The new pike will probably
leave the old road beyond the vine
yard and seek less precipitous de
scent through Mr.. McKimmin's
land. 1t will have to be done to
bring it within the requirement of
law. Other places will also have to
be avoided

There is to be a Sunday school |
picnic at Shorts School House on
Chicken creek next Saturday. The
neighborhood has made extensive |
arrangements for the children to
enjoy themselves. OF course it is
intended alone for them and not for
the general public. We were hon
ored with an invitation which we
would gladly accept but for the
turnpike meeting at Midtown.
1t would be a good idea to have
Il barbecue or n picnic at the places
where turnpike meetings are held.
We would suggest to the Brad
shaw people that they hold their
meeting at an early day at Pisgah
and have a barbecue or basket din
ner so as to draw n crowd. 1t
should be held at Pisgah because it
is central and convenient to the
people towards Bunker Hill, who
are equally interested.
The Bradshaw Turnpike COmpa-

mother of DR.. r. F. Boyd, last
Thursday night in Pulaski. 1t
startled her from sleep and she
smothered it with bed-clothes, but
not until a machine was almost
consumed and the quilts badly
burned. 1t was about half full of
oil and was burning low. Many
persons burn lamps thus and they
ought to be careful to have them
always full of oil.

3343 in the delegation meeting but
were voted down and gracefully
yielded. They fought all along the
line, but they went there to com
promise and when they found
that 503 was the figure they came
in like democrats. HencefOrth and
forever let high tax and low tax be
from the political voeab-
ulary. Some went up and some
came down until a figure was
reached between them that gave
some to both and took some from
both. Now all are democrats.
The handsome pamphlet announce
ment of Giles College is just out. ;
1t covers all the points Of advan- I
tage offered by this institution and
is a strong presentation of its claim
to be one of the first of its kind in
the south. We are glad to know '
that the College is upon a basis Of
prosperity already assured. Its {
work will be felt upon our hoys and ,
young men, for it is not only {
thorough in its modes of teaching, s
doing excellent work in educating
the mind, but its morale is elevated
and refining and character is
formed and the boy built up into a
usefulness. The announcement en-
enates from the CITIZEN job office.
