Sufficient Reason for Not Marrying.

Not all the marriage licenses
issued are used, although as q
general thing whenever a man
parts with his three dollars he
gets d wife. Sometimes, how
ever, the girl reconsiders her
rash "yes" at the eleventh hour
hour, then the license goes back
to the circuit clerk with a state
ment that the couple failed to be-
come man and wife, that some
thing happened to undo Cupid s
work.
The writer was in Mr.. Foeg's
office day or two ago while he
was entering such a license. It
had been issued to d ;sdueky couple
living not far from fernando.
The reason given by the man why
they failed to marry appeared on
the license, and it was a sufficient
one. The loss of his money and
his damsel was caused by the girl
going back" on him.

Killing in Tate County.

A man named Whit killed
another named Thomalson, a
nephew of DR.. Thomalson, lin
Tate county, on the Wednesday
before Christmas near Strayhorn.
We were unable to learn any
particulars further than that the
killing was an unprovoked mur-
der.
Feeling against Whit was so
high that it was deemed best to
bring him here at once to escape
mob violence. He Was brought
here and placed in Jail, but ru.
mors of attempts to organize d
lynching party still being rife,
he was carried from here to
Batesville last Monday.

Shot by Mistake.

Frank Winston an old negro
man of Lake View, was shot and
seriously wounded by Daniel
Boone last Tuesday.
The old negro had planned a
fishing trip on the lake and arose
early Tuesday morning and went
to Boone's store to secure his oars
and tackle, which he kept under
the store. Hearing a noise Mr..
Boone went to investigate, and
seeing the negro under the build
ing and thinking him robber,
opened fire upon him, breaking
his left arm and thigh.
Upon discovering who his vic
tim Was, Mr.. Boone summoned
medical aid for the wounded man
and later sent him to the city hos
pital in Memphis for treatment.

JUDGE WEST DEAD
Venerable Citizen Succumbs to the In.
frmites OF Age.

Judge r. r. West died abou
IL o'clock Monday night at hi:
residence here. The end, though
long expected, was peaceful, anc
he expired without a struggle OF
groan. He retired Monday night
saying'he felt much better thar

him to have a good nights rest,
but about II O'Clock a slight
movement attracted the attention
OF his wife and before she could
summon other mem bers of the
household the Judge was dead.
The judge had long been a fa-
mlllar figure in Hernando, having
practiced law and held office here
for mum Der of years. His last
work was as chancefy clerk about
II years ago, when he declined to
be a candidate for this office,
which he filled SO long and accep-
tably Whit he had accumulat-
ed for his old age was lost thro'
misfortune, yet he TOOK the loss
brave]y.
For the past several months
he had been unable to leave his
nome except occasionally. and
calmly and serenely he awaited
the inevitab BILE summons.
His remains were Inferred in
the Spring Hill cemetery at his
request made some time AGO. Gle
was a member Of the Christian
church, was nearly Sc years old,
and had lived an exemplary life.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to the patient. faithful,
loving wife in her great bereave-
ment and the other relatives.

NUMBER 1
Letter from Texas.

Editor Times-Promoter:
1 | have just moved from Cedar
View to Gladewater, Texas, in
upshurs county, and will give you
a short description of this coun-
Uy.
1t is about as billy as DeSoto
and has black sandy soil. The
original forest growth IS oak,
gum, maple, hickory and pine.
Pine is the principal timber and
sawmllllng is leading industry.
Since | have been here | learn
that the farmers have organized
into an association to raise vege-
tables for market. The fear of
the Mexican boil weevil has led
them into this new departure, al
though it has not made it's ap-
pearance here yet. Potatoes, to-
maioes, melons, peanuts, cabbage
and in fact all garden products
grow we'll and quickly here.
Fruit and berries are grown ex-
tenslvely.
The entire county has free
mail delivery and telephone lines
running to nearly every farm
house. | find nice clever people
here.
The Cotton Belt and Texas Pa.
ciflc railroads cross the county.
Gilmer is the county seat and is
located on the Cotton Belt road.

A thief or thieves attempted to
break into Mr.. w f. Wesson's

around the lock to one Of tie
doors. They bored out the catch
to the bolt, but We're evidently

Some one also raised the win
dow of Mr. Tom Wilcox S jewelry

No clew was discovered that

Roads Worked by Contract.

The board Of supervisors in
making plans and specifications
Tor working the roads by contract
nave made mistake in the width
for first and second class roads.
The first class roads should have
been made the full width of the
rlght-of-Way. 80 feet, and the
second class 20 feet, but as it is
neither is wide enough, and the
crown OF the road bed is not high
enough to carry the water to the
side bitches. The water must
be drained from the road bed as
last as it falls and the bitches
Should be not less than two hun
dred yards, or at every natural
outlet. The contract which the
board adopted is defective in sew
eral instances, first in not requir-
ing the contractors to give bond
Tor the proper performance of
their duties, and in not providing
for a ''hold, outn of d part of the
contractors pay in case of failure
to come up to their agreement.
The roads have not been worked
according to specifications, in
width or crown or grade of
crown and fill at the abutments
OF bridges, or drainage of water
from the road bed. There are
too many places in roads where
the width will not permit two
wagons to pass each other, and |
the bitches on the hills are too
deep. The roads IN this county
are in but little better shape now
than under the old system.
The contract system is all right
If the law is enforced, but the
way the roads have been worked /
the past year by the board and
road commissioner, the people
have not been getting a run for
for their money. We hope the
new board will see that the roads
are worked according to the plans
and specifications, and make the
changes above noted
