The lead- | ing farmers have taken the matter in hand and the subject is being thoroughly discussed in conventions | being held throughout the state. / The queftion of better roads is not | only of vital importance to the far-) mer, but is likewise equally as ad-| vantageous to the town people and | especially to the county seat. There | is no doubt but that Butler would | be greatly the gainer by having/ good roads leading to the court | house from east to west and north to south, and the citizens of this town and especially the business | men can well afford to strike hands | with the farmer in this important | enterprise. No railway system could | contribute so much to the prosperi- ty of Butler, and no scheme which | has yet been devised will add so| much to the substantial valuesf the farm lands as good roads, and there is no enterprise that will equal them | in promotion of the farmers comfort | Well improved roads leading to But- | be will prove a source of revenue to! | the town that will be substantial and | | permanent. | Nortice—I am prepared to handle all the poultry that comes, and pay the cash for it.
