Lost His PunkIns

Ranse Hillyer had turrible experients on last Tuesday, Jake Peters, Rrom Sor- row Hollow come over to Hanse's and dickered with Ranse to buy a load of punkins of which Ranse has a large crop this season. Ranse said he would sell Jake a two hoss load of punxins for s1.0O fest as they laid froze in the field or he would agree to deliver the load for $1.50. Jake he said he would buy em delivered. Well. Ranse he started out Tuesday with a big load to deliver and driv all the way to Sorrow Hollow and turned in the lane to Jake's house which stands on a turrible steep hill and started to go up and when he got about half way up the hill the end gate in the waggin busted out behint and the hull entire load of punkins rolled offen the waggin and start ed back down the hill lickety split. Ranse he didn't stop till he got clean up to the top of the hill and they wasn't punkin left in the waggin, but they was enun punkins scattered back along down the hill to feed herd of cows for two weeks. Being as Ranse agreed to deliver the pinkins for $1.50, Jake wouldn't pay him a cent besides Ranse loosing the punkins.

Now that the riggers of winter is aboutsto shet us in from the wurld and | it's folly for few months, we once | more call attenshien to the fackt that
 i've ort to have sight better roads in
 and about Bingville than we had last
 winter, and that wu'dn't be saying very much either.
 The situashion is this:
 Towit, the peepul of BingSiIle pays
 a road tax wich is assessed and eolleckt-
 ed for the purpuss of bilding and main taining good roads in the neighborhood, said roads to be passable all the yeer round, hoss-back or foot-back. Jabe | Parker. one of the most respectful citi-
 zens of Bingville when sober and a ! blamedA fool when drunk, is employed
 under contract by the county to keep
 the roads in good order in this town ship. Jabe is paid something like $4o.OO
 by the county to do this, and that is all
 Jabe is supposed to do. But does Jabe
 do it?
 We are making no mistake when we
 sight You all know how it was last | forget how it was for a long spell to come. On the 18th day of last Novem- Der they was four foot of snow fell out his big snow roller and a four hoss OK team the next morning and go to breakin roads? No, he didn't. The only road breakin Jabe done was to brake road through the snow from store, and when he reached the store L. G,x AGn II checkers with Ham Perkins all day long, not even a-going home for bite to eat at noon, but eating few crackers and cheese instid.
 In the meanwhile whot was a-hap- pening elsewhere9 Why the snow layd in the roads right where it\ fell, and peepul had to waller through it with their teams as best they could, and sometimes they had to git outen the waggins and shuvvel fer a hour CT two to git through a drift, and the lang widge they used was somethink terrible to hear, and the way they swore at Jabe Parker was enuff to of kep him het tip the rest of the winter.
 Instid of a-gittin out and brakin roads, Jabe he just kep lsettin by the fire, and when it come spring he WGilL luC NOuHIy oCdh dIiQ COllGCkICQ his $4o00 for keepin the roads in good repair per annum, and so \ fur as we kin make out coilectin this money un- der sich falst pertense, as it were, didn't | prick Jabe's conschience a tarnashion l bit. We have got our doubts whether | Jabe has got any conschienee to prick l CT not. If we was to go and eoileckt | money for somethink wich we didn't do, | we would consider that it would be | jest the same as stealth missionary money from a Sunday school, by Hen. | This is why we speak of this matter | now before the snow flize.
 Whot we want is good roads even if we hey to drive clean outen the town ship to git em. If Jabe Parker can't keep the roads open in winter, then he ort to be kiclSt outelwsffiee and the job give to someone wlfo has got the inter- ests of the community at hart.

"Homeward Bound"

These were the joyful words
that escaped from the lips of
three of our Richmond boys as
they boarded the train for home
one evening not long since. They
had been absent for some weeks
seeking their fortunes in the
heartless, crowded city.
1t is no disgrace, boys, but
rather wise to be able to decide
that your strength is not yet
sufficient for the change, and
manly to acknowledge it and
come home, brayely face your
companions, and go to work
again.
You have had your fun, to be
sure, talking of the absolute
necessity OF getting a broken
limb in order to be in line for
promotion in some Of these city
establishments, and also of the
resolutions to the effect that you
had come home to die, but in
fact, it is an acknowledgement
on your part, that Richmond is a
pretty good place after all. You
have had your lesson, and the
next thing is to profit by it.
We welcome your return and
hope that each Of you may think
it wise to anchor here, live out
the best there is in you and be.
come Richmond's foremost citi-
zens in the years to come. - Rich
mond Conseryator.

able value; as a money saver it
be a great thing to the shippers
and receivers of freight. The
Chester and Tennessee are filled
every trip with through freight
between Kansas City and St.
Louis and can do very little for
US.
AS an investment the plan
looks good. On accout of ability
to handle freight cheaper than
the railroads can, the boat should
always have a full cargo. She
hardly, however, could properly
be considered a competitor of
the Missouri Pacific, as that
road now has more business than
it can adequately handle and
there would be plenty of freight
for both railroad and boat.
One of the main advantages in
being a river town consists in
opportunities for using the river
for traffic. The water supply is
about the only other benefit,
while as a disadvantage the river
cuts off the contiguous territory
of a town. Lexington draws
trade only from a semicircle,
since the neighboring Ray coun-
ty farmers all trade at Licking
ton Jet, Hardin or Richmond.
The river, then, ought to be
used to every possible advantage
and the scheme Of Messrs. Hale
and LOOMS looks like a good
thing.

COUNTY ROAnS.

Another attempt to have a
large meeting of the Lafayette
County Good Roads society viii
be made at Higginsville a week
from today. On October 80, it
will be remembered, there was
a meeting of this society at
which only a small number was
present. That was due largely
to the fact that the weather a
that time was extremely disa-
greeable.
The meeting next Saturday
will be an important and inter
esting one; and it is the duty Of
every farmer to attend. The
new road law, about which most
of us have only the vaguest sort
OF conception, Will be fully ex-
planned and discussed. That a.
lone ought o insure agood atten-
dance. But there will be various
other measures of Importance
brought before the meeting and
the social feature of the
gathering should appeal to ev.
eryone.
Undoubtedly Lafayette coun-
tvs roads are lamentably poor
and without reason. Bad thor
oughfares are a losing PROPOSE
ton to thefarmer, the merchant,
the railroad and the pleasure
seeker. Lafayette is in many re.
spects one Of the best counties
in the state, and it should not be
so far behind in the matter of
roads.
