Organize good road clubs. Get
every association of business men,
farmers, every newspaper, to push
along the good road movement.
There are few other things more
important to the people of agricul
tural communities and rural towns
than the good roads proposition,
,ays D. Nj. Carr in Home Trade
Advocate 1t is something that
every good citizen should be inter
ested lii. 1t is question o. the
greatest elements oe economy.
Good roads throughout the farming
districts Of the country mean mil
lions upon millions OF dollars yearly
saved to the farmers. They mean
Mullins more in benefits to the rural
towns.
Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1906-04-27

as moral and religious motto.
While there have only been two
tax payers OF the county 20 respond
to our invitation of Two weeks ago
to give some expression on the
"good road" question, yet there
are hundreds of citizens in the
county who favor the bond issue
FOR the building of good roads, and
will cast their votes for the same,
when the opportunity is given.
Some. who were square out against
the bond issue when the vote was
to have been taken six years ago,
are now strictly in favor of it and
one glorious feature of the situation
is that there is not a single man
who favored the bond issue six
years ago. who is against it now
Why should we improve our roads?
The reasons are many and varied.
1t means the bringing ola new pop
ulatiOn to Rockcastle; it means the
improvement both mentally and
morally of those already in Rock
castle; it means where we have one
dollar now in the course of few
years we will have ten. 1t means
where land is worth S. all acre now
it will be worth $40 an acre then:
it means that the man who raises
corn can get it to the market and
get reasonable compensation for
his labor; it means that it will be a
great source of encouragement to
those who labor and till the soil
because they will find a ready mar
ket for their farm products; it
means the better ment and strength
of our schools; it means the deposi,
of more money IN our banks; il
means the building of more resi-
dences in our towns; i: means the
starting OF more enterprises in the
county. Every citizen in h {
county realizes that some kind OF
improvement on the roads is nee
essary and they realize still .furthe
that as long as the roads are work
ed only by the militia that ther,
will be little improvement. In tint
progressive age in which we ar,
now living, the individual, the com
munity, the town, the county O
the state which makes no effort t,
; hold footing on the great whee
, of progress and advancement, ca,
hope for nothing more than an I'm
envied position, way in the beck
! ground. There are many thing
which we need and ought to have
t but all pass into obscurity whe,
compared with good roads. Wi
our citizens not rise to the full i'm
pOrtance of the situation and ioi
| in this noble effort? Let us hav
an expression now. your neighbo
is very anxious to know how yo
stand. This means you.

that the cost Of insurance is too high

TO COME INTO HIS RIGHTS
Land in iron Country TO Be A. Last Vacat-
cd and Operations Begun.

County Land Agent Miller appeared
before the board of supervisors yester-
day in the interests OF X. Skiff Sheldon
regarding an option on two sections Of
land in the Iron country. This option
was granted some eight months ago, a
previous option held at the time by
George Voos having expired says the
Houghton Mining Gazette.
The law requires that in the case Of
options operation shall begin within
ten days after the official granting Of
the same. and Mr., Sheldon has been
more thar willing TO obey this law,
but has been unable to do SO, by reason
Of the persistent refusal Of Voos to
vacatc.
Mr. Miller has repeatedly written to
Mr. yoos in regard TO the matter but
the latter has always evaded any de-
finite action by promising to pay the
taxes and other expenses, amounting
at this time to over s., OO0. in the near
future.
More serious steps which have re-
Gently been taken against Noos and

sheriff have had results leading TO the
belief that ho II about ready ID vacate,
