EDITOR REGISTERING see what you
have to say in your paper of lastsweek
and also what the Reynolds County
Outlook says in regard to changing
the Centerville mail route from Sa-
bula to Glover. We are sorry to see
that Mr.. Barnes and his associates
have a remonstrance against carrying
the mail from Glover to Centerville
instead of Sabula. We will admit that
there are two hills going from Glover
to Baskerville, while there is only one
from Sabula, but these hills r grad
ed and perfectly smooth, SO that any
automobile cal go over them; but we
are looking further into the future
when this mail can be carried by Mr..
Barnes and his associates in an auto
truck that will carry from 800 to 1900
lbs, and can leave Glover at Z o'clock
in the morning, arrive at Centervill5
by 10 O'Clock; leave there at IL, and
return to Glover at 2:30 P. M, in time
to get the mail on train No. A; in this
way Centerville will get mail from St.
Louis and return every other day.
l am in correspondence with some
auto makers, suggesting they put high
wheels on the truck, so they can cross
rivers when the water is deep. This
truck will cost less than two wagons;
that is, if the wagons are good enough
ty transport passengers, mail and ex-
press. l am prepared to receive all
express at Glover and receipt for the
same. We also have ample store
room for all the freight and express
received. l do not want to interfere
with the business of the mail carrier;
not a word will be said against his
carrying passengers and express from
Glover. In less than six months we
expect that all the travel and express
going to Hunts Farm, Centerville,
Black and other points west will go
over this road, as I leng ago learned
the better road is always the most
popular with the travelling public. We
are fast improving and always on the
look-ou for'the best.

On account of the small pox cpl
demic at Bonnie Terre there has been
considerable discussion as to the adj
visibility Of the County Board Of
Health suppressing the Fourth of
July celebrations and all other public
gatherings on or lei that date. The
matter was called to the attention of
the Board of Health and on Tuesday
DR.. F. s. Weber and Judge Sid Watts,
members of that body, went over to
Bonnie Terre to Investigate conditions.
They found the situation being well
taken care of by the local authorities
there. There has been a few new
cases developed, but none of them
were outside of the families under
quarantine and the officials have de-
cided that it will not be necessary to
stop the celebrations, hence, we un-
derstand, all will be held as planned

Pursuant to announcement, Mr.. F.
T. Hunt of Reynolds county, gave an
address at the courthouse last Sunday
afternoon. The day was rainy, an al
most continuous shower prevailing
from IL O'Clock until late in the after
noon. From this cause the attendance
at the lecture was not large, but the
few there gathered together enjoyed it
none the less. MI. III. acknowledged
to being a "good roads crank" and
gave excellent reasons therefor.
cannot succinctly follow his discourse
and shall not attempt to do so. But il
was replete with fact and argument,
showing our misfortune in having to
live under present road conditions,
and the good that must result from
their betterment. 1t is a matter for
regret that a large audience was not
present, for the good roads question
concerns us all, and the arousing of
general interest is necessary to the
end desired. l trust Mr.. Hunt will
keep up the fight until ''crankiness''
and persistence shall have been shown
excellent factors in accomplishment,
The REGISTER is with him.

fer to one Improvement caused by the
Glover road at the Bonny Ford on
Mill Creek. the mail from Sabula
crosses this ford and had it not been
for F. T. Hunt and his associates this
ford would never have been fixedan
now the mail hack can get over with
out getting the mail wet.
l will say further that if the agita-
ton for good roads continue, in less
than a years time, the Black river
fords will have concrete bottoms. 1
have had some travelling and business
men tell me that they never expect to
have another a of freight unloaded
at Sabula, and the travelling men say
they never expect to travel that road
again, under ordinary conditions. So
the new road to Glover has come to
stay and there will be more and more
money every year to make it better
and better, and there is no use for a
few to turn their backs on improve
ment.
The people of Missouri have to be
shown, SO all the builders of this road
ask them to come and see, and when
they come, come with their eyes OPP
en-, and come with hearts liberal to all
improvements in Missouri. We have
sold merchandise for "a years, and
we never sold anything to people I'M
less we could show them the goods,
and so it is with this road. The people
must come and see what we have
done.
hope that all who read this letter
will read it with sincere hearts and af-
fection for all mankind who will use
this road. Only sorry that we did,not
see our way clear to establish this inn
provement years ago.
Yours, sincerely, for good roads,
