business ability was put in active charge of the work He devoted his entire time at a great sacrifice to the enterprise and the result of his patriotic labor Is worthy of the greatest commendation.
 Satisfied with Roads.
 It is hardly possible that one citizen of the county could be found that could lay inst criticism against the work. Everyone seems to be satisfied except that there is universal regret that the sys- tenn cannot be imme mediately extended to the county limits.
 Before the improvement of the roads many of them were almost impossible at times and now they are high. dry and firm in all sorts of weather The farmer along these bikes Is now able to carry his produce to market with all ease, sav- ing great worry and wear and tear of stock and vehicles.
 One of the noticeable results of the good roads is the number of fine country homes that are being built far out into the country Good roads seem to inspire more pride or it may be that the inn provement gives permanency to the habi- taton and the farm owner prepares him self for future comfort. He realizes that his farm is worth more, that his labor will be more satisfactory and life more en- durable. have never yet found man with a good pike leading from his home to town complaining of the cost.
 Improve Roads.
 By the way, it has been demonstrated in Limestone county that every mile or public road in Alabama may be greatly improved at small cost Even where the roads are worked under the old system by the people living along the highway wonderful Improvements may be made.
 The first principle of road building Is thorough drainage. This can be secured even in the .marshy lands of the state. On those sections of road in Limestone that have been graded beyond where the ma cadam has been placed good. firm road beds have been secured by the simple process of grading and draining.
 Wherever possible the road was put on a new and higher grade, rounded up and drained. At times the old course is aban- doned and the road cut around hills or taken from marshy lowlands and put on ridges By rounding up the roadbed so as to throw the water off immediately after rains wonderful improvement Is shown, and in some instances where the soil has a mixture of gravel or sand an almost perfect road is secured with but little cost. fi '
 A little thought and labor on the part of road overseers in every county in the state will bring good results along these lines and prevent the absolute waste of

Athens. September H.-(Special.)-A ems is as old as the state of Alabama, mature in sentimental tradition; rounded out and complete in all those qualities that go to the making of an ideal com munity in which to live.
 It is one of the most delightful towns in Alabama with enough of the glamor of history to make it interesting; enough of the atmosphere of culture and refine emnt to make it inspiring and enough of modern commercialism and public-spirit- edness to make it endurable.
 If there was no Birmingham many of us might go to Athens. Many of us de- lirious with the fever of money-making epidemic In the Birmingham district would be happier in dear old place like Athens.
 The town was born with the state in the year 1879. It has had it's periods of fiuc- tuations in growth; has passed through the spasms of unrest and calamity, but in the main has enjoyed a forward prog ress. Its municipal ambitions have been

 The F good roads leading out of Athens in every direction are the pride of the people, not only of the town but the en- tire county. They are not only a source of pleasure to the people, but put money into the pockets of every man who has to use them.
