Fifty years ago there was some
excuse for bad roads, for out
country was poor, but now then
is no excuse. A good toad is ul
ways to be desired, ami is a
source of comfort and conveni
oner to every traveler. G oh *
roads attract jwipulation. as well
as good schools and chur’hes
they also improve the value of
projierty. A larger load can be
di awn by one horse over a good
road than by two over a bad «me.
Good roads encourage the great
v«t exchange of products and
commodities between one section
ami another, ami are also of
great value aa feeders to rail
roads.
The public have little apprecia
tion of the value of a well con
ducted local newspaper. Their
offices of ben ¡licence to the com
munity are so common that they
are unnoted, but nevertheless no
town or city can advance unle s
its newspapers are in the for
front of its advancement. They
are the life of the community.
They must lead in every effort to
invite capital, enlarge industries,
and enthuse people in the use of
their advantages.
