ed by the farmers of Mason county.
Every man who knows the County
Commissioners personally, believes
that they are giving this matter OF
roads their best thought and yet every
person who travels the roads of Ma
son county must admit that they have
utterly failed. They will continue to
fair too as long as there is the traffic
on these thoroughfares that there is at
present and as long as they continue
to patch up these old macadam roads.
The thinking man is now beginning
to realize that there is but one solu-
ton to the road problem in Mason
county and that solution is some form
of permanent paving.
The city of Maysville had exactly the
same trouble with her streets until
some long-headed Councilman and cit
liens, against great opposition, were
enabled to get the first brick street
down. Under the system of taxing the
adjoining property owner for the i'm
provement, there has always been
some objection to permanent streets in
Maysville, but the great objection was
removed when the first street was laid
and those who live along the paved
streets would not now go back too
macadam for twice the cost Of their
improvement.
Brick, concrete or some other form
of permanent improvement must come
in Mason county sooner or later A
great bond issue will be necessary and
the farmers, who use the roads of the
county as necessities, must stand be-
hind the movement if it succeeds. It's
almost certain that the city tax payers
who use the roads for pleasure, will
do their part when the time comes.
No commissioners will be able to
keep Mason county's roads in good
condition in this day on the present
road tax. Permanent roads must come
in Mason county and they must be paid
for by our taxpayers.

ELDERLY MAN GOOD WALKER
Brooklyn Citizen, Fond of Pedestrian
ism, Has Record That Few Are
Likely to Equal.

Carrot Brewer of this city walked
old. He is now ninety-seyen years old
and for the past three years he has
given up walking as a regular occu-
patton. But for about II years before
that he walked persistently, in bad
weather and good. on week days and
holidays. And this at a time when
he had long passed beyond the three
score and ten years supposed to be
mans allotted span of life.
He used to walk with a pedometer
at his belt as his only companion.
From his former home on WillOugh-
by avenue, he would walk out to the
Williamsburg bridge and across to
Manhattan. This not appearing long
enough for groWnup man, he often
would walk back to the Brooklyn end
of the bridge and then cross and re-
cross the bridge two or three times
before starting home. In his diary he
kept a record of the distances COW
cred on these expeditions. They va
ried from month to month; but seven
years ago, when he had reached the
age of ninety, his walks still averaged
six miles a day. Being now close to
the century mark, he has discontinued
walking out of doors. "a friend Dor
rowed by pedometer," he explained
