These men SHOW why
BONDS ARE NECESSARY
BANKERS AN FARMERS ALIKE
FIGURE MONEY SAVED BY VoT-
ING THEM.

The sentiment in favor of the
bond issue is growing every day, as
the people understand the necessity
OF the improvements and the terms
on which the money is to be gotten.
The thought Of getting good roads
throughout the country is encourag-
ing to the farmers who have lived
here a great number of years and
have gotten to market and Travelled
through the country as best they
could without suitable roads and
bridges.
felix J. King livirg east ot Ard

bridge bonds. He has opened a
road through his land and will make
a seventy foot boulevard, he wants
10 get a government engineer here
and make mile of experimental
road Macadam or asphalt will be
used in making a perfect piece of
roadbed for the purpose of testing
the cheapness of the material and
also its durability The work of
building roads in Carter county will
inspire land owners to vie with each
other in making good roads adjacent
10 their property and there will be
many a dollar spent for the conven-
fence of the people by the individual
land owners.
J. A. Britton, a farmer. living five
miles south of Ardmore, says he
wants to be quoted as favoring the
bond issue. He sees no reason WIN
the county should pay rent on so' .
body elses building for court house
and he also wants TO see the people
have good roads and bridges. Mr..
Britton says the majority of the
people in his section of the county
will vote for the issuance of bonds.
Mike German. vice-president of the
Guaranty State Bank, says he hopes
very much TO see the bonds voted.
He has figured the matter very care

THE ENCORE HABIT.

Now Sims Reeves Turned the Tables
on One Of His Admirers.
Sims Reeves, who in his day was &C.
cepted as the most celebrated tenor on
the concert stage, was SO much of
favOrite that whenever he sang he was
usually greeted with hearty encore,
accompanied with enthusiastic cheers.
Reeves was very good natured about
the matter, but he made 1t a rule never
to sing more than one selection when
he felt that his voice was not in first
class shape. He happened to notice
that an elderly man, who turned out
to be a dealer In hats along the Strand,
London, attended nearly every concert
within convenient distance II Sims
Reeves happened to be on the bill and
generally led the encore brigade. This
halter was a persistent person and Of
ten applauded until he had forced
Reeves to respond to double and triple
encores.
Determined to teach the little halter
u lesson, one afternoon just as dark
was approaching Reeves entered his
huIulESEB StOTc duu SdlU, OOe nat,
please" naming the particular shape
which he desired. The little halter
didn't recognize the great tenor and
handed out one hat.
Good" said Reeves. How much
Ia this hatY'
give shlllings," said the store pro
prietor.
Encore" said Reeves.
A second hat was forthcoming, and
Reeves ultimately obtained three Ten.
core" hats. When the little halter de-
handed Fl sterling for the purchases
Reeves pretended to be furious.
"Send these four hats to this I'D
Dress ordered the tenor In terrible
tone. "but | only pay for one hat. Do
you understand The three other hats
are encore hats. II you make me sing
songs for nothing you must send me
bats for nothing"
The little halter was speechless.--
