The announcement in the last is
sue of The News of a movement
for a new highway from West
Georgia to Pensacola, Fla, has at
tracted much attention and many as
surances of cooperation have been
given by towns along the route.
The proposed road would branch

by way of Columbus, Cusseta, Rich

already proposed a highway from

and cambridge to Tallahassee. That
town, however, is open to the consid-

on the part of the people along this
route will secure it's adoption.
Columbus Is Interested.
Both of the Columbus papers have
made favorable mention of the move

Grand Jury May Endorse 1t.
1t is believed that the Terrell coun-
ty grand jury, now in session, will
endorse the proposed highway and
urge the cooperation of the road of
fiCials
This road, if built, will be of in
calculable benefit to this section,
and the peoplcof Terrell will stand
in the way of their own progress if
they do not get behind the efforts
that are being made to bring it
through this county 1t is almost
certain that it would be largely used
by tourists over the national high
way, and prove to be one of the best
advertisements this section could
have.
It's Now or Never.
If the people here sit quietly by
and in their indifference let the
Cuthbert route be adopted Terrell
county will never have another OPP
portuDity to secure a highway. With
the Columbus-Ta road a
few miles to the west of us and the
Andersonville-Th omasville road a
few miles to the east there would
not be even possibility Of it.

worth a great deal from an advertis-
ing standpoint, but would be a val

OUR LIGHT PLANT
he Last $1,000 Note Was
Paid Last Week. Plant
Paid For in Full

1t is gratifying TO the citizens to
know that the last payment has been
made on the light plant. ANY town
Is fortunate to own their public util-
tiles. This is what Paonia is going
to do. We do not say that the coun-
ell has made no mistakes for that
would be saying too much for any
man or set OF men as any business
man il sure to do that sometimes
when he thinks he is doing the right
thing exactly; but we do say rhatall
things considered Paonia has a good
light service as any town around ex-
cept that we need an all night SER
vice. And the fact that the plant is
now owned by the town and that
there is no possibility OF the people
being held up by some corporation
getting franchise and charging ex-
orbitant rates on the service Then
It gives good impression when
stranger comes in and hears that the
people of a town have been farseeing
and enterprising enough to go after
these things and get them and own
them.
II at any time any one feels that
the management of the light plant is
not just as they would like, we have
a council composed of good fair
minded men who are citizens of the
town and are giving their time to
look after this plant to the best ad-
vantage of the people and they viii
all listen To any suggestions you
may have 10 make and treat you
right, az they do not always expect
to be In the position in which you
have placed them by your vote and
they want to serve you while they
are on the council. You may be In
their places next time and may have
the chance to see whether or not you
can do any better than they. Owing
To the fact that quite a number OF
people have spoken about an all
night service since our article ap-
peared in the Progressive we wish to
again call attention to the import
ance of this change in the interest of
the business houses as a means of
lowering insurance as well as the
greater benefits of a service of that
character.

Horse Poisoned By
Alfalfa From Orchard

Grand Valley orchardists are warn.
ed against feeding alfalfa that has
been grown In the orchard among
sprayed trees to their horses and
stock. Mr. James Goff well known
orchardist fed some of his first cut
ting alfalfa to a valuable team of
work horses. Both horses are now
at the Drew veterinary hospital on
the verge OF death, suffering from
arsenate of lead pisoning. One prob
ably died last evening, as DR., Drew
said it could not live.

tween trees that have been sprayed

danger of dying when fed alfalfa
grown that way, Mr.. Con says he
will not again run such a risk and
would not have fed the hay to his
horses this time II he had known how
heavily the hay was impregnated
with the fatal solution.
Mr.. Goff went to warn all orchard
lists OF the danger he has discovered
so dearly. Many fruit growers knew
the danger either through experience
or hearsay and have avoided such
hay, but there are doubtless many
more who have not given the matter
much thought-Grand Junction

after. As 1t takes five to seven days
for the new moth To-Day eggs and
seven days for the eggs to hatch, the

sion being the announcement of the

were ushered into the dining room.
The table was profusely decorated

courses were served. Plates were
laid for ten and Mt each place were
three slips of paper. lying face down
ward and numbered in rotation. Al
ter pledging absolute secrecy for ten
hours each person was allowed to
take up slip of paper as the num-
hers were called and the mystery
was revealed. The story is told
briefly. While In Los Angeles on
March 7th, Miss Nell and her fiance,
Louis b. johnson made trip TO
Ventura, California. all unknown to
their folks and friends, and at the
home OF the Methodist minister. Rev.
O. n. Renius in the presence OF wit
nesses, these two were made one. A
week was spent at Highlands visit
ing friends, after which they returned
to Los Angeles, the bride to the
apartments of her mother and sisters
and the groom to his work ut Co

and her mother returned to their
home here. The secret was well kept
from friends and the announcement
was complete surprise. Mrs. John

About Competitors

on seveval occasions during the
past few weeks several persons have
jokingly spoken TO us about the ap-
parent friendship existing betweenthe
editors of the two Paonia papers.
They seem to think myself and Mr.
Honnald should scrap and shun each
other perhaps but we take a different
view of the matter, we are here to
help advance the interests of this
town and we confer with each other
as to the best way to do il. Then
too we both think we are men with
good Intentions and desire to be gen
tlemanly in our treatment of each
other.
We hope the people will not think
that because we are friendly that we
do not feel 1t our dnty to render our
services to the public in n manner to
advance the interests of all. one OF
the best things we can say for Paonia
is the kindly spirit shown by all the
business men of the town toward
competitors.

New City Ordinances

Two new ordinances enacted by

issue. The wisdom OF these ordina-

We believe that ordinances of the
character of these are timely and do
not appear to soou. 1t is impossible
to use too great caution In regard to
eliminating the danger OF fire. Also
the organization OF fire companies is
just the thing. now let every business
man as well as every one having ut
heart the best interests OF the town
cooperate with the Council and in
so doing secure not only greater SAT

the rate of fire insurance.
