to stay when we get there?" This is
easily answered, and if you will go
to the ticket agent of the Kansas
City, Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad Co.,
he will tell you.
Arrangements have been made for
the distribution by the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad Co , of a
pamphlet entitled '"Homes for Vis
itors to tbe World's Fair." This is
a reliable pamphlet containing tbe
names and addresses of about 9,000
families who will furnish accommo
dation to visitors from Mav 1st to
October 31st. 1893 The pamphlet
also contains sectional maps which
will enable the intending visitor to
select any quarter of the city that he
would prefer. Correspondence may
then be carried on and definite ar
rangements made so that when vis
itors arrive in Chicago they cau pro
ceed at once to their quarters. Any
ticket agent of tbe Kansas Citv.

The Springfield Leader mournful
ly asks: ,
'What has become of all the talk
about batter roads, road conventions,
etc , which was so abundant not
long ago? The legislature passed a
road law, it is true, but nothing,
seeuip to have come of it. The trouble
is with direct taxation just as was
predicted. The farmers of the
county for some reason are not
fully aware of the great importance
of good roads, although there are
hopeful signs that they are taking
more interest in tbe matter than
ever before.'-
