Governor Addresses Members.
The subject of the Good Roads
day celebration was the chief one
discussed at the Chamber of Com
merce membership meeting Tuesday
night, when Governor Lister ad-
dressed the members Informally for
about an hour, declaring the celebra-
ton of the day the biggest single
factor in cementing a better feeling
of cooperation and promoting bet
ter spirit between business men and
farmers.
you cannot accomplish much OF
a permanent nature in the short space
of eight hours" he said, "but it is
the enthusiasm that counts. The
fact that you get the business men
out to meet the farmers, showing
that you are as interested in the
county roads as the city streets, will
create a better feeling and instil a
new spirit in every one for next years
Good Roads day, so that in the end
permanent benefit will result"

calm, authoritative voice in the hall be-

himself attended by ghosts. In that
