One of Holidays young men is
all smiles now. &he has returned
home again.
Mr.. ]. %. Tippett, of the thir-
teenth civil district, recently moved
his family to Arkansas, where he
expects to reside in the future. A
certain young man Of that vicinity
was left with sad eyes and an ach-
ing heart.
Richey and Rudolph, the little
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. E. i. Odle, of
near this place, are reported very
low with pneumonia. Wejoin the
many friends of the family in SYM
pathy, and hope that their children
will soon recover their accustomed
good health.
Mr. J. S. Thomas, Of Jeanette,
has moved his family to the G. w.
Briggance place, near McIllwain.
He is member Of the pew firm of
Thomas, McIllwaim, & Co., which
recently opened for business here
at the E. S. Cain old stand. The
good people of this vicinity extend
to Mr.. Thomas hearty welcome to
our midst.
On account of the coEtilued bad
weather farmers in this ,neighbor-
hood have been prevented from SOW
ing oats, but if favorable weather
continues for the next ten days a
good portion of the stubble land
will be turned under. The acreage
planted to peanuts in this neigh
berhood will be far below the aver
age this year, while a heavy corn
crop and an average crop of tobac-
co will be planted. This is the re-
suit of the low price Of peanuts 10Y
the past two years.

The recent article from this place
in regard to the public road ques-
ton, published in the February 3rd
issue Of The CHRONICLE, is having
its effect already in this part Of the
county, where good roads are GER
tainly badly needed, and to some
extent preparations are being made
to better their condition when the
weather will permit. This is en-
couraging, so far as it goes, but it
will not be satisfactory in itsresults.
What we need in this part of the
country is a system Of road build
ing instead Of the present unsatis
factory method of expanding our
time, money and energy in the eff
fort to repair what we choose to call
roads, when in fact we have no roads
in this country, but simply make
shifts-the outcome of false spirit
Of economy that has proven to be a
constant sourse of annoyance and
expense. A road system is the
means of facilitating intercourse.
Intercommunication is the back
bone of business. Good public
roads are the primary necessities
of civilized life and national pros.
perity. The effect of good pnblic
roads upon land values is to in.
crease the value of such lands. Elk.
perience has shown that the value
of ground is in direct ratio to tht
good condition of the roads which
traverse them. Where poor roads
prevail everything else is apt to b.

the merchant. If two horses hau

two, and 6 miles instead of 3 mile
be made per hour, the aggregat,
saving would double the net ipcom
Of the average farmer. This desid
eratum can only be accomplishe,
by the means of good public roads
Therefore, a county without road
will remain undeveloped, its hid

land values will continue to shrin

FALLEN FROM GRACE.

Judge IL. IL. ESTES, or the circuit
court Of Shelby County, handed
down his decision Saturday disbar-
ring Speaker RALPH DAVIS of the
house Of the general assembly from
practicing as an attorney in the
courts Of Tennessee.
About four weeks ago statement
was printed in the Memphis papers
which resulted in the action of the
court. The case had been pending
for two weeks, the court having TAX
en- it under advisement after a full
investigation and argument by the
counsel.
The decision was not unexpected,
but it has created a profound SEN
sation all over the State, owing to
the nature Of the charges and the
high official position of the defend
ant. The charges against Speaker
DAVIS are about as follows: NATH-
AN SIMON was a bondsman in the
sum Of $4,000 FOR JACOB LAoHMAN,
charged with arson. LAoHMAN fled,
and Simon secured DAVIS services
to get the bond reduced. 1t was
alleged that DAVIS collected from
SIMON $2,250 and only paid 1000
into the court, but told SIMON he
had paid the full amount. When
SIMON learned this fact he made 6
motion to disbar DAVIS, and it ha:
been sustained.
The opinion of Judge ESTES is al
elaborate one, and covering every
point in the charges and testimony
He finds that DAVIS received from
the relator, NATHAN SIMON, as hi
attorney, $2,250 to be paid into tn,
criminal court on a bond forfeiture
that DAVIS paid into the crimina
court only ST, 900, pocketing the re
naming $1,250; that when thi
fraudulent action was opposed b.
SIMON, he threatened SIMON witt
attachment from the criminal cour
for the whole amount Of the bond
and that within forty-eight hour
the attachment was issued and ex
ecuted on SIMON. The court there
fore finds that DAVIS not only swim
died his client, but turned upon hir
to do him an injury for revenge.
Pending the trial DAVIS had A
b. PICKETT, manager, and 0. K
UNDERWOOD, reporter of the Scimi
tar, and NATHAN SIMON arrested 70
criminal libel, and instituted sui
for $4,000 each against the Scimi
tar and Commercial. However,
is thought that nothing will com
of this prosecution or the suits fo
damages, in view of the disbarmen
1t is probable that DAVIS will b
deposed as speaker of the house an
expelled from the general assembl,
