hd1IrOaQ.
4 meeting Of the directors
was held in Columbia last We'd
nesday and Thursday. All of
the board were present except
the members from Coffee and
Humphreys. The resignation
of VIM. Smith, director OfMoore
county, was presented, in cOnse-
quence of the litigation now
pending between Lincoln and
Moore counties, and accepted.
Col. j. III. Lewis, of Marshall,
was elected to fill the vacancy.
The board is now constituted as
follows-Col.L.D. Myers, Pres't,
and Ed. Williams, of Maury !;
DIR. Mcclure and j. II. Lewis,
of Marshall; DIR. NJ. d. Hamp-
ton, of Lincoln; A. o. Nixon
and - Chouse, of Hickman,
l.. S. Goodrich, of Humphreys;
NJ. r. Campbell, of Coffee.
1t was resolved not to accept
any of the bids made for the con-
struction of the road, although
the engineer reported some of
them low enough, until the
whole amount necessary to con-
struct the road is subscribed
1t is estimated that $4,000 will
be necessary to build the road
from Columbia this way to the
Maury line. To make up this
amount a subscription of $15,-
900 is yet required, which the
President and other prominent
citizents of Maury county think
will be easily secured. Com
ing on, we find Marshall ready
with the full amount assessed
to it. For the line from Peters
burg to Fayetteville, about $780,
600 will be required, and of this
amount $4,000 is lacking, and
has to- be made up before the To-
eating survey is made. If Lin
coin county is to have the road,
the requisite amount must be
subscribed, and speedily; the
road will not come without it.
AS soon as the deficit is covered,
the final survey will be made,
and the work of construction
at once begin; ard it is advisa-
bic that the work should be
pushed along the whole line at
the same time. From 70 to 80
per cent. of all the subscriptions
made here will be expended in
Lincoln county, so that while
opening a very desirable outlet
to market, and largely increas-
ing the property value OF the
county, nearly all of the money
necessary to build the improve
ment will be retained amongst
us, imparting life and prosperi-
ty to every branch of business.
Every road when in the course
of construction gives employ
ment to an army of laborers,
who, as a rule, spend their mon
ey where they earn it. This
holds good, even when the con-
tractors are from abroad; but
when our people become the
successful contestants for home
contracts, the profits secured by
them, as well as the wages of
the laborers, are kept here to
make shines easy" Every con-
sidcration of public or private
nature urges the speedy build
ing of the road, and as soon as its
importance is fully appreciated,
we believe the amount will be
made up.
The annual meeting Of the
directors and stockholders of
the road will be held in Column
bia on Monday, July 9TH.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty ssdi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forIna-
ton of dandruff, which is often SO un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
