CITY STREETS TO
BE THE BEST EVER
Tarvia Work To Start Soon and
Several Miles VIII Be Treat
ed Before Winter

The first tarvia to be placed on
the city streets, it is expected,
will be put down some time next
week, and indications are that the
extension work on the several
streets of the city will be finished
before the city paving is complet-
| ed. Residents of various parts of
the city want the tarvia placed as
soon as possible, and this, togeth-
er with the contemplated side
walk and gutter improvement I'M
der contemplation means that the
streets of the city will be placed
in good condition before winter,
unless cold weather arrives at an
earlier period than usual.
The work1nen who have been
busily engaged in both Fayette
and Clark counties, are to close
the task soon with the result that
they will give theis attention to
Madison county. The travia COM
pany has a big force of worknen
and machines which are to be
used in the distribution and appl1-
cation of the new coat for high
ways, and it is expected that the
first work in the city will be on
! Lower Walnut street, where res
idents first petitioned for the i'm
lprovement. They are of the be
lief that this is the most oppor-
tune time to place the tarvia, I'M
less there are too many heavy fall
rains, and that the result will be
seen even next spring.
The city council has promised
that all the tarvia desired would
be applied to the streets of the
city and this is being looked after
by Councilman Charles Terrill, OF
the street committee, who has an
ample supply ordered. The ex-
tension work means that in sever
al instances the street improve
ment will not be concluded with
the ending of the asphalt streets,
but the tarvia will be applied and
extended, perhaps, far into the
county, making the entrances tic
the city more attractive for per
iod of several miles in some in
stances. The finishing of this
work as we'll as that Of the streets
inside the city limits, it is believed
will make the streets generally
more attractive and better thar
lever before.

SOME A6E,

Ihere is an old man living in
the mountain region of Kentucky
who claims 10 be l31 years old saw
ing that he. has records to show
that he was born in Tennessee in
1888. His recipe for good health
and long life is plenty of fresh air
and hard work and he won't bundle
up just because the weather is a
little chilly. He seldom wears
shoes. says they hurt his feet. In
all his 13l years he has not worn out
more Than half a dozen pairs of
shoeS. tic never wraps up his
neck, but Winter and Summer goes
about with his shirt unbottoned
at the throat and part of his chest
exposed. The reason so many
people have colds. he says. is be-
cause they bundle up their nccks.
The theories Of health and iongc-
witty that Uncle John proinulgates
are not derived from books on
health or hygiene. Uncle John
can't read books. He never has
learned the mysteries of the alpha
BET. His ideas are solely the result
OF his own experiences, and he is
living proof that in his case, mt least
they will work.
His mode of life has made of
Uncle John remarkably vigorous
old man, considering the amazing
span Of years he has enjoyed. He
mbveS about, his Little mountain
HON. with the sprightliness of half
his years. He does chores that
many a man of sixty would deem
too arduous. His handclasp is Wig
orous; his movements quick and
his eyes still gleam with the fires
of a youth long past. He is five
feet five inches tall and weighs 1903
pounds, and his body is wiry and
erect. Only his halo of fine white
hair and the multitude of wrinkles
that crease his wiZened face give
proof of his extreme old age.
Uncle John is living now with
hS second wife. His first wife died
young-she was only ninety. About
the Kentucky cabin where the aged
man lives there plays lively
youngster Of five years who is Uncle
Johns latest progeny and his chief
companion. He is teaching Albert
as his son is named, the secret Of
the woodsman and hunter-how 10
hold rifle, bait a trap and manipu-
late a fishing rod.
He was not allowed TO enlist dur
ing the Civil War because too old.
He says he remembers when George
Washington died.
The old man was, at Lexington
some months ago for the first time.
The story Of his life and age seems
to be well authenticated.
