ROADS SHOULD BE
KEPTEN REPAIR

Editor Star: Good roads are the
greatest asset a community can have
except good citizens. Marion county
has good citizens in abundance. We
also have some good roads and many
that could be better.
A lot of money is needed to make
better roads but some could be spent
to advantage in keeping good those
already built. When a road has been
built at a cost of many thousand dol
lars per mile. it is good policy to
watch that road and keep it in good
shape. 1t costs less to watch for holes
and washouts and repair them prompt
ly than to let them go until their size
and number have ruined the high
way.
Railroads find it necessary to keep
section gangs watching for broken
rails, rotten ties, loose spikes and the
many other defects that appear on
their right of way. The moment any
damage is located, somebody goes to
work to fix it.
We need road repair gangs in
charge of careful. competent men who
will watch for defects and repair
them promptly and thoroughly. A
glaring instance that shows the press
ing need of this work can be found
just beyond Dunnellon on the newly
built road to Inglis. There is a cavity
on the south side of the road that is
rapidly gnawing its way across the
road. The road is built up at thi:
point about fifteen feet above the leve
of the field and any automobile ol
wagon that falls into this cavity i:
sure to tumble down into the field
This one wretched flaw in the road il
a menace against the lives of all wh'
use the road. This needs prompt re
pair because it spells ruin to a roat
which is not yet completed and NOR
especially because of its grave DANCE
which threatens our citizens.

LITTLE'S SHOE STORE ROBBED

One morning last week, Mr.. M. M.
his, store found to his surprise and sor-
row that it hau been robbed during the
night. He reported his foss-to the of
ficers, both city and county, but tho
they have searched steadily and faith
fully they have so far found no clue.
Mr.. Little's loss amounts to about
$500, all in the best shoes. The method
the goods shows that the thief was
reasonably familiar with Mr.. Little's
store and manner of arranging his
stock. Entry was made thru the front
door, which had a weakness in the
fastening that could not have been
known to any stranger. There was
only one way of taking advantage of
this weakness, and this the thief en-
picyed. There was no light inside the
stree, but the light from the outside
was enough to enable anyone familiar
with the stock to move around and
pick out what he wanted. Nearly all
the shoes taken were of the best
quality. Mr.. Little did not speak OF
his loss until last night, when having
made up his mind that the goods were
gone beyond recovery he spoke of the
robbery to the Star.
| Mr.. Little has complete list of the
lost property. so any person who may
be offered new or slightly worn shoe:
extra cheap by some party who is no
