Mir. keIcey and Miss shannon.

Mir. Kelcey and Miss shannon will give up Sherlock Holmes the latter part of this season. They are considering two plays. One of them Is by Flamarion Crawford The scenes are laid in Italy. England and America. The other one is by Max Pemberton, the celebrated Eng fish writer. It is on an entirely new subject, and is in line with the parts in which MT. Kelcey and Miss Shannon have made their greatest hits. It Is pos sible that the Crawford play will be pro- duced first and if it is not a success an immediate production will be made of Pemberton's play. MT. Kelcey thinks that either one is an assured success.

where needed and where the ma

being replaced by new machines
of the most improved type. When
completed the ginnery will be
practically new throughout. Six
new gins will replace tie old ones.
In future there can be no COM

Scarcely had the travelling pub.

The Rough Roads.

During winter and early spring
the cry was Ja0 roads, now it is
the rough roads. Although the roads
are firm, and heavy loads can be
drawn over them, they are misera-
blv rough. The deep ruts and
holes that were made by heavy
wagons when the ground was soft
are still there. If 8 man drives
for 25 miles over some of Edge
fields roads and does not feel tee
effects of the joltings and jostllngs
for a week afterwards he must be
made of clay of an extraordinary
kind, The point we wish to make
is that while the roads are very
rough they are passable now but
should these ruts and holes remain
there till fall, the season in which
good roads are most needed, they
will become practically impassable
Could these places be filled now il
| would not requ re much time OF
labor. 1t is up to the supervisor
to grapple with this road problem
| If possible the cow vict forces
should be increased so as 10 cover
as many miles of roads in summer
las possible. That "a stitch II
time saves pipo" is especially tru'
of road working. Mr.: Supervisor
whoever you are, when you ge
Iyour commission you must als'

promises that are fresh from you

pie publicity to the fact that the

A notice in your local or county

be no other meeting there at the
time to conflict with this, and that
no political discussions or other
attractions will be billed for the
same date III connection with the
institute.
| wish also to have it thoroughly
