The Bill.

There is now pending in Con-
gress a bill introduced by the
Hon. Walter P. Brownlow, OF
Tennessee, and the Hon. Jacob
III. Gallinger, Senator from New
Hampshire, appropriating $24,-
100000 as National aid for the
building OF wagon roads. This
sum is to be distributed to each
State according to it's popula-
ton, except that no State is to
receive less than $250,0gO. The
States or counties, receiving this
money must add a like amount,
so that $48,000,O 900 will be ex
pended in the building OF wagon
roads.
Colonel Brownlow says that
We have over 100000 miles OF
the finest railway in the world,
more miles of railway than all
the rest OF the globe put togeth-
er. yet we have the poorest wa
gon roads of any civilized coun-
try. He believes that no one
thing will do this country SO
much good as the building of
wagon roads, as provided for in
this bill. As these are to be
built in every State in the In
ion. they will be especially valu-
able as an object lesson. Expe-
renee has shown that wherever
good roads exist every one wants
more of them.-Ex.
Under the provisions OF this
bill, Mississippi would receive
$450,00 add a like amount by
the State, and there would be a
very nice little sum to partition
out between the counties for the
improvement of public roads.

Kemper's resentatives il

Kemper's rep resentatives in
the Mississippi legislature have
been appointed on the following
committees:
Hon. A. E. ~Grantham-Agri-
culture, Public Lands, Contin-
gent Expenses.
Hon. g. III. Ethridge-Ways
and Means, Education.
Both of our representatives
are comparatively young men,
and both have been sufficiently
before the public to be we'll
known and we'll thought of by
their constituents. They are en-
ergetic, hustling fellows, and we
look for some good work from
them during this session of the
States law-making body.

you needn't expect much.
The principal thing here and
around about here is the CHM
ing of wedding bells: but the
Ginning is heard and then comes

pie are wondering at is that they
never get to marriage. But l
guess it is best tor them to do
their quarrelling bet o re they
marry.
Mr.. Geo. Adams will soon have
his house completed. We are
PLAID that this family has decided
to make their home here, and
hope that they'll never regret
the step they have taken and
that they will have much happi.
ness in the future years.
We are glad to state that the
report of Miss Ida Bryan having

regret to say that, from the ex-
p"sure, her family ali have that
disease now. We hope tor them
an early recovery.
Miss Maye Bryan, who has
been sick the last two or three
days, is again able to be up and

glad of.

RACE TRACK ADDITION.

make lots near by treble in value within two years. +
give a written guarantee with every lot sold that this
Railroad will be in operation within two years from date.
Backed by a general bond sufficient to build and eouip

ket at $1,000 and increase $500 per lot every 100 lots
sold thereafter. There are about 2,4O0 lots in Race
Track Addition. An increase of $500 per lot on every
1901 lots sold, the last 100 lots must bring $780, 90 each.
The payments can be as follows: $5.O cash down and
$2.O0 per month on each lot, with no interest on deferred
payments. Those that get in on the first installments
will beyond a doubt make good investments. Two
