she got out Of the buggy to leave the
milk, left the horse standing and her
little three-year- old boy in the bug

Mrs. A. s. Hart, who started to the
place from town expecting to find
the buggy overturned and the child
killed or badly hurt, however, great
was her relief when arriving at the
Anderson place some three miles
from where the horse started, to find
the horse standing at the gate and
the child playing in the buggy. Thus
it is that God in His goodness re-
warded Mrs. Anderson for her kind
ness to the poor, by bringing her own
child safely through danger.

CANAAN NAMED
ROAD ENGINEER
Well Known Turnpike Man viii
Have Charge Of County
ThOr0ughfares.

At a meeaing Of the Montgomery
Fiscal Court held today, at which
all members were present, Mr.. WIN.
H. Canaan was unanimously elected
County Road Engineer for the en-
suing term of two years and immed-
lately qualified by taking oath of
office and executing bond as re-
quired by law. For many years Mr.,
Canaan had charge Of the Maysville
pike, the traffic on which is as
heavy as nearly any turnpike in the
State and is generally regarded as
a capable, experienced and indus
trious turnpike man. He is also an
honorable gentleman and will, in our
Judgment, render entire satisfaction
to the public.
The selection Of Mr.. Canaan came
not as a political reward, hut is bas-
ed on merit alone, as neither Com-
ty Judge Senff, Commissioners Kern,
hart nor Weicn made any pledges
when candidates for the places they
now hold, preferring to be free to do
what they believed to be,the best for
all the people.
In accepting the office, Mr. Canan
assured the Court he would devote
his entire time to the place and bend
every energy to give the county the
best service possible. He appreci-
ates, as do all well informed people,
that he cannot do all he would like
to do, with the limited funds avail
able, but promises to treat all locali-
ties fairly and asks the cooperation
and helpful assistance of the tax
PAYERS and citizens, whose servant
he now is.
Mr.. Canaan succeeds Mr.. w. F.
Horton whose term has just expired
Because of his desire to give his
own personal affairs more of his
time, Mr.. Horton was not a candi-
date to succeed himself. He leaves
the place, however, with the satis-
faction of knowing he has done his
duty well ami that our turnpikes,
taking them as a whole, are in bet
ter condition than ever before in the
county's history.
