—To Build Roads Now Bor

_
Editor of Independent.
Much has been said about good
loads and different opinions
about them; still too much can
not be said so that all the people
may get some idea about the
I different roads and sum them all
, up and see what is the most
practicable.
I would suggest that whether
! the county votes for a bond issue
| or not that she take all her con
jvicts to some point where the
! rock can be as easily had as pos
sible and work them in the quar
ries, getting out and loading
stone for the various roads in
the county and keep them at it.
You cannot have too much of
this material. Then start your
good road already built, pay
each farmer who comes to town
over this road and is going to re
turn empty to haul a load of
| stone to the end and in this way
each farmer who travels this
way would soon become inter
esieu in iiitj ruau uusmtsss <uiu
!you could haul the stone and
build your roads with free labor
and do it cheaply too, as each
farmer would haul a load back
with him more cheaply than you
could get teams to go with a load
and return empty. It seems to
me this would be a good idea
without the road system as the
as the case may appeal to the
people, but the drily way in my
judgment for quick work is to
borrow the money to build the
roads.
Yours respectfully,
W. B. CHASTAIN.
Who Needs The Roads.
To the Farmers of Jackson Co.:
Stop, Think twice before you
vote against the proposed
act for a Good Road system in
YOUR hom(e county. Answer
1 these questions:
Who travel the county roads
' most?
Who need roads to come to
1 town?
* Who need roads to haul farm
’ products to market ?
Who need roads to drive over
: to attend church?
! Who need roads to bring the
■ doctor for sickness?
Who need roads to increase
! the value of their farms?
> Who need roads to make life
; in the country a pleasure?
} These will all be yours if you
< vote for the road improvement
' district, if not, then you choose
- mud noies wnere roads snould
be. A system to spend taxes,
j you must pay, and for which
you get no permanent benefits.
[ A chance to break your wagon
every time you come to town
c with half a load. And a better
chance to owe the blacksmith
’ for repairs- The dirt road of
100 years ago is now worn out
^ and should be covered with ma
cadam road.
1 You pay 3 mills road tax;
- what have you for roads?
.T You can pay 5 mills tax and
1 get 193 miles of rock road, built
- by experts and controlled by

Willard Memorial Service.
The annual memorial service
to Miss Frances E. Willard was
held at the home of Mrs. T. P.
Umpsted Wednesday afternoon,
and was one of the most enthu
siastic meetings ever held by
the W. C. T. U.
More than fifty ladies were
present to do honor to the mem
ory of this sainted woman, who
gave her life to the cause. An
interesting program of music
and readings on the life of the
deceased was enjoyed, which
was followed by refreshments
of cream and cake.
A very generous offering was
contributed for the national
work, the entire afternoon being
very much enjoyed.
