THE Louisville Post commenting
upon the war being waged by the
corporations on the new constitu.
tlOn, says: at is not at all likely
that corporations and their agents
would be disturbing themselves
purely for the public good, and in
listening 10 their arguments the
voter should remember this fact.
The logic urged against the consti-
tuition is the logic Of an interested
party. IL the constitution did not
interfere with the privileges now
enjoyed by some of these corpora
tiOns there would be no warfare

Princeton in favor of the new
constitution. He was compliment.
ed with a large audience composed
OF some of the best and most in.
telligent people of the county.
He was particularly scathing in
his remarks about the Courier.

represented and distorted facts in

TAX RAILROADS FOR COUNTY
ROADS.

That is a good plan of road
building that has been started by
the joint efforts of farmers and
town people in Henry county, Mis-
sour. The idea is TO improve all
the roads within FIVE miles of the
town of Montrose, and as the
benefit to the town and to the adj
jacent country will be mutual the
expense will be borne by both.
The town people are raising cash
fund, some have donated material,
and the farmers are coming INTO
the plan with their labor and
teams. just such local move
ments as this would result in Civ
ing every community system of
permanent roads, if there were
any fund from which the State
could extend aid. Perhaps some
of these days all the revenues
raised by railroad taxation may be
used TO create such a fund.

always acceptable to the young ladies on
such occasions.
The scheme was no sooner conceived than
ii was put into execution. The telegraph Of

was written and directed TO Mr.. Is brother

his brother the roses and the eventful even

had got in his work. either at one end of the

him? He was loaded down with bundles,
