More Turnpike Talk.

RIVER VIEW, March 18th II have
read with interest several articles or
free turnpikes from men of gooC
sense and business qualifications from
nearly all sections of our county, and
| regret that the north seems to think
that we of the south want all the
turnpikes. Now, this is not the case.
Ii there is a people on the face of the
earth who ought to want turnpikes,
and use every energy they have to
get good roads it is the people who
live in the soft, marshy country north
of Hopkinsville I lived northeast
of our countyseat several years and
bought cattle all over that part of the
county, at all seasons of the year and
think l ought to know something
about what they need. | would sug-
gest to my friends in that section that
your rich South Christian farmers in
sist upon paying taxes to build and
keep up good turnpikes for them to
travel over, they certainly ought to
acquiesce in the matter and help in
every way possible to carry on the
good work. Pardon me if / make
my letter too long, but l want to
mention the roads that in my judg-
ment are the most important ones
to pike. | regard the Madison
vile road from Hopkinsvile to Davis
coal mines, is the most important
road in the county to the greatest
number of people both north and
south.
The saving on freight of coal alone
t , the people of Hopkinsville, to say
nothing of the country people, would
be sufficient to build that pike in a
little while, and it does seem to me
that our town folks are very stupid
not to have seen it long ago.
Next in Importance are the Butler
e. Cox Mill roads, which will com
plete the main thoroughfare of the
county. Now, suppose the fiscal
court should levy tax of two per
centum on 100000 of listed prop
erty, which would make the nice lit
tie sum of $4,000 a year This
done for two years would pay for all
the pixies that have already been
made, and build ten miles of stand
ard guage pike on all the main roads
in the county and have a balance
sufficient to keep them up for ten
years at least. And if l have cor
rect understanding of the meaning of
the new constitution, it allows the
court to do this very thing. Now,
don't begin to climb mountains be-
fore you get to them, but put your
shoulder to the wheel and let the
sound of the pick and the rattle of
the hammer be heard, reyerberating
among the hills and through the
fertile valleys of the south and north
making sweeter music than was ever
made by the birds of the forest to
those who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows, and you will
soon see old Christian county blossom
as a rose and come to the front where
she belongs.
hope to see the time when every
laboring man, both white and black
in this county, shall have work to do
that will pay him, SO he will not have
to parch corn or steal chickens for a
scant living Friends, think about
this matter and do as Sam Jones adj
vises, EQUITY our little narrow minded
ways, and let us get on a higher
plane of civilization" Yours for
free turnpikes, G G. D.

a Rad Lot of Apples.

When grief is deep seated 1t will come
10 the surface even in moment Of pass
ing joy; and grief is at present deep
seated in the hearts Of Delaware Repub-
licans. Not one Of them all seems more
truly grlef.stricken than the distin'
grished and accurate editor of the
Morning Neios, who was once as bright
and happy as the CLINT of sunset which
rests above his forehead and creeps
shyly down upon his chin.
He had passing pleasure, Thursday,
in contemplating the Republican pros
poets in Maryland, which lie thinks ale
very bright; but Owift upon the heels of
that pleasure stepped his chronic grief.
The pleasure and the grief are both
