Plea for Good Roads.

1t takes money to build good roads
a lot OF money, Y,-and it takes money 10
keep them in repair. The cost Of max
ing and keeping the roads good scares
a great many men and a great many
communities that would really like 10
have good roads so that they Just give
the whole matter up and decide to get
along the best they can with the poor
roads they have. And as uncle Remus
would say" right there is where they
drop their mOlasses Jug" for the bad
road levies on them as high or even
higher than would be levied for a good
road. There is no escape from paying
it, either because man simply must use
the public hiehway-if he does not he
will pay still higher tax in the loss
of business and social opportunities.
lhe taxes tor roads seem pretty steep
at times, but they are seldom as bad as
the taxes levied by roads, Then, the tax
levied for roads we'll expended while
the tax levied BY thebad rOad-for it is
the bad roads which levy these taxes
results in nothing at all. 1t is just gone
at the year end, aud the old steep
muddy, horsetirinG, time.c consuming, la.
bOr-Wastine road is still there waiting
for another contribution from the men
who travel over it.
A man may kick all he chooses over
paying taxes Tor good road, but if he
lives on a bad road, he pays a tax to
this road every time he drives over it.

holds that the Cumberland PrSbyler

instead Of lOr the Cumberland Presby,

The present board Is that placed in

union Of the two churches several years
ago,
Attorneys for both sides say The de-
cisiOn leaves the case far from settled;
ihst in effect il says that while the

Ihe benefit Of the Presbyterian Church,
u must be thus operated by Cum
berland Presbyterian board for The
use aud benefit Of their adversaries,
DECIDES ONLY ONE POINT.
Judge Sanford does not undertake
to decide but the siAele question Of
which organization shOnld have the

does AOt decide who cOmpOSes that
board. He does mel 90 into the ques-

was settled by the state courts when
the Tennessee Supreme Court held that

Attorney Frank Slemmons, one Of

that he does not know what his clients

Of-State.
ONCE upon a time there was a young
- woman who taught school for living.
teacher, and kept it up for is years.
Then, she fell in love with a man, and
became his wife. They were very happy
together, and after awhile the good God sent
them a little baby, which some people said
was the living image of its mother, while
others said it was as much like its father as
any child so small as that could possibly be.
(You have seen babies of that kind, am
sure.)
Well now, what do you suppose the Board
of Education did to that faithful teacher
who had been SO steady and competent and
well-behaved for Is long years?
Why, they discharged her, because she acas
absent from her post Of duty
They couldn't even let her stay at home,
and wait, there, for the fairies to fetch the
baby.
You'd think that even thick headed
school board would have known that no
respectable fairy could bring the baby to the
school-house!
La! That wouldn't have done, at all. It
lamb to school, gracious knows. But if Mary
had grown up and married, and been a
teacher, and had heard a little bird whisper
that baby was coming to her, you may be
sure that Mary would have turned out the
school, and gone home, and waited there. for
the fairies to bring to Mary that gift which
the angels smile on before it leaves the great
unseen world where there is nothing ugly
and nothing wrong
But the New York School Board were
lot of horrid men who never had been dim
ply little babies, coong in the arms of young
mothers who looked down upon them with
mother-looks and mother-love, the like of
which are nowhere else in this world.
Those h0Tld men of the School Board
determined to make an example of Mrs.
Pelxotto the teacher who had left her post
of duty and gone home to have her baby.
So the horrid men discharged the young
mother, and when she gets able to go to work
again, she will have to hunt another lob
But there is our Secretary of State who is
paid $4,000 year to stay at his post Of
duty, and he won't stay there.
He perambulates about the country to
county fairs, with Gypsy fddlers, and Tyro-
lese yodlers, and Swiss bell ringers gather
ing up $3.50 a night, when he can't gather
more than that
He will not stay where his $4,000 salary
contemplates. Neither has he gone home to
have baby.
He just wants more money. he says; and
he goes after it. Not only that, he gets it.
Yet no one discharges HIM from his
employment. No horrid School Board
passes on his case.
