although he did not know at that
time who he was), ayes, but you
fellows in Mt. Sterling have. from
what 7 have heard, something that
is going to make for equally as much
for your town." ''What's that?"

Chamber of Commerce you have re-
Gently organized there"-and THEN

the members of either house op-
posed prohibition enforcement,
only six senators voting against
the law. enforcement bill on final
passage. While the vote in the
House against il was larger, some
of II was on account of certain
provisions rather than tn express
opposition to The. enforcement OF
the prohibition law. The bill
was offered in the House by
Representative Homer q. McLel-
Ian, of Louisville, a Republican.
The Senate bill. which provides
heavy penalties for moonshining,
was introduced by j. d. WhiteA-
ker, Democrat, and j. Wood

Time to Work Roads

Right now is the most accepta-
BILE time to improve the roads.
They should be ditched on both
sides and dragged down In shape
after rain. III this should be done
now, they would soon pack down,
and with the water run off of
them, they would be good all sum-
mer. A we'll crowned and drain.
ed road will not get verv muddy,
except after freezes. Now that
the freezes are virtually all past,
the roads should be put in a con-
dition that will make them good
for the season and keep them
from rutting as they generally do
from spring and summer rains.
Good roads WELD splendid re-
turns To every body in the conn.
ty, so every one can afford TO help
put them in repair at a time the
same work will do mos. good.
While the ground ie soft the same
labor can do twice or three times
as much ditching as later, when
