LOUISVILLE.

Louisville, April 4.-The roads leading
to Louisville, and the streets of said
village, are not, just yet, in shape for
the use of motors. When we hear one
speak of the good roads of some other
section we wonder if they have been
used during the winter. township
like Nimishillen, in which there are a
hundred inhabitants to the square mile,
and in which immense crops are dis
posed of and thousands of tons~of coal
required annually, the highways must
be much used. A good-natured Traveller
said: THE roads are pretty tough, but
they never cost me a cent so l am get
ting more than ] paid for" Another
traveller, on an adjoining township road,
once said: II don't believe there is a
road like this in hell" His companion
looked serious as he took the pipe from
his mouth to reply: mo, but l believe
the dust is awful deep down there by
this time" 1t takes a lot of money TO
make permanently good roads, but they
are coming.
The Stark County Centennial will un-
doubtedly be a great success. 1t
people will have to celebrate in
this wise, there will be much
hustling to make the event the greatest
of the century. Portraits of Gen John
Stark and of those men and women who
were prominent in the century-ago do
ings of this section, would be OF interest
to the tens-of-thousands who will pass
through the gallery of century-old art
works and present-day curiosities. Pres.
ent-day and long-ago views of the pub
lie squares and other points of interest
In Stark's many cities and towns would
be viewed with interest If a few de-
scendants of the tribe of Indians who
roamed the forest of this section when
II was first invaded by the encroaching
white man can be induced to come to
Canton during centennial week they, too,
Will be an attraction. If the seating ca
pacity of the S. +. cars will be sufficient
for all who wish to attend from this
place, Canton will find no fault with
the size of our delegations The every
day traffic crowds the passenger space
of some cars.
The season in which the hustling hens
go forth in quest of the luscious bug,
worm and other ingredients of the egg
of commerce, is here. Sometimes the
hens wander beyond the boundary line
of their owners domain. Some of them
don't know the exact location Of the line
of demarkation, and others apparently
don't care a continental where it is A
great many people object to these in
vasions. They have a right to object,
whether the invaders be hens, other
bipeds, or quadrupeds
Carrying rural mail is looked upon, by
many, as being a snap. II. d. Warstler,
who recently handed in his resignation,
has been unable to locate the snap. 1t
is more Of a snap than the average
mans job. Mr.. Warstler is a hustler
and, We understand, he has something
more profitable in hand. The deputy

One of our ministers recently said
Pray for Louisville, 1t needs it," It
will do no harm 10 pray for this or any
other place A number of persons here
have been harboring the idea that this
country in general has been growing
tougher, year after year, and that our
town has been keeping step. Singing
religious songs and praying are produc-
tive of good to those who are "a little
lower than the angels" and many other
mortalsi but there are some, according
to the opinion of others. who would be

influence thrown round them. There are
not many Of this class in Louisville, but
in general way, there is room for i'm
pTovement Where is the town that is
as good as II can conveniently be?
The National game will be revived here
ere many more signs OF spring appear.
We have had good teams In the past,
