While the question of good roads .s
paramount at this time It is noticeable
what little interest generally is taken in
the matter by the businessmen. Every
merchant in this county is looser to a
much greater dcgieo that possibly many
of them realize and Uie poor condition of
our roads is responsible in a great mea

away to the larao mill order houses.
These houses receive many small orders,
which in the agareaate runs into thou
sands of dollars during the year, from the
fact that it is easier to sit by the side of
a warm fire and make out their orders
and have the free rural delivery bring the
package ta their doors than it is for
them to hitch up a team and travel sev
eral miles thru an almost impassible lob
lolly. In the older eastern states that
enjoy miles of macadamized road, it Is
noticeable that on ramy days when the
farm work cannot be followed, the roads
