It invites to its jnembershii) every citizen who believes that the common roads should be improved, and bolicits the fullest and f rankest discussion on all points germane to the general subject. It is in every sense a liberal organization - more moral than pions, moro righteous tlian religious, too practical to be political, and a stranger to creeds, socts and rings. It invites the aid and co-operation of all citizens, and especially of those agricultural and industrial organizations which have been f ormed in the interest of the farmers and the business men of the state. It will publish fom time to time practical information upon the general subject of road construction, and will, through its offlcers and mrabers, agitate the question of good roads at such public gatheringa in the varióos eountiea as would be likely to take an interest in this important movement. lts work and object are founded in pldlantnropy and it deserves the aid and good will of all mankind.
