 Mrs Irwin has been in feeble state of health for some months but 1t was thought the trip would benefit her and the announcement of her untimely end came as a great shock to the citi- zens here among whom she spent her younger years and was greatly loved and esteemed.

 Roads
 Evergreen, Sept 14.-(Special. 1.-The election which is to be held in this county on October 2s will be to deter mine whether or not the Court of County Commissioners of Conecuh County shah issue bonds in the sum of s100,00O for the purpose of construct ing public roads in this county.
 The proposed bonds to be issued will be in the following manner: $50, 1000 are to be issued and dated January 1, 1908, and payable January 1, 1888; $25, 900 are to be issued and dated Jam uary l. 1909, and are payable January 1. 1899, and S25,000 are to be Issued and dated July 1, 1909, and payable July 1. 1889.
 number of citizens from this coun- ty have visited Pike County for the purpose of inspecting the good roads in that county and to note the man. ner of building them. They were deeply impressed, and on their return they met with the Board of Commis- sioners and presented the matter to them and asked the Commissioners to call an election at an early date. The Commissioners ordered this election last Saturday.
 The people of the county are taking a lively interest i nthe matter of good roads. and from the present outlook a majority of the voters will be in favor of issuing bonds for the improvement of them on the 2Sth of October.
 There are about 300 miles of public roads in this county.
 The election is called at this carly date in order that, if there is a major ity of voters for bond issue, the nec- essary details may be arranged to be- gin the actual work of road building with the beginning of the New year, or before if possible. The Commis- sioners believe that influences brought to bear upon them were sufficient to warrant them in calling the election. A similar election was held about four years ago. but was defeated by a small majority.

 Letter Talks.


 Mobile, Sept. 14-(SpeciaD-W. H. Helton, dealer in general merchandise at Foley, Ala, the father of the little girl who received an offensive letter through the mails from J. B. Ryals who is now in jail, has written letter here in which he says that Ryals is not a young man. as has been previous ly reported but is about thirty-five years. old and has a wife and three children.
 The man has never met the girl or any member of the Helton family ac- cording to MT. Helton, and it cannot be reasoned what prompted Ryals to write such an indecent letter to a young girl under these conditions.
 MT. Helton says that Ryals has lived in Foley about three months, and came from a place near Greenvfl1e, Ala. MT. Helton further says that there are no fears of the letter in question being lost, as suggested by United States Marshall Deans. of Mobile.

 Cotton has been coming in rapidly the past week and has been bringing a good price until today when there was quite a slump in the price. The first cotton brought to this market Is not bringing much over II 1-2 cents. Most of the farmers will hold back their cotton, hoping for a better price, as the crop is very short in this sec- ton.
 There has been remarkable in- crease in tax values in Pike County during the past two years, there has been q greater increase, by $60,000 more. in the past two years than there was in the ten years preceding.
 The following figures are given by Tax Assessor Charles Spradley: The valuation in 1896 was $3.591, ,3lS00; ten years later, in 1905, the valuation was s4,s2O, ss4.0O.
