THE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.

The Southern Good Roads convention which
will hold forth in New Orleans April and
under the auspices of the New Orleans Progress
i've Union, with the assistance of Governor w. W.
Heard. Hon. John Dymond, President of the
Louisiana Good Roads Association, Hon. Paul
Capdlevie, Mayor of New Orleans, and the COM
blned commercial organizations of the city, should
be one of the most important gatherings that mas.
aeitated the State of Louisiana IN the past twenty
years.
The improvement of the country roads IS some
thing that should appeal to every reader OF this
paper, as it represents factor in the development
of the agricultural areas and in the advancement
of community life, too potent to be disregardea
or nut aside with a mere casual Inspection or
consideration.
In the more popn lous wealthy states OF the
country progressiveness and advanced eiviliza-
ton has followed the development Of the country
roads ia almost given ratio. Farmers are I'M
doubtedly benefited by the improvement OF the
highways generally. because they are enabiettto
reach markets earlier and are put closer in touch
with 4he educational facilities and business centers
as we'll as having better and more direct commu-
nnicafion with the railway lines of their state.
Lonisiana, if il desires to develop along all lines
81 modern progress should strongly support any
movement looking to the improvement OF the
country roads.
The New Orleans convention will undoubtedly
lead to q much more extensive consideration OF
the subject and will probably devote part of
its energies to develop plan systematic road
improvement with state and parochial assistance.
Delegates have been requested from each Of the
| police juries, municipalities and commercial Or
CARNATIONS of this state, and in view of the
extremely low rate which will apply to Newer
leans covering the convention dates given by the
railroads, there IS no reason why these delegates
should not be appointed and should not attend.
| One result Of the New Orleans convention will
be the permanent organization of the Louisiana
parishes in Louisiana Good Roads Association
on as substantial basis and this alone will be a
much needed Improvement.
The necessity for sending delegates to the Good
Roads convention is apparent in order that the
State secure the benefits of so beneficial an agita-
| ton and the parish and community should be
Represented.
| The round trip of one fare plus Is cents is the
rate fixed ny the railroads and tickets will be on
sale April 4th and 5th and trains arriving in
New Orleans up to noon April 9Th, tickets having
| final return limit to April 9Th.

The petition of John Warren was not denied at the recent session of the board of pardons, but was continued to the June session. It is learned that the board is conducting quiet investigation of his crime and the circumstances leading up to it. There seems to be sentiment in many parts of the state that Warren has been sufficiently punished by his imprison- ment of 45 years, and the fact that his petition has been continued justi- fies the belief that he yet has chance of pardon. When the board met two weeks ago the session was attended by two brothers of the prisoner, &C., companied by their wives and mem- bers of their families. One brother now lives at the old homestead in Mansfield and the other brother lives in Willimantic. Both brothers told the board that if it saw fit to pardon John they would care for him the balance of his days. Senator Cor nelius Tracy of Waterbury, Senator Charles O. Cook, ex-Senator John R. Hills and others spoke in favor of the petition. It has been reported that some of the members of the board were inclined to pardon Warren, but unanimous action is required.

Miss M. E. Hersey, principal Of Somers high school, spends the holi- days with friends in South Paris, Me.
 The waste room of the Somersville factory caught fire Saturday, but it was soon under control and not much damage was done.
 Charles W. Pease is home from New Britain with sprained ankles, as 8 result from jumping from the third story window of his boarding house, which was on fire.
 A fine program of stereopticon views. with singing by the choir, for Saturday evening and a service of song for Sunday evening, in the Con- gregational church was planned, but was given up on account of the death of the organist, Prof. Kibbe.
 Prof. Arthur William Kibbe died Saturday morning at his home of kidney disease, from which he had suffered for several years. He was born in Somers February 25, 1S49, and was the son of William H. and Laura (Davis) Kibbe. Prof. Kibbe was musician of superior excellence, and successful teacher of the art on it's various instruments and in voice culture. He spent five years at Will braham academy as pupil and teach CT of music and mathematics, then one year at Boston, making the study of organ music speciality. Removing to New Britain he was employed as organist of the First Baptist and South Congregational churches and professor of music in the state normal school for eight years. Failing health obliging him to resign these positions he returned to his home in Somers, where he has since been en- gagged in the teaching of music to private pupils and in the public schools, and organist of the Congrega- tional church. He also held the offit e of superintendent of public schools in town for several years. He was charter member of the grange and is secretary and one of the directors of the Somers public library. For the past year he has taught music in New Britain for three days in each vsak, returning from his duties there last week only two days prior to his death. MT. Kibbe was an ardent lover of flowers and spent much time in thaiN ' cultivation. He was man of mOds7B and retiring disposition, rare con
 versationalist and possessed ability as writer and composer of music. Of winning qualities of mind and heart, he endeared himself to young and old, and his death has cast gloom over the entire community. MT. Kibbe was unmarried. His mother, aged 83, and sister, Miss Laura s. Kibbe, survive him. Funeral services were held in the Congregational church Monday at ? p. m., Rev. B. P. Root officiating. Prof. Denslow King from Thompsonville presided at the organ and George Steele, also from Thomp- sonville, sang two selections, Re- member Now Thy Creator" and ''He Giveth His Beloved Sleep" Among the floral offerings was large piece extending almost the length of the casket, composed of pinks, hyacintht and ferns, from his pupils, pillow of pinks from Somers grange and g cluster from a friend, MT.
