Editor FL PasO Herald:
Since the agitation is again at hand
for a bond issue to improve the roads
Of this county might it not be well to
point out the fact that we need roads
not only in different parts Of the
county, but also nearer home? I refer
to the need of a good road to Con-

to this cemetery viii have little diff

ceived while accompanying the re-
mains of a dear one to the last rest
ing place. The mOurners have little
time to think OF their sorrows - their
energies are needed to retain their
seats in the carriage
Here is a road Travelled by hundreds
every day Of the year and one of the
worst roads leading from the city. It
is well to build good roads that the
pleasure seeker may glide along in his
automobile, but L believe il just as
necessary to build a good road to this
cemetery where even those who can
not afford an automobile must ride
/ would suggest then that one of
the first things we do is to put a
smooth automobile road to this ccme-
terry. No one has any property on the
way that viii be enhanced in value,
but many Of the citizens must travel
that way when they lay to rest their
dear ones.
Gentlemen of the city council and
OF the county commissioners court,
won't you get together and give us
this needed improvement?

HEAVEN z::5s $685. q .. g. o. z7 7s sz

EAVEN is a state of future bliss
and present hope.
IL No one knows Just where
heaven Is and few of us are very con-
fdent of reaching the real place, owing
to the fact that in order to inhabit
heaven a man must have practiced up
until he can exist without causing any
one else any bother or unhappiness.
This requirement has cut down the
emigration to heaven to very small
figure annually. If only those people
who think of themselves last can enter
heaven it is growing more slowly than
Albany, y. y.
Heaven Is spoken of by all competent
authorities as a place of great delight
and an ideal place for perpetual resi-
dence. We can well believe it, owing
to the vast number of people who can't
get into heaven.
There are no proud and naughty So
ciety folk in heaven to make the or
binary citizen with large feet feel like
sUperfluous incumbrauce on the planet.
There are no peevish and ill-natured
people in heaven. A person could clerk
in a store in heaven 70, 100000 years
and not be bullied by a customer
There are no gissips, lazy people or
chronic borrowers in heaven. There are
no law-breakers or quarrelsome people
and of millionaires, politicians and law
yers the population shows only a trace.
All of these lacks make heaven by far
the earth's most desirable suburban place
of residence. If a resident of heaven is
in trouble he deals out numbers to those
waiting TO help him, as a barber deals
out checks on Saturday night. If a resi-

drawing in from three sides.

they drew near. A large fire had bee:
lighted, and the wind brought the odor ot

completing evidence would be gone.
At a signal the four men closed in, and
there was confusion among the herders. This
time Chug did not exhibit his former bra

out of the fire. I'll fit this patch to it, and
we'll have a case.

looked on stolidly. A Mexican herder showed
his teeth; but the gleam of a gun caused him
to think once more, and he sat down to finish
his supper. The two white cowboys and
Chug Smith swore audibly in the manner OF

hide of the white steer into the circle, and
