1t is now time and season for hog
cholera in hogs, black LEG IN cattle
to appear in its most violent form.
Our hogs and cattle could be pro-
tected from this most dreaded dis
ease by vacinating at small cost
This should be done. For several
reasons the world has never realiz-
ed the need Of conservation Of food
and products before like the present
time. These diseases among our
hogs and cattle as we all know has
cost Henderson county alone thous-
andS Of dollars each year. Let all
Of us cooperate with our food ad-
ministration and eradicate the dis
eases in Henderson county and raise
a larger number of food animals.

GOOD ROADS.

Editor Progress:
We have a good road law in this
State and that includes Henderson
county. We've got the law, but no
roads and no money. We have had
longer time to work the roads in
and have less worked roads than
we have had In the past Ien year.
What caused this? guess every.
body knows. Ii is the way this law
is conducted, not being enforced as
it should be. In one way it is not
inspected as it should be. In
another way it is by appointing men
who are not interested in good
roads for the county. They take
the job for what they can get out
Of it and not for what good they
can do themselves and the county.
In the third way, the worst OF all,
the money is not used on the roads
as it should be. There is not a
fifth Of the money that is paid in
for road tax put on the roads. If
it was, we would have the best
roads in the State-I mean if it was
all put in fair way to the service
Of all We pay higher tax than
most of the counties of the State
and have the worst roads of any, /
think.
think the Commission ought to
get busy and inspect the roads, for
there is one place leading south
from town that has never had any
work at all. The roads here around
Middle Fork are in bad shape, not
because they have been worked, but
because it was gone over and work
ed at. 1t is dangerous to travel and
it has not rained enough to settle
the mud. 1t is getting time to see
that the road law is carried out to
the best interests Of the people.
Yours for good Roads,
FIFTH DISTRICT.

layed in publication. We trust the
roads are better by this time.-Edi-
