IN MEM0RIAM
Charles H. Ashton.

In this, his own land, where all OF US
knew him so well and favOrsbly, the best
words of the eulOgist must seem OF little
worth. Nothing can now be said togive
him any securer place in the esteem and
affection OF his cOuntrymen, but it helps
US in the hour of sorrow to say over a.
a litany what memory has cherished and
recorded of those high qualities in which
his character was SO rich, that We may
gather strength in their recital.
First, we remember that be was, above
all things. loyal and loving to his friends,
ever ready with "a cherry smile and brave
word of encouragement.
We remember that be was a gentleman
of fine courtesy and address, conscious OF
his own faults and broadly charitable in
Judgment OF the faults OF Others.
We remember that he was
zone who never turned his back but
marched breast-iorward,
Never doubted clouds would break;
Never dreamed, though right were
worsted, wrong would triumph,
Held we fall TO rise, are battied TO fight
better, sleep TO wake.
We remember that he was a gallant
soldier OF the South, when our enemies
beset US, and since that dark hour has
been in the forefront of a hundred fights
for public good and civic righteousness.
We remember that many trusts, private
and public, were committed to bis hands
and all OF them be discharged with a
fidelity against which no breath OF evil
rumor was ever raised; and to all who
came within the charmed circle OF his
genial friendship his loss is q keen per-
sonal bereavement.
But let US remember this also, that
neither sorrow, nor pain. mol. care, nor
any OF LIES dark harrassments can come
near him now.
HE hath Outsoared the shadow OF our
night" leaving us richer for the memory
of chivalrous and true-hesrted gentle
man. And /. for one. cherish this faith,
that in whatever life may wait Tor such
as pass the door OF darkness through,
those high qualities OF soul by which he
won our love and admiration here will
bring him friends and favor there.

Our aim is to perfect an organization
with methods within our ability, TO COLI
duct the work of roadmakiug that we
may secure the best possible results
Our first work will be on the roads con-
Meeting the places OF principal interest in
the county. We are at the place nOw Of
saying good bye To the old way OF
dumping a pile OF dirt in heap and
raking off the top little, also ofdigging
gutter across the road diagOnally Tor
the water to stand in, and maybe cause
the ladies in driving across 10 say
thank ZEE ma am" il no more. Our lim-
tied space don't give me room 10 write
il. The one principal question In road
making In drainage. Get the water
away from the track as quickly as pos
sible. Great care should be taken to
keep the crown OF the road in the proper
form. Here is the fOrm-grade from the
center one inch To the foot Of width. No
road OF any build will maintain itself.
All OF them require timely care and at
tentiOn Ii is now conceded that good
roads are Of our most valuable public
improvements. and money aud labor
that is properly used for this purpose
benefits the entire community. Now
that we are getting rural delivery service
in our county it is especially Important
that our highways shall be put in good
condition at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Indifference and neglect in this
matter will be considered sufficient cause
for the withdrawal Of this service from
community by the Postofiice Depart
ment. Our list of names Of voters and
land owners in the county is nearing "a
completion and soon we will send a
double postal to every voter in the coun-
" asking for Important information.
BE sure to answer and return card at
once is what we are asking all to do.
Yours Tor Good Roads,
