McCreary has issued proclamation urging every man

Prominent SchoOI Teacher Dies.

Muhlenbcrg lost one of its lead
ing sch~o teachers when Miss
Mary Belle Fortnsr died at 9
O'Clock last Friday morning at the
home of Mr.. Sam Green, near
Green's Chapel. She WAS teacher
at the Rice schoolhousc, near Ban.
croft, and this was her third years
work in that section. She was
making her home with Mr.. y. W
McCown and family, but on the
Saturday previous had gone to Nj.
Green's home on week end visit.
Saturday night she was taken i'll suf-
fer'ng from acute Indigestion, and
although everv eff ut WAS made ia
relieve her suffering, it proved un-
availing. There were few better
known teachers in the county, and
none more beloved, as she had
made a host of friends among the
teachers, and among the patrons
and pupils wherever she has been
located. She had unusual talents,
and was a Christian woman OF
strength and sweet personality. The
body was carried to her home at
Diamond Springs, accompanied by
her father and mother and a large
number of friends of the neighbor-
hood. Interment was made Sunday
afternoon, and there was large at
tendance of relatives and friends.
Her death has caused the widest
sorrow IN this and Logan counties.

GOOD ROADS DAYS.
Gov. AcCreary Issues Proclamation
Urging Kentuckians 10 Work
Roads On Oct. "A and Is.

Gov. McCreary has issued a
proclamation designation Octo-
ber 81 and 25 rs Goods Roads
days and calling on all citizens
on those days to get ont and
work the roads of their counties
between the hours of 8 a. m.
and 5 p. m.
The proclamation follows:
Il have received letters from
various persons requesting me
to issue proclamation designat-
ing two days for work on the
roads of the state; and the Ken
tucky Goods Roads Association,
held September l6, 1918. at the
State Fair, Louisville, KY,
Unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolution:
BE it resoved that this asso-
citation request the governor
James B. McCreary, to desig-
nate two days in the latter part
of October to be set saide for the
purpose of work on the public
roads in the state of Kentucky
and that Messrs. Harry Summers,
Joseph Bosworth and R. C..
Terrell be appointed as a commit
tee to wait upon the government
and present this resolution to
him."
Pursuant to these requests,
| | now issue this, my proclama-
tion, calling upon the people in
every county of the state of
Kentucky to work on the roads
in their respective counties on
Friday and Saturday, October
"a and 25. 1918, commencing at
eight O'Clock in the morning,
each day. and continuing until
5 o'clock in the afternoon.
THE county judge and engi-
neer of each county are directed
to aid the people in complying
with this request, and in circulat-
ing proper notices: and they are
authorized to select such persons
as may be needed to assist.
In every county where there is
no engineer, or where they fail
to act, the sheriff or other per-
sons are authorized to organize
and comply with his proclama-
tion.
Good roads facilitate the
labor of farmers in bringing
their products to market; in
crease the benefits of rural edu.
cation by providing means by
which the children of the state
can go regularly to the neighbor-
hood schools; furnish a better
and easier way for the people
to go to church, and greatly en-.
hance the value Of farm lands.
This proclamation refers to
dirt roads, turnpike and gravel
roads, and as Kentucky always
takes the lead In every meve.
ment and as Kentuckians de-
sire the butterment of our high
ways, they must come forward
with enthusiasm energy, and
show the people of other states
thet they can equal or surpass
them in the Improvement of
their roads.
In testimony whereof | have
caused these letters to be made
patent, and the seal OF the
commonwealth to be hereunto
affixed. Done at Frankfort
the first day of October. in the
year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and thirteen, and
lin one hundred and twenty
second year Of the common
wealth.
