Three
Headings.
There are three headings, so to speak,
under which a business man is always
- safe in talking about his stock, viz.:
The kind and quality of goods he has to sell,
The kind and quality of goods he does not
sell,
The price and value of the goods he sells.
Good examples of the kind and quality
of goods we sell, are seen in our $7, $8,
$10 and $12 Suits, readymade. Also in
the men's _odd pants, we are selling at
$1, $1.25, $1.50, $1.75, $2 and $3.
A line of odd Coats, lined, at $2.
Boys' School Pants, our own make, at 50c
and 75c.
The kind and quality of goods we 'do net
carry, is best comprehended by one
word—" unsatisfactory" goods of all
kinds: We don't intend that this class
of goods will ever be seen in our store.
.About the prices and values of goods we sell,
we ave this to say: that our prices are
not ong term credit prices. We give
reli ble men a reasonable term of credit,
but ong credit we cannot afford, owing
to t e closeness of the margin at which
we ell.
And now, regarding the value, we intend
answering this question by asking you
to answer it for yourselves. Have you
ever purchased anything from us that
has not given you satisfaction ? We
abide by your answer.

Gook Roads.
DEAR EXPOSITOR.—The.editorial on road
making iu the last issue of Tliel EXPOSITOR
asked for opinions on -the plans suggested.
Gravel put on roads_ in the fall of the year,
as far as my observation goee, is a great
mistake. In the first place, when it is
drawn two or- three miles it cuts the roads
over which it is drawn into gutters, and
they are not good again until repaired. And
when it is put on the road, the wet weather
in the fell of the year, and the heavy loads
1 driving on it, keeps it from packing, and it
does not become solid until the following
summer, whereas if put on in the early'part
of the summer) it is packed solid, anc the
water runs off in the fall, and it re ains
solid and good when most needed for hieavy
loads of grain. I think the first sleighing
in winter a better time than the fall for
making gravel roads,, where no gravel has
been before, but June is. beat for repailing.
The great mistake in repairing roads is1that
there are too many pathmasters; and, I con-
sequently, too many ideas; one men in
every three or four niiles is plenty. The
gravel is heaped up in the centre of the road
in most cases, and the seine amount could
be made to repair very often three or four
times the distance, if spread evenly. When
heaped up in the centre as is often the case,
it is dangerons instead of a benefit, until it
becomes packed and solid. And where
there is 80 much gravel put on the roads,
you will notice about half the roads are not
graded at all, but gravel enough put on to
raise -the centre. In McKillop township we
pay $600 a year , for gravel alone, and in
some places the roads are only graded about
sixteen feet in the centre. I can see no use
in having four rods for a road and only one-
fourth of that fit to drive on at any time of
the year. The roads could be as well grad-
ed in thie zeunty, where we have not stones
or rocks to obstruct, thirty. feet wide, just
as well as fifteen, and leave a gradual slope
' to the water table, instead of a deep ditch.
About ten pathmasters in each township
are enough, and they should be , paid for
their time. I can find sideroads where
grading is needed badly', and for years
they, have been 'putting on gravel a load
deep, and it has never been used yet ; what
travel there is, being done on the tides. I
do not advocate cempelling farniersi to pay
for statute label., in farmers can do the
workeasier than pay the money, and $4,000
a year for statute debor would be e. big ad-
dition to the taxes. But I do think the
Legislature should ,amend the laiy so that
each lot of land would do an equal number
of days statute labor. Where every fourth
man is a pathmaster and two of his neigh-
bors have to do six days work each, one
man will draw a yard of gravelat a load,
the other man half a yard, and one load less
in the day thau the man who draws the
yard. If the pathmaster tries to compel
each man to do equal work, he is in hot
water in the hot month of June. y the
pathmaster were a stranger he would pot be
expected to show favors. I will close for
the present.
