announced. his intention to prevent
Young Corbett and Terry McGovern
from fighting in that state. They have
been turned down by nearly every state
where there was a possibility of
meeting between them taking place.
No fighters ever experienced more trou-
BILE in getting together than this pair,

yet have to resort to Savannah to set
tie their differences.

ferences having been settled except the
territorial problem.

Judge Speer So Decided in the Land
Case mt Macon.

Case mt Macon.
Macon, Jan. 23.-The case of Oscar
AM ct al. VS.. the North Macon Land
Company was before Judge Speer to-
day. The company was organized in
1891 and undertook to boom Macon SUI
burban property, with the result that
the scheme fell fiat
a suit of $1,000 was filed against the
president and directors of the COM
pany. The court decided that Col. j.
H. Eetill of Savannah, who was al
legged to be a director, had no connec-
ton with the enterprise other than
having purchased $3.50 worth of stock,
which he lost. The case, so far as he
was concerned, was dismissed. In
1891 the time that the stock was
bought by Col. Estill he was owner of
the Macon Telegraph and thought that
the company might do something for
the town.
Judge Speer appointed j. N. Sally
special master to take testimony in
the case.

Joseph Goddard, the famous Old Bar

at Camden, N. j., as a result of a bull

champion, Goddard has fought all the
heavyweight holders of the title. and

Peter Maher. and knocked out the
clever Gid Mccoy. but in turn was

The road question looms up
these days like the flaming posters
of a big circus or a barber sign in
a small town. Never was there
sucha general complaint of bad
roads. For weeks and months
trade has been curtailed and schools
have suffered for lack of attendance
on account of the impossible condi-
ton of the public highways. One
young gentleman, Mr.. Will CALI
colt, starting to school with his
sister, was compelled to halt with
his buggy at the Phebus place on
the Rives road last Monday. The
wheels had sunk in the mire Sc
deep that the horse was unable to
pull the vehicle out, and an adli-
tional team had to be brought into
requisition. This is only single
instance of the fix our roads are
in, and we don't know more pro-
pitious time for Col. John White
to begin that series of articles on
improving and matchmaking the
county roads. The citizens OF
Franklin county held an enthusias
tic meeting at Winchester last
Monday and decided almost unani-
mously to instruct their represent
atiyes in the Legislature to intro
duce bill to permit Franklin
county to bond itself in the sum OF
800, 900 for the building of pixies.
OF course improvement means
taxation and the people of Obion
think they have enough taxes.
That good roads will more than
provide a means for the return Of
the amount invested in them there
is no question, but it is hard fol-
the citizen to figure this point.
