THE ROADS.

Something Must Them,

le'

Done*

Terre Haute Cannot Afford to Disregard This Matter Any Longer., 3

While the past winter has been, as regards weather, one of the mildest and most pleasant, in some other respect it has been uncomfortable, not to say dis astrous. Probably never before in the memory ot the oldest inhabitant, have the country r. ads been in such wretched condition. The impassible state of the roads have almost totaly stopped traffic, and have seriously affected business. Fortunately many farmers have sold and delivered much ot their wheat, and have thus tecured a good price in good time, but the corn crop has been left in the fields, either unhusked, or in piles, exposed to the weather. We hear of heavy loss on corn in this way, as even what was secured and cribbed is spoiled, or has been rotting since. There is in this a costlv and pertinent lesson to farmers. We must "mend our wavs"jin this respect. Without roads, civilized man is reduced to the heirless condition of the savage. We have lost sight of this absolute necessity for

country roads. We have ig

nored ihe fact that bad roads are one of the heaviest taxes to which the business ot Terre llauie as well as agriculture of this jcounty are subjected. We hare submitted year after year to the annoyances and losses occassioned by our miserable roads, and still it is piobable that unless atten ion is persistently drawn to this subject, it will be overlooked so soon as the occasion ha3 passed away. During winter, we can neither make nor repair roads and when "set,led weather" comes, we can get along pretty well without repairing them forgetting tnat we have the most use for roads just at he season when we may expect them to be in th» most miserable condition. In this way we worry along. Our whole road system needs changing. Building a new courthouse for a quarter or half a million has been talked of and came very near being accomplished at one time. While it would have caused a heavy tax, it would no have benefitted neither county nor city in the lea*t. Without a new court house we can get along for many years without hurling anvbudy, but good roads we mu*t have now. Good roads this winter might have saved several business men in town, and farmers in the country, frcm i^eing sued and sold Out by their creditors. A fine, $200,000 court house would, perhaps, be considered cheap, and a good investment, although it. would benefit nobody, while $100,000 expended on the 7

main roads,

leading out of Terre Haute, would be of ereat and everlasting benefit to everybody in the count*. It is estimated that the aggregate length ot all the main roads leading to the county line, will not exceed feventy or eighty miles. A sir.all extra tax on the farms most benefit ed along the line of such roads would swell the hundred thousand dollars from the county to a sum sufifcier.t to make the roads to the countv line perhaps as good as the best streets in the city. Besides other benefits, farms in the county and property in the city, would be enhanced in value more than the amount thus expended. Other connties, or townships would probably extend the roads, it we improve them to the county line and thus add to the benefit derived by....Terre Haute.

A meeting ot citizens to form some plan respecting the improvement ot the toads should be held at once.

There p.re many merchants and otheis who are deeply interested in this matter. All that is needed is concert of action. The GAZETTE has no fear that the farmers will not perform their part. Let some gentleman start a paper calling a meeting, say two weeks hence- Let all who sign it pledge themselves to attend the meeting, and bring as many of their neighbors as .... possible. If the matter is slighted or delayed now, spring and summer will ccme when there is no urgent need of action and another disastrous winter—we speak advisedly—will overtake 11s unprepared as ever. .Who will start the [aper?

B. F. HAVEN'S.

The name of lion. B. F. ivens is being mentioned in the connection with the congressional race in the Terre Haute di&trict. We have the honor oft an extended,acquui:itar,ce with Mr. Havens and feel th it he has all the elements to make a cTrcng, vigorous, succtesssul canvass. Whtle a member of the Legislature, with which we were officially connected, Mr Havens, then a new member, was recognized at once as a bold, and energetic leader, and through his quick discernment, untiring per.-istency and great personal force, came out of that session a gallant victor. We are sitirfied hi* selection will be in harmony ,vith the time*, that his Democracy will give him prestige, and the people a representative worth their most cordial support.—Auburn (DeKalb County) Courier.

CONCERT.

The choirs of Otter Creek Church, Davis and Washington school houses, met at the Otter Creek church house, on Saturday night, Feb., the and, 1S7S, and held a concert. The house was well filled with listeners, whose profound silence, eager attention, and pleasant countenances, told that the music surpassed all expectation. The class was led by Prof. William Cottrell, ot Rosedale, bv whom thev were taught to sing.

Although the class had no practice, except one term of eighteen lessons, yet the teachings of Cottrell are always so plain, his manner so pleasant, and so kind, that no teachable mind can fail to understand if they try. The organic acompaniments were played with excellent taste and good effect by Mr. Wright Kay, of Coal Bluff. The organ is a well toned instrument belonging to Mr. Kay. And under ihe skillful touch of fingeis filled to the utmost every requirement. While he played Nearer Home,Over the River, I Love the Lard, and other heavenly strains, accompanied with the voice of the singers, every emotion of the heart seemed to be awakened, and every mind borne to that land where the harps are of gold and songs ever new.

The Otter Creek choir fcr singing once met, And was led by their teacher so gav*. The organ was brought, none will forget

To the EDITOR of tho GAZKTTK. The Republicans held meeting at Otter Creek *chool ho.ise last-night which was ver" l.trgtly attended. Speech** were m:idf by several of the most prominent, and townnhip atter', were thoroughly di cu-sed. The cundidatcs before ihe convention for townt-liip tiu^tee are Harvey ilwtns and Al. A. v.rcnl.

Prfillip' nom-nation, as four years agope .vithdrew from the convention by requfst of the different townships which left die race between Prtchard and Tolbert, wfth a promise that he shoui be their candidate at the nixi convention. There need be no doubt a* to Jim's loyalty to the greur.hack question, as two years ago Sie was ent as" a delegate to the greenbdbk c-mvention'aiid has aince .-erved on tie greenback committer.
