WHAT THE HAGUE Tribunal Is.

In view of the fact that the Venezue-
Ian affair is to be settled by the Hague
Tribunal, and so much is being said
about it, and comparatively little
known, it will no doubt be OF interest
to know just what this tribunal is.
The Hague tribunal, to which the
Venezuelan controversy will be referr-
ed for settlement is permanents court
of arbitration provided for by the con-
vention signed at the capital of Hol-
| land on July 30, 1899. 1t is the highest
court in the world. Fifteen nations
are represented in it, each having four
members in this court. They are: the
United States, Great Britain, Russia,
Austria-Hungary, Germany Italy, Bel
GUM, France, Denmark. Japan, Hol-
land, Portugal, Roumania, Spain, Swe-
den and Norway. Thus there are sixty
members of this court. The American
members are Melville w. Fuller, chief
justice of the United States; John w.
Griggs, ex-attorney general of the
United States; George Gray, United
States circuiC Judge. Ex-President

IiERNATIyE ROAD SYSTEM.


fAnant to the Recommendation of
4and jury Of the March term Of
Superior Court, 1902, Judge John
q ". Ordinary, on the first of Janu-
at in, operation the alternative
= II s'a aw. Tbs system imposes upon
y Hale persons from 10 to 80 years the
81 working the roads five days or
"a $3.50 eommutation tax each year.
Each road district will, according to
size have from one to three superin-
tendents, who will have charge of the
road work and workers, collect the
Communication tax and disburse same to
the best advantage under the direction
of the Ordinary. There will be two
road workings during the year, spring
and fall, of two and a half days or 81 rs
Communication tax respectively each
season.
Judge Awtrey. the Ordinary, has or
dered two machines for working the
roads in the county, and they will be
here on February 18th next, TO be ope-
rated on trial and if they prove salts
sactory, they will be purchased and
permanently used.
Under this system of road working it
is confidently hoped that the public
roads will be greatly improved. 1t can
not be done in year, however, but it
will require several years to do the
work.

How Old Is Mary Ann?

mats the question we've heard everywhere the past two or three weeks. We'll, we don't know how old she is and if we did we would be rather timid in publishing it, there is one age we are sure of and that is she IS over seven. Say, as we mention seven 1t reminds us of a seven-piece set we are giving with one pound of our warranted good Baking Powder at 45 cents per pound. The regular retail price of this set is 50 cents but to find cut how many people read our ad we are going to make this of fer for one week only. There are lots of people who never heard of Mary Ann but they'll hear more about her later on. for we have secured the picture of her youngest child and also of her Husband, the latter's picture was talk er at moment when he least expect cd. They will both appear on our z1904 calendars which we will present to OUT patrons in about two weeks.

led his army to victory, this grand anu glorious country of ours has progressed under good brains and capital to back them, and to-day we find ourselves the greatest and grandest nation on the earth. Occasionally little fellow will bob up and try and make trouble for us, but your Uncle is very patierF and only when you lean on his corns too hard did he say, ''Now, goll dern you! I'll teach you lesson to stay where you belong" where the last fel- low is staying now Then the fellow on the other side butts in and our gal lant hero of~Manila bay said, "Go way back, little Willie" and he did! The saD.e is true in the legitimate channels Of trade The merchant with the brains and capital, buying his wares from dealers of national reputation, nsing his capital in buying tremendous quantities. easily finds himself the Uncle Sam in his business. But the fakir, the huckster and the fmitator will crop up unaware, like the skunk and try and profit by copying the brains of their superior merchants, and I, as one of the largest and most re- liable wine and liquor merchants, would advise the above to go away back in their hole and when the weather gets fine we will call them out while the reliable wine and liquor mer- chants are away on their vacations.
