Might Move Some Time.

Being economical is an excellent vir-
tue, but old Skinfint had practiced this
quality to such an extent that with him
1t had become almost vice. His wife
was sometimes driven almost to the
verge of distraction by his meanness.
The climax came when they moved in
to a new house. When old Skintiint
was out his wife thought she would re-
paper the walls Of the drawing room so
as to make it look attractive and
pretty. But when Skinflint saw it he
nearly had a fit.
/, IT don't dislike the pattern or the
color" he gasped, purple in the face
with rage, "but do object to the way
you have put it on. You extravagant
woman" he cried, chow dare you paste
it on?"
"Why, how else could I have done
it?" meekly answered his wife.
GLOW else?" he retorted. you should
have tackled it On. You don't suppose
we shall always live in this house, do
you"

Nearing Completion

The work on the street is near
ing completion, that is, the entire
distance will soon be covered with
limestone, rolled and shaped.
1t will be impossible to complete
the cement cutters and curb this
season as severe freezing weather
will put a stop to it. Enough Will
have been done along that line,
however, TO S ow the necessity for
it, and there is no doubt that every
body will be impatient to complete
the line in early spring.
AS intimated in published pro-
ceedings of the supervisors, good
progress, and a good record as well,
a-bs!ss,-been made on the cement
bridges, the two in which the coun-
ty shares expense, having been
com pleted. A glance at the work
will convince any one OF the WIS
dom of this permanent work, to
say nothing of the claim for neat
n ess over the old wooden struc-
lures. This week, the building of
the bridge on the Franklin road
near E. B. Jones' is in progress,
and with continued favorable
weather, it will be up before this
issue of the Recorder reaches It's
readers.
The supervisors wisely provided
the county's part in the making of
a short line of road east of the
bridge at o. Wilson's, through that
stretch of black mud which Gin
presses" every traveller in the
spring of the year. Thus, with
but little expense to the county
and praiseworthy liberality and
progressiveness on the part of the
: town, the old pike has been put on
a state highway basis through the
entire Monterey valley, the low
ground that could not have been
made good road in any other way.
Apropos of this subject, atten-
ton is called to the Importance Ct
designating some energetic road
man-quali6ed and enthusiastic
to look after the county's interests
in the matter of government appro'
priations. 1t will be recalled that
a large amount has been approprl-
ated for aid to state roads, and
there is every reason to assume
that we are entitled to share in this
fund. In fact, it is known that
the S. & P. pike meets all the con-
ditions for an inter, state highway,
that it is a natural link in the pro-
posed cross,continent thoroughfare,
and the effort put put forth by the
counties crossed may decide the
issue. Appeals have been sent out
from Highland to our representa-
tives, and many more should be
sent urging them to work for this
appropriation, and West Virginians
along the line of road should do
the same thing.
Certainly the supervisors should
make it the business of some ONE
man in this county.
