back with the forefinger when the
cork is to be removed, and springs

A WISE GOOD ROADS" SUCCESS.
TON.

McLennan County has recently
registered at Austin S1,O75,000 of
bonds, the proceeds of which are to
be used in building good roads. This
is rather notable expenditure for
this purpose, even in these days when
Jew things are easier in Texas than
TO get an authorization of bonds for
this purpose. But this item would be
much more notable if 1t carried some
assurance that McLennant County had
made adequate and certain provision
for the maintenance of the 1875 miles
OF good highways that it expects to
make with this money. II 1t has done
this IL would at least be exceptional,
for while it is common thing for
making OF good roads, 1t is decidedly
an uncommon thing for Texas coun.
ty TO make provision for their mainte-
nance. The result Is that large per.
centage of the millions that have been
spent in Texas for good roads repre-
sents nothing but waste. We may
well emulate the rule of the railroad
in this matter. What, do you suppose,
