printed. and il is good one. Hudson was
collector for Knox, tho halter, when he

HON. L. A. eooDMAN's ADDRESS.
SATURDAY MORNING SESSION.

IHIOAo-N
Judge Thomas A. Catron, of Lexington,
was the first speaker, his subject being
"Roads." Because of the already length
Of this article we must be more brief in
what shall follow, but let it be understood
that the proceedings of Saturday were of
no less Importance than Friday.
Judge Catron began by saying that if it
were possible he would advocate a sys-
TEN of macadamized roads in this county,
and suggested that the farmers petition
the county court to levy a special tax on
personal and real property for this pur-
pose. He argued that road beds should be
twenty feet wide and two feet high. He
spoke about thirty minutes and left on an
east bound train to fill an engagement at
~Higglnsville.
Judge Catron is a forcible speaker and is
possessed with Il good deal of magnetism.
He is a candidate for county collector, and
will make an efficient officer should he be
nominated.
Mr.. A. b. Hatch, a well known pro-
gressive farmer of near Odessa, followed
in a short talk upon the same subject.
His statements were of a personal expe-
rience and We're told in his usual matter
