nificent in this line that has ever
been made in America, and he is

enduring and much more servicable
than many things which rich men
have given to the public, at a much
greater cost. Mr.. du Pont built the
hrst model road ever constructed in
this county. About IS years ago
when he was at Central City he laid
off roads over several acres of his
farms, and with plows, scrapers and
drags he worked a large crew fol
some weeks, and these roads are
still good, requiring very little at
tention. He is the original good
roads man of Muhlenberg. and is

Now, friends, let us look at this
vital question from a sensible stand
point, and quit our flimsy road con-
struction. In my opinion it would
be much better to take the bulk of
our funds each year and start to
macadamize our roads, beginning
on the most travelled sections, of
course, and each year extending as
far as our funds would allow. If
this had been done with the money
spent the past twenty years we
would now have had many miles of
perfect, permanent highways, and
the balance of the roads would have
been in just about as good condition
or no worse condition, if you
please-aS now. After investigation
my judgment dictates that what we
need now is a steam road roller. In
fact, we have needed that ever since
the graders were put in operation,
and if that had been provided, there
could have been saved half to three
fourths of the money that has been
spent for grading, and the road been
in better shape, too, tor it the
surface of road has been put in
proper grade, and is then packed
thoroughly, the surface is not easily
broken, as there are no dust or mud
ruts formed for long while. As it
is now, the first heavy vehicle that
goes over a road marks the part
that will be used until the ruts are
so deep that they must be dodged.
At first they are dust ruts, the loose
surface being pushed aside and tires
packing down. the part-under he
tread. The first rain that falls is
held in these depressed lines, and
when wheels get to dragging through
the mud the wear is terrific, and
the road is soon gone. With a
smooth, hard surface from side to
side of the road, there would be no
marked line for vehicles, and the
whole area would be covered, dis
tribu,ing the wear, and another saw
ing feature would be that the road
surface would not be washed off in
the bitches, stopping them up and
holding water to undermine the road.
A road roller is indispensable in
the making of macadam road, but
its usefulness is equally as great in
maintaining dirt roads.
Farmers, business and profession
al men, corporations, county Of
hcials, everyone, in adjoining coun-
ties are busying themselves in
thought and action on the building
of permanent highways, and shall
be glad to have the interest and
support of all our people in my
work. It is my sincere desire to
do the very best possible for the
people, and am expepding the pub
lie funds with a view to securing
the greatest returns. While | dc
not hope to escape criticism of al
adverse nature, and to be condemn
ed by at least few, I shall contin-
ue to discharge my duties withou
; fear, favor or prejudice, my chic
hope being that our people vii
wake qP and get eptbpsiastic on th'
good roads question.
Respectfully,

AT a m assmeeting recently held
in EliEabethtown for the purpose of
devising plans and arousing interest
in the rebuilding of the old Louis
Vile and Nashville pike, now known
as the Lincoln Way, one farmer rose
and said he would give 81 for each
acre of land he owned, and when
ssaau.Ga & - ~--rrhsr -of- f-asAaausSfd
he had $500. When applauded, as
he should have been, said he was not
making a donation, or acting with a
view to securing public praise, but
as an investment, as he firmly be
lieved that each dollar spent would
yield ten. When people get to look
ing at the matter in that light, il
shows that they have been giving
the matter some thought, as invest
igstion will convince any man that
ne can tax himself to greater in
dependence by building permanent
highways. This farmer lives in the
same county with Harry Sommers,
editor of the Elizabethtown News,
and the original and most enthus.
iastic good roads editor in Ken,
lucky. His efforts are bearing fruit,

The bank messenger was too astonished to go in pursuit, and al though he cried for help, Lillis was out of sight before any one was after him. The sneak" could not have been more successfully carried out had 1t been planned for Lillis to snatch the satchel.
 The satchel contained $14.00O and was divided between Old Chauncey" Johnson, Long Tom" Walsh and Lii lis. Kid" Meany was cut off with out penny for losing his nerve.

 This bold piece of work made Lillis famous in the underworld and he was asked to join the Combination Mob," band of clever criminals who were preparing to leave for London to rob the Bank of England. The in- vitation was accepted and Lillis be. came an associate of Little Joe" Reilly, the forger who got $69,00O from the Union Trust company in New York; Rat Reilly, the pick pocket; Joe Butts, the bank sneak and former friend from Cincinnati, and Sophie Lyons, the notorious woman thief. When they arrived in London they were joined by Eddie Guerin, who was later sent to Devils island for robbing the Bank of France, and Billy Porter, the English thief who robbed the duchess of Suther- land of a $50,000 diamond necklace But they found the bank too well pro- tected, so they gave up the job and went to Paris, where several months of work netted them about $40,000 each.
 Lillis lost his at Monte Carlo, went to England. was caught robbing a bank messenger and spent two years in Clerkenwell prison.
 Beginning of the End.
 Then bad luck overlook him at every step. He was arrested in Louis vile for robbing patron of the Seel- bach hotel and was sentenced to one years imprisonment at Frankfort. On his release he went to Nashville, Tenn. where. with "Sheeney" Harris and "Sneaky" Jim, he robbed Jes- sups jewelry store, His pals got away but he stayed in town the day after the robbery and was arrested. He had previously felt out the job" and the clerk in the jewelry store identified him as the man who had made several purchases during the week preceding the robbery. He | fought his case hard and carried 1t to the supreme court of the state, his | pals having sent him money, but it | was no use. He was sentenced to 15 years in the Nashville state prison He served II years and months. the remainder of his sentence being com muted for good behavior. He was re- leased from there few weeks ago, and he went to New York determined to start anew before it was too late | to lead an honest life.
 | For two days he went without food, being unable to secure employment. Then, in desperation, he entered a | New York hotel. determined to steal enough money to get something to eat He was on the point of entering one of the rooms when he conquered his desires and left the hotel. He met friend who gave him temporary assistance and last week he secured employment
