Since the last writing on the sub
ject l have been giving 1T some study
as to what system would be proper
and right for the roads to be kept in
repair, that there would be no dis
elimination for or against anyone. The
first step would be to have a law en-
acted by which money could be raised
sufficient for keeping of the roads. II
mean pixies and dirt roads, as all are,
and should be the Same), by taxing
each male citizen, say 81 per head to
be paid on roads, and let it be worked
out at a specified amount per day, or
pay the money to a treasurer or over
seer elected by the district in which
he is to oversee, after first cutting the
county up into districts, of say % miles
to the district the officer SO
elected to be responsible man with a
good bond, that he will keep the roads
SOoN ASPohS anu IL CuC pun CdA VI
So is not enough to do the work, then
a certain specified amount ad valOrem
tax to do the roads justice. This plan
does work in the State of Illinois
where the roads are as good as can be
had in any country that has no metal
to spread as we have this plan will put
a stop to few men stopping while GO
ing to town and looking at a pile of
rock and lay in claim for a days work
at 50 as is the case now.
We object to paying tax for the re-
pairing of the pixies and no part of it
used nearer than to miles of us.
Now the man that will promise to use
all of his influence toward this end
will be the kind of man for both pOlit-
ical party to put out to represent us
in the state legislature, and if they
will not do that seek out for some one
that will. This will be equal for the
masses, and the classes can look out
for themselves; there will surely be
some to object, which we will call the
classes.

When the above term is Sifted tC

lat it can be truthfully applied to
but very few people. There are many

extent will their friendship go? When

oppol tunity of dividing his last penny
with anyone in need; one who will 60

about you, then you can call him your
true friend. Such man was
JOHN X. FAULKNER, JR.,
whose sad death was noted in recent
issue of THE RECORD. Had John
Faulkner boarded up, and guarded
like bulldog the dollars he made, he
would have been a rich man, but he
was not of the tight-fisted. narrow
minded kind, and when he earned
money he wanted, not himself alone,
but his friends to enjoy it, and those
with whom he mingled were called in
to share in it's enjoyment. "MOnk, y
as his .chums Familiarity called him,
was boy of deep sense. and had a
keen eye for the ridiculous. He could
make fun out of anything, and many
of his original sayings will long be re-
membered. ''MOnk'' Faulkner, /
know, had done more favOrs for men
than nineteen his of the people who
parade themselves as charitable, "
but he did them in quiet way, and
when he helped anyone he never pro-
claimed the fact from the hOuSetOps,
as is the custom with many people to-
day. When he liked a man he would
stand by him, come what may. He
had a contempt for anyone who would
"hOney around" people and then flee
when the hour came to test the So
called friendship. He had many of
the traits of his noble father, the la
mented Colonel John X. Faulkner,
and had that gentlemanly instinct
which always made it's presence known.
/ am not going to say he had no faults,
for he was a human, and, of course,
was not perfect. No man is perfect on
this earth, though some proclaim
themselves to be, and Immediately kill
their assertion by prOclaiming the
faults of Others. But if good deeds,
an honest heart, willing hand, true
conscience and liberal pocket-boOk
tend toward lettering ones chances
in the great beyond, John X. Faux
ner is now where he sees no trouble,
hypocrisy, stinginesS and Slanderers
That he is safe on the breast of a low
ing SAVIOUR is my prayer and earnest
belief.
