Fains Showed ValureOf Graveled Roads.
Waco Times-Herald:
The recent rain demonstrated
the worth of the gravel roads
again, and the people living onthe
Dallas road had an especially fine
chance to get an idea of the value
of road improvement, having re-
cently lifted themselves out of
the mud and placed themselves
on a fine gravel foundation.
This spell has been .specially
hard on the roads, too, owing to
the softening character of the
rains. One gentleman said yes-
terday that the new Dallas road
is one of the best roads in Texas,
and that he thought the people
on that throughfare deserved to
be congratulated and commend-
ed. The intention is understood
to be to extend the road on to
Elm Mott and other points.
The Day's Lake company has
magnanimously agreed to donate
the gravel necessary to improve
this road and carry it futher on
out, a rich discovery of gravel
having been made there. Tnis
gravel is thought to be specially
fine for road building, and there
will be no trouble about getting
it, It is one of the best roads in
the county now, and the hope is
to have it extended into the
country further at an early date.

AND HER NAME WAS MAUD!
So, of course she had a kick coming1. And when old Boggs
tried to shoo the (lies off her left hind log. she let loose like a
mountain howitzer and kicked Boggsy clear through the side
of the barn.

feel like kicking yourself, when you see how things on the
place are going to the dogs?
Now see here! We're making special low prices on all
