MowD, May 1--we are glad to know
that the people of Maurv County are
beginning to take such an interest in
puolic roads.
No one can deny the fact that
churches, schools and good roads are
the life of any country, and the citizens
of the 10th District have made up their
minds not to fall behind the dead line"
on the road question. For years the
bed of Knob creek has been part of
the road bed, and our road was almost
impossible all through the winter.
Whenever we started out to travel, if
we were not in the creek, we were in
something worse-a mud hole; but now
the enterprising citizens come to the
front and say there must be change,
and we are ready to say, "Amen

know a single member of the church
bat what would like for the church to
be nearer the Knob creek road.
Some have suggested that the road he
built on the east side of the creek, but
the ground is not as suitable as on the
west side. 1t will make the distance
farther, the grade heavier, and cuts
Knob Creek Church entirely off from
the road, ard of course the community

be but little pulling for it on the west
side after all these things are taken in
to consideration. There will soon be

sioners to lay off this road, and when
we get it done (Which we hope will be
s bOn) come out in your rubber-tiTed
buggy and se9 how easy it rolls on a
first.class road, and see the garden spot
of Maury COunty-so we think.
We may not be satisfied witha good
road after we get it, but may run a
dummy line or branch railroad out
here to carry our phosphate off. We've
got 1T, by the carloads.
We were sorry indeed to hear Of the
death of Mrs. GuptOn. She lived in our
neighborhood for two or three years.
She was truly a good woman. The

MT. NEBO AND SAwDUST VALLEY

MT. NEBo, May 2.-On last Saturday,
the 10Th, AT her old home at this place,
Mrs. Rosa Mcbride celebrated the 10Th
anniversary of her birthday by having
her children, grandchildren and "A few
old friends together. 1t was "a lovely
day and was spent in good. old-time,
friendly way, and at noon bounteous
dinner was partaken of. "Aunt Rosa"
is the mother of twelve children, seven
of whom are still living, namely: Rev.
II. S. Mcbride and Fount Mcbride, Of
Nashville; M. A. Mcbride, of Cross
Bridges; Mrs. DIR. Rupe, Of Columbia I;
Mrs. w. n. Kinzer, J. w. w. Mcbride
and Mrs. II. w. Dame, of Sawdust Val
ley. Mrs Docia May berry, aged 80, and
Mrs. Hester Estes attended the reunion.
These are the three oldest 4ople of our
community. Aunt ROsa's life compan.
ion, Mr.. William Mcbride, passed from
earth mum Der of years ago. She has
never married again, and is still "hold.
ing out faithful unto the end"-iust as
she began in early life-a purely conse-
Grated christian. " rhe Lord is her Shep-
herd" even down to old age.
Aunt DOcia Mayberry will be SO years
of age on next Saturday, May q. She is
the oldest person in our community,
her husband, Uncle Henry May berry,
having left her on this side the shore
y
ing children and number OF grand
children, and there are none but who
love "grandma." Her children are as
follows: Messrs. {. p, H. N, and w.
q. May berry, of Sawdust Valley: R)bt
May berry, of SummertOwn, and George
w. Nav berry, of Lewis county Mrs.
Tennie Llsk, of Broadview; Mrs. Mo. lie
Hill, Of Frierson; Mrs Lizzie Houser, OF
Water Valley; Mrs. John Johnson, OF
EoStar,c Ihanal and MrS Martha .npC
of Bon Aqua Springs.
Aunt DuciA may truly be said to have
lived u wen roundabout Christian life
A few years at best, and her ship will
have anchored on the other shore, but
we feel the world has been made better
by such good old christian mothers as
she having lived in it. She is still hale
and hearty for one of her age, although
she seldom goes from the old home.
Rev. H. S. Mcbride occupied the pull
pit at Nebo on Yesterday and delivered
an excellent sermon, especially to the
old people. He will return to Nashville
to-day.

CONCERNING THE SOLDIERS HOME.

The recent visit to this city of some
of the G. a. II. and w. II. G. delegates
seems to have renewed the agitation
over the management of the Soldiers
Home. The STAR has always refrained
as much as possible from mixing up in
any such discussion, believing that
often more harm than good is the re-
suit. 1t is always proper to investi
gate any public institution, or any
public otiicer-always proper to have
some authorities to examine into the
conduct and management of public
places. No one can object to such
things, and in fact investigation and
examination are usually invited. The
STAR isn't in position to speak know
ingly regarding whatever criticism may
have been made againgt the Home
management. An "outsider' may gain
any information he desires. He may
learn from members of the Home that
all the criticisms that have ever been
offered are none too severe. or he may
AAo llOSS WIZ Will uCClhIC CuhU IklcIo
isn't "a word of truth in them. Hence
no n not authorized to make Il strict
and thorough examination can form
q correct idea of the true situation
and do justice to all Interested. One
thing, however. the STAR feels like re-
senting, and that is the bringing in the
managem ents of the past republican,
in order to defend the present man.
agement. Let each stand upon its own
record. The republican management
has had its day i'll court aud came out
in good shape. That management is
not now on trial. Let the present take
care of itself, and leave politics out of
it. There is no necessity for making
the pre- sent discussion as to the Home
a political issue at all. 1t will only re-
suit in serious harm to the Home. The
friends of the present management
should not forget this. If the G. A. r.
or w. r. G. have criticised the man
agement in a partisan spirit they have
made a great mistake, and we are not
prepared to believe they have. Those
orders are not generally inclined to
mix in politics. All of the present
agitation seems to be over what is an
ticipated from the g. A. r. and w. r.
G. But by all means keep politics out
Of the investigation. The republicans,
however, will not be backward, we be.
