About then it will begin to look like wo have commenced likeother adjoining counties have already done on the question ol road building in reality, and 1 long to see that time come. We are all tired of traveling these old worn out roads. We want new roads, and don't mind paying out our money to get them, but want the money spent in the most, judicious way practicable to complete the roads the quickest all over the county from center to circumference. Now to do this, in order to suit the best interests of all the people, w 11 bring us right up against a great big problem. Who will solve it? I judge enough money can do it.

We must have the new roads and we want them the easiest and quickest way to get them, and I ouly see two ways to the question, and that is tojpursue under the present road law and system o! building roads which i consider rather a slow way, because it takes no small amount of money to finish them, or under the present laws to set the required relief and hurr.v the work on, we will have to mortgage the county to raise the money or we may be compelled to issue bonds to raise this nion ey to nnian tne roaas. oo under either ol these plans our childten will have to help, and ought to help pay the deht to complete the road; but what we want is the safest and quietest plans to get coed roads, which have ami will be explained ?o the peo p'e bv the various candidates during this campaign lor the <>iflee ol Represent ttive.

Editor Lancaster Ne*s : Last Monday will be loin; remembered by a large crowd cl young ladies and gentlemen who spent the day at the home ot our good friend, Sherill W. J. Crenshaw. We were all invited to come and take part in the pleasures of the day with our good friend and his family. We arrived at 11 and found the larere p.rnwd ftnincinir llmm. - <r> i" J " ? selves eating watermelons, cantaloupes, etc., while others were in the dining room helping Mr. Crenshaw's good lady to prepare something much better tor the inner man. At 1 o'clock we were invited to the dining room, where we all took part and enjoyed one of the best din ners I ever sat down to in all my life. Everything good to eat was there, and the best of all, the most of this magnificent dinner was raised on the farm. Mr. Crenshaw said he attends to the garden and the hogs, and Mrs. Crenshaw the turkeys and chickens. And i< has been said that Mr. Crenshaw is one of the ' best gardeners in this country, and now I believe it. He has now one thousand young cabbages in his garden tor winter, the finest 1 ever saw Lie tells me that he never buys many cabbage, but sells more than he buys and tbe p^olit overruns what lie buys and pays all expenses. Uis cornfield beans are just now coraintr in and be tells me that he is going to plant now soon in bis garden his h ie crop. So much tor all of this, coming back to the enjoyment of tbe day. At. 3 o'clock Mr. Crenshaw got out his violin, known as his father's, which is now about 75 years in the family and one ot the best I ever saw. lie tuned it up, called his baud together, with instruments j composed of the le id fiddle, ban jo ana juii'ar ami nass imdle.
