had closed the doors of his place of
business In Waxahachie. and that he
would not again open up in the city.
He discontinued the sale of "Uno, ="
"lno" and Frosty" Monday night.
but kept his house open a day or two
more in order that he might dispose
of soda water and other cold drinks
then on hand so that he might suffer
as little loss as possible. Mr.. DickeT
said that just as soon as he could
get through with the courts and wind
up his affairs here he would probably
seek a location in Oklahoma. He
said he would have moved away
about two months ago had it not
been for the indictments pending

The Light is just where 1t has al

We trying TO confiscate any of the

NEW SUPERVISOR
 GOES INTO OFFICE
Joe H, Hill Is in Charge of
 County Roads,
RAINS DID HEAVY DAMAGE
The County Board of Revenue Has AL ready Spent $25,0oo In RebuiIdnq Bridges and Macadamized
 Highways-Going Talks.

Joe H. Hill. the newly elected road su- perVisor of Jefferson county. took formal charge of the office last Monday. His predecessor J. Edward Haigler retired from the office last Saturday.
 On account of the unprecedented rains in this region in August and September. Mir Hill found the roads in the county In very bad shape though the county Board of Revenue has been spending thou sands of dollars in repairs during the last two months. But he hopes to soon have them in reasonable condition again.
 The office of road supervisor of Jeffer- son county Is one of no small importance, since that official has charge of 100 miles of road, BOO of which are macadamized. The Board of Revenue is constantly ex tending the mileage of macadam and the supervisor has charge of all this work besides looking after the bridges of the county.
 During the last two years twenty-two new steel bridges have been built in tha county.
 In discussing the condition of the pub- lie roads of Jefferson county yesterday Job Going of the Board of Revenue said. 'fhe storms during August and septem- Der damaged the roads and bridges of Jefferson county to the extent of about $}o'oOO. We are doing all in our power to hurry the repairing of this damage syA, | the work is necessarily slow We have already spent s25.OOO in repair work alone and will spend from $5O00 to SiO0Oo more. All bridges washed away during the storms have been rebuilt but three. and they will be replaced as soon as possible Contracts have been let for the construc- tion or these bridges and the material Is now being placed on the ground
 We have twelve overseers with two teams and eight men each on the mac adam roads, making repairs. These forces have been employed since November 1. and will be continued until the roads are in good condition
 The county Board of Revenue has only built three miles of new macadam road this year. Two miles were built on Avenue r, out toward Elmwood ceme- tery. and one mile was built on Third i avenue from Sixth street 10 Col T. 0. Smiths place, west of Birmingham.
 We have had all we could do in keep- ing up repairs and especially busy have we been since the fall rains in Septem- Der. which did more damage to the roads of this county than any previous storms in the history of the county"
