The question of bonding the county
for good roads has been debated by
some of the ablest speakers in the
county but the reports of those dis
cussions as published in the Observer
'have been unfair to the anti-bonding
side of the question. The Im'bler

It will be his father's 'hotieaty which
I will be accepted for his former dis-
honesty. Nor is the property of such
a vicarious atonement on the part of
a father, questioned, unless another
I question arises, whether such atont

justice to the safety of so-.'ietv.
Thus we son, in daily experience,
atonement or satisfaction is requinvJ
, for offenses before they can be just

these elements, restitution to the one
injured, with confession, repentance
nnd conversion on the 'part of the of-
fender. This atonement will be in
