As to drainage: The drainage of a road
eon in this county, for they contain many
good ideas which the Enterrise will review.
Of the points made by ' Progress," that j
on location, grades and drainage proves
how vital these essentials are to securing
good roads. His suggestion el gathering!
data as to the supply and cost of securing j
gravel and rock for road covering is one
that it would be well for the county court to
bear in mind. Regarding plank roads they
are well enough in parts of Ihe county
' where rock or gravel are not easily had, and
have the element of cheapness in their con
struction to recommend them. It is a ques
tion though as to whether it would not
be cheaper for the county to buy the neces
sary plank rather than to purchase a porta
ble saw mill. Portable saw mills such as
are used in the East could not handle the
large, pitchy logs to be cut here, and a mill
ot sufficient power to do tbe work woubt
not be light enough to be portable and
would involve a big expense to the county
both in purchase and in operating. His
suggestion as to providing a fund for the
repair of needed by-roads to keep them
reasonably passable while the principal
work is done on the main roads, is a good
one, and would tend to allay much of the
present opposition to the new road sy stem. 1
His recommendation of a 5-inill road tax is j
strongly backed up by the needs of the
county for better transportation facilities.
It would raise a sum sufficient to make
effective work to be done, yet not be an
excessive burden to anv taxpaver. His
other suggestions are equally as good as the i

tends to prevent a concentration of the road

but indicative of the thanks that will be
given tbe Judge in after years for having
the courage to brave the opposition of the
niossbacks and inaugurate a road system in
keeping with the needs of the county. The
plan of issuing bonds by the county to allow
all of the roads to be built at once will meet
the approval of many taxpayers, but the

Complaim is made by several farmers of
this county of the manner in which they
have been swindled iu buying fruit trees
from Eastern nurseries through traveling
agents. No sympathy is due these men for
they should have known better than to
deal with irresponsible strangers whose glib
promises of marvelous fruits, not to be bad
except from their nursery, were enough to
condemn them. There is no excuse for buy
ing trees from the East, for our home nur
series have as complete selections as can be
had in any state at prices so low as to ren
der competition out of the question, and
re far more free from disease than any im
ported trees. In fact, if the importation of
eastern trees was prohibited, except where
the most conclusive proof was shown as to
their healtbfulness, it would be money in
the pockets of our fruit growers. For with

Next Tuesday is the day observed by all
Christian people in commemoration of the
birth of the Man who brought a new era to
mankind, that of good will and peace and a
spirit of forbearance and tolerance one with
another. To these grand principles is due
the power that bas humanized and civilized
the Christian nations of the earth and raised
them above the pagan people of the world,
and made possible the security to person
and property enjoyed by us to a degree not
known in lands where His precepts are not
the fundamental principle of the common
law. Christmas is a day on which broth
erly love should be most strongly carried
out and the hearts of the needy and afflicted
lie made to rejoice and be glad bv deeds
of charity and mercy.
The Entkki'iiihp. would like to hear from
more of its readers on the road question, for
it is the all-important question with the
people of this county. A perfect system of
roads would add twentv-live per cent, to the
land value of this county, and to the trade
of our towns, and would do away with one
of the chief causes of the discontent so prev
alent among the people of the rural districts.
I'lider the present system some provision
should be made by the county court to set
aside a fund for Ihe repairs of the less im
portant roads, Ihey having so far confined
their labors to the more important ones.
They must not forget that a majority of the
taxpuyers do not live 011 the trunk roads of

FOR GOOD K0ADH.
To the Editor: Tbe roads of a country
are accurate and certain tests of its civiliza
tion, for through them flow the agricultural
productions and the commercial supplies
which are the life-blood of the state. By
the improvement of our roads every branch
to be found gravel and where suitable rock
for macadam ran be found, giving the
quantity in each case and upon what terms
the same can be bad. This need not entail
any coat to the county for the reason that
the supervisor can obtain this information
while in the discharge of his other duties.
After all such data la a matter of record
the court (can then intelligently decide
upon the practicability of an improvement.
As regards the material to be used : Many
of our roads are so remote from either
gravel or rock that to construct them of
either would necessitate a cost far bevond
the ability of those interested to pay. And
In such Instances build a farmers' railroad
a plank roud. The peculiar merit of plunk
roads is the great diminution of Iriclion
upon them, which makes them more akin
lorullrouils than to common roads, with
the advantage over railroads that every one
can drive his own wagon upon them. Let
the county court build some plank roads,
purchase a portable saw mill, and saw all
its bridge and road liirnoer, I have a pre
sentiment that this is not a new idea. Huch
a mill could be operated in this county with
prolit. Many of the worst places In our
roads would lie repaired by Ihe people if
the county would furnish the lumber.
The people of this county cannot confine
themselves to any one kind of road Im
provement. And 1 am sure that plank
roads will bring better returns than any
other.
In this connection let the county pur
chase a rock crusher of Improved pattern.
Of course these things cannot all be ob
tained at one time, but before the road im
provement of this county can be properly
organized it must have the machinery with
which to do the work.
lt the county build all lis roads and em
ploy none but those living In the county.
Every judicious improvement In the estab
lishment of roads increases the value of
land, increases the price of all agricultural
products and augments the public wealth,
