.MULKEY MEETING
NEXT FRIDAY
MORGAN AND BERWYN TOWN =
SHIPS INVITE OPERATION
OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.

Some days ago the farmers of the
Hignight community determined TO
hold a meeting to consider the mat
ter of building better roads to their
church and school and market, and
they also desired to have these roads
to connect with the roads established
by the Berwyn township which IS
preparing to spend $4,000 on its
roads.
The suggestion to have the high
way commissioner meet with them
met with some opposition, as there
was more or less prejudice in the
minds of some of the Morgan town
ship citizens against the commits
sioner. But it was decided to invite
the commissioner and hear what he
had TO say concerning his plans. At
the meeting held at the Hignight
school house Wednesday afternoon at
d! o'clock, Mr. Suggs was there ana
following his address the citizens
who had been inclined to work in
dependently of him were thoroughly
convinced that the commissioner
knew his business, that cooperation
with him meant better roads for less
money, and they wenc into organiza-
tlon of a Good Roads Association and
elected officers.
Following are the names of those
who enrolled as members of the as
sociation: j. II. Mulkey, II. S. Null
key, c. II. Thompson. E. C. Wells,

ing and special invitation is ey-
tended to the people of the Berwyp
township and to Commissioner G.. ".
Young to be present. The Hignight
people desire to cooperate with
the Berwyn people in the building
of the reads, they desire to have
the Berwyn and Hignight roads to
properly connect at the township
boundary and a general meeting i5
desirable to both of these townships.
Every effort will be made to ha q
the Mullley meeting result in great
good for the two townships.
Chas. w. Walters, one Of the mem.
bers of the association organized
Wednesday, said there had been some
feeling against the highway commis-
sioner in his section of the county,
bat after Mr.. Suggs' talk the people
were thoroughly convinced that thu
better plan to build roads was to ac
cept and adopt the plans of the COM
missioner and to have him worl, |
with them in their efforts to make /.
better roads.
1t is of importance to Ardmore IS
well as to the farmers Of the Hig- /.
night and Mulkey communities TO
have these roads built. That sec
tion is a very rich one in agricutu- .
raj wealth and many of the most .
progressive dairymen live there. Their
trade is worth much to Ardmore .
and Ardmore is worth much to them .
as a market. 1t seems that the CO..
mercial club could not do a better
thing for local trade than to con
tribute toward the building of e
roads and especially to encouraga
the proper connection of the Berwyl,
and Morgan township roads leadug
of Ardmcre.
Following are the officers chosen
Nv. r. Hignight, president; J. b.

Walters, Secretary treasurer: Homer
Holloway assistant secretary The
committee is composed
