The bee., 1913-05-13
lower to make the club a success.

Frank ID. Rash.
Frank d. Rash, of darlington, was
next called upon, and responded in
a practical talk. The farmer needs
better roads TO market his produce,
and he should be encouraged to raise
everything needed on the farm.
Nothing should be shipped into Hop
kins county.
VI. X. Gordon.
NJ. X. Gordon had Joined every
club IN the history of the city. He
was glad to get a call to organize.
for he had been thinking the time
was ripe. The club should start
right. and much good can be ac-
complished. Begin with a determi
natioh to stick to it, and success will
follow.
Frank II. Arnold.
Frank b. Arnold, Of Darlington,
was OF the opinion that the club
would fill a long felt want in the
county. The tide of immigration
which had been setting west for the
past quarter OF a century would in
the next quarter of a century set
again east, where cheap lands can be
obtained. We should be in position
to take care of this tide OF immegra-
tion when II does set in. fractional
lines should be eliminated. Most
OF the people in the towns come from
the country, and everybody in the
towns wish they were in the country.
We should bestir ourselves for good
roads. and he was of the opinion that
the $4,000 recently appropriated
for the construction of a public
building for Madisonville by the Uni
ted States government would be bet
ter expended in building a mile OF
road each direction from the city.
