laudable undertaking; and if our
town shall be so fortunate as to
secure the road, it being the
county seat, we believe the en
tire county should have just
cause to feel proud. With a
highway running east and west,

us, and almost her entire popy-

Now that a State Highway has
been designated from Corsicana
to Houston, it is up to every
county on the route to gel busy
and vote bonds for the building
of these highways. Neither the
State nor Federal Government
intend to help construct roads
unless the people help them
selves. The State Highway will
not be built through Freestone,
Leon or any other county that
does not first voteIjoiftra
the goods purchased here to
their stores. These visiting
merchants usually attend to con-
siderable other business while
in Dallas.
Delivery of goods to near-by
towns by automobile—whether
by the conveyance of the seller
or the buyer—has many advan-
tages over rail shipments. The
goods are delivered quicker and
at a smaller expense. There is
no expense of hauling goods to
and from freight cars, deliveries
being made direct to the stores.
The expense of packing is saved
in mayy instances. A represen-
tative of the buyer and seller is
on band when every delivery is
made, and the troubles aad de-
lays of damage suits against
railroads are eliminated.
In addition to being a sue
-Competitor with the rail-
build as good roads as they pos-
iibly can. When the people do
their part, the State and Federal
Governments will lend their aid
and do their part—not before.
Like Ft-eestone county, Leon
will reap more benefit from a
firrt class State highway than
she would from another railroad.
Last week we gave the
amount sent away from Kirven

The Boren-Stewarb Grocery

department, said: “Merchants
come here in their own trucks
from Pilot Point, Terre 1, McKin-
ney, Waxabachie, Mesquite, Wy-
lie, Fort Worth, Richardson and
many other towns in this section
of the State.” Mr. Rush said:
‘The expense of motor truck di *

quicker and more convenient.

in one community the horse-
drawn wagon is best. We have
