their minds that We must positively
have all benefits to our community
stay with us as much as possible.
Aid Good Roads.
ut was my intention to make sew
eral excursions into our territory
this summer and fall to personally
solicit new members, but owing to
pressure of business and when that
was not so great, the condition OF
the roads being impossible, had to
abandon same. That was one of the
numerous reasons why | wanted the
subject of roads brought up and
when | found the State would fur
nish us man of experience on road
building to lecture for us and give
views Of work done, all at no ex-
pense to us, it was very gratifying
indeed.
Good roads leading through and
connecting up the different cities OF
our state, so that the farmer can
bring his crops in at any time will
not only be valuable to him but will
also put a better value on all farm
lands contiguous to such roads.

sentative gives his lecture Friday

at the cabin. There, under the criti-
cal survey of Bennie Dick from his
customary place on the floor, they
darkened their faces, heads, hands,
feet and legs; then, pulling their caps
over their eyes, these energetic little
boys stole out of the back gate and
fairly few down an alley to the sta
ton. No one noticed them in that
hot, perspiring crowd. A lively band
was playing and the mob Of good-hu-
mored, happy negroes, dressed in their
Sunday best. laughing and joking,
pushing and elbowing, made their
way to the excursion train standing
on the track.
The two excited children got di-
rectly behind broad, pompous negro
and slipped on the car just after him.
Fortunately they found a seat in the
rear of the coach and there they sat
unobserved, still and quiet, except for
an occasional delighted giggle, till

The train was made up Of seven

that the two little boys did not know
soul in their car.
But when they were nearing Wood
stock, a little station not far from
Memphis, Sam Lamb, making a tour
of the cars, came into their coach and
was promptly hailed by the children.
When he recognized them, he burst
into such a roar of laughter that it
caused all the other passengers to turn
around and look in their direction.
