A GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

The onalgovernment through
its department of agriculture is
going TO inaugurate campaign
of education in the interest of
good roads, and an appeal has
been made to the press of the
country to aid in the dissemina-
tion of it's propaganda. The fol-
lowing communication, received
by the editor a day or two ago
from Director Page of the public
roads department OF the agricul-
tural bureau, fully explains the
p an to be pursued, as we'll as
giving some interesting statistical
information in relation TO public
highways:
"Statislics recently compiled
by this Office show that there are
nearly 100000 miles Of public
roads in this country, only a small
percentage of which are i'm mprov-
ed. Necessarily it will be many
years before a large percentage
OF this great mileage will be i'm
proved, aud in the meantime ii
is OF the utmost Importance that
we make the best possible use of
facilities at hand. An expendi-
ture of nearly $8O,0000OO per
annum is being applied to the
maintenance of these roads, and
It is safe TO say that the loss from
improper methods is we'll UP in
the millions.
There are certain principles
which underlie the art of road
building and maintenance, and
certain methods known TO many
engineers and road builders which
are easily understood and as cas-
lily put into practice Unfortu
nately, these simple principles
and methods are not universally
known.
The press is the only agency
through which it is possible to
reach every road district in the
country and insure general cor.
slderation of the subject. | there
fore ask your cooperation In a
great educational campaign to be
conducted through the columns
OF the newspapers in each coun.
ty in the United States.
Our plan is to send out to each
paper once a month plaln,
practical article of about 1900
words in length, designed to give
such information as can be easily
to local road conditions.
We ask that you give this article
a prominent place in your paper,
and conduct in connection with
it question column in which
your readers may set forth the
difficulties they encounter in the
Of the roads under
their charge. These questions
may be forwarded to this office
at intervals under a franked en-.
velope, and the answer will be
made as quickly as practics-
BILE.
/ trust that you will let me
hear from you at the earliest pos.
sible moment, and l should be
glad to have any suggestions
from you as to the best plan oil

Death of Mrs. Thomas,

Mrs Mattie II. Thomas, one of For. rest City's best known, most uniyer- sally esteemed and greatly beloved women is dead, and grief and gloom Ills the home over which she has reigned as mother these many. many years.
 Mrs. Mattie H. Thomas was born at Union, South Carolina, January T, 1852, where she resided continuously until and one year after her marriage on December l5, 1875, to MT. J. s. Thomas. They then removed to Senotobia, Mississippi, where they resided until January, 1894, when they came to Arkansas and located on the Graham farm in this county. Eight children blessed the union, five of whom survive her.
 She was stricken with an illness last January, and has been confined to her room since then. She has had every attention that skilled physi- clans, her devoted children and many dear friends and neighbors could de- wise, but God, the Great Healer, willed that she should come to her reward, and she passed away peace fully and with the blessed assurance of Heaven on Tuesday, October 22, l907 at $50 o'clock a. m.
 Religious services were conducted at the family residence on Wednes- day morning at 10 o'clock by Rev P. II. Hensley, Jr., of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. B. l.. Will ford, of the Methodist church, and a large concourse of sorrOwing relatives and friends followed the precious remains to the Forest city cemetery, where they were inferred, and her grave was lovingly and bountifully decorated with floral offerings. Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church from early child hood until her death. She lived consistent Christian life, and raised a large family in the path of recti- tude. She was proud of her children, and was satisfied to leave them-more happy, she. said, that they were true and faithful than If they had great riches. She was devoted to them-an indnlgent and loving mother. a thoughtful neighbor and true friend. In her death Forrest City has lost a noble Christian character, her children their best friend and they have the sincere sympathy of The lines and of the entire community in their great bereavement. May God comfort them.
 We, her children, desire to thank all our friends for the many loving kindnesSeS and assistance shown us and our dear motber during her ill- ness and since her death. We fully appreciate every courtesy and kind ness. IL is such acts of friendship, such thoughtfulness, that makes life worth living, and robs death of much or it's awful gloom. May God bless and reward you is our wish.
 Sincerely,
 MRs, II. k. NEBLETT,
 LuDiE, EUeENIA,
 HARRY AND
 BEATTY 1 TOMAS.
