Since the West River Valley associa

about an Improvement in the service
over the old Brattleboro & Whitehall
road the people of that section as well

to be thinking of cutting out. That

early afternoon south bound train not
only affords excellent connections for
points both north and south but also
has proven a great convenience to per-

on business and yet did not wish to
leave home as early as would be neces-
sary to take the morning train.

The reason which railroad officials
are said to advance in support of the
proposed curtailment is n familiar one
nowadays. 1t is in brief that the
trains do not do enough business 70
Il pay for themselves. This is an argu-
ment which is rather difficult to meet,
| especially when the road stands ready
to produce figures to prove the truth
of its contention, but for all that it is
doubtful whether the proposed curtail
ment will be allowed to take effect with
out a vigorous remonstranco on tho
part of the local board of trade, the
West River Valley association and 9th
ers interested If the railroad authori-
ties cannot be induced to bear the bur
den of the deficit which they claim
will follow in case the present schedule
is kept in effect throughout the winter
it is possible that some arrangement
can be made whereby portion of the
cost viii be borne by other interests.
Central Vermont officials should bear in
mind, however, that curtailment Of
the passenger train service on the West
River branch will have a serious effect
on the development which has been
under way during the past three years
IN towns along the line. And the Cen
trail Vermont ought to be as much in
terested as anyone else III seeing these

The accident sustained by young

II was dark outside, and coming out of

dark, which caused him to step off the
side of the incline some distance. about

The Stanford turnpike to the Lincoln
county line, just completed is a model
and is pronounced by competent judges
as one of the best roads in the state.
A good coat Of oil in the spring would
make it perfect road The remodel
ing of this highway was to some extent
an experiment by the county Judge and
his court. The rock was gotten from
Mt. Vernon and the work done under
the supervision of the county road
engineer with the county machinery
The additional expense of oIling would
be small compared with the cost of re-
building a road as this has been, and
should be done in order to complete the
experiment. If it is proven that oiling
will double the life of a road. then all
roads will be oiled in the future before
turned over to the public as completed.
Many counties have been oiling the
macadam highways each year, and find
that it is money well spent. The use of
oil by the city of Lancaster for several
years upon its streets has proven to be
a great preserver of its highways.
Some well built streets in the city
which have been oiled for four con-
secutive years, without any repairing
do not show any ware although receiv-
ing all the public travel. This observa-
ton tends to prove that it will pay to
oil road. The blowing off the dust and
bind of macadam roads by rapid going
motor vehicles greatly impairs the life
of the roads and in our opinion neces-
states the use of oil to preserve them
and only few years hence no road will
be considered completed, no difference
how it is built, unless treated with a
coat of road oil. County Judge C. A.
Arnold is on the right track in his eff
fort to raise the standard of road con-
struction in the county. More show
can be made by cheap overhauling and
patching roads. 1t may please and
satisfy more voters Tor the time. This
has been too much the policy of the
past and is partially responsible for the
present condition of our highways. The
public does not object to the time and
expense of procuring good roads but
are proned to complain and criticise I'M
less brought Immediately convenient to
their premises. OF course some must
suffer until good roads can be built to
cover the man thoroughfares. Build
well as you go should be a slogan in
road construction. The public of this
county should corporate with the
county judge in his effort to build last.
ing roads. Supervision of construction
by the state as required by the present
law in order for our county to get the
benefit of the state aid fund has greatly
hampered and retarded the work of our
officials this year. This defect will
probably be remedied by the General
Assembly that meets in January. With
the state aid fund in the hands of our
county judge next year and the ex-
perience Of the last two years TO aid !
him we look for new era in good
roads for Garrard county in the future
Believing that the rapid wear of roads
incidental to modern uses require the
application of oil to preserve and pro-
teet the highways we hope that Judge
Arnold and his court will not neglect to
make sufficient experiment in oiling the
newly constructed highways to give il
a fair test.

BURTON.

Mrs. Bertha Mitchell Burton died at
her country home Saturday night after
lingering illness. Dav after day had
gone up prayers for her recovery, not
only from her own family circle. but
from every one who knew her. Many
were the silent prayers which voiced
the sentiment;
mot here. o death not here.
Is there nc other flower for thee to take?
All the world is thine, and for its sake
Oh! come not here
But alas, Death loves a shining
mark and so it came.
In the death Of Mrs. Burton the com
munity in which she lived sustained a
great loss. She was a true friend and
her devotion to those she loved would
make bright chapter in any life.
While she has gone from the scenes,
the conflicts. the sorrows and pleasures
of life, she will still live in the hearts
of those who knew her best. Her Ie-
firing nature led her TO hide her best
qualities from the public gaze. but they
were fully revealed in the home life.
She was kind and loving daughter
and sister and her devotion to her hus-
band knew no limit.
God touched her with His finger,
and she slept" the poet wrote. SO
We may say of her life-"God touched
her with his finger and she slept; but
not until beautiful life was lived. a
noble example of patience, fidelity to
truth and faith were given. She lived
a cOnsecrated Christian life and died a
triumphant death.
Mrs. Burton was daughter of Mr..
Charles Mitchell, of Jessamine. Co.,
who survives her. her mother having
died some time ago.
In her young womanhood she gave
her heart and life into the keeping OF
Mr.. Robert Burton who in all the
twenty years of their married life had
been a most devoted husband.

at the country home by Elder +. M.
