Good Road Organization

The first organized road associa
tion of Seward county was perfected
last Saturday afternoon In the Blue
Bell nelghborhood east Of Liberal.
The people Of that neighborhood
have a long haul over sandy roads
and they have determined to over
come the hard pull by artificial met
cd, scientific work and cooperation.
The meeting was held at the school
house and officers elected were: II.
M, Boles, chairman and r. L. Neff,
secretary. The next regular meeting
Is to be held the last Saturday night
in April. The organization is to be
known as the Blue Bell Good Road
Organization and officers hold Office
for one year from date of the first
organization. These agreed to fur.

can be made ideal for travelling that
are now in poor condition. Only a
little effort need be made to have
Seward County famous for good roads.
and good roads are only the begin
ming OF better homes and better and
more contented citizenship. If these
people have courage to take up the
proposition of bettering the worst
road in the county, then other com
munities should get in line.

Dudley ran into table, left on the
side walk at the corner OF the Riggle
grocery store. Mr.. Dudley, through
his attorneys, started to file a dam
age suit on the grounds that the in
jury received had caused rupture.
The four hundred dollars settles a
