THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS
Purdy.
V: "
Now, on the Road question,
since I wrote last, I have been
over the county quite a lot and
hear the road question discussed
on every hand, at mills, shops,
stores and homes. I find three
classes of men by hearing the
talk going on. One is a class not
in favor of taxes for roads.
These fellows don't pay on noth
ing but their heads, as they don't
own any property at all and they
don't put up a very good argu
ment against the road question.
There is another class, but not
so many of them, that say we
can't build the roads, and that it
would not be fair, as those living
two or three miles from the roads
that would be made, would not
receive the same benefit as those
that live on the roads. These
fellows are property owners and
they are against advancement in
schools, churches, farming or
roads. They would not spend
one dollar if they could get one
dollar and a half in return for it.
There is another class that more
than doubles the other two class
es. They are most all tax payers
and are for advancement on all
lines. They are for the 25cts
tax on the hundred dollars and
are very anxious to have the
roads built. These men ace talk
ing roads and say that if we
keep on, on the old system of
plowing and digging up the road
late in the fall, as has been the
custom of late years, that trav
el will soon be stopped during
winter and spring and they are
not in favor of that kind of work
as it and the taxes here before
spent, have been a failure as all
well know is true, that have
traveled any of our county roads
this winter. They are for that
'that will stand the much increas
ed travel and heavy hauling that
go over the roads. I often hear
remarks like this from good men
that they will not support men
for office who are not for the
roads. Let us ke,ep the road ques
tion hot till the magistrates meet
and show them that a majority
of the people are in favor of
building the pikes. We should
not let other counties be ahead
of us in this good work of build
ing roads. We can not make out
with roads that we could fifty
years ago. Lets hear from you
if you are for the roads and if
you are against them, give your
reason for being against them.

A number of our subscribers
have expressed a desire that the
Kicker should furnish weather
reports again this coming winter.
Only one out of every thirteen of
the predictions of last winter
were verified, but if our readers
are satisfied we are, and will
take up the old thing again as
we know how.
They are telling of a little cy
clone over at Grass Valley which
blew the hair off a cinnamon
bear and drew nails from fence
posts. We don't doubt it. The
only safe way for a man to keep
his breath in this country is to
believe all he hears, especially if
it seems improbable.
The Great Arizona Irrigation
and Garden Land company is an
organization composed of two
swindlers and a rascal. The
cash capital is about 10, and the
plant consists of five gallons of
water and half an acre of sandy
soil. If the Eastern suckers
take the hook after this it is not
our fault.
Another instance that adver
tising pays. Mr. John Holmes,
the grocer, refused to advertise
in the Kicker on the grounds
that no one read advertisements.
We .shot him in the shoulder, se
cured a half column ad, and yes
terday he told us that his trade
had doubled. We stand ready to
shoot and convince others.
We understand that certain
parties in this town have writ
ten the Postmaster General that
we play poker. Yes, we do, but
we play it as editor, and not as
postmaster, and would like to sit
down in a game with the P. G,
if
himself, if he is inclined that
way.
Any one who argues that our
popularity as mayor of this town
is on the wane is referred to the
fact that last week we had 288
invitations to take a drink.
Cocktails show which way the
wind blows, and it is needless to
say we accepted them all.
We believe that what is to
happen will happen. In other
words, we give Lawyer Dodge
due notice that if he brings an
other libel suit against the Kick
er we will call at his office and
make him eat all the papers in
the case, with a few deeds and
bills of sale as a windup to the
matter.

Lone Jack seems to need an in

three different times and yet he I
is walking around to-day in good j
health. j
Mr. Hennessey, of the Bluej

Dog restaurant, explains that he
had to shoot the man Taylor the
other day because he insisted on
eating with his fingers. The
shooting was perfectly proper.
Civilization and the wooden han
dled knife are here, and people
who Tefuse to recognize the fact
should- have it shot into them.

A MAN AND HIS WORK.
Without Interest In the Task Efficiency

A man's luck is as hard as adamant
if be is not in love with the Avork he
does as with a maid he woos. It is a
miserable thing to care for one's occu
pation mprely because it shuts out the
"thoughts that burn like irons if you
think." Any trade or profession you
could name is a poor affair if it is but
a time killer, a stop gap, an opiate, tbe
ballast of tbe dirigible life. You hear
a man start his work with a faint tap
at a clock stroke, and you hear Mm
drop it with a loud thud at another
clock stroke, and you know his soul
and his brain are not alive In the thing
that he is doing. Why? A thousand
men are a thousand reasons why.
Any man who can be accurately stig
matized as efficient (dreadful word!)
brings all of himself to the task In
hand. He brings not merely his sixth
sense and his fourth dimension to bear
on his concerning handful, but every
bit of vital electricity in the storage
batteries of his whole being When he
has done his level best he is. as we
ironically say, "played out." and he is
supposed to take a rest, which may as
sume the form of harder labor than
ever in a wholly different field of en
deavor In fact, the man who has formed the
habit of work is never happy to be idlf
It is no use to extend to him the pros
pect of complete hiatus in the name of
a vacation. The program of the null
and void would assure him an acute
uneasiness. There is a saying that na

This is the "ThornhilP Wagon -the
Wagon that Must Make Good
The best known materials the labor
of master workmen the aid of the most
ingenious modern machinery have been
employed to make the Thornhill wagon.
The wheels are made with excessive
care. For the spokes the manufacturers
use the finest hickory machine driven
to insure the right dish. The hubs arc
of oak,' thoroughly seasoned and banded
with double refined sable iron.
The bolsters are of the best white oak.
They have an iron plate at top and bot
