The board of supervisors was in
adjourned session three days this
week, considering the claims of
the Southern Bridge Company of
Birmingham. Ala. and Mr.. l.. ID.
Booth of this county, for building
"a steel draw bridge and abutments
thereto, across the Tombigbee riv-
er, near Amory.
These claims had been contested
successfully through all the State
courts by the county, and were
pending in the Federal court. and
had produced so much dissension
between citi zens of different Sec
tions of the county that everyone de
sired.them adjusted. Accordingly, a
bill was introduced in the legisla
ture by Representative h K. Cow
ley and became law, empowering
the board of supervisors 10 pur-
chase the bridge and put an end
to the litigation. All parties in
terested appeared before the board
this week and a compromise was
effected, whereby the county pays
$4,000 in settlement of all claims
the Bridge Company and Mr. Booth
paying all costs and Diminishing all
suits.
Expressions commenting the
Board for its prompt action in
terminating the unhappy differ
ences. are heard on all sides.

Little or no legislation, looking
to the betterment of the public
highways, was enacted during the
Legislative session. Resolutions
were adopted indorsing the Brown
low good roads bill now pending
before Congress. but that was
worth nothing. as the people
could have done as much without
voicing it through the legislature.
What was wanted was a law max
ing il obligatory on the boards OF
supervisors to have the roads work
ed by contract with an advalorem
road tax to defray the expense.
1t appears, however, that the
legislature did not comprehend
the wishes of the people or the
needs of the State in this respect,
or else it was afraid of its horses.
1t is certain that the people spoke
III no uncertain language on THIS
question when the members were
before them for election, and now
that the session il over and moth
ing has been done, it is up to each
mem Der. when he returns to his
constituency, TO explain why.
Good roads is solution to many
perplexing difficulties that retard
development in the State. The
people know it. and yet no way
has been provided to secure them.

pad, her usually merry eyes streaming
with tears. Beside her stood a man
looking exceedingly awkward and IN

Circus folk are always resentful of
the intrusion OF the outside world into
their domain. and the fact that this
stranger wore frock coat and an ex-

of the dressing tent, and, lighting the
short stub of a pipe he carried, blew
great clouds of smoke into the soft
evening air, as he tried to think what
the circus would be on the morrow,
with no little Nell to make every one
merry.
There in the soft light that came
through the tent she found him. Out

she began confidingly. Don't you re-

we ever got money we would start

the company people we really liked and
make them do only one act apieceY
He laughed shortly.

go and live up to it. 1t would never

"See here, Nell" he commanded.

for you, my girl Make up your mind
to that"
She turned up the turf with the toe

other sounds of preparation began, and
presently she, too, went inside.

The 'round top was already packed

women's side of the dressing tent,
where the lawyer waited impatiently

The lawyer clustered and stormed,
but she was adamant, and finally he

"You can't go with us, Nell" said
the, clown, his face as white as though
he had not removed his ring makeup.
'HThere is no reason why you should

She made him a saucy courtesy.
