TO THE CITIZENS
OF Garrard County.

As the matter Of rebuilding and
improving our roads is By far the
most important question that con
fronts our County. as well as all our
neighboring counties at the present
time, I. as head Of the Fiscal Court Of
Garrard County had determined last
year that would call n meeting Of
the citizens and find out what the
sentiment Of our people was in re.
gard to supplying the funds for road
improvement. =
suppose ! received at least n doz-
en- letters from the State Road De-
partment the past year urging that
Garrard County take a vote on the
twenty cent road tax. and while
fully realized the pressing need Of
the funds this would make available.
still IL seemed TO me that the tax
payers Of Garrard County, and more
particularly the farmers felt that
they were already so burdened by the
greatly increased assessment impos-
ed on real estate by the state tax
commission that unless every one
could realize the need Of more money
for road improvement the twenty
cent tax would be voted down, and
the County only thrown to the need.
less expense Of holding the election
Therefore I determined to defer &C.
ton in the matter until this year
just at this time an opportunity
presents itself which it seems to me
we cannot afford to let pass. and that
Is the question Of securing a Fed.
eral Highway through our County
provided we can supply the funds for
the eounty's part Of the work. and "a
this end wish 20 ask every tax payer
Of our county who is interested in
road Improvement. 70 meet with the
Fiscal Court in Lancaster on Wed.
nesday. January 2ist. 1920, to dis.
cuss the question as to the matter OF
making the money available for the
work.
II is clear to every thinking person
that in the very near future we must
come TO some other mode Of road
construction than that at present EN-.
ployed in our county.
I am firmly Of the opinion that
within the next three years the yer,
best macadam road that can be bull
unless it has a surface treatment OF
some kind. will be worn out by th,
increased automobile and truck traf
fic in less than a year from the time
il is built.

near future any way il would Ger.
tainly be unwise to let this opportun.
ity pass when the Government i.
willing TO bear one half Of the ex,
pense Of hard surface road through
our county.
At the citizens meeting requested
il is desired to have an open discus.

points, and find what seems to be

to making the money available

marks being considered highly signifi-
cant, coming from the former governor
OF a Northern state. He said:
While feel that the general govern

eral states. is usurping the functions
and killing the initiate Of the individual
states, am quite convinced that the one
good thing which it is doing in this way
is the building of good roads. The fed
eral government has the cleanest, finest,
ablest and most disinterested road engi-
neers in the world. 1t has, in my opin-
ion, constitutional authority to improve
the post roads of the country. But the
aid heretofore given has been generous
~ used in piecemeal by rich counties
matching their dollars against the gem
eral governments dollars.
Il am quite convinced that the con-
gressional sentiment is that the several
states of this Union may as we'll make
up their minds that if there is to be fur
Their federal appropriation on the fifty

TO construct an equal mileage of laterals

Punch and Pep
In Olive Thomas's
Latest Offering

If Olive Thomas has anything to do
with it. it is certain there will be a
whole lot of beauty to the play in
addition to the rare charm of this
beautiful Selznick star. There is a
whole lot of this desirable quality to
THE Glorious Lady" in which Miss
Thomas will be seen at the Colonial
theatre today. More than that, it is
filled with pep and punch and power.
1t is the third Selznick picture in
which this talented actress has ap-
peared, and those who have seen it
in other cities declare it is the best
thing she has yet done.
The opening punch" in the play
concerns a point to point" race, the
English equivalent of our American
steeplechaSe, in which the principal
contenders are the Duke of Loame-
Matt Moore in this part is as if to
the manor born-and Ivis Benson,
charming peasant girl of ancient but
plebian lineage. In this role Miss
Thomas has far exceeded any of her
previous performances.
How the barriers of traditions are
overthrow and the lovers find ulti-
mate happiness is shown in one of
the finest stories of the stars ca
reer. Interest is sustained right to
the very end when the play finishes
with novel and gripping climax.
