South County
Roads Placed
In Good Repair
Farmers Given Outlets to Mar-
ket by Improvement of Routes
Damaged by Rain
(Spatial to the Democrat-News)
LEXINUfON Oct 2— Roads in
the south port of the county see looking
much bettor this week after county
t'ooimissiondrs have been In Lexington
and over tho roads of this section of
t ho county i
The road on th section line in
miles north of Lexington was put in
line shape early last week when two
crews with tractor sand graders went
over the six miles from the Van Vied
highway which leads into Lexington
eastward to Science 1 till'
That road was in bad repair und hud
lx-en almost imps enable since the rains
wJch foil here two weeks ago Willow
View profits greatly by the repairing of
this road
Hie gin at Willow View has heen in
operation fur two weeks but the road
was in sue hbiul condition that it was
nearly linpoMHjiilti for the farmers to
hurl cotton with automobiles and get
to the gin with a load Since tho roads
are repaired it makes driving easier
North- south Roads Worked
North and south roads have been
worked slneo tlie rains and are also in
belter condition than they have been
sinoo tho rains in the early spring
Tliis Improvement shows that the
county commissioners are thinking of
tho farmers is well us tho towns
George Cajpenter comimissioner fro
Lexington has ls-en supervising part
of the work personally wliiio Jesse
Todd Nornufii has lavh in Lexington
several times riven! ly to check rood
conditions and to note the progiesa
madi by the workmen on tile various
roads
Mr Harsh linger maintenance man
on the highway north into Norman has
kept that road in good shape all the
time He works from morning to
night every day and 'spends time all
tie way between Lexington and Nor-
tnau Ills truck carries dirt und filler
lor all jilts In the shoulders of the
p iled ri ain from tho east end of the
uii Ki an llivcr bridge to the edge of
Norman Mr i larshlno gcr only uses
belli bi bis imuntennnee urn k and when
li is absolutely neoefwnry The rest of
the Unie lie works Ulorte helping the
nsnl up to standard
Fanners (ini' Alh’nl inn
Hoads o ist arid south out of Lining-
tail are not in as good shape as pos-
sible but win k is being' done on each
of those roads When the road work
is complete 111 this part of the county
tnis fall all roads will have been Work-
ed and put into as fljie siutjio ns possi-
ble according to reports received here
The fact that fanners are being tak-
en into consideration more Hum in the
I'M-t Is a good- mark for the county
rcinmisMloners Koiuls over which the
farmer is forced to drive have linlcto-
fi to been given slight nyi-mimi and
fanners have suffered from tin lack of
trinsportiUon speed due to this fact
Informants say
it la said here that south t'levelitnd
county is indeed fortunate to have
county commissioners who will afford
the section the ponds needed for har-
vesting crops and conveying them to
the imirkpt This section of the county
is admitted by almost all jiersons to be
the best agricultural section of the
state bo for this reason there is a
necessity for tho best roads for the
farmer so that he mac make the best
of his opportunities in harvesting

As a hostess Elizabeth Ann
decided that she was a grand
success She glanced happily
about the tables of moaish
guests in the living room
This wato party she thought
One they’d talk about for many
a day Every thing was going
beautifully
She giggled as one of the
group at the nearest table
trumped her partner’s acc The
hum of conversation rose and
fell
And then the telephone rang!
"Yes he’s here" she an-
swered “but he can’t come to
the ‘phone He’s in the garage
working on the caf Ohf
Long Distance very well
I'll call him"
Her heart sank The sparkle
left her eyes Too well she knew
what to expect when her hus-
band “worked on the car”
“And things had been going
jt well" she thought bitterly
as Ed red-faced ana perspiring
oil and grease from head to foot
paused xa embarrassment at the
door
111
Ed was waiting in the hall
whefa she closed the door miser-
ably behind the last guest He
slipped a consoling arm about
her
“I’m sorry honeyl" he
toothed "It won’t happen
again Tomorrow I’ll order an
extension telephone for that
kitchen”
Telephones where yon need
them save time patience house-
wifdy strength— even prevent
minor social disasters
Few know that one or two
additional instruments cost
considerably less than the single
telephone they now have I
Bjr a wisely-placed "extern
And things bad been going so well"

i
j tOQ or two and perhaps a i r-
arrangement of the equipment
yon already have an expert
telephone man can often double
the convenience of your tele-
phone service
