Monday was the seventy-fifth
anniversary of Grover Cleve-

a meeting was held in New York
to honor his memory. Among
the speakers was President
Shurman Of Cornell, who said
in part: "All great men have
the note Of genuinenesS, Of sin
cerity and Of simplicity. They
put on no airs. "They play
no part. They are content to
be themselves. Grover Cleye-
land was a man who bore the
stamp 81 genuine reality. 1t was
easy to understand him and
easier still to trust him. Though
he was protagonist in the %fiereest
political contests Of his time
and though he was the object
of intense and bitter partisan
venom no one ever accused him
Of deceit, DISSEMINATION or ny
pocrisy. The storms of party
passion and malacr beat upon
but he stood foursquare.
Here was a genuine man"

A writer in the Kansas City
Star made a poor, a very poor
guess, when he said, ''the last
thing in the world that the Dem

state want to see happen, is the
nomination of Roosevelt" He
not only guessed wrong, but he
displayed a woeful amount of
ignorance. Every Democrat in
the land would shout with glee
if Roosevelt were nominated, as
his nomination would mean the
final overthrow of the Republican
party. Hurrah, for Teddy !

Early Roads of Lafayette

The recent impetus given tic

earlier attemptSs at road buiEd-

through and some of which
failed.
The first mention of IA road in
the County occurs under date of
April "a, 1921. That was per-

wide" clear and smooth Over
seers were also appointed on
several roads leading from Tabo
Creek. At the same time Gil
cad Rupe, Markham FriStoe,
William Robertson and William
Riggs, were appointed by the
county court to view the best
and nearest route for a road
leading from Jacks ferry to in
tersect the road leading from Fort
Usage to Mt. Vernon, Fort Usage
was near where the town of
Sibley now stands in Jackson
County and was the nearest
point of United States soldiers,
in case of an attack upon the set
Elements by Indians. The Jack 3
ferry mentioned above was at
THE original steam boat landing
which later became to be the
foot Of Commercial street Of the
city Of Lexington.
