The concrete walk brigade are
busy, and some reaches of good, new
sidewalks bear evidence to their
industry and skill The concrete
brick walks recently laid are some
what of n novelty. The end of the

may be used does not yet appear.
Several new foundations are going
in, which bear with them the prom
Use of much neded buildings. The
largest and most striking is that for
the Christian church, the excavating

contract has been judiciously placed
and the work of construction will be
rushed with urgency peculiar to all
the more recent building operations.

unfinished condition begins TO show
symptoms of DR.. Bailey's ingenuity
and painstaking effort. With the
removing of the scaffolding and the
placing of the approaches the entire
setting of the structure will be great

The pits in the round house stalls
are now well enough advanced to per-
nit the work of filling in to be push

gest chores still to be done is the
setting of the turntable for the big
engines. This bundle of massive
steel girders and braces, is in itself
no toy and will require some nice
engineering to successfully place 1t
on it's new foundations. The main
building is now entirely closed in,
and has been painted all over.

"BUG TRACKS"

We went to Columbus last
week to see how the little
"Johnie" was petting on in the
Columbus Business College. We
found the school in full swing
with Prof. Thornton the super
intendent, in charge and ready
to show us over the school. and
explain how the work is done.
Prof. Joe Cook used to do things
at the Artesia school up in fine
shape, but those teachers at the
business college Have got that
thing. According to the esti-
nation of our present selves if we
had attended such a school as
this, Mr.. Taft would be quite a
lad compared to us.
The little Johnnie" came out
home last Sunday, and as soon
as he landed at Billups, and
reached the gate, he began to
spout shorthand in ever direc-
ton. Thinks we to ourselves:
Well fix you, my by''. So we
had him write a businss letter as
we dictated it, knowing he
couldn't rembmber it's contents,
and to our delight and astonish-
ment, that booger reao those
bug tracks better than we can
read these letters after they get
cold. No, boys you who are not
in attendance get the old man to
let you go as soon as is out, or
as soon as he can spare you from
the crop. We know several boys
and girls who will enter this
school about March the first, and
a number have already got start
ed off January the first, and we
hope to see the school grow and
continue to make our young peo-
pie better prepared to inter the
business world. This is the best
opportunity ever offered the
young people of this section of
the country. and every boy and
girl who can attend should not
miss the opportunity. 1t takes
four or five year to go through
our Dude" colleges and become
proficient in baseball, football,
and toting a war gun, but you
can in three or four months learn
at this school sometl ing that
will fit you for a business ca
reer, that you will be proud of
some day. A Pleased Patron.

General Lee Needs no Defense.

According to the dispatches
from Washington Senator Dan
iel, of Virginia, is preparing a
speech which is to be a reply to
the attack on General Robert E.
Lee made in the Senate by Sena-
tor Heybourn of Idaho a few
days ago. It is to be hoped that
MI. Daniels Democratic collea-
CUES will advise him to ignore
the incident, as a large majority
of the Southern newspapers have
done AS a matter of fact, Gen
eral Lee does not need any de-
tense. His pure, lofty and
knightly character is known of
all men, and his place is secure
among the worlds immortals.
Therefore a defense of Lee
would result merely in advereis-
ing Hepburn and that is what
the pop gun Senator from Idaho
is seeking. He has attacked
greatness for no other purpose
apparently than to attact pu lie
attention to his own miserable
smallness. He should not be
given the notoriety he desires,
but should be ignored entirely
and treated with profound con-
tempt by decent men every
where.
General Lees fame" re-
marks the Richmond News-Lead-
er, sis as far abave and beyond
the reach of such petty malice
and spite and vanity as his lofty
character is above its compre-
tension" This is true. every
word of it, and the truth empha-
sizes the fact that Virginia's
great soldier and splendid gen.
tleman does not need to be de-
Tended by any man. The
worlds. estimation of Lee makes
defamation of his character and
his record impossible.

The Postmaster.
Sir:
In view of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose
coins in boxes by rural patrons
has grown, and the delay in the
delivery al d collection of mail
and the hardship imposed on ru-
raj carriers incident thereto, you
are informed that, commencing
February Is, proximo, rural let
ter carriers will not be required
to collect loose coins from rural
mail boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in
an envelope, wrap them securely
in a piece of paper. or deposit
them in a coin-holding recepta-
Gle, so they can be easily and
quickly taken from boxes, and
carriers will be required to lift
such coins, and, where accompa-
MED by mail for dispatch, attach
the requisite stamps.
This should be promptly an
nounced to the rural patrons
through whatever means you
may employ, without expense to
the Department, and you are at
liberty to give the Information
embodied herein to your local
papers for publication, if they so
desire. Respectfully,
P. V. DEGRAw,

He played no favorites but done

when the Macon Mercantile Co. got

lected in advance for all the boarders
