A NEW PLAN TO
WORK THE ROADS
Suggested BY An Ohio
County Farmer.
SOME VERY VALUABLE ADVICE
Esquire Chamberlain Would
Divide the County Into
Z Four Districts.
Nocreek. Ky. Nov. 25.


Editors Herald: The election is
now over and let us get together and
see If we cannot inaugurate a system
whereby our roads can be worked
much better and with less expense,
The writer will offer some sugges-
lions which he thinks will be we'll for
consideration by all concerned in the
roads of Ohio county. We find from
the record of our last Fiscal Court
which was in session recently, that
vast amount of money was expended
for blowing and scraping on roads.
Now / believe we have as good over
seers and road hands as any county
in the Commonwealth, but our road
system is a failure and as long as
we continue in the old way we will
never have good roads and we are
wasting our money ever year. ! want
to suggest a plan whereby | think we
may be able to improve our highways.
First, think We should divide the
county into four road districts or
boundaries. l do not undertake to
say the county should be districted as
recommend, but 1 do this in
order to get the proposed plan before
you. l suggest the first district be
composed of Hartford and Centertown
MagisteTial districts. The second of
Beaver Dam and Rockport districts.
The third Rosine and Sulphur Springs
districts. The fourth to be composed
of Fordsville and Bartlett's districts.
Each district should be provided by
the county with a grader and teams
sufficient to work each machine. Then
we should have a working crew to so
with each team, this working crew
to be under the supervision of a road
superintendent and commissioner. The
work should be commenced as early
as the first of April in each year.
And now we come to the question
of road hands. The Kentucky Statutes
piOSlut NItl lUuu manu- may Dt
worked as much as six days in each
year. We might cut that down 10
five days and he could be allowed
to pay So and be receipted for years
work on the public roads, making it
optional with the hand whether lie
pays or works five days. However, if
he chooses to work, he should put in
five days of eight hours per day and
work under the commissioner while
the working crew is on his road
boundary or adjoining boundary there
to,so as to be as convenient to him as
possible. The hand who desires to
work should do all work assigned by
the commissioner, such as building
bridges, handling dirt or rock and in
fact all work that is considered road
working Now Mr.. Taxpayer or road
hand, let us hear from you on this
proposition or some other plan.
Respectfully,
b. S. CHAMBERLAIN.

Fabulous Insurance on a Man.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. GIN
surance to the amount of S1,500,000
has been applied for on the life of
Geo. E. Nicholson, forty years old, a
cement manufacturer of Kansas City,
by two of the companies of which he is
the head. Insurance men say this is the
largest amount of life insurance ever
sought at one time upon the life Of
any one person in the history of in
surance.
For more than II hours % physi-
clans, representing different insurance
companies, examined Mr.. Nicholson.
When the day was over he was thor
oughly tired and so were the doctors.
He was given the most searching
examination possible. After it was
all over the physicians declared that
he was in perfect physical health, and
the local agents of the different insur-
ance companies said that the policies
undoubtedly would be issued.

people who migrate across the CONT

OF them are suffering from throat

regain 1T health. Could every suf-
ferer but undo the past and cure that
first neglected cold, all this SORROW,

AWFUL DEATH
OF {. D. GUFFY
Caused BY a Runaway
Team.
NEVER SPOKE AFTER THE FALL
He Was on His Way to His
Fathers Home In
MOrgantOWn.

Mr.. Estill ID. Guffy, formerly for
many years a citizen of Hartford, was
fatally injured at Beaver Dam, We'd
nesday morning. He had been in at
tendance at Federal Court at Owens
| boro, having gone there from his
present home, Oklahoma City, Okla
homa, last week, and at the time of
the accident had started from Beav-
err Dam to Morgantown to visit his
father, Judge b. l.. d. Guffy. The
team was driven by young Orville
Hooker and was hitched to a buggy.
Just as the railroad crossing had
been made, one side OF the tongue
became detached, striking the horses,
causing them to run. Young Hooker
jumped, carrying the lines with him,
leaving Guffy helpless in the buggy.
Attempting to jump also, his feet were
entangled in the lap robe and he fell
on the stone street, his head striking
first. Mr. Guffy would probably have
weighed more than 200 pounds and his
weight together with the force of
the fall fracuredt his skull, caus-
ing conclusion of the brain. He was
Immediately removed to the Austin
House. in Beaver Dam, and medical
aid was summoned, but his case was
pronounced hopeless from the start
by the physicians and he never re-
gained consciousness. He fingered
until about four o'clock in the after
noon, when death ended his suffer-
ings
The accident occurred about six
o'clock in the morning. His moth
er reached his bedside several hours
before his death, but his father was
too feeble TO make the trip from
Morgantown. kilograms were sent
to his relatives, but his wife, who
was in Oklahoma City, was not able
to reach Beaver Dam until Friday.

born and raised.
His end is indeed sad and tragic.
At one time he enjoyed a large prac-
tice at the Hartford bar and took
quite a prominent part in politics.
He was Assistant Secretary of State
during the Bradley administration,
having been appointed by Chares
Finley, Secretary of State. Later,
for several years, he was Cashier in
the Surveyors office at Louisville.
DR.. Baird, his intimate friend,
who also lives in Oklahoma City
and was with him at Owensboro, had
gone to Lexington to visit relatives,
but on receipt of telegram he has
tened back to Beaver Dam, but
did not arrive there until after Mr..
Guffy had been dead for several hours.
Arrangements had been made to
bring an eminent surgeon from Lou
isville with the hope that 1t might
be possible TO perform an operation,
which would relieve the sufferer, but
death occurred before this could be
attempted.

Ohio Going "Dry"

"Millersburg, Ohio, Dec. 22.-Holmes
county Joined the dry list at the
Rose election held yesterday by ma
jority of 995. Four saloons and two
distilleries are put out of business.
"Ohio's list of dry counties now
number 90, of which 81 were voted
dry under the Rose county option
law and five under township and vii
lage local option laws. Nine counties
voted wet under the Rose law. In
the remaining II counties no elections
have been held, and it is understood
there will be no further elections until
after the adjournment of the coming
session of the legislature"
The above from the Toledo Blade
looks good for Ohio. Under the Rose
law Ohio has reduced the number of
its saloons from 2,403. to 529 and there
are II counties that have not yet voted
on the matter. Give the people fair
chance and they will rid the land of
the saloon.

the mails may be carried over to the

are to be made will come up for con.
