In regard to county matters, the
legislature will be asked to allow
the people of the county tne oppor

from three to five hundred thou
sand dollars for bonds for good

is picking up strength rapidly and
it is fairly safe to say that if an
opportunity is given the people of
the county to vote on the question,
they will vote to issue a certain
amount of bonds for good, rock
roads. There is nothing that the
connty needs so much as good roads

Time For the Arrival of Southern
Trains at Lexington According

Last Sunday the 7th was the day
the Southern's new schedule went

made in the case of some trains,
while others remain practically the
same as they have been. The Dis
patch gives the time for the arrival
of the trains at Lexington:

. No. 36, which arrived at 11 :16 when
on time, which it hasn't been for a year,
roughly speaking, will now arrive, it
is hoped, at 12:33, p. m.
No. 88, formerly due at 9:68, is due
now at 11:05, p. m.
No. 40 is moved from 12:55 to 3.23,
a. m.
The most interesting change at
all is the new time for trains 35
and 12. The thirsty go to Salis
buryton 35 and hope ten. get back
on 12, but often lateness of 35 made
this impossible." Now, however,
35 goes down over an hour earlier
and 12 is pushed back more than a
quarter of an hour, so the tnp can
be made all in one night now. It
is suggested that this change was
made on purpose to accomodate the
thirsty up the line. '
