Relative to paragraph in Fridays
Eagle stating the people were anxious
to know when the actual work on the
good roads would begin, we are in
formed today that no time was being
lost, and that all the preliminary steps
were proceeding in n satisfactory man
ner. The court and committee are
not rushing things. but are proceeding
deliberately. giving thorough atten'
ton to every detail in order that no
mistake shall be made. This is well.
as thorough work is far better than
hasty and unsatisfactory work. There
is no reason for hurry. except that the

which the roads should be built. II

PLENTY OF BRAVE MEN
LEFT.

A Louisiana exchange argues
because Mr.. Marion Swords was
killed while in discharge of his
duty that being a sheriff is dan
gerous and should draw big pay
accordingly. In like manner a
clerk Of court should draw big
pay because he might get run
over by some one wanting a mar
rige license in hurry; or an as
SCISSOR might get knocked over
the head because he fixed a man s
assessment too low. Being a
judge is also very dangerous.
About once in every hundred
years or so, some insane person
kills the judge for imposing a
heavy sentence. Same thing may
happen to a district attorney.
But there are always brave men
to fill these positions.-St. Fran
