THE FISCAL COURT.
"
Valuable Improvements Outlined
and the County Enters a
New Era.
GOOD. SOLID ROADS WILL BE BUILT.

The Fiscal Court adjourned last Fri
day afternoon after being in session
from Tuesday morning, and from start
to finish, so far as we were able to OBJ
serve, did its duty in fair square man.
ner, meeting every proposition that
came before it in a manner well befit-
ing competent men who have the good
of the county at heart. AS is usual,
the many claims for aiding the poor,
working roads, etc., were presented and
allowed after finding same to be just.
In matters affecting the future welfare
of the county, some important steps
were taken, but taken cautiously and
discreetly. The advocates of good
roads are feeling jubilant since the
court gave an evening to the citizens to
express their views and to aid in devel-
oping plan by which to accomplish
the building of macadam roads. After
due elaboration levy of 20 cents was
made for this purpose and which means
that at least few miles of road will
be built this year, the plan Yet to be
determined. The court also decided to
buy farm for the purpose of keeping
all county charges for less money to
the county and more comfort to the un-
fortunates. In this as in the move for
stone roads, we believe an important
step has been taken. The levy for or
binary county expenses including sum
to be invested in buying a farm and
erecting buildings, foots up 26 cents on
the 500. A committee to find a suit
able farm, and one to inquire into the
best methods of road making was ap-
pointed and will be in position to report
in few weeks. The sum total cannot
now be given by US but, with no discred-
it to former courts of this kind, we be-
lieve that the present set of Magistrates
and entire membership of the court
combined has given more evidence OF
progress than any similar body that ev-
er convened in Adair county. The en-
tire makeup are men of good judgment,
and their start shows them in touch
with the progressive spirit of our times.
This paper is in full accord with the
plans and actions of the court, and
stands ready to aid in the good work
outlined and undertaken.
In this issue Coffey Bros, advertise
their fine horse, Lincoln Squirrel, and
your attention is directed to it if in
any way interested in raising high class
horses. His pedigree shows him to be
equal to the best in the entire state,
and as an individual he can be seen in
their stable any day. Coffey Bros,
are too well known throughout this
country to need comment or recommen-
dalton from us, for in all their expert
ence they have dealt strictly on the
square, and have handled only such
stock as could be well patronized in any
section. In the makeup and breeding
of Lincoln Squirrel they are convinced
that they never had his equal, and in
view of this they solicit the patronage
of their many friends who desire to
raise good horses. Read the advertise
ment.

obsolete at the time OF its destruc
ton.
1t was seaport of considerable
importance. it's river was navigablt
some distance up the Sarnus valley
it was the resort of the wealthy from
Rome, and was about as important
a little town es could BIO imagined.
1t had boom after tho earth
quake of A. d. c3, and was being
rebuilt in an elaborate manner in
the new Roman style, which COM
bined Greek and Italian features,
when yesuvius by its eruption We
toed It all.
The Oscans founded the town, and
they were imbued with Greek civ
ilization. After the SamnIto wars
Rome made the town subject. Later
It was made Roman territory by Sui
la, but IL was done peaceably after
his soldiers had attacked it in vain.
Cicero was one OF the noble Romans
who made 1t his home. A few years
before the eruption the lid" was
put on the town because OF a partic-
ularly bloody battle between Pom
relians and Nucerines in the amphi-
theater, prize fights being prohibited
for period OF ten years
When the eruption came. Il came
gradually. beginning with q fall of
fine dust which settled down to a
depth OF three feetsAy However, 1000
lives were lost, and tho question,
"why did they not escape?" is an
swered by the fact that scores have
died near Naples in the last week in
similar eruption with and in the
face of just aud ample warning.
Everyone seemed to have forgot
ten about Pompeii, until A. d. 1892
the Italian architect Fontana laid a
water main from the river Sarnus
TO Tore Annunziata right through
the heart Of Pompeli, digging up here

handful Of "denarii." Nothing was
done for some years, and finally
nearly the whole town was laid bare.

perform, the duties exacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms Of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Miss Abby f. Barrows, jacksonville.
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
II feel it my duty TO tell you the good
lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before
I took them l was very nervous, had dull
irregular, I had been to several doctors, and
they did me no good.

tends a cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She Is daughter-in-law of
Lydia f. Pinkham and for twenty-fi
years has been advising sick women

success In treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value TO

the precincts. Each house was mum
bered, and there was an elaborate
numbering scheme. The streets
were known by numbers. but the
Italians have given them new names
which are more distinctive.
All Pompeiian streets are narraw
there were no street cars TO claim
space. Some are only fourteen feet
wide, but most Of them have narrow
little sidewalks. There are public
fountains at street corners. There
still remain on the dead walls cleo
ton placards painted in red, the
announcement of candidates for
'aedile," etc. The scrawls OF school
children on houses are stu to be
noted Most of the houses are built
of concrete, indicating that in the
concrete buildings of today history
is repeating itself. The walls are not
thick, but none of the buildings is
very high. Shops open right onto
the street. 1t is said that in a wine
shop the ring from some toper's cup
Is still seen on the marble counter.
The dwelling houses vary in size.
Those occupied by the wealthy had
many. rooms and had an atrium, a
pesistyle and a fountain. The front
part of the house was the most pub
lie. The family spent most of the
time in the airy courts. The serv-
ants were required to live on the sec
ond floor.
Pompcii IN It's day must have been
very attractive in appearance, II not
gaudy. Bright eolors were used on
the walls, on the mosaic floors and
in frescoes to relieve the concrete
and marble.

from Hercules. A tradition was that
Hercules founded the place. Its 10

it became the site of many Roman
villas. After the great eruption of
A. d. 70 people persisted in living
upon the spot covered by the ashes.
and their village was destroyed in
472 by an eruption, which also
changed the appearance OF the coun-
try. Unlike Pompeii. the position of
Herculaneum was not forgotten, and
excavations were made years before
Pompeii was found.

proved, again and again, in the most diff
ficult germ diseases. Then we offered TO
supply the first bottle free in every di-
sease that required it. And over ono
million dollars have been spent to an

The result is that IL 100000 bottles
have been used, mostly in the past two
years. Today there are countless cured
ones, scattered everywhere, to tell what
Liquozone has done.
But so many Others need it that this
offer is published still. In late years, sci

attacks. Old remedies do not apply to
them. We wish 10 show those sick ones

In the past few years, scores Of dis
eases have been traced to germ attacks.
They were thought to be due to other
causes when old-time remedies were
made. Can you not see why you don't
get well, il you treat germ disease with
remedies that can't kill germs?
The remedy of to-day is Liquozone,
and the first bottle is free. It's power
is best told by test. We ask you to
try it, as millions have done, and learn
what 1t means TO you. Learn what this
gas-made germicide can do.
