Uncle Sam Has No Regular Holiday

The next holiday in Iowa is Memorial
day and already the old soldiers are
making arrangements for it's proper OBJ
servance. And this leads to the
thought that there is wide divergence
through the United States in regard to
holidays. Each state is left free to
select as few or as many holidays as the
people desire.
Dlverge ideas regarding the fixing of
legal holidays have been entertained
by the law makers in the various states,
with the result that there is lack of
uniformity on the anniversaries of
events of paramount Importance to
those particular states. January l.,
New Years day, is a legal holiday in all
the states except Massachusetts,, Miss
issippi and New Hampshire.
February II, Lincoln's birthday, is a
legal holiday in Connecticut, illinois,
Minnesota, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Wash
ington and Wyoming. In all states ex-
cept Mississippi, Washington's birthday
is observed as a legal holiday. The
Texans observe March ., the ami
versary of their independence, as a
legal holiday. Good Friday is a legal
holiday in Alabama, Louisiana, Mary
land, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
April Both is observed as confederate
Memorial day in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia and Mississippi. The day is
observed on May 10th in the two
Carolinas. May Goth is the legal holi-
day in North Carolina, the anniversary
of the singing of the Mccklenberg
declaration Of independence.
ArhOr lav G NOT rapopo Tx, ol,co,,,o.l
In Arizona it is legal holiday; also in
Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, the
day being fixed by the governors of the
states. In Texas Arbor day is observed
on Washington's birthday, February .,
while in Nebraska it is on April % each
year. In Utah, April Is is the day set
aside, while in Rhode Island it is not
observed until May II; Montana has
chosen the second Tuesday in May, and
Florida in mid-winter, the first Friday
in February. The first Friday in
December is set aside in Georgia. The
day is school holiday in Colorado, and
is celebrated on the third Friday of the
month of April.
May 80, Memorial day, is legal Holt
day in all the states except Alabama
Eloilud, oooiSld, ludHO, AenUucky, MISS
issippi. North Carolina, South Carolina
and Texas. In Virginia it is known as
Confederate Memorial day. July 4
Independence day, is legal holiday in
all the states, though in some states il
is not statutory holiday. Christmas
is legal holiday in all the states OF
the union. There is no national holiday
not even the Fourth of July. Congress
has at various times appointed special
holidays. In the second session of the
fifty-third congress it passed an act
making Labor day a public holiday il
the District of Columbia, and it ha.
recognized the existence of certain day.

Mr.. Samuel H. Newbold, of Louis
vile, who is interested in lands in this
county, speaks out plainly in favor of
bridging Green river at Neatsville. He
states that he will give liberal dona-
ton besides paying his tax. Mr.. New
bold gave $500 to aid in building the
bridge over Russell creek, on the STAN
ford road, although but little to him, if
any. His land is in the Neatsville
country and he is heartily in favor of
the bridge and in making pike road
through that country.
Mr.. ]. A. Turner, one of our best cit
liens in the Montpelier section, was in
town Monday, the first time in over a
year. Mr.. Turner stated: I live just
over the line in Russell county but
own land in Adair and you may say that
l am heartily in favor of using a rock
crusher and making roads. feel q

to see the roads piked and will cheerfuly

Mr.. Geo. w Robertson. who is pub

roads, but he wants evey stream in the
county that becomes past fording

taxed for this purpose, and is anxious
for the Fiscal Court to make a levy
for said improvements.
Mr. z. M. Staples, a taxpayer of
Adair, says: 81 am in faver of public
improvement, and our county roads in
many localities are in a wretched condi-
ton. If the Fiscal Court would buy
crushers and put metal on the roads
travel would soon be made easy. am
not opposed to bridges, but think at

lieve the people of this county would

can get up enough to help out of the
