This Is True.

The Cynthiana Democrat thinks
the good road problem is of more
Importance to the farmer than is
the Democratic primary. 1t says;
"The good road question is of more
Importance to the people of Harri-
son county than the result of an
election. Besides volunteering SER
vices as judges, clerks and sheriffs,
why not arrange joint good roads
primary among Democrats and Re-
publicans, and let each fellow
volunteer to repair every break,
hole and weak spot turnpike that is
about his farm. One days primary
of this kind would furnish the
authorities with splendid base
to work on, and the $l4, 900 appro-
priated this year for roads could
finish the general election with
victory for everybody. This is a
point where patriotism counts"

Stately autumn weaves.
Now the sun, a lover tender

Till she robes the trees in splendor,
And their leaves show bushes red.

When the daylight dies;
Colors rich and glowing,
On the evening skies.
Till the cleaning faEs in glory
Through the trees the red light shines
And they stand, like knights of story,
Waiting for old winters signs.
Slowly down the heavens
Fades the afterglow;

Fresh winds start to blow.
Who says autumn comes IN sadness?
Harvest cheers the heart we know,
And the days are full of gadness,
If well only make them so.
