A U rg e crowd attended the Good Roads meeting at Sublimity last T h u rs day night. Stayton was well repre sented. Former County Judge, John H. Scott, Seymour Jones and E. H ofer were the speakers o f the eveninsr. Although the farm ers o f the Sublim ity district as a rule are not in favor o f the bond issue, they listened carefully to what the speakers had to sav and will no doubt vote their convictions on the subject. The farm ers and business men o f Sublimity are cordially invited to at tend the Good Roads meeting to be held in Slayton Friday night. May 8. In deciding your choice at the prim aries soon to be held, the republicans will do well to keep in mind t£e fact that in the ow er house o f the legis lature it is an absolute necessity that some good legal advice must be had as nearly all bills originate in that branch. It is also well to keep in mind that Thomas Brown o f the firm o f Carson & Brown o f Salem is a man with such ex perience. Mr. Brown although asking fdr the office for the first time, is well known in both city and county.
