Nothing new going on. Perhaps it is on account of the good democratic times. We have no democrats or populists out here now since the last spring election. Perhaps their coffers are full and their riches untold. Since we last wrote from this part we have bad plenty of rain, making bad roads and lots of grumbling. We would advise the grumblers to travel less and work more on the roads. Under the old system of road work it was hard tor supervisors to get their men to do good work. Under the present system of road labor thev want all the money expended in front of their own premises. Perhaps the editorof the Enter prise can give us a plan that will please some one.
