Roads.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-Lexington has
pontoon bridge across The mighty Missouri
river. and now finds there is something else
to be bridged, 1. e., mud holes. Odessa wants
good roads TO draw trade; Lexington does
also, and most Of all farmers need good roads
to haul the products Of their farms over.
Is it fair to sit idly by and let those enter
pIising cities make th%oroughfares into the
country, while we will enjoy the benefit In
perhaps u greater degree than the city people?
Nov. the advocacy Of good roads has been q

In speaking of the Blair educational

Reagan, of Texas, says. ''If it is passed
into II law, instead of being II benefit TO

cause the states to relax their

when the government furnishes the

LARGEST STRUCTURE ERECTED BY
MAN.
From an Exchange. |

The great pyramid of Ghizeh is the
largest structure of any kind ever
erected by the hand oi man. lis origi
nal dimensions at the base were 764
feet square, and its perpendicular
height in the highest point, ass feet.
1t cover over four acres of ground,
and has been estimated to have cost
not less than Sl45, 200 900. Internal
evidence proves that the great pyr-
amid was begun about the year PHO
b. c., about the time uf the birth Of
Abraham. 1t is estimated that about
5000, 600 tons of hewn stones were
used in its construction, and the cvi-
dence points TO the fact that these stones
were brought a distance of about 700
miles from quarries i'll Arabia.

with the fact staring US in the face, that

ously admonish our brethren to go very
slow in this matter, and if they must
embark in this exceedingly hazardous
business, to do so with very great eau
ton. Ordinarily, if the amount of CAPT

more profitable. Go slow, brethren, in

Willie does steal kiss or two and JesSie's
