DISTRICT COURT
CLOSES TOMORROW
CRIMINAL DOCKET WILL BE TAX
EN- UP ON THE 18TH DAY OF
MARCH.

After the session of the district
court tomorrow, it will be adjourned
until the 18th of the present month,
at which time the criminal docket
will be taken UP and disposed of.
There are but nine cases to be
disposed of, and the term is set for
three days. The most important Of
these cases is that of A. Washmood
for murder. 1t will be remembered
that this man was tried and the
jury returned verdict of guilty, as
sessing the extreme penalty, death;
but presiding Judge Huston set
aside the verdict and granted a new
trial This is the first case on the
docket and it is more than probable
that it will consume all three days Of
the session. Buck Williams is to be
tried for murder at this term. The
remainder of the cases consist of
burglary, grand larceny and assault

The love for planting and nurtur-
ing and growing things is elevating
and inspiring. The man or woman
who is interested in trees, flowers
and shrubbery and "a the beautifying
of the city and home is almost al.
ways a person of fine sensibilties
and right intentions. But planting
things does more than ennoble, it
adds to the financial value as we'll.
Woman, who is recognized every
where as the helpmeet and preserv-
er of the home, can be of further
assistance to her husband in making
more beautiful the surroundings of
the cottage or the palatial mansion
that is the home nest.
Contact with Mother Earth out in
Gods pure air gives woman a new
lease of life; it keeps her temper
sweet, and irritability knows her not
Thus she is not only a helpmeet in
the truest sense, but she does JUS
tice to herself, to her children and
to her home in preserving her
strength, her vitality and her beau
ty. Too strong emphasis cannot be
laid upon the value of improving the
home and city.
Deep in the heart of everyone
lies the God-givan affection for
growing things. Beautify the home
and city grounds, and thus beautify
life.

CARTER COUNTY
GOOD ROADS
TRAVEL MADE EASY SINCE PRE-
CINCT BOARD OF COMMlS SSlON-
ERS ASSUMED CHARGE.

The traveller who makes the terri
tory west of the city and the farmers
who reside in the western part of the
county and sell their produce in Ard
more, certainly appreciate the improv-
ed condition of the roads since the
advent of statehood.
Instead of the trails that served as
highways, and diverging through field
.and wood, winding about like ser
pent in distress, the roads are now
on the section lines and are rapidly
becoming worn down so that travel in
this direction is a pleasure rather than
task
The bridges across the creeks in
this county are a credit to the board
of county commissioners, for the most
part of steel, and erected in pains
taking manner. Mr.. Whitson who had
charge of this work has had many
years experience in the erection OF
wood and steel bridges, and every job
under his supervision has been well
done.
Truly Carter county is to be con
graduated upon the improved condi'
ton of its roads and bridges.
