day, but do wish the newspapers
could tell us how to keep them further
apart. II we cannot prevent the
years from passing over us, we may at
least make good use of them as they
go, and possibly keep up with the
spirit of the age SO that we will not
grow cross with the world as we grow
old.

ONE MAN WILL
GIVE $4,000
For Pike From Irvington To Gus
ter Preparations Being
Made For Good Roads Con-
vention Next Month
0UT-0F-T0WN SPEAKERS

lrvingtOn, NY. July 20 tSpeciaD-
As we stand to-day just within
the doorway Of this twentieth
century we find new demand:
made upon our stalwart men, high.
err standards raised, and he who
wishes to see success must meet
these demands or else stand aside
and give place to the other man.
The farmer who says he will
give $500. toward constructing the
pike from Irvington to Custer
and one has said it and is ready to
make good the promise, is man
up to the standard. He it is, who
having stood tip toe on the
heights and looking down the
vistas of the coming years, has
seen with the construction of this
modern roadway, the value of his
farm doubled, the ease with which
he gets his farm products to
market makes living ten miles
from town a pleasure, yea, he has
seen the town man made truly to
yearn for his meadow lands, his
waving corn fields, his fields of
golden grain, his babbling brook
in which stands under the shade
sleek cattle waiting the time when
this autocrat of the farm shall
pronounce them ready for market.
Men of this Fourth Magesterial
District, this pike is no myth, no
fable; it is going to be built on
the cooperative plan. Already
we are hearing from farmers along
the way pledging to give money
and furnish help and teams for
from one to three days.
Come to the good roads conven-
ton at Irvington August IL pre-
pared to say how much money you
will give, how many days you will
furnish man, wagon and team.
Farmers, doctors, lawyers, minis
tiers, merchants, and men from
every walk of life: be it humble
or what not arouse your neighbors'
interest them in this movement and
now that the fight is on Law not
down your weapon until we see
the completion of this grand Ugh
way. Prominent men throughout
our state, men who have in their
own section been promoters of
such movements as ours, will be
here to address the Convention.
Come and hear them tell how it
may be done. Mr. A. M. Giltner,
'Eminence, KY, is one of our in
vited guests. Come and hear his
experience. Mr.. K. K. Woods, the
Louisville Post Master expects to
come down for the Convention to
Join heart and hand with the CIT
liens of his native County in their
effort to reach this higher Stand
ard.
There will be a bountiful dinner
served, plenty of ice water, good
music, fine speeches and plenty of
good cheer. Do not fail to be on
hand every one within ten miles
of this proposed route.
