over by Justice Dye on charges OF
running away mortgaged property,
grand larceny, and obtaining money
under false pretenses, has been re-
leased from the Jail here.

Complains About Roads.
EDITOR PROMOTER:

EDITOR TMEs-PRoMoTER:
1t is not pleasant to be regarded as
a kicker, - but am decidedly of the
opinion that it is high time some high
old kicking was done respecting our
public roads. A. great many people
are "cussing" privately, and some in
groups, but it is time the whole peo-
pie were seriously considering wheth-
er we are to continue to pay big
road tax, and, in many localities at
least, get next to nothing for it.
II I understand Alright we are now
paying $35 mile for all the roads,
and only one-twelfth of them to be
worked each quarter. Where that
twelfth is in our neck of the woods,
or even the patching, dog if know.
! am convinced, by little expert
ence, that one can take two-horse
plow, pond digger scraper, split
log drag and a good pair Of mules and
put the average mile of DeSoto coun-
ty road in contract shape and keep
it SO for term of three years, at the
price, or less, than we row pay and
make good money at it. If that is
true, and / am sure it is, we ought to
have them worked and not be three
years at it. No man should be al
lowed to contract for more road than
he can work in one year; for, before
three years are gone, several of the
first twelfth will be in bad condition,
If indeed they are ever any other
way. In our locality, notwithstand-

Southern Banquet for Taft.

The banquet on this occasion was a
triumph of Southern hospitality. The
tables were arranged to form the
1stripes of the Flag, and many brill
liant phrase and jest were exchanged
across their snowy coverings while
the Taft smile proved infectious.
At the thrilling moment when the
judge entered, the chivalry of the
South was at it's best: the guests
sprang to their feet, waving their
napkins, and applauding Justify. Then
the "possum ana taters and 'simmon
beer'' were announced to the stirring
strains of Georgia Campmeeting."
The 'possum dressed whole, was
haughtily borne aloft by veteran
colored waiter, pompous with his re-
sponsibility. Gregg, the cartoonist,
who was a guest, elected Billy Pos

"Teddy Bear.'' Following the pcs
sum, came fagon Of persimmon

the occasion was expressed BY Judge

that were full last year are empty
and the crowds are not so large, ex-
cept at the races, and in the midway
the fakirs are overwhelmingly in evi-
dence. The exhibits embrace great
many bushels of the largest and
coarsest sweet potatoes, pumpkins,
turnips and cabbage that / ever saw;
car loads of celery, cassava, Irish po-
tatoes, other vegetables and straw
berries are in abundance and are very
fine. Some fine corn and good show
of hay. The beggar weed is their
main hay, butt saw few bales of
alfalfa and pea vines. They raise a
good deal of !cassava for man and
beast. 1t produces an immense guam
tity of roots, which are fed to cows

they make good pudding of it, too,

Wind Wrecks Church.

Several negroes were injured when
a negro church, called Sunrise, col
lapsed last Tuesday as result of high
wind. The church is located five
miles west of fernando and ON the
above named day number of negroes
had congregated to dig grave. Just,
after 12 o'clock rain came on and
the negroes took refuge in the church
and while in there severe gust
wind caused the building to collapse.
Five negroes were injured pretty
seriously and two or three more sus-
tanned bruises. Those most seriously
injured were: Henry Malone, a SER
ious scalp wound and broken leg;
Will Malone, scalp wound and sundry
bruises; Sherman Mcdaniel and Par
ker Allen, bruises and abrasions; Sam
White, hip dislocated.
DIR. w. s. Weissinger was hastily
summoned and later DR.. A. j. Weis-
singer and both were busy for sew
eral hours attending the wounded.
The church was new building, in
fact not completed, but was evidently
not well constructed as no other
buildings in the neighborhood were
damaged.
