BODY NOT FOUND.
II Is Believed Deckhand Was Sucked
Under.

Nothing has been seen Of the body
OF Thomas Parker the negro tie hand,
who fell OFF the Margaret and was
drowned. The most generally be-
lieved theory of his disappearance
among river men. is that the unusu-
ally strong suction at the head OF
the dry docks, pulled him under and
probably is holding him there. Park
or only went under once and 1t is
thought that the suck hole there drew
him up under the docks. If his body
is under the docks It may be loosened
the next time the docks are sunk and
raised to take on boats. One of the
laborers of the West Kentucky Coal
company, negro above sixty years
old, says there Is such hole near
the docks, and that ne Will dive under
and bring out the body if he IS paid
enough. He says many bodies In
years past have been taken out of
that suck hole. If the body is not
caught on the docks this warm wealth
Ter is expected to make it rise.

pervisor e. B. Johnson, state Sena-
tor Wheeler Campbell. Eugene
Graves, and County Judge r. T.
Lightfoot, will speak at the college
at Lone Oak next Saturday nignt at
8 o'clock. Supervisor johnson has
been studying the practical side of
road making exclusively and his
speech Will be mainly in regard to
ways and means. The other speakers
will dwell on the advantage Of good
roads.
Supervisor Johnson will lay be-
fore the meeting a plan he has de-
vised whereby good roads can be Sc
cured for the country and in fact all
counties in the state. He proposes
that the state pay one-thlrd. the
county one-third, and the property
owner one-third the cost of construc-
ton OF the new roads. He would APP
ply the idea of the city In throwing
part OF the cost of the new roads, on
the abuttlng property owners.
Sxty-one miles of gravel roads
have been built by Supervisor John
son in the last three years at cost
of 100000 to the county. A bulletin
from Jackson, Tenn. shows that "a
miles Of road were built in Madison
county, Tenn, at cost to the coun-
ty Of $115,6St. Supervisor Johnson's
plan would have the state bear some
of the burden of building new roads.
thus stimulating the counties to ac-
tion on this important matter.

COSTLY PRESSURE
Heart and Nerve Fails ON Coffee.

A resident OF a great western state puts
the case regarding stimulants with a com
prehensive brevity that is admirable. He
says:
''I am IS years old and have had con-
erabls-experience with stimulants. They
are all alike-a mortgage on reserved ener-
Ky at ruinOus interest. AS the whip slim
ulates but does not strengthen the horse,
80 do stimuIapts act upon the human sys-
TEN. Feeling this way. 1 gave up coffee
and all other stimulants and began the use
of Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been apparent
from the first. The rheumatism that
used to suffer from has left me. sleep
