Put Gravel on the Roads.

With S14, $50 cash, collected
for that purpose, some impress
sion can be made on the bad
places in the roads, if the mon
ey is only iudiciously used. The
Democrat has always been an
advocate { or solid roads, and it
will continue to lift up it's voice
for improved highways.
Let good part of this money
be used in hauling gravel onto
the worst spots, and continue
this from year to year, ard we
will begin to see our roads i'm
prove,
Marion county has practiced
this for years, and it tells
good story for that section.
They are getting most of their
leading highways solid all the
year round. In this county too
much time is spent in grading
up clay HILLS, which fatten
down the first muddy spell, and
the operation is repeated Bet
ter spend the time hauling
gravel. About Monroe City, in
Marion county and in many
other places the roads are be.
ing made solid. We are falling
to the rear of the procession.
This should not, this need not
be. Every year should see
some Improvement, solid i'm
provements in our roads. Then
there would be hope for the
future --Shelbina Democrat.

You Can't Tell.

An exchange hits the nail on
the head when it says: You
don't know. You can't tell.
You may be on the list, so don't
get gay. If the town was per-
mitted by ballot to Danish ten
of its most desirable citizens.
we are sue we would receive a
whole lot of votes. Did 1t ever
occur to you that your name
might appear on the list of
those who Also Ran? When
you are swiping, your neigh.
bors are swiping you. You
don't know. You can't tell.
There is something to admire ip
every man. No man is entirely
bad. Did you ever think of
that? You are not much better
than those with whom you as
sociate. So for fear the town
will go to voting, AND that you
might be included in the list of
also ran candidates to be invit.
ed to take your foot in your
hand and get out, you should
not be SO clipper in scallawag-
ging others. Did it ever occur
that the knocking habit grows
on you like the whiskey habit?
Well, it does, and if you are
told that you are the biggest
knocker in town you would yet
mad and want to fight. Better
be kind to your fellows and Just
to your neighbors. The town
will be here long after you are
forgotten, just the same.
