They pass through many hands, from the manu facturer to tho office boy. They are torn olT, folded and carried about through postoftiees In disease stricken localities and sometimes carried in mail bags dirtier than anything. They may givo you diphtheria, smallpox or scarlet fover. They have on tap any kind of disease that you may call for. Therefore, don't llek them. Moisten them with a wet sponge. Tho Bmnkville lirpublimn Is author ity for tho statement that Kx-Treasurer A. O. McWtllinms and board of coun ty commissioners bavo reached an amicable settlement of the differences between them, and Mr. McWUliams paid over $l,4afl.57, the amount shown by the auditors' settlement to have been overpaid him when he made his final settlement upon retiring from tho treasurer's office, excepting an item of $."i4.!)5, unseated taxes which he claimed ho never received. This settlement was agreeable to ail parties, and tho several appeals that were presented to the court, but upon which no decision had boon rendered, wore withdrawn. The washing of roads is duo to two faults in the making of them. One Is tho failure to round the surface, so that tho water may flow off to the sides, Tho other is the absence of culverts to carry off the water that thus flows from tho roadbed. The too common water bars on country roads are an injury, rather than a benefit, for they soon ause tho hollows thug made to become deeper and collect the water, thus be' coming soft; every vehicle passing digs out the hollow and makes it worse, Culverts should be made under the road at proper distances to take the wator from tho side ditches and lead It to the other side, thus checking the flow materially and preventing washing out the ditches. As often as may bo possl bio tho ditches should discharge the water off the road. But even this mothod is only a make-shift: the right way is to take the water of the culverts in covered drains, thus wholly avoiding Jho common washing of the side ditches. It may not be generally known, says the Brock way vlllo lirconl, that bicycle rid. ft bavo rights to use the public thoroughfares which teamsters and drivers are bound to respect. In view of tho rapidly Increasing number of bl cycle riders in this community this want of consideration on the part of drivers is becoming the cause of numer ous complaints Bnd petty annoyancos, It sooms to bo the general Impression that a bicycle rider occupies the post tion of a pedestrian and should dismount and step to ono side when ho meets team or conveyance. This is an error, A bicycle is a conveyance just as much as a carriage and ns such Is entitled to ! half the roud or enough to allow the rider to pass safely. The courts have decided upon tills question, and the driver who wantonly obstructs the road to a bicycle U liable the same as though ho refused to permit another team or conveyance to pass. Another source of annoyance is the efforts of teamsters to keep ahead of whoolmen who approach from behind. Unless the driver turns to one side a little the wheelmen cannot pass, and is compelled to poke along behind a lumbering team In blinding clouds of dust. Many driv ers seem to tuke a malicious delight in thus annoying wheulmen and debarring thein from the common rights and privileges of tho public thoroughfares. It is probably thoughtlessness on tho part of most drivers who do not recog nize a bicycle as a conveyance In tho ethics of the road. It is, nevertheless, just as surely a conveyance as any other wheeled vehicle, and as such Is entitled to all tho privileges of the road enjoyed by any other class. The driver who wuntJnty wrecks one of these machines is amendable to the law and re8Knsible for all the damage he inflicts. Sell and Rent. Tho publisher of a ncwspnMir has one thing to sell and one thing to rent. He as tho newspoper to sell and tho space in his columns to rent. Can anyone In form us why ho should bo expected to givo away cither tho ono or tho other? Ho cnn do so if ho chooses and ho does, ns a matter of practical fact, furnish a great deal of space rent free. But It ocs not follow that he ought to bo ex pected to do so. It ought to be recog nized as a contribution exactly us would the giving away of sugar or coffee by tho groccrymnn. But strange to say, It is not looked upon In that light at all, yet everybody knows that the existence of a newspajier depends as much on the rent of his spaco and tho sale of his paor as merchant's sueoss dojiends on idling his goods Instead of giving them away.

An Intelligent but grasping citizen re cently received an offer made by a New York man to "make a one dollar bill go as far as a five dollar bill." This struck our friend In a tender spot, nnd ns it cost but ono dollar to get the informa tion he enclosed a nice ono dollar bill In an envelope and posted It to tho New York firm. Tho desired information came promptly and was in these words: ''Put both bills In an envelope, address it to somo person In Snn Franslsco, stamp the letter and deposit it in tho nearest Hstonieo." This dollar Invested in his country paper would have saved this humiliation, and besides have giv en him much valuable information. Rrookvillo Drmnrvnt. Thr 'nmna I'lnlit.
