WE'D, APRIL 4, 1906

The Fiscal court is now IN SEES
sion and the many pulses that
beat to the tune of advancement
and progress will be in suspense
until that body has outlined a
policy that will lead to better con-
ditions in this county. The two
overshadowing questions now be-
fore, the court, and the two most
all our'people feel a deep interest
in, the two that will add more to
the growth and prestige of Adair
county are, roads and bridges.
We can not state, neither can we
foreshadow the action OF the
court on either or both of these
questions for we do not know but
to the point we wish to state,
that never before in the history
of this county has there been a
more real desire for good roads
and more bridges. This paper
has contained from one to two
columns of interviews each week
from January LIST to date, bear
ing on the aforesaid questions,
and with but few exceptions,
every citizen has not only ex-
pressed a desire for such improve
ments, but urgently demanded
that a move for good stone roads
be inaugurated. The prevailing
sentiment is for the purchase OF
a stone crusher and its use eco
nomically applied. It is our
judgment that a crusner should
be purchased and where ever the
people will aid the county in max
ing the road, there put it to work.
Beyond a doubt our roads are
in al fearful condition, and some
line of action that will result in
making macadam roads should
be instituted. The heavy tax pay
ers are ready and demanding that
something be done and if the
Court ever intends leading out on
progressive lines now is the most
Opportune time. We trust that
these important questions will
not. be lightly considered and
that the Court will start a work
that will result in great good to
the county.

The Spectator, last week, cred
tied. Mr.. M. Rey Yarberry with
keeping Adair county in the Elev-
enth Congressional district. Mr..
Yarberry has done many things
politically, we admit, but to sit
in Washington, D. c., and by
pen and wire, ink and electricity,
dictate and control a strong Dem
ocratic Kentucky Legislature, is
possibly the greatest political feat
ever performed by a Republican
in this State. Mr.. Yarberry is a
young man well endowed and
-schooled in the institution of Re
publican policies; he has shown
skill and aptness. in turning salt
to sugar, wrath to love and de-
feat to victory. That Mr.. Var
berry and a few other Republi.
cans are credited with defeating
the intent of a Democratic Legis.
lature is indeed most remarkable.
There is no difference between
the real article and first class
taffy so far as the recipient is
concerned, but sugar coated pei.
