A suggestion has been made by
Judge II. F. Vlnson that the peo-
pie hold road meetings in their
respective districts to arouse in
terest In this most important OF all
questions now before the people OF
Lawrence county. 1t is regret
able fact that many of our citizens
take the wrong view of the road
proposition. They have learned to
look upon IL as one Of the burdens
that should be lodged just as
much as possible by each indivi-
dual. This is IA selfish and disas-
trous position. If every citizen
could bring himself to realization
OF the fact that he owes something
to his community and to the pub
lie In general, how much better
aud more prosperous our country
would be. Thepeople Of no section
ever had a greater opportunity
along this line than the citizens OF
the mountains Of Kentucky now
have in this road matter. If all
would join hands and use to the
best advantage not only the means
provided by the laws and officials,
but organize and do more than
that In actual work, the results
would be surprising. Good roads
would bring such prosperity to this
mountain country rs we have
never known before. Our farmers
would be encouraged TO produce
larger and more varied crops be-
cause they could then get them to
good market at small cost.
We not only lndorse Judge Vim
sons Recommendation, but 90 far
Their and suggest that we organize
all over the county and take up
this great work in an earnest and
practical manner. We should be
glad to hear from volunteers in
every precinct.

Veteran Conductor on the Northwest
ern Gives up His Work and Re-
moves to RavenSW00d.
20 YEARS ON A SINGLE RUN.
Held the Record of the Road for Years of
Quarter of Century In Service

Thomas L. Moore, of this city, VIII ,
has a record for long service as con.
ductor on the Chicago & Northwest
ern railway, has retired from his po-
sition and with his wife has gone to
Ravenswood TO make his home in the
future. It is said that Mr.. Moore has
retired for years. furlough, but his
friends who know him best state he
will never be seen in his old familiar
position again.
The record that Mr.. Moore has es-
tablished is one that is not equalled by
any other conductor in Wisconsin and
it is probable that nowhere in the
country is there man who has been
on single run for so long time.
Twenty-Five years ago Conductor
Moore was placed in charge of the Ke-
nosha accommodation train running
between Kenosha and Chicago. and
almost every day since that time he
has collected the tickets on this train.
He has become fixture to the road
and when George Mitchell went on as
conductor of the train few days ago
it seemed that the entire running sys-
tenn of the road must have been
changed. Many times during the two
decades Mr.. Moore was offered other
trains and better runs, but he always
preferred the Kenosha accommodation
train. The train leaves the city every
morning, except Sunday at seven
O'Clock and gets back to the city at six
O'Clock in the evening. It is one OF
the slowest trains on the road and stops
at every station between Kenosha and
Chicago.
When Conductor Moore first took
charge of the trains there were only a
few stops to be made but in the twenty
years the development of the lake
shore and the building of dozens of
little cities has made necessary numer-
Gus stops so that now half the schedule
time of the train is taken up in max
ing these stops.
Mr.. Moore is one of the best known
men in the employ Of the Northwest
ern company and he has been in the
employ of the company for SO many
years that he hardly remem bers any
other paymaster. Thirty five years
ago he started work in the shops Of
the company in Chicago and in a
short time he was advanced to the role
of firemen on engine. In due time
the promotion to engineer came and
one of his first trips was made on the
engine of the Kenosha accommodate
train. 1t was twenty-seven years ago
that he made his first run on the
engine and at the end of FIVE years
he was advanced to conductor of the
train and he has held the position
ever since.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore have resided in
Kenosha since that time and have
been we'll known in society.

that Mr.. Baker is candidate for re-
