AVERA.

Avera, Miss, July Oath 191G.-As
no body seems interested enough to
give their views concerning the road
law except one from Ball, will write
a few lines again. 1t seems from
reading the Herald that al! thought
and interest for roads and God is
lost for B. P. Harrison i'll some parts
of the county, but will say in all due
respect to Mr.. B. P, that l have
not. | guess Mr.. Harrison is a COM
petent man but thanks to our good
stars he isn't all the one in the race
that is grand and noble, but will say
aS'I said before that if the overseers
and hands would do their duty we
could have good roads.
Our overseers and hands did three
days work on our road last week
and we al met together and enjoyed
each others company and had good
time and done good work and put
the 70 I'd in good condition and no
body missed the time us everybody
is through with their crops.
1t is a great deal better and cheap
err to work the old way but will say
if the Board of Supervisors ever in
tends to have the roads worked by
contract | dom care now soon they
put the contract system in force as
we don't feel like putting q road in
good fix and then have to pay a
h ANY road tax.
The protracted meeting that was
set for the 1st Sunday at Avera
Church is postponed till d later date.
The time is not set yet on account of
50 much rain.
Crops are very sorry in this SEC
ton of country.
The barbecue at County Line the
22nd was nice; everybody seemed to
enjoy themselves. There was plenty
of fine watermelons there and fine
barbecued meat. There was no fight
ing nor nobody seemed nor looked
like they wanted 10 fight.
Mr.. Hoogterp how is the rabbits
getting along? Do they still walk "a
round your fence and peep through
the cracks. | hope they have got
tired and retired to their old quar-
erS.
There has been a considerable
scare about smallpox through this
part of the country which has caused
w. W. Avera to close his store doors
while there has not been a case near
er than 25 miles.
Love to the Editor and everybody
else.

Made Destitute By Drink.

OF nearly ESQ private charitable
organizations in Boston, thirty alone
spent, in 1906, nearly 100000 in
efforts to relieve distress of various
kinds. Using the most conservative
estimates, not far from 100000 of
this money went to take care of the
results of the use of alcohol, and of
this amount, about $15O,O00 was
used alone in caring for children
made destitute or abused by drink.

The Tunnel Through the Andes.

Once and for all, let 1T be understood
that the South American-the Mexican
the Central American-is a foe not
to be despised-
Nor is he a business competitor to
be fooled with.
South America, with it's population
of 100000, Mexico with its nearly
$4,000 OOO the Central American re-
ptlblics represent an aggregate of over
10000 600 of human beings.
Cities like Buenos Ayres. with its
over a million population-300,0 900 more
than Lfverpool-Rio de Janeiro with its
500 10000, 900 more than Manchester
are rnarts which force themselves to
the front in the reckoning with any
commercial centers of the world.
Once infuse this colossal body with
the propa ganda of unincat1on-let IL
once apply in any comprehensive sense
the maxim that in union is strength,
and you have confederation mex
pugnable on it's own ground, and with
aggressive possibilities of immeasure-
able import.
And there is no doubt that slowly,
with many lapses but with general
movement palpably manffesting Itself.
this idea is taking root.
The Andes tunnel constitutes ma
teriaI focal point-a rallying center
which Latin America has hitherto
lacked We have had striking crys-
talization of the consolidation idea, by
the recent plan for the unification of
Central America.-Kate Burr in Nor

Birds Blinded to Make Them Sing
Better

The magistrate at Lambeth police
court has sentenced Frederick Collins,
a laborer of Sultan street, Gambler
we'll, to three months hard labor for
cruelty to two chaffinches by binding
them, reports The London Mail.
S. G. PolhiI, who prosecuted on be-
half of the Royal society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals, said that
the practice of binding was resorted
to because birds so dealt with were
supposed to become better songsters or
warblers. He was sorry to say the
practice had been going on for many
years, but in such secrecy that this was
the first occasion upon which the So
city had been in a position to prose-
cute.
The operation was carried out with
a needle, and was done skilfully-, so as
not to burst the eyeball. The birds
adapted themselves to their blind state
in a wonderful way They fed and
found their water and jumped about
the cage.
Arthur Wilmot, one of the society,"
inspectors. produced the two blind birds
in court. He purchased them from the
prisoner at his house where one room
was full of birds, at least ten of whom
were blinded chaffinches. The prisoner
said he himself had blinded them, but
that blinded" was a dangerous word
to use, because if he were given away

Zone day an unannounced caller who

was long and his clothes were shabby
and untidy. He had a roll of papers
in his hand. Payn, surmising a poet
and an epic several thousand lines
long, looked up.

Payn imperturbably-
THE caller retreated with a wither-

same roof as the Cornhill was the Of

and it was this that the caller sought
for the disposal of a treatise on those
