The ex- hibition of the odd Fellows orphans home was splendid, they had at the fair all of the products of their farm and it made a splendid showing
 Of his address at Cullnlan, Captain craft said that he was invited by Mayor Robertson of Cullman, who is also president of the Cullman Fair association and of the Cullman County Tennessee Model Highway association. to be present and speak on good roads and that his address was well re- ceved.
 "I am advocating a s5O,0O0,000 bond issue by the state for good roads" said Captain Craft, and my address was along that line. It can be taken care of and it is cheaper for the people to have the constitution of the state changed than to lose the s5,000,000 a year that is benig sunk in the mud and never does anybody any good
 By issuing bonds the state could give for 20 years two and one half millions annually and in the 20 years the state would have expended S50, 000,000 for good roads, culverts and bridges. They would be a permanent asset to the state. Every acre of land in the state would be vastly increased in value. The result would be a ben eft just as any railroad, city street or highway is a benefit in increasing values. The s5,000, 900 now lost an nually due to bad methods would in 20 years amount to the enormous sum of s100, 1000, 900. sum that could be ab- solutely saved to the state,
