BONO THE COUNTY
AND BU'LD A ROAD
DO IT BY CONTRACT AND
FREE LABOR.
BOND THE COUNTY: That
is an unpopular expression in this
county and is opposed by all who
have not studied the subject from
this point of view, but there are
several, especially our heaviest tax
payers who are in favor of issuing
bonds for road purposes in prefer
ence to building them by convict
labor or any other plan. And
why, because it can be done quick
er, better and cheaper by the bond
ing method than any other way.
Our plan, which is not altogether
original, is this.
BOND THE COUNTY", and
build a pike from State line to
Stale line, north and south through
the county. It is only about 24
miles distance and the road can be
built for not exceeding SIOOO a
mile which would cost $24,000.00.
There will be other necessary ex
penses incident to the project
which can be met with 6 or 6
thousand dollars added would
make it necessary to issue bonds
not exceeding $30,000.00 to build
the road*
PLAN.
Have a survey made, plans and
specifications drawn, by an expert
engineer, issue the bonds, contract
the work to expert road builders,
after advertising according to law
for the best bidder require a good
and sufficient bond in twice the
amount of the contract price, let
the job, require contractor to begin
in the center of the county and
work both ways at the same time
and build the road.
CHANGE THE LAW AND
CREATE SINKING FUND.
Have our representative to
change the present road law,
something like as follows: Re
quire all persons subject to road
duty pay into the county treasury
Flower Language Fast Cards—a Series of 12 Free la You
Do you know the meaning of the flower language? Can you read the
message of the Rowers? If you are a lover of souvenir post caras this
series will appeal to you.
Yoti may have this set of beautiful flower cards; you may have them
absolutely tree and prepaid if you will send me only 10 cents for a four
months’ trial subscription to the Southern Agriculturist. These post cards
are strictly high class. Each card represents a beautiful scenic view
and has the meaning of the flower language worked out most beautifully
In flower mottoes and floral designs. To Illustrate, in this series the
poppies spell out the words “I dream of thee,” the lilies “peace,” the
chrysanthemums “I love you,” the violets “faithfulness,” etc. You won’t
be disappointed because these cards a.re really different from the ordinary
kind o.nd are novel in design and attractive in appearance. These cards
are taken frjom real paintings, and are reproduced on excellent coated
paper that is waterproof and not easily soiled.
Write to me personally to-day and I’ll lose no time in sending them
to you—charges prepaid. Remember this also; every one that answers
promptly gets a pleasant surprise. Don’t forget to ask about it. My
supply of cards Is limited, so do not delay. D. R. OSBORNE, Nashville, Tenu.
EVERYTHING
An unlimited stock of the right goods.
‘goods that you want.
Will tuy if you see them fi.st. Prices are
’guaranteed to be satisfactory for cash or its
"Wjuiyalc-nt.
$4.00 each, per year, continue the
present rate of ad valorem tax and
pay it into the Treasury. Let
these two items of taxation be our
road fund. Deduct from this am
ount each year enough to pay in
terest on the bonds annually and
commission fees and place the bal
ance in a bank at interest to be
compounded twice a year, adding
to it annually (each years) collec
tions and in ten years time the
• bonds will be wiped out of exis
tance and we will have been en
joying a pike road through the
county in the mean tune. This is
the sinking fund* (If you doubt
th s figure it out. Figures won’t
lie.) Also amend the present
road law, in this connection, so as
to do away with all bonded com
missioners, convert the road dis
tricts into just two districts and
have two citizens as inspectors to
act with the Ordinary, and require
them to inspect the road once or
twice a month and pay them a
per diem for their services. Let
this constitute the board of spec
ial County Road Commissioners
with full authority to see to it
that the contract is fully complied
with. Prescribe an oath to them
for faithful performance of duty.
YYHO PAY'S FOR IT
UNDER THIS PLAN.
This is a crude plan,, but the
ideas are alright and can easily be
shaped into perfection and the
road can be built by it without
levying an extra cent of taxes for
the purpose. As it is now the cor
porations in the county pay about
two-third of our present advalo
r m t ix, and aside from the other
one-third paid by the tax payers
of the county and the $4.00 derived
from each road hand, the money
from these corporations will build
the road.
NOT CONVICTS,
BUT FREE LABOR.
This does away with convict
labor, as the contractor cannot
work them, and give free labor the
job. This would mean many days
of employment to our citizens at a
good wage and thereby keep this
money at home, where it should
stay.
BY roads;
The question arises. What wiil
we do with onr by roads! The
county will not average more than
four miles wide from State line to
State line throughout. This would
give not exceeding two miles on
either side of the pike, in each
community where there is a road;
in the valley, to be worked, and
five mountain roads. The valley
roads are easily worked and the
citizens would be willing to keep
them up in their immediate vicin
ities, by the Kentucky plan of
taking a drink, and that is to all
fling in and pay their part.
We take care of the mountain
roads, and which would give them
more money, on an average, in
crease the present ad valorem 5
per cent per annum and apply it
on the mountain roads. Have one
commissioner lor each road, to
concur with each other. If these
roads are somewhat neglected, if
is better to pull over bad roads
TWO MILES to get to a pike than
to have all the roads remain in
their present condition.
BEST CONDITION.
This is the very best investment
that can possibly be made by the
citizens of this county. It is fight
ing the impliment trust in the
saving the wear and tear ot your
vehicles. They will last Jtwice as
long It saves your stock. They
w ill last longer and be better and
more valuable. It will save rail
road fare, and t avel through our
beautiful valley to the city will be
a pleasure. It will save height
rates for every merchant and lar
mer that has goods to haul to and
from market. It will bring in
new citizens and enehance and in
crease the value of your property.
It will be better for you, in every
way while you live, and a lasting
monument to your memory when
you are dead and gone.

When it became an established fact
that Daniel Forbes would never go
woo: a,; dn Ids own account, his mother
undertook to manage the delicate af
fair for him. She selected Lucy Wil

“Now, you go over there tonight,”
she directed her son. “Lucy’s willing,

of. Lucy’s so lively and runs on so 1

Although David turned pale under
his tan. he prepared to obey. He drove
p : t the Wilson farmhouse twice, but
on approaching the third time, just as
he was about t* enter recklessly, he
sow Lucy on the porch, and. turning
lib: a '";’,e about, he (led.
Thus abruptly ended David’s first nd
vs’kw toward matrimony. Indignant.
Lucy cuickiy accepted another swain,
and David settled down to what
seemed hopeless bachelorhood.
One’morning in midsummer when
the Hr t luscious blueberries were ripe
Mrs. Forbes asked David to take a
half day from the farm work and go
to the mountain for blueberries. David
ag’ve:! and startetUoff with a basket
a either arm. Many berry pickers
were at work on the lower slopes and
near the path, but David, who had suf

farther on. circling around to the
wilder, steeper side of the mountain.

dargluers and the village girls did not
wear thin pink -dresses when they

Tavi.l had observed more than Ills

v . '.ted. a moment to sot 4 who this girl
was. Qr.llo unexpectedly she stooged
into full view, scarcely live yards from
him. There was no retreating then.
David bent over the bushes indus
triously.
The fair stranger (in the one brief
glance David found that she was both
fair mi l a stranger) was picking too.
She had half tilled a fanciful little bas
ket. David wondered why she was
alone so far from the frequented
paths.
The girl examined the big. handsome
farmer through downcast lashes, and
she was at on.ro Interested.
“Why doesn't Tie speak V” she thought
“The others all do. 1 wonder he
