nut street gap between the MADEIRA
and Front street was ordered to be
paved.
1t is stated that there are to be

time on account of the disposition of
property owners alongside the street
to claim damages whenever the town
should pave it.
Bumbo Lane was ordered paved
from High street to Front street.
This is an important street and has
needed to be paved for some time.
In connection with the paving it
may be of interest to name the
streets which are to receive atten-
tion in this direction.
The first one to be paved will be
Beechurst which is to be paved from
Fourth street as far north as the
proceeds of the bond election viii
take il. This is expected To go 10
the rear Of the Seneca Glass fac
tory.

the Second ward is to be paved tor
distance of 500 feet. One third of
the cost is to be borne Ly the town
and the remaining two thirds by the
property owners along the street.
Chestnut street is to be paved from
Court Alley to Foundry street.

Road Matters Absorbing Attention Of
that Tribunal.

The county court convened Monday,
with all the Commissioners, Messrs.
Jennewine, Harner and Core, present.
County road matters are aAsorhing
the attention Of the court. Several
petitions for new roads were fled at
the regular session in March, and
come up for consideration at this spe-
cial session. A number OF citizens
from Grant district were In town this
morning to appear for or against .
proposed new road across the district
from Scott's Run.
Yesterday Clinton district was rep
resented by number OF citizens who
have petitioned for new road from
ellington to Morgantown. The old
road has been flooded by slack water
since the building of the locks and
dams.
The damages asked by land owners
through whose premises the new high
way would pass seem to the court ex-
cessive. There are infant heirs to the
T. N. Devault land, and application
will have to be made to the circuit
court for decree TO enter upon it,
and make new road.
1t seems probable that several con-
domination suits viii have to be
brought Ia the circuit court before the
rights OF way for new road can be
secured.

not know that the fellow had conceal

several years and from indications
the result will not be to break that

DON'T 90 IT GOVERNOR

Governor Jennings will make a
mistake if he sets aside the recOmmen-
dation of the Democratic Executive
Committee of this county and refuses
to appoint E. L. Carney to succeed
+. p. Thagard as tax collector.
There are no divisions in the demo-
cratic party in Marion county and
the rank and file are determined that
there shll be none.
Mr.. Carney won with hands down
in the race before the executive
committee and is fairly entitled to
the nomination, and if the action of
the committee is set aside be will
have a walk over in primary.
Indeed, We do not believe he will
have any opposition.
We do not believe that there is a
democrat in the county who would
permit his name to be used in the
race against him-certainly none of
those whose names were before the
executive committee would do so.
A large majority of the democrats
of this county are determined to hold
up the hands of executive committee,
and it were as silly to bay at the
moon as to think otherwise
With the executive committee be-
hind HIM turning him down will
make Mr.. Carney the most popular
man IN the county and he will be tax
collector or something better.

If Judge LiddOn is TO be candidate

Another candidate has been added
to the long list of gubernatorial as

ure of seeing Judge LiddOn here not
long ago, and he was not at that time
seen to be suffering from any undue
political ambition. 1t is, OF course,
quite within the bounds of possibility
that he has since changed his mind
and really means to make the race.
Should he do so, it will be interesting
to observe what effect his aspirations
will have upon those with whom the
Hon. William H. Milton, Jr., is popu.
larry credited. Both men are from
