Coed Roads Enthusiasts.

Judge II. O. Pace, editor of the
Sentinel, last week had the follow
ing center shot editorial in his paper:
Wits almost daily occurrence for
some man to ride into town, some
times coming eighteen or twenty
miles, to make complaint to the
county Judge about a mud hole in
the road or broken plank in a
bridge when thirty minutes work
would have fixed either. Such fel-
lows are nearly always looking for a
job, but most of them are perfectly
willing to do the work aud donate
their time, just asking the county TO
give them ten to ifteen dollars to
partly pay the extra help. What a
blessing these philanthropic, public
spirited citizens arel SO soicitous
about the political welfare of the Of
6cials, that they are willing to make
sacrifice like this every day in the
year for their sake. We know them
and learned to love and honor them
during our four years experience. "
This hits the nail squarely on the
head, and Also hits 4 large number
of persoas who are so afraid that
they will do something for nothing
that they habiiually refrain from
cleaning out ditch, mailing down
a loose plank in bridge, filling up
a dangerous rut, or any other snail
Job that could be done in five
minutes time and provide safety for
all who have occasion to pass over
the road. Many land owners per
nit such things to exist right in
front of their homes, and the effect
is extremely bad. Most people re-
cognize that they must do some
thing for the public good, but there
are enough who fail 10 this respect
to make conditions unsighlly and
expensive, in the matter OF highways.

BERGER, Socialist from Milwau-
kee, thinks the government of the
nation should be by general town
meeting. He would abolish the Sc
nate, deprive courts of the power to
hold laws invalid. Berger thinks he
could stampede the House of Rep
rcsentatives in favor of Socialism if
all the obstacles were removed, but
he is too moderate. What he wants
to do is to abolish the House as well
as the Senate, and We doubt very
much if there would be any use Of
the Presidents and the courts In his

When young lady she was married
to John Beverly, who after marriage,
became one of the ablest ministers
of his day in this county.
Mrs. Beverly was the last surviving
member of the Plano Methodist
church which was organized in IS4S.
The church was organized in her
fathers house four miles from Plano,
on Rowlett creek, with twelve mem
bers.
The following children were born

All the children were present at
the death of their mother, except
Mrs. Matte +. Martin, of Paducah.
Mrs. Beverly had thirty one grand
children living, and eight great
grandchildren. She was the grand
mother of Hon. Wallace Hughston

they protect themselves much better
