Dr. Jones and John K. McEwen treated themselves to automobiles last week. The cars are four passengers Fords. Some of the younger set in our community have been joy riding some since the machines come in. Rockford can not boast of four automobiles. Every automobile owner becomes a good roads enthusiast, and a road suitable for an automobile, is much more suitable for wagons and buggies. We imagine that if we could get roads suitable for automobiles, the horses and mules in our county would laugh and do their burdensome work with a great deal more joy, pleasure, and efficiency."
