The Value of Good Roads

In considering the value Of good roads to Lee county
81 impossible to estimate how much good has been done
for this county by the local link of the Andersonvle lhom
asye highway alone The teen-mle straight stretch oil
this road beginning Leesburg and extending north the
marvel Of all automobiles who have travelled over It, Isl
doubtful if there is such another stretch Of such excellent
roadway in Georgia.
Straight as an arrow throughout this entire distance,
this part Of the Lee county link Of the Andersonve Ihom
asyie highway extends through of the best farming
lands In Georgia 1t not an exaggeraton to say that no
land in Georgia will yield better results when the soil IS
properly fortified and improved 1t is well known fact
that Lee county soils unsurpassed in the South for the
possibilities they possess the way Of assimlang fertilizers
and Of bringing back to their rich returns for every
bit Of the fertilizers put upon them
Lee county is coming to be known to the world
since the good roads movement has swept this county
Though the Andersonvile-Th IN syille highway link
Through Lee county the pretest and best constructed
highway in the county there plenty of other roads that
are Just as good and just servceabe 1t is seldom that
such long stretch Of straight level roadway secured as
That o the Andersonye Townsville highway through this
but there are many other roads that thread the con
in every direction and that pass through lands equally as
rich and desirable as any to be found in Georgia.
Lee county has never spent any money to better pur-
pose than on the improvement of its highways unless 1t be
lin the beermen of the public school system OF the county
There may have been money misspent In connection
with the roads of the county, but has there been
any spent for wrong purpose which actually went into the
Improvement Of the roads 1t is work that should be
continued with the greatest and by OF undoubted
character and ability No other should be allowed to
spend the county funds for good roads or for any other
public purposes

When you see her at her mothers
'at home day" she sits quietly and
you seldom hear a word, except "oui"
or mon" when she answers some
perfectly good" question asked her
by her mother.
You will see no eccentricities of
fashion on the young girl of good
family, and L think perhaps that is
the reason why so many of our over
dressed girls who travel complain of
insults from Frenchmen.
OF course, American girls are
prettier than French girls, for the
American girl has intelligence in her
face and, thank the fates, we are get
ting to know that women cannot be
beautiful unless they have mental
fascination and spiritual charm, as
well as physical beauty.
The pictures | am sending you are
of the very latest gowns worn by
the young girls in the best French
families, and truly they are as chic
as they are modest. American girls
under twenty would do well to copy
these styles.
There is also another thing in the
young Parisiennes favor. Every
| French woman of good society knows
| how to wear her clothes. 1t is one
of the first things taught little girls
and one they retain until the last.
Notice the grace of the new" car
riage as the French girl practices 1t
and contrast it with that you see on
Fifth avenue and Broadway.
