But Mr.. Editor, while good

am opposed to adopting MIR. j. II.
Wellborn's plan of building a rock
road from Starkville to Maben
and then stor. | believe in g,avel
roads where gravel is necessary,
and where sand-clay will suffice
using that; but l am unwilling for
a levy to be made or bonds issued
for just one or two roads in the
county. ! have no plans, but
when bonds are issued or a tax
levied, it should be for the whole
county One thing that has been
the undoing of Starkvllle and the
driving of her trade away, has
been our petty selfshiness and
marrow view point. Let the bonds
issue, and not to promote any road
or the interest of any person; but
for the good of all the people. No
county that has issued bonds re.
grets it. No people who have good
roads w0uId not be without them.
No lands have suffered LII market
value because ~ bond issue for
good roads,. The first thing o
prospective settler asks is about
your churches, schools and roads,
without which "a desirable citizen
will hardly locate. Civilization OF |
the best order follows roads. but |
does not proceed them. Sell bonds
and build them. In the language
of Tom Harpole at the 4th of Jul,
Barbecue. Sell bonds. you will
never have thera 10 pay. When !
you die yanr children will renew
them aud sell more to build better
roads. Then let the roads radiate
ont from Starkville, and the other
towns in the county, so the people
San be gathered in together. Sell
bonds and hWiia roads before the
other aaanties and towns leave usi
too far behind.
