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 $500 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 to aid 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 Is per cent of
the amount to be expended by the
county. No subscription will be &C
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 by 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.

VALUABLE PEACOCK SOLD.

Last week Mr.. r. F. PAUL sold his
yearling stallion colt, Rex PAUL, to Mr..
Milt Monday, Jr., of Casey Creek, for
the small sum of $3.50. This one of the
best yearlings ever seen in this part of
the country and doubtless as good as
any in the state. He was sired by Jor-
dan Peacock, the sire of more beautiful
high class horses than any horse in the
State. His dam is Elsie Owsley, by
Red Squirrel, first dam by Artist, max
ing one of the finest combinations of
fancy blood in this or any other Sec
ton.
The Colt, Rex PAUL. is an individual
without flaw or defect in his make
up, fine size, extra action, all the style
that any colt could possess, beautiful
bay, marked to perfection-in fact an
ideal individual that will some day
prove of inestimable worth to the Sec
ton in which he goes and to this part of
the country generally. Not exagerat-
ing, Rex PAUL, is worthy of the high
est appreciation in any country and un-
less some accident happens will prove
an investment to his owner of far more
value than he now hopes to realize in
the development of this valuable young
horse. The Dam has just dropped
beautiful bay filly colt which Mr.. PAUL
would not take $500, being by the
same sire Jordan Peacock. In justice
to Mr.. Mondays purchase we must say
that the colt he purchased won every
blue he went after last year at the Co.
lumbia Fair, leaving the grounds
graduate and over the best congrega-
ton of colts ever shown on the grounds.
These little incidents may or may not
be taken as of much Importance, but it
takes a fine colt to make a fine horse,
winning colt for winning horse. We
congratulate the buyer and appreciate
the fact that Rex PAUL is still to find
his home in the the county of Adair.
