farmer who
has the time to do this unless he
is able to keep two teams and an
extra hand-one to do farm work
and one to drag the road? Who
is going to do the farmers work
while he is dragging the roads?
Right after a rain is the time to
drag the road and that is the very
time he should be in his crops to
save the moisture.
No, the split-log drag is all
right, but it will never be of any
permanent use until there are
men paid to use them.
L. M. YOUNG.
We quite agree with our friend
that the time must come when
some one will be paid to drag the
roads, but every man who is
dragging them ION his own
hook, !" is bringing that time
nearer by showing what the work
is worth. In Iowa the law pro-
vides for compulsory dragging,
and we expect to see such a1aw
in several Southern States.
No, the men who drag the
roads and the men who urge that
they be dragged are not wasting
time and printers ink. They
are showing the way to get real
ly good roads for less than is now
spent to make poor ones.

Quit Complaining and go to Dragging

GIberville SOUTH
We have said it many times
before, but it cannot be said too
often, that the drag is the cheap
est and best good roads maker
ever invented, says the Progress
sive Farmer. 1t is one thing
that seems never to disappoint.
If it had been a patented device
with slick-tongued agents selling
it at ten times its cost, the whole
South would have bought drags
before this. AS it is, our road
officials go on spending the peo-
pies hard-earned tax money on
the old-fashioned and Intellectual
schemes their fathers and grand
fathers used.
1t is time, Mr.. Subscriber, to
wake up the authorities in your
parish and make them begin u.s.
ing the drag. 1t is worth while
for you to drag the road around
your home just for your own
sake, but sooner or later every
parish must have a law like
Iowa's which allows the farmer
fifty cents a mile for each mile
travelled back and forth while
dragging the main public roads.
The average country dirt road
must be kept in such a condition
that it too will be a paying in
vestment, and not a constant
mud tax and blacksmith tax on
our teamsters and farmers. This
can be accomplished in an ex-
ceedingly great measure by keep
ing the surface smooth, free from
holes and properly drained.
There are a great many imple-
ments and machines for attain
ing this end, for the average dirt
road none is so economical as the
split-log drag, and none does the
work better.
One great thing in favor of |
the split-log drag is the simpli- |
city of its construction and its
cheapness. Any in tellig en- t |
farmer can make one; and if he
will do so and use it at the pro-
per time he will be astounded
that so much good could come
out of anything so commonplace. |
The United States Office of Pub
lie Roads in Washington, D. c.,
will upon application gladly send
to any one full instructions as to
how to make and use a split-log
drag.
| have seen the split-log drag
used time and time again, and
wherever it was used consistently
and intelligently the results have
been most excellent and crafty
ing. We have just passed through
a spell of weather that has been
exceedingly hard on our roads,
and most of the roads have been
left in very bad condition. On

The First Split-Log Drag for Grant
Parish.


We were pleased to learn this
week that Mir. s. w. Johnston,
our parish road worker, had made
a split-log drag with which to
word TIE roads of the parish, the
first We believe for Grant parish.
Or Wednesday morning we saw
this outfit. 1t is made on the
PIN of the drags recommended
~ the government Good Roads
partment, but is much heavier
than those usually made. Mr..
Johnston works it with team
Of four mules hiched abreast, and
two heavy draft horses hitched
in the lead. He has a man to
manage the team and another to
manage the machine, which does
splendid work. The drag is made
extra heavy in order to work the
heavy, stiff mud of the roads in
the bottom lands, but for work
in the hills a drag light enough
to be drawn by two horses will
do efficient work.
There is no doubt in the world
that the split-log drag is the
cheapest, the simplest, and the
best implement ever invented to
make good roads. The Chronicle
has harped on this subject for
four or five years, and has print
ed illustrations, descriptions and
comments amounting to many
columns about the split-log drag.
Also in connection with Mr.. G.
H. Mcknight we have had a
hundred or more No. 321 Govern
ment Farmers Bulletins distrib-
uted among the people of Grant
parish, showing pictures of the
split-log drag, and telling all
about how they are to be made
and used. And the farm journ-
ais have all told about the split
log drag. Yet, with all of this
information, we believe Mr..
Johnston, who made his drag
this week, is the first man in
Grant parish to make drag and
give it a practical test. 1t is
really astonishing that our police
jury has not had a dozen of these
simple and cheap machines made
and had them at work on the
roads more than a year ago.
They would have done three times
as much work as has been done,
and it would have been worth
much to the parish.
In this connection we would
call attention to an article in this
issue of the Chronicle headed,
Quit complaining and go to
Dragging" taken from the her
~
vile South. In commenting on
what Mr.. Young has to say
In his communication about the
the split-log drag, the editor of
the South very correctly con-
cludes that somebody will have
to be paid to drag the roads. |
The average farmer has neither
the time nor the inclination to do |
this work. 1t is clearly the duty |
of the police juries to attend to
the proper working of the reads. |
The people pay taxes to build
roads and bridges, and the police
Jurors are elected to attend toll
for them.
We hope to see the time speed
lily come in Grant parish when
every ward has its separate road |
syndic to work the roads, sup
piled with span of good mules. |
a pillow and a split-log drag, and
the outfit kept regularly employ
ed at the expense of the parish. |
In this way the model roads and
all the other roads Of the parish
can be kept in good condition.
