The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1919-01-24

The Silent Listener TO Every C0nVer-
salion."
The above beautiful and impressive
motto was noticed by the writer at the
home in Grenada during the past Christ
mas of sister Of one of our citizens,
and we feel free to state that it is the
best motto it has ever been our privi-
lege to read in any home. How ap-
propriate it is. aud how grandly this
motto would adorn every nome
The most important raws for this Vi
entity Of late westhe meeting Tuesday
here of the Muse Snoals Highway As
ISOLATION. Although lhs weather was
somewhat disag5eeaDle yet about 25
delegates from towns along this route
between Iuka and Memphis were pres
ent and a fair attendance Of local peo
ole. although number from other parts
of the cou ity we expected to b.
present. The meeting was opened by
the naming of r N. Ware, Esq, tenn
porary chairman, after which the elec.
ton of officers for the organization to
serve the present year was taken up.
resulting IN the reelection of oil the old
officers by acclamation. Splendid talks
by r. N. Ware, T. B. King, W. S.
Brown and others were made and the
spirit of better roads prevailed thruout
the gathering and each one present de-
termined to do their utmost TO put the
Mussel Shoals Highway through during
the present year. An early meeting of
citizens in Hardeman and Fayette coun-
ties will be called for the purpose of Sc
curing petitions to be presented to the
present Legislature, asking for 2 suita-
ble road law for Tennessee that will
enable each community through which
this highway is routed to issue bonds
for the purpose of constructing this
road and taking the people in those.dls-
tricts. This highway will result good
all over Fayette county and local people
trust that no stones will be thrown in
the way of its success by any Fayette
county tsxpayer, but that they will ev-
cry one lend a helping hand to this
needed and wise project. 1t is only a
question of time wheE Fayette county
peope.will vote for an issue of bonds
for public improvements, yet the only
danger to a bond issue is that the money
be spent wisely. The writer, in talking
on this subject to one of the best men
in Fayette county few days ago while
in Somervile, found this gentleman
agreed with the writer on bond issue,
that the only danger from an act of this
kind would be the expenditure of the
money. The gentleman in question is a
member of the County Court, which
organization numbers among it other
progressive taxpayers who are likewise
mindful on the bond subject. The peo-
pie of this section of the county will be
grateful for any assistance rendered
them In the matter of this highway.

At pretty girls. or even think
About intoxicating drink

To dance or flirt is very wrong

You wouldn't think I'd have much fun
