TO CITIZENS INTERESTED
IN GOOD ROADS.

Pursuant to an order of the Fiscal
Court, the Road Tax must be expend-
ed in the Magisterial District from
which it is collected. During the year
1908 there will be about $4,000 to be
used in the Columbia Magisterial Dis
trict out side of the corporation of Co.
lumbia. By order of the court it is
left to the Supervisor and Magistrate
to determine on the roads and in what
manner it shall be used. We believe
in piking the roads and making them
permanent as far as the money will
hold out, and we think that the citizens
directly interested in the roads to be
piked ought toad US in so doing. We
will expend the taxes collected in this
district in the year 1908 on one or more
of the principle roads of this district
which will subscribe and secure the
greatest amount of money and labor to
assist us. The said subscription to
amount to not less than % per cent of
the amount to be. expended by the
county. No subscription will be ac-
copied as bid for less than continuous
half mile of pike. The county to do
the grading of the roads and the metal
to be put on according to specifications
by contract with the lowest and best
bidder. AS different roads having
more or less travel, require different
specifications, the specifications for
each road will be agreed on bv the
Supervisor and Magistrate together
with the person or persons raising the
subscription for said road. The citi-
zens on each road that desires to take
advantage Of this proposition are re-
quested to raise their subscription and
present it to be Supervisor on or before
the LIST day of June, 1908.

The closing exercises in the Male and
Female High School were begun las;
Sunday forenoon with an Introductory
sermon to the pupils by Rev. ]. R.
Crawford, of Burkesvllle. The church
was filled to, its utmost capacity and the
pupils were treated to an eloquent ad-
dress, Astounding in much good advice,
told in a very captivating manner. Rev.
Crawford is very forcible speaker and
all who heard him were exceedingly
well-pleased.
Monday evening a large audience
greeted pupils of Mr.. Ohlenmacher and
many difficult pieces of music were rem
dered to perfection, every one who took
part being highly complimented.
Wednesday evening there will be a
piano recital by six young ladies, and
also two numbers will be rendered by
the chorus class. This promises to be
a very delightful entertainment.
The pueifs of the M. and F. High
School met at the Fair Grounds last
Friday and spent the day picnicing.
The occasion was highly enjoyable, and
they are indebted to their teacher for
conveying them to the grounds on a
hay wagon. There was dinner in
abundance for all. There were many
amusing incidents during the day, the
pupils all being sorry when the hour
arrived for them to return to their
homes.

of so cents per year to this noble
charity. Every one desiring to become
a member and assist in this work should

Mike Winfrey, ct al met them and the
playing was swift, often the ball being
sailing in the air, out of sight. The
game closed at the last half of the sixth
inning, eleven to five in favor of the
Old Liners. Following this game Cane
Valley High School club met the Joppa

He never could admire,
They've made Kentucky awful dry
And going to make it dryer.
With corn and rye so very high
Should they continue higher
When the Colonel warns himself
He'll warm him by the fire.
The Colonel is mighty man.
The Colonel is Dandy
He used to take his wiskey straight
Ditto his apple brandy
The little still behind the hill
The Colonel claims is handy
And when the rascals raise row
Just skip for Indiana.

THE LINDSEY.WILSON.

The closing of The Lindsey. Wilson
SchPol yesterday marked its most sue
cessful term and reflects much credit
on its able management. The enroll
ment outnumbered any previous session,
being more than three hundred, and
when the last curtain dropped there
were more in regular attendance than
its fondest and most enthusiastic friends
had ever pictured. From the beginning
of the last term it has been crowded
with the best young people of the land,
and the advancement in every depart
ment has been in keeping with the at
tendance. The boarding halls could not
near accommodate the many who were
here from a distance, and many were
compelled to board at the hotels and in
private families. This condition ought
to impress The Educational Board of
the Importance of larger halls and more
of them, for year by year the school is
growing in interest and more thorough
ly impressing its worth on the country,
which means an increase in attendance
as the good work goes on. Again, the
ass of young people attracted by this
school is as good as any institution of
the kind can hope for or desire. Those
in the boarding halls being under the
direct charge of the principals, may
have been restrained in the tendencies
of youthful mischieveness, but the many
who were in private families and at the
hotels were less restrained by the watch
full Professors, yet were under the
same rigid discipline, and while this is
true, they all showed marked respect
for the rules and that earnest desire for
advancement as to deserve the highest
expression of praise, not only from the
l5acplti lgorn the hotels and the
