UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY
FOR LIVE STOCK GROWERS

Interested parties in this county and
at Nashville are making arrangements
to give the farmers and live stock
growers of this county the unusual op-
portunity on Dec. 8th, 80 p. m, of
listening to addresses on live stock
growing by the most eminent and ca
pable speakers on the subject to be
found either in the State of Tennessee
or the United States Col John
Thompson, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, Nashville, Hon. May Overton.
President of the State Live Stock AS
sociation, Nashville, and DIR. Cooper
Curtice, of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, Washington, d. c., will be

p. Bellah, of the Industrial and Inn
migration Department of the N, G. &

ny the party, and will also deliver an
address,
These addresses will cover all class
es-of live stock, viz, horses, cattle,
mules, sheep, swine, poultry, etc., 4,
and no farmer in this county who is

Shall We Have MaCadam Roads?

The old idea that to have an improv-
ed road you must necessarily have ma
cadam is now thoroughly out of date.
DR.. j. Il. Pratt who has done such a
great work in planning the proposed
system of improved roads for our Pied
mont and mountain counties, says that
about the greatest difficulty encounter
ed has been the idea that to get i'm
proved roads they must be macadam,
costing s., 900 to $1,000 a mile. On
the contrary, he has told them that
macadam is not the thing for them,
that any road graded. drained, and
surfaced is a good road, and even with
their steep grades, splendid gravel OF
sand clay roads can be made at from
81, 800 to s., 500 a mile. For the av-
erage county a $500, 900 bond issue il
certainly better spent for 100 TO 2OC
miles of first class sand clay or gravel
road than for fifty miles of macadam.

Regarding High School.

Laconia, N. H., Nov. 81, '09.
Editors News:
1t seems to be the prevailing opinion
in your community that the owners of
the sold Hotel Buildings and Lot"
stand ready to donate the same to the
county for High School purposes.
AS the location of such a school is
matter of the highest Importance to
the public, and as you are Jealous ad-
vocates of all that tends to promote
the educational interests of your coun-
ty, l take it for granted that you will
allow me space in your paper to ex-
plain the situation, as see it.
We are non residents, looking after
our land interests for time The cit
izens of the county know best its
needs. They are to act not only for
themselves and their children but for
future generations. 1t is not seeming
for us to be the initiators. But the
time has come for action, for holding
public meetings for discussion, for for
mulating plans, for determining what
is for the best interests of the County.
When this is done if Sequachee is chos-
en-, as / think it will be, on account
of the unsurpassed inducements it can
offer, then we will be ready to donate
a site and to cooperate with others in
raising the necessary funds. In my
opinion, the building should be Of
brick or stone and cement, and fitted
up with modern improvements, and SC
| located as to meet all sanitary require.
ments, especially as to pure air, pure
water and good drainage. Nothing
can be accomplished by sitting quietly
with folded arms and wondering why
the Company does not go ahead. II
is not fair for us to do it all nor should
it be expected.
I regret that l shall not be able to g
to Sequachee this coming winter, bu
our local agent, Mr.. Sherman, will
gladly unite with his fellow citizens
in efforts to promote the common
good.
Assuring you again of our readiness
to cooperate in the good work, an

Yankee Consolation.

The Vermont farm had been worn
out, SO the New Englander and his
wife took up homestead in Oklaho-

prospered. At last, however, age came
heavily upon the wife, and, knowing
that her time was not long, she called
her husband to her side.

Reuben pulled his whiskers refec-
lively. "That would cost lot, Mary
could buy that windmill for what
that would COST" he said.
"But couldn't lie still in a grave

system will be installed and the brick
work for air channels has been COM
pleted. Room has also been left for
large supply of coal, and cement
floor has been made.
1t is the intention Of the Board to
make the opening day of school in the
new building, which will occur some
time in January next, the occasion OF
a general rally day in the interest Of
education. A large number OF edu-
Gators will be invited to be present
and make speeches, and everything
will be done to arouse interest in edu-
cation in the section. Mr.. Dykes is a
firm believer in the education of not
only children but people, and thinks it
would be we'll to take advantage of
the occasion to make it an object les
son to the people to further the cause
of education. Hence, he is working to
make the occasion something more
than school opening, which is very
important thing in itself, but also
something in the nature of an educa-
tional celebration for the people OF
Whitwell and surrounding country.

HELD HIM UP
Station Agent at Ladd's Switch
Robbed at Point of Pistol

A young white man, claimed by his
friends to be deranged, did a Jesse
James stunt on Station Agent Minter
at Ladd's Switch Tuesday evening of
last week. He approached Minter as
he was some distance from his office at
dusk, and holding his right hand con-
cealed in his coat as though he had a
pistol, demanded $5. This Minter
gave him, and encouraged by this he
asked for 50 more, and as Minter ac-
commodated him again demanded an
other dollar, or IS in all. The pecu-
liar part of the performance was that
the thief would not receive it from
Minter himself, but forced friend of
Minter, who was with him to receive
it and then hand it to him. He then
fled to camp at Hale's Bar, where the
Lock and Dam force is working, but
later was arrested and taken to Jail at
Jasper by Sheriff Westmoreland. The
$S was found on his person and re-
stored to Minter.
