FEDERAL AID
THI
The members of Congress are di
vided into two classes, first the!
gentlemen who represent country
districts, made up mostly of far
mers, the lumbermen and miners,
and second, representatives from
city districts. The members from
1 he country districts and especially
those from the south have been
working quite a while to try to get
the government to furnish some fi
nancial aid in maintaining and re
pairing the roads over which the
mail riders pass.
Thomas Jefferson long since rec
ognized the propriety of this as is
found in his writings with refer
ence to internal improvements of
the country roads. Henry Clay said,
"Of all the modes in which the
country can employ its surplus reve
nue, none is more permanent and
beneficial than that of internal
improvements. Fixed to the soil it
becomes a durable part of the land
itself diffusing comfort and activity
and animation on all 6ides," and
John C. Calhoun while secretary of
war said' "Let it not be said that
internal improvements should be
left wholly to the enterprise of the
state and individuals." A very im
portant bill is now up before con
gress, which we think will pass, in
fact it has already, we understand,
passed the h^use, in which it is pro
posed to spend trom fifteen to twen
ty-five dollars per mile per annum
on all the highways in the United
Kelps a Judge in a 3ad Fix.
Justice Eli Cherry, of Gillis
Wills, Tenn., was plainly worried.
A bad sore on his leg had ba tiled
several doctors and long resisted ali
remedies. I thought it was a cancer, '
he wrote. 'At last I used Bucklen's !
Arnica Salve, and was completely
cured." Cures burns, boils, ulcers,
cuts, bruises and piles. 2Sets at

Escapes an Awful Fate.
A thousand tongues could not ex
press the gratitude of Mrs. J E
Cox, of Joliet, 111., for her wonder
ful deliverance from an awful fate.
Typhoid pneumonia had left me
with a dreadful cough, she writes,
"Sometime* J had such awful cough
ing spells I thought I would die. I,
could , get no help from doctor's
treatment or other medicines till I
used Dr. King's New ' Discovery.
But I owe my life to this wonder
ful remedy for I scarcely cough at
all now." Quick and safe, its the
most reliable of all throat and lung
medicines. Every bottle guaranteed.

states transporting rural mails. We
hope that the state legislature will
also follow the example and supple
ment this amount with a like sum
and in this way, let the money act
as a sort of bait to toll the people
into having good roads. Some of
the gentlemen in the" city districts
oppose this on the grounds of what
they call legislation in favor of one
class against another class, and say
further that the government lias no
right to pay the state and local
communities for the use of their
property, but as wa3 ably illustrat
ed by Mr. Lever, from this state,
they seem to forget the millions of
dollars that the government is an
nually paying to railroads, electric
I and cable cars, steamships and for
j the rent of post office buildings and
for pneumatic tube service and
house to house delivery in cities, of
' mails by carriers, and they do not
seem to realize as Mr. Lever says,
that "Prosperity for the farm spells
prosperity for the cities, rural hap
piness means city contentment, the
town and country are interdepen
dent, one cannot prosper while the
other fails to do so. Secretary Wilson
estimates that it costs each person
in the United States annually three
dollars and a half on account of the
bad conditions of the roads" AND
GOOD ROADS WILL KEEP

The difference between a peni
itentiary and a palace is largely a.
matter of detail.
Both are designed for human hab
itation and serve equally "well to
protect the inmates from the ele

But oni is a vastly more comfort
able place of abode than the other.
SO IT IS WITH GLASSES
Crudely fitted glasses MAY help
