hnal arrangements of the sale were completed during tho afternoon.
 The money derived from the sale of the bonds will be- devoted to road and bridge work. in the extension of the improved roads, the running repair work of the system. and the construc- ton of bridges.
 One of the ventures which will be decided on. as the result of the sale of bonds is the erection of an immense concrete bridge on the Norman Bridge Road. 'The construction of this bridge had been authofized some time ago. but was forsgons because of the lack of money.
 And no longer will the petitioners for roads and for Improvements be turn. ed away from the Board meeting by the plea of no money.
 Already the Board has undertaken work on roads. letting a contract at the meeting yesterday for repairing and graveling the Plank Road and the Norman Bridge Road. in spots where the highway had been torn. The bid of Roquemore q Hall, at $l,200, was accepted for the work.

NO NEWS FROM BOY
osU. ETREE LAD HAS NOT BEEs
 HEARD FROM.
IT T. stated That Several of the Miss' ing Youth's Companions Had Contemplated . Trip From
 Montgomery.

Jobnnie OgIetree, the 11-year-oid how who ran away from his home. ' Wade street, last Wednesday evening" has not been heard from since. Some nersons have written his mother they saw a small boy walking along the Mobile road but as this information IS rather indefinite 1t has not done much good in the search.
 Jnouiries In the neighborhood have brought to light the fact that there were half dozen small boys' wno were contemplating emigration to parts later to be decided on, but the first ston was to be Mobile. Johnne was a member of these and seems the only one who had the courage of his con- victions.
 Mrs. Ogletree called on Mayor Teague yesterday afternoon and asked him to lend his help in the search and the mayor promised to do all he could. Mrs. Ogletree told the mayor that John nie was usually a good little boy, very industrious and that she could assign no reason for his leaving save an ad- venturous spirit.
 That Johnnie is heading southward is known, for he told several of the other boys who were contemplating the trip that he was going to Mobile.
 The police believe that when he is found, he will not be much further South than Fort Deposit. but may have gotten lift and gone as far as Green vile. These places have been inform ed of the direction taken by the little fellow and the authorities there have been asked to look for him.
 Johnnie's father Is James P. Ogle- tree, who travels for the United Broth erhood of Carpenters and Joiners, and at present is in Memphis. He has been notified of the step taken by the boy and may take & trip southward in or der to catch the wanderer.
