sum mer to grade a bicycle path between the two points The path was built far away from the usual line of travel and the light travel of the wheels com pressed rather than loosened the sand over which they ran Wheelmen have taken great delight in this path but it bids fair to be completely ruined ere the season closes and cyclists are hot about it Some venal souled people persist in using the path for a wagon road and the tires of their vehicles and hoofs of their horses are rapidly reducing the once smooth and hard track to the consistency of a rough but soft sand pile Common decency alone should keep people from using the path for purposes other than bi- rvcnlincr TTppn nfF thp nath Democratic Convention The democrats of Cherry county are requested to send delegates from their several
