Theu convention, as previously announced. will u1eet in this city, but as thc State I ione, owingv to the S,5ions of the ContiTutik :1 Coniventiont, wvill ntbe aviab, iP. has been thbought best to hold it in the~ county court house. Arrangrcment have been male for reduced rates of board for the d<lettes -nd it i thought that the r.0h1oad. wil exte:d the usual courtesy of a round In; rate to those who attend the convetion. Itf the convention is as largre a it should be the work wil undoutedly be productive of -ood resuts. Every supervisori road com.nssioner and road overscer is invited to attend and all ouLht to come if they can possibly do so to exevaiic ideas and formlate platis for the inproveient of' the pub lic highways of the :tat.- Tit, The road congres; is of great. im portance and s-ould be attended bv every supervisor and township co) missioner in tjc S:ate. The pcoplh of the Sotht0 have Ito i,e.1 ot tilc great becelit consequent upon good roads. Bat now is ani oppo.-:iune t !i for the discussion and promu gation of nc ideas onl ro.:ds. E:-pecciaiy as te chain garg on our I uli:c highvays ix a new fCalm e in our county govern ment. Oar attention has ben dircet ed to the iprovement. in our roads by many of our ctizcas, and m1rc espe cmlly by personal observation. The work has beer. thoroughly done anld the roads where the gang has ben working are in fine fix. But t hey have not i ct been testel by winter raiis and heavy tra.veing. We hope h matter of wo: k ng a road m chine wil be discouried upon by s:>me inttelient person who ha !had praclical expierience wih the a cli1ne. We !rar that uzess a h0zavy coating of crushed ro k or large gravel can be pia.d on some of our hills, whichhave been wou r d and are now in sp'e:ndid lix, t.it they -ill wash badly in win:cr. This is impossible I in some sectIons, for the rock and gravel are not ahivays near enough to be available; but in many instances there 15 plenty Cf it. The niat:er of thorough drainage is a matter we;l worth careful debate, i and is of as great importance as any feature of road making. We have better roads at preseut then we have ever had and hope our county board will a'l attend on the 21th. From a letter written by Lev. J. 6un dermlan, of Dimoadale, ic bh,, we are pe'r mitted to make this extract: "1 ha~ve no hesitation in reconnending Dir. 1King's New Discovery, as the results were al most marvelous in t~he ease of myv wife.

'-I "s8C and 't0 I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, about eight mon.....i;cring between them, the last one ccnfining me to my bed for four nr:tsandi attacking my nervous system, with such severity that my life (w::s d-saiedl of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcoties that stupeficd me, but gave rue no rest. For more than eight long weeks I was only conscious of intense ment:d weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in this condition, it seemed like a providential circumstance that I learncd of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, for in two days after I commenced using i , Ibc;;an to improve and in one month's time I was virtually cured,A and very much to the surprise of everybody who knew of my condition; for none of them believed I would ever recover. I have been in excellenf, health since and have recommended your remedies to many of my friends, not one of whom has failed to thank me for doing so, when I have met them again. But the best remains to be told. Mrs. Hilton had suffered with severe nervous t roubles for thirteen years and had been treated by several physi cians, who stand high in their profession, without an~y perceptible improve ment. Seeing how the Nervine had so effectually cured me, she commenced using it and is now in excellent health. We never fail to recommend it." LouisvILLE, Jan. 22, 1895. D.
