Rain has checked garden work again for several days. Some few gardens have already been ploughed but the ground was ratch wet. The much talked of bad roads, which has prevailed throughout every section of the county for the past two months, and which has furnished ft mouthpiece for half the people :td harp on, has been the cause of the campaign which is now on foot t(? raise funds to establish permanent roads on the main highways of the county. This partial road building which will benefit only the minority of the people is not likely to meet wnn mucn lavor or support fpom those who are not living on the hohds to be built. Every voter of Union county should realize just what condition our county is now in (financially) before imposing greater responsibilities upon her. The pfGBint times are very squally to undertake such a proposition, as it is to be determined by the voters of this county on April 6th.

Some one has said jo; that we (meaning this generation) m< should build the roads and let the hu next generation help pay for them, but this sounds like very poor logic Bi to me. The next genaration will hi: have just as much room for improve- da .^itionts as we have, and more so, for as time passes it calls for greater vis things.
