The Sequatchie Vallev is beauti
ful provided one had wings to view
it by, but you positively cunnot
eeo Uio coi'nty for the dreadful
roads,
A go-cnrl, a carriage, a wagon or
an automobile are out of ilie ques
tion. Only a mule and a man who
Iihs lout all serine of feeling, physi
cal, moral. political and religious,
can travel such roads, I was going
to say, but I will dihiigo it and say
only a man wlm lots infinite pa
tience, unending endurance, and
who has vowed never to break the
second commandment should risk
his life or bin reputation upon
them.
Nature gave to the valley beauti
ful scenery, a fertile yielding soil,
and such environments should pro
duce progressive, public-spirited
men, Every man in the county
whu- opposes any measure whatso
ever that assures us good roads
should bo buried alive to the tune
of Tom Hood's
'Hattle his bones over the stones,
Only a poor pauper whom nobody
owns "
When Rome ot old conquered
the then known world, she hewed
her way into every country by the
building of the famous Roman
toads, and civilization followed fast
in the way of every Roman road.
There is nothing else under the
sun so civilizing as well kept roads
wherever you find them tor you
can count on good schools, thrilty
churches, and prosperous people.
The man who hauls his produce to
market over a fine road holds his
head more erect, carries himself
were proudly than the mat) who
hag all the style thumped out of
him jolting over the stones and in
to the ruts. Progress and prosper
ity go hand in hand with good
roads. Let us all join bands and
girdle the county with u system of
fine roads.

Something got after our chickens the

the short ribs with her fist, and I shot
out to the cbickon bouse to seo what it
