roads only neeil to be worked
and kept passable, with no grading
and fills on them. But
when I he new roads are permanently
surveyed, maps completed
etc., and contracts let, then
the regular road work of grading,
building culverts, bridges etc.,
will commence in earnest, and
ought not to before then it the
work is managed judiciously.
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.
However, we want, to enjoy

good roads while we are living.
We want to enjoy the enhancement
that they will bring about
upon our homes and lands during
our life-time. 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

Delightful Entertainment at

Mr. W. J. Crenshaw, of

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

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
