— The Butler Weekly Times. VOL. XXIX. BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1907. NO. 12 NICHOLS SHOES ARE BETTER. ~ Would Work the Convicts. A spectal meeting of the Moberly Commercial club was called to con- sider the movement, fathered by the Missour! Good Roads Soclety, to in- duce the next legislature to pass a law requiring the 2,000 or more convicts in the penitentiary, at Jcff- erson City, to be worked upon the public roads of the State. George E. Vogle, prestdent of the Missourt Good Roads Society, and D. H. Lincoln, secretary, were in the city this morning, in the interest of this movement. They called on President Sparks, at his office, laid the proposition before him, and the scheme looked so good that he pro- ceeded to calla quorum, by telephone and the proposition was unanimous- ly indorsed. 3 The plan of this society is to have the State convicts worked upon the roads. To build a stone road, clear through the State, from east to west, and north to south, after which districts are to be taken up, and the work continued until all the public roads of Missouri are made permanent and lasting.—Moberly Democrat. $.
