BODY WAS FOUND
 R|DDLED WITHSH0T DAVE BARTLETT KILLED
MISSING SINCE SUNDAY NIGHT BODY FOUND BY HIS
 SON TODAY.

Martinville, Nov. 9.-Riddled with buckshot, the body of David Bartlett, who was missing from his home since Sunday night, was found by his young son early today, lyNlg on an old trail about one-half mile from his house and about 150 yards from the house of negro named Crockett Dooley.
 Bartlett was evidently killed soon after leaving home. One of the shots went through his watch, stopping it at 10 o'clock, and this is supposed to be the hour Sunday night that he re- ceived the fatal wound, as the negroes living near by state that they heard shots at that time.
 Bartlett is known to have had trouble with some of his neighbors re- gently, and suspicion rests upon some of those with whom he was at outs, although no arrests have as yet been made. Bartlett was about 60 years of age. He was of a rather quarrel some disposition and never left home without carrying his rifle with him.
 He left home Sunday night, carry ing his gun as usual, but his family state that he did not say where he was going. As he did not return yester- day, his family began to search for him, and one of his youngest sons dis covered the body early this morning The negroes state that they heard five shots, followed after an interval by three other shots. One empty shell was found in Bartlett's gun and the bullet from it was found in the root of a tree The charges of buckshot

Fayetteville, Nov. 9-At the age of 83 years, J. R. Cato is running and doing active work therein, the same blacksmith shop he established in Washington county 62 years ago this spring.
 There are scores of gray-bearded men in Washington county today who as boys drove many miles to the lit tie shop at Cato's spring to have their blows sharpened, for Cato was an ar list.
 An interesting fact connected with his family history is that he has II grandchildren whose parents were deaf mutes, but not one of them is similarly afflicted.

kick. Ouachitas line bucks carried the ball over the Hendrix goal for d touchdown. After having scored in the fast half, Hendrix adopted punt ing in the hope of keeping the visitors from crossing their goal, and their principal gains were made in this way, as Hendrix's fast ends usually downed Ouachita's receiver in his tracks. Ouachitas trick plays re- suited disastrously to them and the three times they were attempted the play was blockd, once resulting in a Hendrix touchdown.

appointment as additional federal
judge for the Western district of
Washington. More than three
weeks ago Mr.. Taft expressed a
desire to appoint Mr.. Hughes, and
his expression was entirely volun-

during the year from mud roads fairly
he can readily see that such tax would
be economical in the end Averaging
the assessments for Mississippi coun-
ties. it would not exceed $500 for the
eighty acres. The largest amount
named, three mills, would only be Sl.50
on his land. The saving on four bales
of cotton hauled to market would be
one-third of this amount. And the cot
ton would be only small portion of
the use to which he could put the roads.
Taking into consideration the saving to
vehicles, harness, stock, etc, it would
mean many times the tax paid by the
man with eighty, or any other number
of acres.
As general proposition, two bales OF
cotton, or its equivalent of one thousand
pounds, is an average for two mules
with the present condition of our roads.
With ordinary roads, such as is hoped
for during the next few years, two mules
could pull four bales of cotton, or its
equivalent of two thousand pounds. The

The Economy of Better Roads.

The campaign for better roads" in
Mississippi involves an economic propo-
sition of gigantic proportions. Roads of
any character are money-savers, and
good roads" take their proper place in
the list of institutions that make coun-
try more prosperous and happy. TO the
old saying that "a community can be
safely judged by its schools and
churches" roads can now be added as one
of the evidences of thrift and intelli-
genee. The three go hand in hand.
Schools educate and demand the best in
a way of conveniences and roads are of
the most important of these.
Thousands of years ago, even before
the advent of our Savior into the world,
roads were constructed and maintained,
some of these being good even to this
day Solomon was road builder and
employed methods that could be imi-
tatcd at this time, if known, to advan-
tage. For permanently, the road con-
struction of that era was remarkable

with the idea of practical and physical
improvement which is inculcated and
urged by the School Improvement Asso-
citation. 1t is intended to pursue the sub
ject by personal visits to the superin-
tendents, their schools and principals,
and by sending out timely literature,
and it is hoped by this means to secure
the interest of every member of the
