Grants Pass Do tha Talking and County the Work. Editor Courier We have read many articles of late in the papers, on the Rood roada qnestion. Siime of them hare been very interesting and con tained many plaosibl'. theories and good suggestions. This is a subject in which all thoold be equally inter ested. Cioo I coDuty.rot.di are as much of a benefit to the merchant or busi ness man as to the farther. I snppose a certain aniouut of agitation is necessary ou all poblic questions be fore much action will be taken. Bnt in this case, like many others, it seems that there has be n more talk than action, although there has been some splendid improvements made of late on onr putlio roads in this county. While I do not condemn the new road law, I do not see as it has mach advantage for the majority of farmers, over the old system, in which each road district had its own super visor and each one worked ont his road tax instead of paying the mouey. It seems that most all the money is expended on the main thorooghfares while some of the ontlying districts are sadly neglected. I have been in formed that the people of Grants Pass do not pay any county road tax. If thisbe true there is certainly a screw loose somewhere, onless there is a mutual agTfement to thai effect, that the town people are to do the talking, aud the farmerB aie to pay the taxes to make the reads. We farmers are certainly willing to pay oar share of the taxes it the money is justly and wisely expended and the burden falls equally on all classes. Some writer has goue so far as to attribute all the sins that were ever oommitted from Adm down to the present time to the one cause of had roads. While we think the picture is a little over drawn, we do believe that good roads are a very important factor in the prosperity of a eouutry. As to the ways and means, they have been pretty thoroughly discussed in the columns of the Courier. So we think farther suggestions on that line would te unnecessary. We think our road supervisors are competent men, aud are discharging their duty the best they can with tin means at hand. A Farmer. Murphy, Ore.

J MUTTS HfcYKOYAL KILLS 7? ViM by Dnieif and Dr. Mom l VM We are glad that at the recent con vention at Los Angeles, Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, (Our Lillian) was again re-elected prosideut of the National W. C. T. and MiBS Anna Gordon, vice-president. Mrs. Htevens, noble and self-sacrificing, was the oue se lected hy Miss Willard as her success or and Mils Gordon was an almost constant coniibuiou for uoarly 20 years. After Mrs. Htevens' election she Btcpped forward with the gifts of love about her, and flowers in her hands, and raid in tunes thrilling with emotion, quoting from the union Signal of Nov. 28: "I cannot ade quately express my thanks to yon for this expression of your confidence in me as President of the National W. C T. U. I re consecrate myself to the blessed service, not as your leader, but rather as yum servant. I am thinking just now of the d'ar old home ou the other side of the continent that home from which I have gone frtely out and iu for the laht 30 years, for my husband's heart is like my own iu rilatiou to the W. C. T. V. Inasmuch as iu me lies, aud as high as my prayers may reach, I pledge myself to carry out your plans and wishes, to be what you de sire n:e to be, to go wherever I may be called to go in the interest of the organization. I will endeavor ill all things to deal justly, and as side hy side we go forward, may we strive above all things else to walk humbly with God. " Mrs Frances W. Graham of New York, National musical director, sang sweetly aud clearly the verse written ou the occasion of Mm. Htevens elect iou last year: Hhe hath led through days of darkuewi, She hath led through days of light; Hhe hath led iu love and ialience, .She hath led in strength and might Aud we'll follow where she leads us In our great, tnumphtnt light, As we go marching on. The congregation rose iu a body and sang the chorus, "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah," keeping time to Mrs. Graham's white rihlion d'eked baton with silken flags aud handkerchiefs. The cne was an inspiring oue, aud it gave to the visitors present a great appreciation of the inviucibility of the Woman's Chrisiian Temperance Uuion. whose members are bouud together by such strong ties of love and consecration iu a common cause. Mrs. Htevens nominated Miss Anua Gordou of Illluois vice-prenideut at large. Miss Gordou has been wjrk ing in the W. U. T. U. fur nearly 30 years and unselfishly devotes the time and all that she has and is to Its in terests. Her nomination was re ceived with great enthusiasm, the delegates rising spontaneously uud waving flags and banners in all parts of the house. The nomination was ratified by a rising vote ami Miss Gordon unanimously elected. Most of the other officers were re elected aud one of the plcassntcst con ventions ever held passed Into his tory. There Is more Catarrh In this fen tino of the country than all other di seases put together, aud until lie last few years was supposed to be incur able. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and I re scrilied local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Kcience has proven catarrh to be a conslitiil ional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured hy F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledci, O., is the ouly constitutional cure on the market. It is taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to a teasiaionfull. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offel one hundred dollaia for any case it fails to cure. Hi nd for circulars aud testimonials. Address: F. J.

It is one of the most healthful amusements there is for tho young people. Even the church members in many places have their dances. Our noble pri si deuta are usherid in o office with the inaugural hall. Then vhy should anyone complain about dancing ami its Influences? It has come under our observation many times that those who ecun lain in jit about dancing are the unea v ho were not present, and were ready to believe the hearsays. We believe, aud it has been often proved, that keepL.g young ieipl too much under restriction, has caused as many heart aches as the ballroom. We find too, that the tame H-ople who go to dances attend the play pur lies, spelling school and church. We cnu't see why they are not under the same iu fluent el. We believe in letting young people have their freedom to a cer tain extent, if they enjoy the leas ures of the ballroom allow them to go, go with them and help them to have a pleasant tune. They will bliss you, aud if tney have the good spirit iu them they will never be led astray. The u riptiiirrt says there is a time to dance and we believe the acred writers knew what they were talking about. M. M. Althouae, Deceiiils-r 12. "I was much allllctcd with sciati ca," writs Ed (J. Nud , Iowavillu, Hedegwlck Co., Kan , "going about on crutches and suffering a deal of pain. I was induced to try Ballard's Hnow Liuimeut, which relieved mo. I used three fitlo bottles. It is the greatest liniment I ever used: have recommended it to a number of ier ous ; all express themselves as being benefitted hy it. I now walk without crutches, able to perform a great deal of light labor ou the farm." 2o, Mo, fl.OO al Rotermnud's and Model Drug Htnru. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Beit Made. "In my opinion Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is the best marie for colds," says Mrs. Cora Walker, of Porterville, Cal. There la no doubt about Its being the best. No other will cure a cold so quickly. No other is so sure a preventive of pneumonia. No other is so pleasant and safe to take. These are good reasons whv it should be preferred to any other. The fact Is that few people are satis lied with any other after having oun used this remedy. For salo by all druggists.
