BECOME INTERESTED
in GOOD ROADS

Citizens of Pocahontas are at
last waking up to the great need of
good public roads leading into town,
and from numerous expressions we
have heard recently relative to this
important matter we believe they
are in earnest to the extent that
they are willing to put up time and
plenty of it to get the work
started and carry demonstration
through to perfection. The Star
Herald has for the last several
months been urging a movement
of some kind whereby start In the
right direction might be made and
we believe that the time is now at
hand when something can and will
be done to better conditions along
this line.
1t has been suggested that the
proposition of first class highway
from PocahoDtas to Maynard be
submitted TO the citizens of the two
towns and those living along the
way and see what can be done
towards getting the work started.
The-rurrirsof- EAR IA-.,Ig WIN soon be
over and people will have plenty of
time to devote to some good road
work.
We have it, on good authority,
that the government will furnish a
practical road man, free of cost to
the citizens, who will come and
render all the needed assistance in
this cork.
ghe Star Herald wonld like to
bar an expression from every tax
payer in Pocahontas and Maynard
as well as the farmers who live
along the road. We all want better
roads and we can have them with
Just little effort. Let us have
your views on the subject.

SOME PROSPECTIVE
COUNTY CANDIDATES

There are several awowed demo
cratic candidates for the different
county offices ana also several pros
pective ones-some who are con-
sldering the matter very seriously,
but who have not made up their
minds fully to enter the race.
The campaign will likely open
in earnest within the next two or
three weeks and by the time circuit
court convenes each Office will be
pretty well represented.
For representative, we under
stand M. R. Armstrong of this city
and II. NJ. Crockett of Maynard
are candidates. We suppose w.
A. Jackson, the present member of
the lower house, will be a candidate
for reelection, although we have
not heard HIM declare his inten-
tions.
For sheriff and collector Hunter
Perrin, the present deputy, will be
a candidate and will be opposed by
A. j. Cole and w. r. Russell.
We understand that Joe II. John
son big 4) is also talking of making
the race, and doubtless number of
others will get in the game before
the campaign is over.
For circuit clerk and recorder
Dee Mock, the present incumbent,
will be opposed by J. A. Parker
and e. N. Forester.
For county and probate clerk
Ben Johnston will be a candidate
for reelection and will likely be
opposed by L. R. Pickett, who was
defeated by Mr.. Johnston in the
last race by less than dozen votes.
For county and probate Judge the
announcement of Prot. G. H. Car
ter of Maynard will appear next
week. Another prospective candl-
date is w. 7. Stubblefeld, ard we
have heard it hinted that Black
Mccoy would probably be in the
race for this Office.
-..Es---ss.s--scrfce of .-s-~sx assesgoi
there will more than likely be sever.
al, however Mason Stacy, o. A
Lemmons and j. G. Bowers are the
only ones whom we have so fal
heard mentioned in connection with
this office.
For treasurer Joe S. Decker OF
this city and Sam Spencer of May
nard will start the ball to rolling.
Other entries will probably be made
during the campaign.

Walks on Train.

Railroad Men and Others Mystisisd--
Walks on Train.
Creston; Aug. 30.-Railroad employees
are greatly mystified over happening
on the st. Joseph branch out OF Cres-
passengers was seen to 60 to the plat
form Of the rear car when the train
was several miles south of Barnard
and suddenly disappeared and despite
the diligent search that has been made
for him ever since, nothing has been
found but his hat.
Several Of the passengers saw the
man walk to the back platform and
even tho he did not return for time
little was thought Of his long stay OH
the outside. However. Just before the
train got to Barnard. one of the pas
sengers remarked to the conductor
about the man, and vestigation re-
vealed the fact that he was no longer,
on the train. An the train had made
no stops from the time he was seen to
walk out Of the car until he was MISS
ed, It is a certainty that he either fell
on or jumped off AS soon as the train
reached Barnard the conductor notified
the proper persons and several men
went south to look for him. The hat
OF the stranger was found several
miles south of Barnard, but the man
was not to- be found anywhere within
a radius Of several miles It was also
thought by some that his head was
hurt and his mind affected and that he
was not competent to take care Of
himself even after he sobered UP.

Child Drinks paris Green.

e Plymouth, Aug. 30.-The 4-year-old
son of ED Sheka, six miles north Of
here, had narrow escape from death
recently. The little fellow had been
playing around out Of. doors. In the
yard stood rain barrel which had
been filled with Paris green to spray
the potatoes and other garden plants.
Most Of the poison had been used but
the rain mad put water in the barrel,
and the little fellow dipped a portion
In q pail and drank it. AS soon as his
parents discovered what the child had
done they brought him into town for
medical attention. Now he is none the
worse for wear.
