Effect of Good and Bad Roads.
In Issuing a cal) for a state good
roads meeting that was held at Louis
ville on Sept. 17 Governor Augustus E.
Willson of Kentucky said:
“There is nothing which hurts the
people more or costa tbe people more
or keeps them back more than bad
roads. They make it bard to leave
borne, bard to get back, hard to haul,
hard to visit, hard to get to heaven
sometimes. There is uothlng that a
man can think of that will do more to
help tbe people thau good roads, which
make it easy to travel, easy to bring
goods home, easy to haul your produce
and manufactures to market, easy to
go to school and church and easy to
avoid many bitter thoughts that bed
roads cause."
