Better Roads.

Editor Messenger:
You had lately two or three
splendid articles ON the subject of
good roads. Unfortunately it does
not seem that you have had any
seconds. The time Of our people
is so much taken up with politics,
about who would beat in the Dem.
ocratic Primary, about who will be
elected Governor, whether or not
the Bull Moose will have a local
ticket or not, that we have no time
to devote to such serious subject
as better roads to our town.
1t matters very little to the ma.
jority of US who occupies those
various positions. But it does
matter a great deal to all of us in
this town, whether or not we have
roads, on which people can travel
upon after a rainy spell such as we
have just had.
Our neighbors, all around us,
seem to find time to squeeze in
better road work, between our nu.
merous elections.
At present our customers living
in the country, wait until the
weather and the roads are good, to
go to town and do their shopping
and our only handicap is black
