The Gazette funny man says its bad manners to go into a mans house and use his toothbrush. Now who'd a thunk 1t? Next time we want to use some other fellows toothbrush we'll just step out doors. That guy is going to get so consamed particular about man ners that he'll be wanting us newspaper fellers to wear socks and cut off our finger nails.

enter the race for railroad commits sioner in the approaching pri- maries. MT. Surridge was in the race two years ago and was defeat ed by a very close vote. It is said that there was some very crooked politics played in this race during the last campaign by parties who desired to see Surridge defeated. If this be true the matter should be brought to light.

4 GOOD ROADS PROPHECY

The people of Tennessee will build a first class macadam high way from Bristol to Memphis, the legislature, at the suggestion of Governor Hooper, having provided for state aid for the enterprise, and the route for the road IS now be- ing laid out. Bristolis in the north eastern portion of the state on the line between that state and Virgin ia, and the road will traverse the state from northeast to southwest.
 In Eastern Arkansas there is a movement on foot to build a first class highway from Memphis to Augusta, and considerable work has already been done on the road in some counties. Here we have on foot the Batesville-Newport high way and considerable work was done on 1t last summer. It IS only a short distance from Newport to Augusta, and sooner or later a good road will be built between those towns. This will give us a direct line of good roads from Batesville to Bristol, Va. Newark is directly on the route and the road is coming. This may seem a little visionary to some folks, but in a few years from now a citizen of Newark can get in his auto, in his farm wagon or buggy, or aStride Old Beck and drive right 1 into the National Capital over one continuous line of frstclass macadam highway.
 There IS no public improvement that pays better dividends than good roads, and Newark and this section of country is right in line for some extraordinary benefits.
 But 1t Is actual work that counts and its time to do something. Isn't there some good practical man in this county who will take the lead in this movement?
 Its an important matter and means much to our country.

 However, it seems to be lacking in one particular
 Ne learn from said report that the sum of $3,46284 was paid into the treasury by county officers during the fiscal year as overplus on fees and commissions, but We are not informed as to what amount is paid by each officer. In this way We ean'tteiI who is mak- iHg the best sho~ings, and who is making the poorest, if such be the case
 Ne are going to ask The Jour nal to get the figures, showing how much each officer turned over tc this fund, and we hope the clerk will in the future include this in his report. Its good information.

Battle With A Boar

While driving boar which he had
bought from a neighbor to his home,
one day last week, Frank J. McCleary,
a well known farmer OF the Fourth
district, was attacked by the animal.
He tried to beat it off with stick he
carried, but the boar threw him off
his feet and began ripping his cloth
ing with its tusks. Mr.. McCleary
was compellc dto use his fists and
was bitten by the enraged beast Luck
i.y John Quein and Elmer Janney,
who witnessed the beginning OF the
battle, came to Mr.. McCleary's aid
and beat off the boar with sticks and
stones. But for their timelv help Mr..
McCleary might have been fatally in
jured and as it was had an unpleasant
ly close cali. Benjamin Holt, OF the
Union Church section, had a similar
experience with boar he was about
to put in pen, c<rly last month,
when a colored hand came to his aid
and beat off the boar with a pitch
fork.

Fire, which started in the drying
room, probably from heated journal
or bearing, shortly after midnight last
Friday. destroyed the Harlan binder
board mill, on the Little Elk, near
Leeds. The fire spread rapidlv despite
the hard fight made by the night force
and soon gutted the interior of the
three story stone structure. The mill
was one of the Oldest on the Little
Elk and more than fifty years was
operated by members Of the Harlan
family. For several years past Thos
B. Miller, Register of Wills, had man
aged the plant. which was run sue
cessSllly. 1t employed upwards OF
fifteen hands, and its stoppaqe will be
felt in the nearby community. The
mill was well equipped and the des-
truction OF it's machinery together
with large amount of raw stock and
about forty tons OF finished product,
swells the loss, which may reach SIS
600, with partial insurance. Whether
the mill will be rebuilt has not yet
been determined.
