vile district. The main opposition
would appear to be in Jeffersonville
district, and chiefly in this town, if
the protest is criterion. Now, why
should we of this district butt in and
try to defeat the very object of an
agreed upon district bond issue? 1t is
understood, of course, that Clear
Fork district will spend this money
to the best advantage on the country
roads and not town streets and grano-
lithic sidewalks in the town of Gra-
ham and Pocahontas, or otherwise
than in building highways in the
county for the benefit of the entire
country. Then, it would seem to be
the right thing for other districts to
keep "hands off" and not do the" dog
in the manger" stunt.

Buying Horses

Mr.. Dudley Brown, of Knoxville,
Tenn. was here several days this
week, buying horses. How many he
secured is not known. When last
questioned he said that if he bought
the one he was looking at and two
more he would have three. However,
he bought several nice ones before he
left, and contracted for number of
others. Mr.. Brown said to a represen-
tative of this paper that Tennessee is
entirely committed, MS most other
states are, to the bond issue plan of
building roads.

Citing up the Roads

Commemorative Attorney Crockett
returned last night from Cedar Bluff,
whore he went to investigate the con-
dition of the county road up Indian
Creek, which is extensively used now
by the numerous contractors who are
building the new railroad. The citi-
zens of the community had complain
cd that the heavy hauling over this
road was damaging it to such an ex-
that it was becoming almost impas-
sible. An agreement was entered in,
to between the Commonwealth At
torney and the contractors whereby
the latter are to keep the road in
good condition as long as they are
using it. Several dozen teams, many
of which are heavily loaded, use this
road daily in carrying supplies from
the depot at Cedar Bluff to the va.
rious operations on the Creek.

cult to get. Enough seed were put
down, but in places they seemed to
have failed to catch. And then, where
the corn shocks stood there is no all
falfa. This make the patch look rag
ged. These bare places will all be
raked and reseeded. So, hold your
fire until the grass is given fair
chance. 1t will givea good account
of itself. Sowing alfalfa in corn is
not the best plan, and should not be
done if it can be avoided. 1t is best
to prepare the ground thoroughly and
sow the seed alone. Just across the
fence from this alfalfa, is red clo-
yer, which was sown last fall at
last plowing of the corn, about the
same time the crimson clover and al
falfa were sown on this side. A COM
parison of the two growth of the two
crops is easy. Watch the alfalfa
grow.

Eventually, Why Not Nowp"

This is the motto of the bond issue
man! He admits that the pay plan
will build the good roads eventual
ly," but not soon enough for him,
who must have ,he roads "now,' at
once. regardless of costl
The bond 'ssue men are opposed to
pay plan, which will build the 120
miles of macadam proposed in ten
years, at the same rate of taxation
that the bond issue would require.
The pay plan is too slow for Mr..
Bond Man He is in great hurry |
He wants the county bonded for
$6250, 90 at once, and the money
spent just as quickly as it can be
dished out to the contractor and for
eign laborer and get the roads done
"now.' Common reason will tell any
man that the bond issue plan cannot
possibly build the roads in less than
five years, whereas the pay plan can
do il in ten years, and the difference
in cost is close to one million dollars
Now, Mr.. Bond Man, don't you think
that is a very high price to pay for
the privilege of getting the use of
one half Of the road, sixty miles, five
years sooner than you would under
the pay plan? For our part, we would
prefer the motto: Good Roads in
Ten Years And Save Million -

WEDDING WAYS IN IRELAND
Professional Matchmakers Usually
Fix Up the Deal with
Parents.

Just now in rural Ireland many a newly
wed couple is settling down to domestic
bliss, for the last few days before Lent
is the great time for the professional
matchmaker. Mrs Katherine lyman in
the Young Woman, gives delightful ac-
count OF how 1t all happens:
That matchmaker is the go-between.
There are professional matchmakers whose
duties are easy for all the year except in
the weeks Immediately preceding Lent.
Just as often 1t is a friend of the man
who has a boy to marry or a girl to be
married. The matchmaking is matter
of-fact business arrangement. 1t is a duel
to the death between the respective
fathers, who win sit grirnly facing each
other across a table with decanters and
glasses upon it. 1t is the business of the
boys father to exact as much as he can
in the way of dowry, and when the money
question has been settled there is still the
question Of live stock and household gear

sufferings they have endured in their long
wanderings, the end OF which still appears
so far away. AS the beautiful music dies
away the inspiring summons OF Peter the
Hermit Is heard, leading up 20 the Cru
sader's song-a vigorous warlike melody
full Of manly hope and religious fervor
An evening prayer of pious longing and
exalted devotion closes this part.
The second part is entitled "Armida" and
introduces the evil genius of the scene. A
strange, mysterious prelude indicates the
baneful magic of the soroerer's wiles In
remarkably expressive aria Armida de-
plones her weakness in trying to overcome
the power OF the cross. AS she sees Ri
naldo. who has left his tent to wander for
time in the night air, she calls to the
spirits to obey her incarnation.

After another invocation of the spirits
the sirens appear singing a sensuous mel

ton of the wandering knight. He starts
in surprise as he hears the voices rising
from the waves. and again they chant their
alluring song. They are followed by Ar

strain cob, Rinaldo, come to never-ending
bliss'D. The Knight joins with her in a
duet Of melodious beauty. He is about to
yield to the temptation when he hears In
the distance the tones OF the Crusaders
song. He wavers in his resolution, Armida
and the sirens appeal to him again, and
again he turns as If he would follow them.
The Crusaders song grows louder and
rouses the knight from the spell which has
been cast about him, and the scene closes
with a beautifully concerted number, in
which Rinaldo, Armida, the chorus of Cru
saders and Of sirens contend for the mas
terry. The fascination of the Crusader s
song is the strongest. The cross triumphs
over the sorceress and in despair she sings:
Sink, scenes Elusive. deep in dark abyss
of doom!
The light of day Is turned to blackesl
night of gloom"
The third part entitled Jerusalem" is
religious in character, and mostly choral.
In rapid succession follow the morning
hymn, the march of the pilgrims, full of
highest exultation; the hermit's revelation
Of the Holy City to them, their joyous
greeting to 1t, Rinaldo's resolution TO ex-
plate his offence by his vslor the hermits

BILL AT oRPHEUM THIS WEEK
Good List of Acts Scheduled for
the Popular Vaudeville
Playhouse.

Miss Fannie Ward, one of the most sue
cessful of the younger of English act
resses, will appear at the Orpheum for the
week starting matinee today in her latest
one-act playlet, IAN Unlucky Star" writ
ten by Roy Cooper McGrue. Miss Ward
will be accompanied by a company of met
ropolitan players. Miss Ward, who hap
pens to be the widow of Sam Lewis, the
famous London multi-milionaire, is re-
garded as versatile, charming and clever.
The story of her playlet has to do with the
ups and downs Of an actress. The sketch
turns from the serious to the humorous
in twinkling. Jack Standing is a member
Of Miss Wards supporting company.
Charles B. Lawlor and daughters, Mabel
and Alice, have a vocal character sketch
entitled Might and Day on the Sidewalks
of New York." in which affords father
and daughters an opportunity to offer a
number of representations Ben Welch is
well known for his characterizations. He
comes with new songs and jokes, and it is
promised for him that he evokes a series
of hearty laughs Hugh Lloyd, assisted
by Florence Lloyd, will offer something
quite out of the ordinary in the way OF
tight rope antics. His somersaults and
FRANKS on the rope are thrilling.
Nine Vallecita and her trained leopards
has been one of the most successful ami
NAL acts of the season. This intrepid wo-
man is said to be the only woman who
has not only subjected leopards but has
trained these ferocious beasts of the jungle.
The children everywhere have been de-
lighted with this act and the grownups
have found unusual interest in the exhibit
ton. Davis and Walker offer a singing
and dancing act they refer to as "A Dane
ing Lesson" Gregoria and Ell Nina viii
offer their new European novelty act, in
which some bright comedy is a feature,
New kinodrome views and the Orpheum
concert orchestra as usual
