A few days ago the Buddies-new
men of our National Army-marched
through the streets OF London
amidst cheers that made the build
ings rock with reverberant echoes
and sent a thrill through the heart
of the responsive Yankees. We are
glad this reception was given. 1t is
a link that binds the hearts of the
two great Anglo-Saxon peoples in
one. Ever and anon some one who
is either inclined TO be pro-German
or wants something to growl about
arises and takes a lick at England.
And some poor dupes have no more
eumption than TO favor every railing
charge that is brought against our
strongest ally. There seems to be a
dislike of Britain because we fought
her twice. We fought each other
once-do we hate each other now?
The English are our blood brothers
and our friends. Even the best OF
friends will quarrel, and though we

Here it is June, and reports come
TO us that some of our roads are al
most impossible. This certainly is
a lamentable state of affairs. and it
serves as everything else other than
a boost for our county. We cannot
expect our county to progress when
it is almost impossible to traverse
our roads in midsummer. One of
the best evidences we know of as to
the progressiveness of county is
the condition of its roads, and what
will the stranger, who has to ira
verse our county, think of us when
he finds it a task to get through our
county at the time of year when
roads should be in excellent shape?
Too bad!
