men who would not pay their sub
scriptions, obtaining judgment in
each claim. OF these. twenty-eight
made affidavit that they owned no
more than the law allowed. thus
preventing attachment. Then un-
der the decision of the supreme

Forest preservation and the saving
of millions of dollars annually are
two of the chief points advanced by
the Fox River Valley print paper
manufacturers. who have come
forth with a proposition that would
revolutionize the print paper indus
try of this country. 1t is to use
black instead of white paper for
newspapers, the ink to be white in
stead of black. The idea was sug-
gested because Of the apparent GER
tainty of white print paper going
beyond price where it will be pro-
fitable for use as news paper. Manu-
facturers declare that black paper
can be made for much less than
white, inasmuch as old newspapers
would be the principal stock in the
black paper. The matter viii be
brought to the attention Of the big
eastern paper manufacturers nj the
conclusion of the congressional in
vestigating committees work in
Washington.

Geo. w. Rice, of Columbus. Ohio,
80 years of age, was the oldest

at the biennial convention of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-

Rice. in 1893 when we built strip
of road from New York to Boston.
At that time l was with a civil
engineering corps. afterward
entered the machine shop and ran
my first engine from New York to
Albany in 1874. In those days we
didn't have the telegraph. We

During this time of the year our
roads are nearly always very rough.
which makes travelling over them
disagreeable. Very little work. at
slight expense. with the road drag
will make a wonderful Improvement.
There is no other tool better adapt
ed to the improvement of earth
roads. so far as the actual work
done. cost. ease Of operation. etc,
are concerned, as the drag. The
best time to use the drag is after
each wet spell, just as the surface is
beginning to dry and is still wet
enough to smear Every time the
mud is spread over tIe surface and
is beaten down and dried. the road
is improved. One dragging at a
time is usually sufficient.

In response to a unanimous invi-
tation from the business men Of
Swink the democratic hosts of Otero
county have decided to hold their
county convention in that burg on
Wednesday. June 10th. They say
that Swink is going to build an audi
torium. all same Denver. to house
the happy family of jefferson. Jack
son. Tom Patterson. Bob Speer. Billy
Bryan. Too Much Johnson from Min
nesota, and the gentle Alva from the
little Pittsburg of the West. Stone
walls do not prison make. nor iron
bars q cage. but they'll need some
thing of that kind in Swink to keep
the animals within proper bounds.
The county convention is called to
elect twenty-three delegates to the
state convention which meets in
Glenwood Springs. Monday. June
18th. Did you observe? Twenty
three for Otero County! Twenty
three for all the rest Of the bunch,
also!

There is no question that Senator
Patterson is hoodoo. He brought
goodly number of votes to the
Phelps ticket, which offset much of
the mollycoddle Republican Speer
vote, yet he is SO cordially hated
that he gave many Republicans an
excuse for voting for Speer by his
gratuitous espousal of the Phelps
ticket The Patterson support was
unsolicited. and was forced upon the
party, without the slightest deal or
understanding Of any sort. The
Republican committee and Phelps
himself declined to have any politi-
cal understandings of any kind with
him. knowing that his sole motive
was to get even with his enemy
when he would turn upon. the Re-
publican organization with demands
that would make it an adjunct to
his machine.

sWEETWATER PARK,
 IDEAL RESORT.
VIII Open Its Doors Under New Man
 aEement, June list.

It is a matter of much interest tc those who have visited Sweetwater Park. as well as those who anticipate this great pleasure to know that the hotel has been leased for a term or years by Mir. John S. Bowen. who will give 1t his personal supervision this Summer
 Sweetwater Park Hotel Is located in Lithia Springs. Ga, only 20 miles from Atlanta on the Southern Railway, in the verdant heart of a beautiful park artistically laid out in modern land scape form, with cool shady walks fringed with blooming flowers, and flashing fountains. The Hotel Is one of the handsomest in the South; thor oughly modern. with perfect sanitation. Another point which gratifies every one is the freedom from mosquitoes. flies and other insects. The air is exceedingly bracing and exhllerating- l2OO feet above Sea level-and when coupled with the fact that the water supply is of absolute purity. coming from the famous Bowden Lithia Springs, it is easy to understand why Sweetwater Park Hotel Is one of the most highly appreciated resorts in this or any other section.
 Mir Bowden has with him a competent corps of assistants. most of whom have been with him for years in Northern and in Florida Resorts
 A feature of special interest will be the noted Turkish, Russian. Vapor and shower baths served from the medi- cinaI waters of the Lithia Springs. under the supervision of an experienced masseur and the masseuse. from West Baden Baths. Adv
