Wellington News that some unfortunate
descendant OF Walton stole a can OF
fish worms from George Larberg last
week. But it is very strange, as George
was never known to labor enough t.
secure a can of worms, and yet more
remarkable the fact that all of the past
history Of Wellington fails to
develope any record where a CIT zen
was accused of stedling fish bait prior
to the date when the new editor
of the News arrived from Dixie.

Good Roads Convention.

|
The INTELLIGENCER IS IN receipt of
the following letter:
Columbia, Mo-, May LIST, 1906.
DEAR SIR:-You have doubtless
read the recent decision of Judge
Marshall which nulliies the special
road and bridge tax OF 15c, passed by
the legislature in 1900. Iu view of
the fact that we had planned extensive
improvements on many of u main
roads, this comes as a. tremendous
disappointment to the people Of Boone
county at this time and no doubt 1t
embarrases your people IN a similar
way.
We believe that the betterment Of
country roads is today the biggest
domestic problem in Missouri: affecting
the material welfare of every inhahitant
and especially every farmsr 10 the
state, 1T has received less attention
than any other question. We believe
the time has come for concerted action
in this matter-that the time is ripe
for the various county courts Of
Missouri to get together and agree
upon some of the plans which will
give us ample funds, with which to
inaugurate substantial road improve
meuts all over the state.
Let us see to 1t that Missouri takes
the lead for better roads. Let us get
together and go over this great
question in all its various phrases,
agree on some sound plan and then
see to 1t that the coming Legislature
enacts it in;o law. This duty belongs
10 the various county courts who are
the direct representatives of the
people in matters of this kind. The
task is a ig one and there is no time
to lose; to this end, we ask that your
honorable court, or at least one
representative Of it, meet with us on
May 18th, to discuss this great question
At that time we will procure the
attendance of the Attorney General
and other state officials to the emo that
our deliberations may have the benefit
Of their counsel. We will also have
with us Secretary Ellis of the Stale
Board Of Agriculture who lives bere
and who has given good roads much
thought. Rest assured that we can
render no greater service to or
counties and to the state than to aid in
the solution of this vexatious problem.
Nothing Will add so much to the fame
OF Missouri abroad or so materially
enhance her land values at home, as
some good law which will enable us to
put our country roads in first class
condition. Kindly bring this matter
to the attention OF your court at your
e~arliett convenience and advise us
whether we may expect your
cooperation.
Columbia is centrally located and
we will guarantee to take good care oil
you while you are here.
Sincerely Yours,
@. @. TURNER,
S. N. WOODS,
], S. BEDFORD,
Judges of the Boone County Cour TT.
