The county of Copiah is preparing to
join the good roads movement and the
tax payers of the first district, which
includes the town of Hazlehurst, will pre-
sent a petition to the board of supervisors
at the August meeting asking bond
issue of 100000. There is no opposition
so far in evidence. Judging from move
ments that have been launched in many
of the counties indications are that bonds
in the sum of not less than 100000 will
be issued in Mississippi this year for the
purpose Of building good roads.

Don't grumble. The most unfortunate
class of people living upon this green
earth are the grumblers. They rob home
of its joys, society of its dues, and them
selves of the best things Of life. From
the days the children of Israel "grum-
bled" and were sent on their tedious
wanderings "for forty years in the wilder
ness" up to the present hour the world
has been full of grumblers. "Too hot
or 'too cold" ''too wet" or too dry"
People in reasonable circumstances have
visions of the poor house, while the rich
grumble that they can't get rich faster.
