WAYSIDE WISDOM
A GOOD BEGINNING
BY S. E. Kiser

TODAY is starting we'll for me;
IL found. when unclosed my eyes
At waking time, that l could see.
And ! was able to arise;
Not only that, but l could walk
Without an effort or an ache;
| had not lost the power to talk.
My faculties were all awake.
7 SAW the good sun rising where
Il 1t ought to rise when all is right;
/ heard no hopeless cry, and there
Was not a monstrOus beast in sight;
Beside a lawn, Stiil wet with dew,
Were clustered roses. pink and red;
I gazed out at the world, and knew
That still the sky was overhead.
MO warlike sound assailed my ears.
~ No wreck Of Nature had occurred;
Where hills had stood for countless years
They stood mistaken and unblurred;
No poison caused the air to kill.
No maddened mob was at my door;
The world was rolling onward still, :
The sea had not torn down the shore.
THE night was gone and I, awake,
l. Possessing STRENGTH and speech and sight
Was free to think and free to take
The course that considered right.
With I'll the universe intact,
With light spread o-"r land and sea,
l chenrfuIly record this fact:
Today Is starting well for me.

grade. Some surfacing will be
done during this year. Laurel
county is pushing surfacing on
several sections and expects to
have completed line across the
county by fall. Rockcastle river
bridge is being erected at the
Laurel l-Rockcastle line, most OF
the steel having already been
placed. This will complete the
list of bridges on the Dixie High,
way and Boone Way. Most OF
Rockcastle section of the road
will be surfaced by fall. Owing
to late spring rains the road,
where not surfaced, has been GU!
up by traffic while in a muddy
condition. Some places in Rock
castle and Laurel are vet in {
rough condition, though they arc
being ironed out by the use o.
graders and scrapers by rca(
gangs in the various counties, and
