OAKLAND
Oakland, Feb. 16.?Some work in
n?w being done on the farm in the
way of ploughing up terraces,; put.
ting stalks and shrubbing back the
hedges, and had it continued dry
many ploughs would soon have been
turning the soil. 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. We must remfilttbftr
that our $75,000 dollar Courthouse
indebtedness is still to be paid and

road funds, and heaven knows how ca
much more, I don't, and too, most lai
behind with about $18,000 dollars on in;
every school district in the county is fa
now paying from three to six mills lei
taxes for the maintenance of better T1

of making slaves of people under
taxation. Every person, as a rule, lai
loves to have the best that there is la:
ito be had, but then there is a limit co
to all things. 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. The road funds of this coun- w<
try would keep our roads in much
better shape than they are now in Lc
if some road overseers and road wi
patchers did not dig so lavishly into da
the funds to pay them, .for the small
amount of work done on the road, ou

Work on the roads instead of so much
grumbling about them, we would have lai
better roads. There was some ex- be;
cellent work pulled off on our road D.

that an automobile could make fast
firogress on them. Messrs C. G. otl
Vey, J. H. Black, Victor Smith and ]
myself did the work which cost the ch;
county not a cent.
