The following extract is from letter
recently received by Rev. II. \. Schauf-
fier from his daughter, who is a mis-
sionary in Persia:
"Mr. Allen, the superintendent of
the industrial department, has gone to
America to learn something more of
the iron trade. as an iron department
is to be added to the shop. lie started
off on his bicycle, and expected to ride
to Batoum, in the Black sea, stop at
SAMSON, and run up to Ma, ,sovan on
his wheel to see the training school
there and take the steamer to Mar
seilles, and run across France, making
the journey as cheap as possible.
"In August he took a tour to tie
southern part Of our field on mis- wheel.
He would leave the horsemen who ac-
companjed him away behind, and rode
most of the way alone. Everywhere
he was an object Of the greatest WOLF
der and excitement. Solre said that il

He would get to 4 village. and the
whole place would gather to see him.
He would have to give An exhibition.
and finally end up in some open place,
where the native helper who accom-
panied him would i've ready to hold a
service. The congregation was there,
with no ringing of bells, except the
bicycle bell.
'Mr. Allen says that in this way viii
lagos were opened up where never be-

into trouble. and ut one place such a
mob surr0un led him that he had to
get out of that village at the very ear

RATHER COSTLY.

During tle past year there was
$500 expended ION the public
reads of Bouut county.
Can anyone tell us of a place
Where the results of this enormous
expenditure shows up to advan-
tage?
The above amount may sound
father large, bnt it is not. Our road
tax is $4,000 Then we take the
work OF 5000 road hands at Scots.
per day, which is a low estimate,
apd we have $500 in labor. A
grand total Of $1,000.
4 costly and we might add an
almost useless way of road work
ite. OF course here and there,
where the roads had become very
bad il has been made better for the
fine being, but scarcely any perm
anent Improvement has been made
with that enormous expenditure OF
time and money.
. In Roane county the court has just
LEI contract for nine miles of piked
road for 5000. If our $1,000 could
have been used in the same way our
county could to-day have had near
thirty-six miles of good permanent
road, which would have been here
in the years to come, a blessing to
future generations.
The only evidence that we have
that this county has expended $47,
800, in labor and money, on her
roads during the past five years is
the figures in the county record
books.
The sam, wnrk has done every
year in t past and will have to
be done ve7y year in the future
unless the county does something
towards better and more perma-
nent roads. Shall we go on waste
ing our money aud energy?

The "next race for Congress"
seems to be regular nightmare to
the Roane County Republican
Not an issue but what it spreads
itself all over the question. One
would think we were in the midst
of heated campaign with the Re-
publican against the field. One OF
the bits of choice and elegant
language in the last issue was,
the Judges fool mouth and the
bombast Of of his fool friends" We
suggest that we havn't heard of
any other paper than the Republi-
can getting off any such thing as
"bombAst," or even talking about
the matter. We do not know
whether Editor McCulley counts
him SELF among the "fool friends"
or not. Cool down brother and let
the people rest. Nobody likes a
fight and quarrel all the time.

Senator Hill doubtless tells II Q
truth in the following:-"The
trouble is there are too many dim
ners and too much social dissipa
ton in official circles at the Capt.
tai. No man can 60 TO the fash
ionable dinners night after night
and sit UP until near morning, at
tending to social functions, and be
in any condition 10 grapple with
the knotty problems of finance and
affairs that are at this time forced
upon the consideration of our pub
lie men"

The County Supt. of Public In
struction reports that the schools
of the county are very poorly at
tended about 'pe: picking" time.
We suggest that the directors have
their schools held at time when it
will be convenient for the children
to attend. 1t is an injustice to the
children to have them miss even a
day as their class mates are one
days lessons ahead and it is an in
justice to the hard worked teacher,
who cannot find time to sc ON with
the regular work and at the same
time 60 back over what has. been
missed by the absent ones.

Hale gave it to her. She also admitted
living with the man, they oc- c-upyfIS, she
said, a room together with his little boy.
They had a quarrel day or two before
the day in question, because, as she claim

with a colored woman, and she took a
drive with a young man. After their quar-
rel Hale, she said. ordered her out of the
house, and when she went she took the
watch, because she claimed, 1t was hers.

A Marylnnd Farmers Complaint.

Now, then, " hat right has the health Of

The milk shippers do not deny the righ.

to send men out here and direct what shal II
be done about their stables. or send rules

yard is not the most unhealthy thing In
the world. Why doesn't the health officer

sees afar off the beginning of few suits
against the District, and well may he fear
it. While there is such a row raised about

Bishop Satterlees answer was laid before
the vestry last evening, and when read it
was found that it indicated no preference

favorable account of Mr.. Williams and his
work. After some discussion it was de-
cided to extend call to MIR. Williams for
two years, and for this purpose commit
tee, consisting of Messrs. Theo, o. Ebaugh
chairman, and VIM A. Meloy and James
f. Bell. was appointed to draw it up and
forward it. The vote by which MIR. Will
liams was called was not exactly unani-
nous, as several voted for other minister's

of the vestry expressed satisfaction at the
result, and it is thought the call voices the

born thirty-nine years ago in New Orleans,

and compact build. He was educated in

made fortune. 1t is understood that the

that he has erected it into a fiourishng

expressed by the congregation when IL be-

Rev. Alexander NJ. Rich. rendered his resig-

consequently they have not acted on Il as
