FOUR MILES ROCK ROAD.
liz. T. Palmer Secures Contract for
Making Rock Road.

Making Rock Road.
The committee which has in
charge the construction Of the rock
road on the st. Louis road awarded
the contract to E E. Palmer.
he contracts to build four miles
of good rock road, IL feet wide. and
II inches deep in center and sloPing
to s inches deep at the edges. no
gravel or rock more than 2 inches
In it's greatest diameter is to be
used. the total cost of the four miles
is to be $4,000.
A few people laughed at the Sun
when we started out for "Good
Roads" last January. but the people
of ths county are almost a unit for
good roads aud we all rejoice In this
beginning
The Bellamy road will be next
The above is taken from the Sun,
published at Fulton, Galloway Co,
Mo and goes to show what can be
done and what is being done in the
way of public road improvement in
some of the counties OF the State,
aud the cost at which the work can
be done. II this work can be done
in Galloway county where rock Is
scarce at q cost of 50 800 fer four
miles of macadsn, the work certainly
eurht TO be done in this county
where material is plentiful and easy
of access at less cost
The TINS hopes TO see the day
near at hand when the matter 81
substantially improving the roads OF
Bates county will be taken up and
pushed vigorously. Besides the
comfort and ease with which farmers
can pet to market with their pro
ducs. nothing adds so much to the
value of lands as we'll equipped
Highways
Good roads must eminate from
the push and energy of the farmers
xbo are more interested IL the mat

ditch with horse lying on top of him

But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart

unfold
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart,
Time will reveal the calyxes Of gold.
And II, through patient toll, we reach the
land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, |
may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,

A TELEPHONE DEAL OFF.

The schcme for telephone commun-
icatiOn with Lynchburg has for the pre-
sent practically fallen through. The
Lexington Telephone Company pro-
posed to build one-half of the line from
this place down the river by the way OF
Balcony Falls, and at the same time the
company in Lynchburg was to build
out from that city and put up one-half
of The line: Recently the Lynchburg
company commenced line to Amherst
and desired the Lexington company to
change from the former route selected.
The Lexington company went over
the newly proposed route and found
that it was not practicable for the COM
pany to build line over q mountain
which would not have any intermediate
stations on 1t. So. for the present, the
deal between the two companies is off.
