BLAND CoUNTY's ROADS

Anyway, the editorial in last weeks
paper about Bland county started some
thing, and that was the object of
the editorial. 1t is to be hoped that
as between with Wythe on one side
Tazewell on the other, that "Bland
may learn something" yet. If Bland
county roads suit Bland county peo-
pie, then, all right. 1t is no body's
business but theirs. But, we predict
that someday, in the not distant fur
ture, the good people of that county
will get tired wading through the
mud, and join their neighbors and
the rest Of mankind, in building good
roads.-Editor.

THE EDITOR DOESN'T KNOW 1T.

Special attention is called to the
advertisements of Breedens Rheuma-
tic Cure and Vito-Nux, in this issue.
The editor wishes to say that he
knows nothing in the world of the
virtues Of these medicines, nor of
others advertised the paper. How
ever,the law is so strict now that it
is difficult for a fake to get by, for
long anyway. One of these remedies
IS advertised, not as remedy, but
as "a cure" for rheumatism.
This is almost an endorsement by
the government pure food and drug
act. All these medicines are sold
under guarantee. You can demand
your money back if they fail to come
up to what is promised.
