We believe that we could make no
more acceptable expression Of our
thanks TO Almighty God, the Father
Of all, for another year OF national
well-being.
The suffering caused by the war
is without precedent, and hence the
Federal Council feels that every
spiritual persuasion should be
brought To bear, and every prac-
teal opportunity presented where
by our people may offer up their
sacrifices upon this altar and help
our brothers 10 bear their crosses.

Four Reasons Why We Should Vote for a
Free Bridge Across the Kentucky River
on the Richmond Lexington Pike

First the free bridge is necessity. The spirit of
the times and the progressive citizenship of Madison
demand il as an economic necessity.
Second: the additional cost to the taxpayers will
practically be nothing II the taxpayers should be called
upon to pay the entire amount in year would only
cost &c on the SIoo taxable value. This could be
surden to citizen.
Third the Dixie Highway is located through Mad
ison County upon condition that free bridge be main
tanned over the Kentucky River Madison County people
cannot afford to lose the Dixie Highway.
Fourth: Madison County will have equal control of
the bridge and will have the right to determine questions
in respect to the of the bridge. If nteruban
railway be built the bridge, must be built the
Rockcastle line
Mr.. Voter can you afford to vote against your
interests December 9TH!
