GOOD ROADS
Old Man Tells Of Enjoyment Driving
over Splendid Thorouahfares In
Wheeling District This Fall.

An old man who had lived in Wheel
ing all his life and had driven a horse
and buggy for more than a score or
years, but who recently purchased
an automobile. said the other even
ing; Il thought that my wife and 1
were enjoying life bu driving about
this vicinity in our buggy, but that
was not life Friday evening I got
into my Ford auto with her sitting at
my side and we drove way out INTO
the country, perhaps IL miles. the
harvest moon shone brightly. We
had driven with a horse many years
when the same harvest moon was in
all her glory. but never in an auto
and when the roads were in such GOOD
condition. II was a delightful ride
as We spun along in the car and IL
seemed almost daylight"
That little story of the old man wbo
had for so many years driven In a
buggy with his wife. tells a more con
Yincing story OF the betterment or
the roads In this section than all the
good road press stories that have
been published.
The farmer years ago "cussed" TIE
automobile. but they today are prais-
ing them for well the tiller OF the son
knows that they are largely respon.
sioie Tor the improved roads.
