more money in town tonight"
And with that the undiscovered far
mer sat down.
Other speakers took up his case,
and they pointed out that good roads
were an asset instead of liability,
an economy instead of an expense;
that they brought money into a town
and greatly increased the markets of
the community.
The result was that the commits
sioners enthusiastically passed a re-
solution to issue bonds for three
hundred thousand dollars to give
them several miles of good roads.
The county is more prosperous than
ever, school conditions are better and
the amount of traffic going IN and out
of town has increased several han
dred per cent.
The old-time hostility to good roads
by taxpayers is fast passing away.
Mud holes may look cheap but they
are the costliest things any commun-
ity can have around
Madison County had an assessed
valuation of tiye million dollars which
has increased rapidly since the good
roads were built.-From the Sayville

How a Farmer Carried the Bond Issue

How a Farmer Carried the Bond Issue
The engineer of Madison County.
Tennessee, tells this story, and it's
the best good roads story we ever
heard.
One of the counties there was in
terrible need of better roads. The
mud all through the district was so
deep that it was impossible to use
wagons, all travelling was done either
on foot or horseback.
In spite of the need there was little
enthusiasm for good roads when the
Board of County Commissioners met.
Everyone was afraid of the presumed
high cost and increased taxes.
Suddenly a farmer in the back of
the room arose.
Mr.. Chairman" he said, Il amt fit
to address a dignified meeting like
this, but that's because I've had to
travel for ten miles over the kind of
roads you give us.
81 couldn't drive, | had to ride
horseback.
my boots are covered with mud
my trousers are covered with mud;
my coat is covered with mud; my
hat is covered with mud and If
hadn't stopped to wash it my face
would be covered with mud too.
81 look as if had crawled here on
my hands and knees. and I'm only
half through because I've still got to
go back, with five dollars worth of
groceries that | bought from brother
Fletcher.
IF there had been good hard
road that my old horse could climb up
and draw in load of lumber that I've
get ready, | would have bought
twenty-five dollars worth of groceries
instead of five dollars worth, and
here would have been that much

imately 20 per cent of the amount OF
grain formerly used, enabling the
brewing Of the same volume of beer.
Further provisions are being made
to increase the maximum output of
