Embry Owen had a very unusual
experience Tuesday afternoon. He
and two companions were sailing off
Tarpon Beach and while enjoying the
gentle zephyrs, and not looking for
any visitors, a pompano of tremen-
dous size leaped from the briny
deep and landed in Mr. Owens lap.
Of course. Mr.. Owen was greatly sur
prised at this sudden acquaintance,
and his companions had great difficult
ty in persuading him to remain in the
boat, as his first impulse was to take
to the regions from which the fish
had come.
Strange as it may appear, Mr.. Owen
was not fishing. He was sailing.

Kingsville defeated Corpus Christi
two out of three games last week,
with the assistance of Bob McClintock
and Juni Cobolini of the Brownsville
team. While in Corpus they offered
the team of that place SO for every
score they could make against the
Brownsville team, but were not taken
up.
The Brownsville team is working
hard in preparation for the series
with Somerville Things are going
smoothly, every man being in good
shape. The infield is full of life, and
with McClintock on Bird base, Wicks
short stop, Toles End base and Cobo-
lini on 1st base working the way
they have lately, we can keep up with
the best. Our outfield is hard at
work too Bell, Palm, Merritt, Ko-
WALSH and Gallihar are ali good
stickers and are fielding and throwing
in good form.
Gallihar, who has been playing
with Corpus, has joined the local
team and everyone is glad to see him
back
Toles. who had his ankle injured by
batted ball Thursday, will be in
good shape by Saturday. and is hard
at work with the rest
Our pitchers are as good as ever.
Palm, Merritt, and Taft are going
along nicely. And don't forget the
man behind Griff is good steady
cacher and a good hitter, too.
Manager Cummins was out in IN
form yesterday batting to the infield.
We have some good baseball fans,
and we appreciate any help they give
us in the roofing line A good word
once in a while does a lot of good, !
where a knock does good deal of
harm Stick with US and we viii
give you the best we have.
McClintock covers lots of ground
around that Bird sack
Brownie Wicks has the smile that
won't come off
Cobolini is covering 1st base in
fine style and has his eye on the ball,
too.
Griffith is putting them on the spot
throwing to bases.
Toles covers 2nd base like an old !
timer Nothing too far away for
him to get to. He is leading in stolen
bases and sacrifice hits
Palm gives the outfielders some
practice when he hits them out He |
is sure some hard hitter. Look for |
him to break up some games this
summer
Merritt is getting in fine shape and
when his curves are breaking he is
hard to hit
Taft is good. He has nice break
ball and almost perfect control. He
has been dubbed Bill Taft by DR.. Bell.
sam Bell is as steady as ever Sam
is good hard working ball player, /
and a hitter and a good outfelder.
McCIintock had his hip hurt in the
KingsviIle-Corpus Christi series, but
is out to practice, and his work
doesn't show that he is hurt much.
Dent forget the Somerville games

the farmers began to take more pride
in the appearance of their homes and
Weeds were cut
down, flowers were planted, shade
trades were put out, till finally the
houses were as pretty as the roads.
which are among the most beautiful
in the United States. On the roads
themselves Bermuda grass was plant
ed, which did the double duty of
holding the entertainments and beau
tifying the road Shade trees were
also set out along these roads to
further add to the comfort and pleas
ure of travel. In the near future it
is their intention to plant fruit trees,
such as one sees along all the roads
of central Europe.
Increases Property Value.
Now, Madison county is only one
of the SO counties of the state of
Tennessee and not even one of the
richest of them. Moreover, the roads
were built without state aid or SUI
pervision. What it has done several
of the remaining counties have at
tempted with good results. The farm
ers claim that the rise in value of
their places alone would more than
pay the increased tax. While this
plan is a good one, the people just
over the line get all the benefit from
such roads and do not pay a cent for
their construction. In this respect
the state aid laws are fairer in the
distribution of the tax"

the county would still be ahead $4,000
and the taxpayers would not have
to pay as large tax. OF course, in
the future, say fifteen years from
now, this 100000 would have to
be repaid, but in the meantime the
taxpayers of the county would be
reaping the benefits as result of the
good roads and would be in better
position to take care of the payments.
The following story from the
Spokesman-Review of Sunday is
very pertinent to. the taxpayers of
Chelan county. 1t is as follows:
while the good roads movement
still is young in Washington glance
at what other states in the union are
doing and have already done for good
roads is enlightening and many OBJ
ject lessons of great value can be
gained While the good roads move
ment naturally started in the more
thickly populated districts of the
country it is generally spreading to
all sections
THE United States government has
taken up the movement in the most
scientific manner and is constantly
building exhibition roads as an object
lesson. One object road was built in
Madison county, Tenn. The result was
gratifying to the government engi-
neers. w. p. Butler, the Washington
state highway commissions division
engineer now located in Spokane, is a
native of Madison county and is quail
flied to speak on what was done in
that county. He tells of the work
there as follows:
Object Lesson i'm Good Roads.
In the summer of 1902 the good
roads branch of the department of
agriculture gave the people of Madi-
son county an object lesson in the
building of good roads by construct
ing one mile of macaiamized road
near Jackson. The farmers conven-
ton was in session at the time, but
the members were not very much i'm
pressed with the governments new
tangled ideas" on the subject of road
building, being content to worry along
in the same ruts that their fathers
and grandfathers had stuck in. Their
feeling on the subject was that the
road was very pretty but entirely
useless. But the government engi-
neers kept at their work and finally
completed as fine a mile stretch of
macadamized road as any in the
world.
The convention came to close
and the farmers returned to their
several homes to tell their friends of
the new roads about which they all
had their misgivings.
This mile of road was one of
the most important and greatest trav-
eled roads of the county. During the
remainder of the summer the farm
ers carefully avoided this stretch,
which was so hard on shoes and
stuck to the clay road parallel to the
