 days travel over our roads around Brinkley.
 But we are coming and some old day we will have roads. Our farmers will wake up to the fact that they are entitled to the comforts, conveniences and pleasures of motor cars and that. real roads will enable them to save their boys and girls from foolishly leaving the farm homes to go to live in towns, cities, etc. for in place of the country boys wanting to go to the towns to live the city boys and girls would be wanting to go to the country to live. That's the very idea exactly that saves the farm CTS greatest heritage.
 But here's a change-we are running along thro' a country that shows signs of life again. There are real roads and now after a few miles more we come to Tupelo, Miss. It's a cracking good town, by far the best Eve seen today. It looks good, it's clean and well kept and I hear nearly all the passengers in the sleeper talking and asking about it. They have a neat station and have rock platform entending down by the side of the train and right here, let's stick a pin Brinkley MUST have either a brick, granoleth or rock plat form extending from the Rock Island crossing of New Orleans Ave, just west of the Rusher, l to the Cotton Belt crossing of l Ash street, and in addition we should have an umbrella train shed to protect the thousands 1 who use the Brinkley station as a transfer,
