HIGHWAY PLANS
UN|E'Y PARTY

With accomplishment of the
1881 program of highway con-
struction in sight; the increase
in school facilities in every Sec
tion of the county completed or
soon to be, and the 1882 program
well-laid-out without an increase
in the tax rate, it is thought
the opposition within the party
to the present Democratic admin
istration in Montgomery county
is gradually losing significance.
A canvass of many persons
formerly aligned with the anti
administration forces failed to dis
close much hope for a virile cam
paign in 1894,
Meantime, the opposition to
the administration forces has not
developed a leader to take the
place of the late DR.. Eugene
Jones.
His following is said to have
been composed of younger voters.
It appears that the county Dem
ocratic administration will find
it's principal opposition in the
ranks Of Republicans.

Sabatini explains the fascina-
ton history holds for him to his
reading as a lad. The library Of
his fathers home was his play
ground and as a mite of a boy
he browsed through history book
after history book. The pictures
attracted him at first. And then
he felt he must know more of
these strangely attired men and
women. Now he believes:
