BOARD OF HEALTH.
CITY AUTHORITIES TO DISCUSS
THE SMALLPOX SITUATION.

The city board OF health is called
together this afternoon in the office OF
President JEFF Robertson to discuss
the smallpox situation in tho county,
especially that in tine Tyler neighbor-
hood near the city.
Tyler is located on the edge of the
city just outside the limit line on the
Benton road, and nearly all the male
residents, over 80 in all, work in the
mills in Mechanics burg and are there
fore continually coming into the city.
The smallpox situation in tho county
should really be looked after by the
county board but on account OF the
near relation it has to the city in this
particular instance the city board is
meeting to see il cooperation Of the
two boards cannot be effected in con-
trolling the situation.

A COMMA FOR REVENGE.
How School Inspector Got Even With
Pompous German Mayor

Lately in a small town in Germany
the school Inspector arrived on his
tour Of inspection too soon after his
last visit TO please the mayor. who
was asked 10 accompany him
should like to know why this ass
has come again so soon?" muttered
the mayor TO himself. as he put on
his hat The inspector overheard the
remark. but pretended TO ignore II.
and was soon busy examining the pu-
pills In punctuation. The mayor told
him: I'VE don't trouble about commas
and such like here"
The inspector told one Of the pupils
TO write on the blackboard. The
mayor OF Ritzelbuttel says the inspec-
tor Is an ass"
Now" he added. put a comma
after Ritzeibuttel and another after
Inspector"
The pupil did so. and IL is believed
that the mayor has altered his opinion
as to the value Of commas.

A COUNTY BOND ISSUE.

n the county authorities desire to
make lasting name for themselves,
they should take steps to improve all
the county roads by graveling them.
As long as there is only dirt road,
the winter months are going to re-
quire the expenditure of thousands of
dollars every year for repairs. In a
few months there is little evidence left
Of what these thousands were spent
for, and there is thus constant drain
ON the county treasury, with no per-
manent benefits.
A bend issue of 800, 900 would en-
able the county to gravel most Of the
county roads. The interest would be
only about 50, 600 a veal, and it would
not be long until the cost of main
tanning the roads would be reduced
until with interest on the bonds it
would be comparatively little. No
longer would it be necessary to waste
hundreds and hundreds of dollars
working dirt roads every year. GRAY
el would make them comparatively
substantial, considering the amount
of travel on the county roads The
present generation would establish
system of country roads that would
ever be the pride Of the county and in
addition to affording good roads.
would save more than enough money
IN the course of years to pay off the
bonds, while at the present rate and
under the present methods 500, 900
will be wasted on the roads in very
few years and there will at the end OF
that time be nothing to show for it.
The county, as stated several days
ago, has about decided to gravel thirty
miles of the roads this year. Why
not issue bonds and gravel them all, OF
half Of them? II thirty miles OF
rrsveled roads will be benefit to thu
county aud a source OF economy 100 o.
200 miles would be greater in rropor
tion County Judge Lightfoot and fl.
cal court should take up the matter q
once. The question is not what few
selfish, narrow min fed, unproP ressiv'
property owners may think about it,
but whether or not it would be TO
the greatest good to the greatest mum

MARRIED IN ARKANSAS
YOUNG MAN WELL KNOWN IN
PADUCAH BRINGS BACK
A BRIDE.

Mr.. Arthur e. Smith,. Of Little Cy-
press, who has made Paducah his
headquarters for some time, passed
through the city this morning en- route
home to visit his parents and introduce
to them his wife. to whom he was
married on the Fourth inst. at Cros-
sett, Ark, the residence OF the young
lady.
Mr.. Smith is employed in a sawmill
company there and often comes here
to secure men to work in the mills.
He came directly here after marrying
and will visit his parents for several
weeks before returning. Mr.. Smith
aud wife will reside at Crossett.

carry When put to vote Of the peo-
pie. even then, so at present it seems
that the proposition ratified by the
board Of aldermen last night is one
that will meet the approval of the pro-
gressive people of Paducah.
A great many Of the streets. espeoi-
ally in the central part of the city, are
greatly in need of these lasting Inn
provements. This is especially true
Of South Third street, the principal if
not only outlet TO the southern part of
the city, and the one most used. This
ought to be improved at least as far as
CLARK street, instead .of to Court. II
possible it ought to be improved all
the way up.
The work agreed on, however, will
save the city all that is now spent for
repairs, and will give US modern, sub
stantisl streets. Before the work be-
gins all pipes desired or contemplated
laid should be ordered Ibid before
hand or not at all within five years, as
when the Broadway brick street was
built. This will guard against the
tearing mp of the streets after they
are completed. The other streets can
be greatly improved if the roller is
used on them 1t does no good to
dump gravel on the streets and not
pack or roll it, as is always done in
Paducsh. Roll it and hundreds of dol
larsl will be saved.

The first result of the administra-
