Lazarus vlnson Loses His
Life at Catlettsburg.

On last Sunday morning the
dead body Of Lazarus Vinson was
found in the street which passes
under theapproach TO the G. a o.
railroad bridge at Hampton, the
upper suburb OF Catlettsburg. tie
was first missed by his son soon af-
ter dark Saturday night, but not
much apprehension was felt for his
safety during the night. II was
supposed he had gone 10 spend the
night with q relative. He was at
Catlettsburg with about $1,000 worth
Of timber and had sold or contract
ed II that day.
When last seen by his son Lafay-
cite, Mr., Vinson had only about Sl2
In money on his person. This and
the pocketbook containing II were
missing from the corpse when
found. The body was bruised, one
arm broken, and the head badly
wounded.
There are conflicting theories as
TO the cause Of his death. Some
think he was thrown from the
bridge by a train, while others in
sist that he was murdered and his
body placed there TO mislead the
public. There seems to be no clue
whatever, and II ii is "A case OF
murder there appears TO be but lit

miles above Louisa, on the West
Virginia side. He was one OF the
most honorable and highly respect
ed men in this section. He is the
father Of fifteen children, and
amongst his sons are found some OF
the very best citizens Of our coun.
ty. The news Of his sudden and
deplorable death caused profound
sorrow In this vicinity.
The body was brought 10 this
place Monday evening and taken
TO the residence OF his son, Marshal
James Ninson. The next morning
the remains were taken TO the old
home place and buried in the fam,
lily grounds.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Shall We Have Roads 2

i lit IOdu UutHllOn - dSuin CUM
ing TO the front IN Lawrence coun-
ty. Tie great need Of passable
roads is forcing the people to a state
of mind which they have not be-
fore known on this matter. II Is
becoming evident to all that no
considerable progress can be made
until a system Of thoroughfares
shall have been established, and
provision made for their mamie
nance.
The building Of good roads Is ex-
pensive, even though they be only
dirt roads, and therefore the great
necessity Of proceeding in the prop
or manner. When done properly
and economically, the expense is
fully justified.
Lawrence county has no funds
available for this purpose and will
not have until the levy OF 1896
The fiscal court has the power to
levy poll tax, and special tax of
not exceeding % cents upon each
500 worth forroad purposes. The
question with them is whether they
shall exert this power and under
take the work OF giving the people
good roads.
tits serious undertaking; and
if begun, the court should go at it
in Il business-like manner. After
due deliberation they should de-
eide upon a plan OF action and chew
to the lIne,n regardless Of the "pull-
ing and hauling" which they will
encounter with regard to almost
every detail.
There Is no doubt that good dirt
roads can be built and maintained
Our sister county OF Boyd has dem
onstrated that fact beyond dispute
The secret lies in providing prop
or drainage, with due regard for
the location Of the road, OF course
Boyd's roads are we'll drained by
bitches, which are relieved by sub.
stantial culverts wherever needed
The most important point in the
whole matter--neXt TO getting the
money, and that is hardly subordi,
nate--is TO secure competent, hon
est man OF experience, possessing 9
practical knowledge OF engineer
ing, to take charge Of the work
Such a man will demand higher
wages than an incompetent one, o
course, but TO talk about spending
any considerable amount OF none.
in any other way out Of the ques
ton 1t is a false idea OF econom.
which would prove 10 be a mos
expensive policy. The amour
saved in the difference of salar
would be too insignificant to consid
er.
Supervisors are not referred TO il
this connection. Perhaps Their
would be duties for such an Office
also. The actual work Of locating
and building is what an enginee
is needed for, J
There is not a road in the count
which is properly located for an,
considerable distance. The cour
should assert its power in regard t.
getting a good route when such
refused in any locality.
Several years ago the Boyd,cour
~ authorities took up the matte
OF roads and built good ones. TIL
expense was quite heavy, OF cours'
and the promoters were unmerc
fully "cussed y but now the bless
ings Of the people rest upon tn
heads of those progressive men.
Nothing toward road buildin
may be done soon, but the subje,
needs attention, aud the demand
are growing steadily.
