Look After the Bad Places.

Hon. r. e. Dye, commissioner Of
state lands, highways and improve
ments, does US the honor to take for
tie subject Of his weekly letter to the
press OF the state for publication and
dissemination of news and suggestions
on the subject Of roads, etc. an item
which appeared in this paper on Octo-
Der ,, and comments on it at some
length, as follows:
"On October 3 the following ap-
peared in The Forrest City Times
The roads are awful. especially the

In The Times, when the roads are dry

remainder Of the fall and winter.
During the bad weather spell, lust

condition as existed in st. Francis
county. ON the road mentioned, the
liaskins bill seemed to he the bad
section On each overseer's road there
will be sections that are worse than
Others, and at times sections which
are Wellnigh impossible To fix up
these sections first should be the rule.
During the winter season coming
on, discover the bad places. DO not
dIsband your road organizations. Do
not stop your work except when the
weather is too inclement to work out

done. Drain out the water and fiji up
tile holes.

or ten miles away with load Of cot

hundred feet, three or foar miles out.
lie can haul to town what his team
can pull through the wet place, three
or four hundred feet long The old
adage is, a chain is no stronger than
its weakest link. This can be aptly
applied to roads in that a passabe
road is only as good as its worst spots.
The farmer can only haul over road
tile load that may be pulled by his
team through the bad places

orators. He had many of the quail

he was he was well proportioned.

fore he was 40 years of age. He had
therefore decided that he would no
longer attempt to make formal adj
dresses. In public life he would be
compelled to speak and IL would be
necessary for him to go upon the
platform, but he purposed combining
himself to plain, unadorned state
ments.
"He said that If he were advising a

ator Depew, that General Garfield
would have performed a great service
had he found some way by which he
could teach this lesson TO the young
men Of the United States, so many of
whom are ambitious to become ora

"Garfield's view was that the great

that patience, perseverance and pro-

many young men to take rank with
