day, the 23rd, to DanviIle, Hunts
vile and Bowling Green.
The people along the several
routes are very much interested
and in several cases there is to be
exercised a choice of routes. The
conclusion of the Board Monday
was that they would, while con-
Sulting the most convenient and
best routes, give preference to
those routes which will be put in.
to the best condition by the peo-
pie along the lines.
State Highway Commissioner
+. W. Buffum met with the Board
and laid down some rules for
their government in the selection
of the roads. All must be no.

verts to be constructed hereafte
must be of concrete and twenty

likewise removed at corners SC as
to prevent collisions.
The foregoing rules will be ear
ried out by the Board as far as
practical in the selection of the
county seat roads. Mr. Buifu n
will submit form of contract |
where changes are required in ac-
cordance with the above, to be
signed by the persons along the

THE COUNTY
CONVENTION
Annual Meeting at Salt River,
Near Cant.

Rev w. a. Shullenbcrger of
Mexico in his Christian Chuch
Newsletter, published the fol-
lowing interesting item:
Last year the Salt River church
of which j. ID. Greer is minister.
invited the County Convention 10
partakc of the hospitality of the
people of that community and to
hold the convention at Salt River
church Usually the time of the
convention has gone into the
month Of September, but for
numerous good reasons it has
been thought best to call the
county meeting for Monday and
Tuesday, July 2S-29.s The mem
bers of Salt River have promised
to meet the Alton and Wabash
trains at Thompson with convey
ances. We need to make this con-
ventlon a representative one for
the good Of the churches of Au-
drain county. Many encouraging
signs are to be found pointing to
IA better day for the religious con-
ditlons i'll our county. Good re-
vivals, larger interest in Bible
School work, the appearance of
two new c. w. b. NJ. auxiliaries
within the year, and more than
half the churches Of the county
using with good results the mis-
sionary budget may be rightly
regarded as indications of the
larger vision and life entering in
to the rural church. When the
time for the convention arrives
quite a number from this church
both men and women-should
attend. The country churches
are always well pleased when the
county seat congregation shows
IA lively interest in the affairs of
the county.
