William Tounsleay of Bengay
was the guest of Sampson Bar
nett and wife Saturday night
and Sunday.
We oppose the act of the last
levying court in the matter Of
the road tax. We wanted one
mill and half for road pur.
poses and a resolution passed
forcing the overseer to work not
less than twelve hands a day.
Had this been done a mill and a
half would have been sufficient
levy. Then the overseer would
have come around and
said, "Bill, or John, you may
warn the hands for next week."
and he would not have got en-
his horse, rode all day, warned
six or eight hands and charged
the county S1,50. The high tax
is not altogether what the people
are kicking on. Another thing
is the way their money is being
gobbled up by the overseers,
and we want to thank the JUS
tees who voted for one and a
half mills, and want them to
stick to that amount, although
we suppose they have had their
last opportunity to vote on the
matter. II there is not some
thing done for the roads during
the next two years, the tax will
be voted to the d. next election.

Few of us dwell long in this sordid

MOTORING NEWNEss.

Much thought is taken for the con-
yenience of those who own motor cars
1t is hardly possible to wander into the
shops without witnessing some new de
vice 10 add to the material comfort OF
these already lucky ones.
Most recent of these inventions is the
automobile hatbox. This clever article
which is so made as to be absolutely
waterproof and dustDroOf, is circular in
shape, and fits into the double emergency
tire space. 1t is strapped tight to the
cushion and is fitted with a little brass
lock.
Another novelty Is the automobile
trunk. a waterproof dustproof, and very
smart-looking receptacle designed to carry
the necessary wardrobe for weekend

WINTER MORNING GLORIES.

From HaTers Bazar.
Morning glories can be easily grown in
the house during the winter. Planted
in pots. they viii bloom in about six
weeks. Put three or four seeds in each
pot. and place near a window. If planted
late in the winter, put tumblers over
them until they get started. Let them
run on a basket reed or piece of feather
bone, and when It Is nearly covered, bend
It over and stick the other end in the
pot, and there will be a circle of bios
SONS. The vines can be trained on cords
and so deliCately outline a frieZe which
would be charming In a breakfast-room.
Nasturtiums may be used in the same
way, and cObaea is also a good runner
for the house.

FOR FEMININE TRAVELLERS.

For tired travelling feet of the feminine
persuasion there is newly on the scenes
a special travelling slipper designed to
be thrust into small compass in the trav-
cling bag. and yet lacking the limp and
heel-less quality Of the ordinary bedroom
slipper. These new travellers slippers are
of soft leather in pretty colors, and have
a substantial enough heel and sole for
room wear; yet so flexible are they that
they can be packed away in the smallest
compass. They come in pretty colored
leather cases to match. each slipper tuck
ed in a pocket, and the case folded COM
pactly and tied with ribbons. And since
the air is permeated with the spirit of
giving. it may be added that they would
make a thoughtful little remembrance for
the woman who runs about lot.
