The Salvation army that '1 as been holding religious rerviccs on St. corners in Bloomington every night of late, was “run in’’ last Saturday n igh t in com pi i an ce with an ordinace passed by the city council. ' We guess the councils religion is getting a little thin during these hot summer days and 1 they don’t want to lie bothered hearing about the temperature of the hereafter, especially on Thursday and Saturday nights,vso pass/ ed an ordinance that no such services be held and block the streets |on these nights. The religion is all right as ’ far as it goes and reaches man}" people that the churches do not, but it is very trying on anyone who has some business to see to and tries to get around the square.” Capt.

MORE ABOUT GOOD ROADS.

To The Smithville News: The article on good roads in last weeks hsue* of yom paper should inspire every good citizen to put forth extra efforts to improve the road's at once. Especially should mail routes be looked after as the law requires. I am not a patron of a rural route, but I notice the roads on some of them A man that gets his mail every day and then abuses the carrier because he asks that the bad roads be repaired or his mail box properly adjusted, should be ashamed of himself. His mail service should be cut out at once, but as such men receive very little mail the punishment would be very light. The postoffice department insists on good roads on rural routes, the state daw is very strict and should be enforced if officials and the public will not volunteer to do their duty for their own individual benefit as well as that of the mail carrier. If an official receives notice of defective roads he is liable to a fine of- from one to twenty-five dollars for every day over five that he neglects them. * In some localities patrons do extra work in order to have better roads than, their neighbors. I imagine a carrier would have, a very kind feeling for such patrons. Next to the mail carrier the doctors are interested in good roads. To travel over a well graded smooth road on „ a dark stormy night would be more agreeable and less dangerous than over ruts mud holes and „ boulders. Let everybody lend a hand. —Citizen,
