farmers and others along the line OF
the proposed improvements have
agreed to put in a large amount of
extra hauling of rock. 1t is hoped that
they will get the opportunity Of doing
30. The County Court also sppropn
ated 1000 towards surveying and
building q new road from Bristol to
the johnson County line, on the top
OF Holston mountain, to begin, how
ever. at the county line. The contract
for the survey has been awarded to one
Mr. Gray, of Bristol. The object 10
building this road Is TO bring to Bristol
the extensive wagon trade that now
goes to Abingdon and other points
east and west of Abingdon. At a
former term of the County Court nm
order was made requiring alt the com.
mon road fund to be used In ditching,
draining and matchmaking AS provid.
ed by Act Of the Legislature of 1891,
chapter 1, section As. We hope these
steps are the beginning of better times
In Sullivan County in the line of good
roads. Without better roads we can
not hope to prosper much in other d.
rections. Two men lately came here.
one from Kentucky, and the other
through that State, who testify alike
to the severity of the dry weather.

BLOUNTyILLE.

Sullivan County Is to have some
extra work done on the main thorough.
fare from Bristol to Blountville, and
on west as far as the money will hold
out. One thousand dollars was ap-
propriated for this purpose, and the
dirt work is to be done right away by
some company using road MACHINERY.
That company Is still behind the cur.
tain, but is represented by j. A. Faw.
editor OF the Bristol Times. The con.
tract provides that the road bed shall
be made sixteen feet wide, ditched on
each side with q crown one foot hiph
IN the center of the road, for $500.
And this leaves $500, II so used. with
which to make culYerts, blast and haul
rock and macadamize, This, 1 SUP.
pose, will be done by a different O
tractor. or course $500 will not do
this on nine miles Of road. A small
portion, however, has heretofore been
partially macadamized by convict la.
Dor. The consensus Of opinion here ia
that IL this dirt work only is done, this
late In the season, the road will be i'm.
passable after the first rains. II done
some months ago the road would now
have been packed down by the vast
amount Of hauling that has been done.
The best thing now In sight is to mac.
adamize the lowest aud worst places,
as far as the money will 20, and thus
make some good road, and this will
make our County Court willing to
make future appropriations; other wise,

The health of this community is yery
good at present, with the exception of a
few cases of itch and whooping cough,
which are prevailing in some of the
schools. A nine month old child OF Solo
mon Burgess died last week and was
buried In Liberty Cemetery. Miss An

Of Washington College, was .mingling
with friends and relatives ON the south

his wife, who is visiting her grandfather,
Newt Broyles. The sorghum boilings
seems to be on the wane, as the season Is
about,sver aud ONE of our young lads
are wondering what to. do with them
selves to pass away the inonotonous
hours. We would advise them to devote
about eight hours to sleep and the re-
mainder to studying some good books,
or other employment. The schools in
this district are all moving along in
good order, and we fail to hear a word
OF condemnation against any of the
teachers, therefore we suppose they are
giving satisfaction. The contractors of
the new church at Liberty, near here,
have secured the service OF Mr., Earnest
and his, planer to finish preparing the
lumber, and we predict that the build
ing will soon be completed, although it
has been nearly half as long sineeit was
commenced as Soloman was building his
temple. We wish that Jack Rabbit, of
Texas, would tell us what has been the
result of the Bachelor organization
which he spoke Of In a recent letter, as
we contemplate visiting his State some
timem the future and would like 10
know the outcome of such q club. Mr..
Platoon, of South Carolina, who has
put up a.steam distillery in this district,
has 1t completed and Is now waiting for
the copious showers to come and raise
the water, when he will begin to grind
out the deadly poison which this section
sometimes seems to be afiictee with.
We think-the laws of the u. S. are very
lenient or there is something wrong

A Worthy Officer.

On the LIST Monday in January last
j. M. Grisham, Esq, was unanimously
elected Chairman of the County Court
OF Washington County. We then pre-.
dicted that the court had made no mis-.
take. Our prediction has been verified
by the very close attention ESQ.
Grisham has given to business. He has
devoted almost his entire time to
ty matters, z%ealously guarding the in.
terests of every taxpayer in the coun-
ty. The quarterly court for October
lasted two days. On the next evening
you could get your warrant for what
the county was indebted to you and
get the cash for it. This record as to
time is unprecedented in the history of
the county, and while Esq. Grisham
has given entire satisfaction as Chair.

EVERYTHING is going against the
silverites. They have been insisting
that the world could not get along
without large additions of the white
metal to the currency of the world,
and now here come the gold mines of
the world this year with their largest
production in history, while on top of
that comes the news of the discovery
OF the richest mines in existence in our
own Alaska. Add to this the fact that
the whole world is likely to send us
gold in exchange for our splendid crops
this year, especially because of the
shortage of the cropsin other countries,
and it is apparent that there is to be
no scarcity Of gold and no lack of
prosperity in the United States during
the coming year.

CHUCKY VALLEY.

Work Is begun on the last part of
our ridge at last. Mr.. Brady, of Chat
tarooga, Ia foreman of construction ;
b3 is now cutting all his thinkers and
getting ready SO when the iron comes
he can put 1t up in haste. We think 1t
would be advisable for the committee
to have oil work on the approaches
complete by the time the bridge is COM
plete. There Ia considerable work to
be done on the north bank and through
the field leading to main road, which
will take some time to put it In shape
for travel. The p~ostofice at this place
has. changed hands, Mrs. Cannon
having resigned and Chas. Decker
being appointed postmaster. The office
has been moved up to Mr.. Decker's

OF a good school for her daughter.

seems to be the order of the day, but
we hear Of no molasses boilings any

THE calamity yelpers find their pro-

with by the fact that crops are light

and that the farmers are therefore
more prosperous in 1897 than for many
years.
