LINCOLN BOND ELECTION

By the smsiori'y of only 81
votes, the proposition to issue
SI3o, 900 in bonds to build new
pixies and improve the old roads
in Lincoln county was defe ted at
the special election Saturday.
The vote was S64 for the bonds
and 9l6 against. The question
whether a two thirds vote is
necessary to vote bonds is now be
fore the court. Many contend
Ghat the co1rts will hO.d that only
a majority vote is required, which
is what tho e who favored the
bond issue hoped to get in the
election Saturday. Those who
are for bond i,sue to rebuild the
lincoln county roads say taat an
other election will be called with
IN a few months when the BAD
condition of the public thorough
fares becomes more apparent to
the people as winter weather sets
in. An analysis of the vote cast
SHOWS that only very small part
of the voting population of Lincoln
county participated in the cleo
ton. Out of about 1000 votes in
the county less than 1900 votes
polled, which shows an amazing
lack of interest in the subject
Up il the Ia t End the vote was
overwhelmingly in favor Of the

THE highway question is still
live one, and not dead, as some 10,
cal people lave been led to be
lieve, on account of a few of our
counties seeming to be asleep in the
line of construction, among them
is our own county, tho indications
are that portion of one of the
three lines will be let within the
next five weeks. The Dixie
Boone will be completed thru Bell
county before Chri,tm Knox
and Laurel are In about the same
shape as Rockcas,le as far as con
struction is Orcerned. There is
no doubt that these thru highways
will be built. but the long della,
in beginning the work in the
three counties mentioned is an
noying to say the least.
In connection with the LEA
counties that are applicants fo'
state aid to apply OH inter county

a number of important thru high
ways including Booze Way from

Nashville. The Northern termi-
nus of Dixie Highway is Chicago;
the Southern is Miami Florida,
with East and Vest loops at Indi

to run from Chicago to Nashville
via Evansville, Henderson, Hop

probably be routed via Bards

Children's Colds

Neglect of children's colds often lays the

Plenty of fresh air in the bedroom and

The Fable Of The Loafer.

Once upon a time there was a
"good-f or-nothing," who refused
to follow his fathers trade of
stone-cutter and became a loafer.
He was fat and ugly, with a short
bull-neck, a round, bald head,
thick lips, protruding eyes and
snub nose. He spent his time
talking, with whomsoever would
listen to him. He respected no
one, rich or poor. He loved a
joke, went barefoot and allowed
his clothes to become soiled. He
spent most of his time drinking
at the public drinking place.
Finally he married, but instead
Of reforming his ways, he con.
tinued to loaf along the streets,
talking, and refused to earn
money to support himself and
his wife. Frequently the woman
could be seen leading him through
the streets by the ear, beratine
him soundly with her tongue, and
frequently with a broomstick,
That man was Socrates the
wisest man the world has ever
seen. He had the greatest brain
of any man who has ever lived
He was the father of philosophers
the greatest Of thinkers.
MORAL: Don't judge a mar
by his habits.
