GOOD ROADS
MEETING
Arrangements Completed For
Big Farmers Event Be.
ginning Tomorrow.
SPEAKERS FROM A DISTANCE.
Expected That Attendance From
Different Sections Will
Be Large.

The good roads convention, be-
ginning here tomorrow and lasting
over Thursday, will be one of the
most important ever held in the
State. Other states besides Ken
lucky will be represented, and the
farmers of Christian county. il they
are alive to their own interests, will
quit their farming operations for the
two days and attend every session.
From the program. completed yes
terday. it will be seen that, in addi-
ton to the local speakers. there are
over half dozen others from a dis
lance who will address the people,
all of whom are fully competent to
enlighten the public as to road build
lug.
The meeting was arranged for the
benefit of our farmers. As is we'll
known Christian county. through its
Fiscal Court, has spent a great deal
of money to improve its roads. by
issuing bonds. as well as by liberal
appropriations from the county fund.
Probably no county in the State has
done more along this line, but there
is still much more to be done, and
-it should be done intelligently. This
cannot be unless our people avail
themselves of every opportunity to
be Informed. The Business Mems
Association has done its part, and
has done it wei. 1t is now up to
the farmers to do theirs.

Notwithstanding the recent voting

tions that the question of good roads

our feet have grown weary and cold; L
try. but l cannot remember when flies
were so sassy and bold. They buzz round
cur heads by the million, and nothing
their efforts can foil; they crawl on the
panes by the billion, so what have we
gained by our toll? They camp on our
necks when we're working. and not all
our thunders Embossed. and not all our
shaking and Jerking will drive them away
from their roost. They bite and they
biff and they burrow, they tickle and
torture and tease, they pillow in your

Kings Mistake Is Costly
Sending Of Redcoafs TO Boston
Started the Revolution which
Lost Colonies to England.
By Rev. ThOs- B. Gregory -

"YHEN, 145 years ago today, the
w two regiments Of British regu-
lars landed at Boston, it was
written down on the book OF fate that
the war of the revolution was on To
be sure, the meeting of the Continental
congress was full six years in the fu-
ture, and Lexington battle was not to
be for nearly seven years; but the
coming of the redcoats was king
Georges challenge to the coIonists,
which they were sure to pick up. an
swerIng the kings arguments in kind,
giving him bullet for bullet and sword
thrust for sword thrust
The, affairs of men, no less than the
phenomena Of the material world, are
determined by law. Something hap
pens-and then. in consequence of that
something, something else happens. It
is quite possible that but for the send
ing of the redcOats the cross of St
George would today be waving over
the whole of the North American con-
tinent-
It is not as extensively known as it
might be that the sentiment for the
crown was strong IN the colonies. and
that down to the actual clash Of arms
at Lexington this sentiment was pow
erful enough to have prevented a sep
aration from England provided the
king had been 1eady to listen to wise
eounsels-the dictates of reason rath-
er than passion
It was the kings attempt to answer
the reasonable arguments of the coll
onists with cannon and muskets that
made the breach permanent and the
separation inevitable.
1t was the way that had been pop
ular for countless ages. the way BY
which despots had been settling things
from the beginning of history, and
the stubborn. thick headed king did
not realize that a new time had come.
a time in which reason rather than
brute force was to be the final judge IN
all great disputes: and he blindly Wab-
bled on to his doom.
As Americans. the proud citizens OF
the worlds greatest and noblest ma
ton, we are very glad that the regu-
lars came to Boston. for it has turned
out that the separation from the moth
er country was the best thing that
could have happened for America. for
England and for the whole human
race. Nevertheless. we cannot help
thinking Of what might have been but
for the tramping of the redcoats
through Boston streets.
