CHRISTMAS.

What an oasis in the desert of a
busy life. What vision in the
dream of youth. What season
Of glorious awakening for the
little heads with faxen curls.
What a time Christmastide.
This is the favorite, a pretty pic
ture, but what of the other-Mis-
fortune. This is the time when its
reflection is misery, when its real
ization is hell. Side by side Christ
mas strikes the contrast and ex-
poses the view The man who
sees them opens his purse strings
to the unfortunate. The man who
does not see them is blind with
selfshness and sordidness. There
is no religion in his soul. 1t is
withered. And yet
1.-THE world goes round and round,
And some go up and some go down"
Who knows who the unfortunate
will be a year hence, and what
difference to us is the cause of the
fall. Enough to know that it is
fact. Suppose the wretched are
to blame. Would some of us be
riding in gilded cars while others
are walking if sin had never en-
tered the world9 How would the
rich enjoy themselves If there we're
no poora Without the grandstand
vanity would lose its glamor. Then
pay the price with charity. II is
cheap enough, the while you are
giving your soul taste of heaven.
Then, if you are able, why not
not gladden. the heart of an un-
fortunate brother. Wonder how
much of the milk of human kind
ness will 60 out this Christmas in
Union City. Wonder how much
charity will be dispensed by the

Good Roads Convention here last
Monday. 1t was also agreeable to
witness the unanimity of opinion
upon the subject. The subject of
issuing bonds was laid aside alto.
gether as a present medium OF
supplying funds for the improve
ment of the public highways, and
n general consensus prevailed as to
the manner and method of accom-
plishing the work. One point,
however, was not brought out
very forcibly, and that was the
kind of roads we should have, the
material to be used and the plan
upon which they should be made.
Everybody was agreed as to the
steel bridges, but no definite ideas
Of the roads came out OF. the sug-
vestions at this meeting. This
leaves the greatest of all the prob
lems vet unsolved. 1t was sug-
oested that we could not practi-
caIly enter upon the construction
Of hard or macadamized road
that the cost would be too great,
Then what kind of roads will
we haves
II seems that every other point
was covered by the convention
hut that. and in the absence of it
there was room for another good
speech. Now we propose to give
the salient points which should
form the theme Of that speech.
First we lay down the propo-
zion that there is no middle
ground between soft and hard
roads in Obion County.
Upon this point we challenge
successful contradiction. The test
has been made upon the streets Of
I1nsop City. In the business sec
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-12-14

ton the streets we're graded anC
covered with gravel years a go.
They were ovaled and rolled, and
yet it is absolutely necessary tc
put on an additional layer Of gray
ell nearly every year. Whyg Be
cause the gravel sinks through the
soil or the dirt of this country.
Therefore gravel for the country
roads will be useless unless it is
cemented into a solid, hard layer
covering the entire road surface,
thereby making a hard road, other
wise the gravel would have to be
used every year to fill cavities and
washouts. Therefore this propo
sition would cost the county more
than hard surfaced roads.
Then what do we sayg
First, give us the steel bridges.
Build no more wooden bridges.
Don't throw away money on them.
It's an extravaganza in the long
run and waste of money. No one
disputes the bridge proposition.
Then give us the steel bridges
first, and while you are dong this
grade and oval the roads; make
them high enough in the center to
turn the water. Give them plenty
of drainage. Go over them the
second and third time and keep
filling and rolling. After all this
is done, several years time will
have been consumed and the coun-
ty will be we'll up in the progress
of road work. Then it will be soon
enough to determine what kind of.
a surface you want and how to
make it. But, for goodness sake,
don't throw away money expert
menting with gravel in this county.
Don't waste the money that way.
In grading and oyaliDg the roads
we are making a road bed. The
money expended that way is not
lost. But if we do not be careful
a mistake will be made in under
taking to make turnpikes in this
country. When we have done the
work as suggested in this article
then we can proceed with the prop
or advice to surface the roads. We
will have the foundation and can
then determine intelligently thel
plans for the future. It win be
much more practical then to talk
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-12-14

about and arrange for hard roads
than it is now.
The system of working the roads
has been amply ventilated and the
suggestions are good. Give us
two supervisors and let them have
their section bosses and crews like
the railroads. Til e results will
show for themselves.
And this is what we need.

co,,e "a (NLn,at,1o

1919 10 W Il q q NOhtOli POI al
says of Christmas:
A merry Christmas to grown people
and merry Christmas to the chill
dren! And let it be a happy Christ
mas; for the one day put away wor.
ries and disagreeable feelings, and en-
ter into the real spirit of Christmas.
which is to give happiness into some
human life 1t is not in the giving of
| presents alone that is the true Christ
mas; it is in bestowing kind words,
kind looks and smiles where there is
not always sunshine. Why do people
so often think Christmas a burden,
and wish TIL e holiday season past?
Why should the sad nd sorrowful
look forward to it as a dread annJ-
yersary? This is the worst form of
|seltishness. Christmas should be a
day Of self-forgetfulness and OF think
ing of some one else's life, and how it
can be made brighter. There is a
great deal of sadness and worry in
all stations Of life, and a few cherry
words, accompanied by a smile, gives
great encouragement and costs but lit
tie effort.
And the childrenl Does anyone ever
notice the wistful faces peerlng into
the fascinating shop windows at this
season, and remember that probably
this is their owners only glimpse of
Christmas? That in their whole mis-
cradle existence never a penny has
been handled by them as their very
own? Let the childless one and the
sorrowful one, as well as those who
daily take their walks abroad, think
OF this, and each one In his own way
do his best to gladden. some life, and
by doing SO feel by Christmas night
that there is something after all worth
doing and living for in this old world,
and the new year will be prepared for
by ending the old one we'll.
