franks high as a moral and peace

The backbone of Clear Branch
community has erected modern
church house of spacious dimen-
sions, with incline floor and stee-
pie. The new building is about
800 yards north of the old site, and
on higher ground.
Having been solicited by a num-
ber of good citizens to run for
office, we have decidedly decid-
ed not to do so. We don't care to
be "cussed" at.

Some of the much abused negroes

Some folks are badly in need of
a little experience in 'butting' up
against the world. They've always
been use to the same "old way"
and when they happen to butt
up against someone of sound busi-
ness methods, they think he is
'ding'd curious"
We are gradually whitening

According to the Commercial
Appeal Oracle, there were in 1909.
8O,000 'automodevils'' manufac-
tured in the United States. OF
the 80, 900, $4,000 were built for
pleasure cars. The value Of the
outfit was estimated at $l35, ,000,- :
600, which was 81, 1000, 900 more
than the value of the outfit for
1908. The number of firms engag-
ed in manufacturing these ''loud
smelling" things were about 300,
and they boldly claim that the
number Of cars during this year,
1910, will reach It's. 900. Now you
can see why there is such a thus
tie" on the part of some for good
roads" Will some folks never
quit swallowing sugar coated"
talk and go to thinking for them
selves? Policy sticks out too
plainly on this good roads question.
and we stand armed and ready to
prove it if any white shirt or
his 'funky' undertakes to deny
that there is no policy figuring in
the question, outside of mutual
benefit.
