leading from Grenada to Bill Wlight's
place and Providence and leading to
middle road of beat line. the balance of
the roads in this beat have been put I'd
fairly well TO contract. Providence
road and middle road are both first
class roads. We have mad a great deal
OF widening to do on them, owing to
the fact OF lateneSs, that If We had
graded this road it would nav made it
llnp~assaole. The contractor has been
dlllgent at his work and mas pushed it
as much as possible; he has also re-
sponded in every instance to our mott
ces, and beiive that in future he will
be able to overcome all obstacles and
give us very fine roads. We have sew
eral bridges in this beat that will have
TO be built or repaired this year, as
follows: Elliott road bridge across
slough, branch of Jackson creek, Balton
branch and Perry creek bridge in
FRANK Lewis road. Would recommend
that these bridges be repaired at an
early date.
Beat q. The roads in this beat have
all been over and are fairly up to plans
ana specifications, except Willis road
is narrow and middle road leading from
beat line to county line, has only been
over one trip this quarter, which did
not put 1t in good condition; notwith-
standing this fact, there has been a
greet deal OF work done on this road
PRIOR to this quarter; also the Proyi-
dence road leading from Bowen school
mouse to beat line has not been gone
over this quarter; and the Graysport
road east of Fennef's has a bad hole
near Jack Williams; with this exception
the road is well up to contr ict.
We have done nothing in this beat
since this LAST reply. Roads, bridges
amp culverts are al in bad condition.
Beat AZ, Nothing has been done to
this bear since cur last report. Roads
we're well up to plans and specifications.
Wonld recommend that the bridge on
McSwine CreeN be repaired at an early
date. Also bridge over Barksdale
creek is leaning.
Very respectfully,

To the Hon. Board of Supervisors OF
Grenada County, State of Miss.
Gentlemen: below We hand you or
quarterly report of Public roads in beat
one as follows: All the roads have heen
gone over and we find the same TO be
all up to plans and Specifications with
the exception of the Carrollton road
from Spring Hill Church to Bill Wright's
place, a distance of ten miles, also the
Providence road and the pisce of the
middle road in beat one; while consid-
cradle work has been done on the road
rlnce our last report, we feel confident
the entire road would have been put up
had it not been for the excessive rains
and our interference in doing further
work would have left abe road in much
worse condition. Therefore we recon-
mend that your hon. body accept and
pay for same. Respectfully submitted,

DEMOCRACY IN PAJAMAS.
Have We Lost that True Jefferson
ian Simplicity:

From the Indianapolis Star.
Can II be that the virgin spirit of De-
mocracy is waning? Is the beautiful at
mosphere of fellowship and common
place existence that has served as the
guiding star of the followers Of Jeffer-
son for so long fading into space?
Gov. Woodrow Wilson was disporting
himself in his luxurious bathtub midst
the scent Of expensive toilet waters and
dainty talcum powders when the call
came for him TO lead the hardy sons OF
toll with the horny hands OF labor on to
victory under the mingling banner Of
Democracy.
Gov Marshall responded to his party's
summons to arms dressed in a becoming
suit OF silk pajamas fit for any of the
crowned heads of Europe. OF course,
there Is nothing absolutely distressing
about baths and pajamas when they are
In their rightful place. 1t would not
have been unusual IL a milk-fed and
trust-backed Republican oligarch had
been caught in a like predicament, but
when two representatives of the SOW
ereign will of the lowly masses are
trapped while reveling in the very depths
of pompous style and sybaritic refine
ment, our goat Is entirely taken from
our possession.
The more we consider the bare facts
the more We shudder for the future Of
Democracy. Victory, power. progress.
and even existence may have been crush
ed into the earth by this chance hap
pening. What must be the feeling Of
the reactionary who considers baths fit
cnly for women and children? What will
be the view OF those eager Bryanites
who have sworn never to remove their
cveralls and shoes until the peerless
leader has been seated in the Presiden-
tial chair?

The Crops Of the World.

That modern nations are interdepend-
ent is evidenced by the established in
tercourse concerning crops. The In
ternational Institute of Agriculture at
Rome has just issued its June bulletin.
David Lubin, our fellow-citizen. is this
countrys delegate at that institute. The
other cooperating countries constitute
the greater portion of the world. The
nonconforming nations are Venezuela,
Haiti, Colombia, Bolivia, Morocco.
Siam, Ottoman, Afghanistan, and few
more of the Asiatic group. The sug-
gestion of the United States that the
normal crop should be taken as basis
for computation has been adopted.
The latest bulletin has tables show
ing the world area under wheat, rye,
barley, oats, corn, and rice, and the
estimated production in few countries
of the first four of these crops. The
weather in general was not very IA
vorable during May on account of heavy
rains and late frosts. The production
of wheat in Spain is estimated at I24,-
o74-4oo hundredweight, or 7o per cen,
of last years production. In this coun-
try winter wheat production is esti-
mated at 3o5,I7o,3ao hundredweight, OF
S4-3 per cent of last years crop. India
follows with 362,S3o,o8 hundredweight
or o7.7 per cent
Silk-worm growing had an off yeal
in Spain and Japan. Bulgaria and Italy
report poor returns, while Austria and
France give satisfactory accounts Sugar
beets and tobacco are reported in good
condition. The vineyards promise well
The cotton crop is.not very satisfactory
Returns were bad from the United
States, Egypt, Japan, and Tunis. Ir
this country on May IS the cotton croI
condition was 78o per cent, as com,
pared with e7.8 on the same date o.
last year.

DoN'Ts FOR GLOBE TRoTTERs.
New York Hotel Hands Out some
Advice for Comfort of Guests.

From the New York American
Guests of the Hotel Victoria found in
their mail boxes circulars containing
Ten Don'ts for Travellers prepared by
the proprietor George W. Sweeney, for
their comfort. These don'ts were:
Don't feel hurt if the proprietor re-
fuses to cash your check Your credit
may be o. X, but the proprietor has
enough checks returned n. q. TO build
several hotels.
Don't marry the girl at the news stand.
She is worthy OF you. but the hotel Is not
a matrimonial bureau.
Don't carry thirty-siX trunks with a
collar button in each one. Light lug
gage will give you time TO see the sights
And the porter will bless you.
Don't make friends with every jolly
good fellow at the bar. Good Samari-
tans In New York sometimes sell bad
mining stocks.
Don't forget to pay the telephone girl.
II is embarrassing to be called back for
n dime.
Don't turn the hotel inside out for your
wallet until you look under your Pillow
You probably slept on 1t last night
Don't carry of souvenirs when we
wish to demolish and dismantle the hotel
we will send you speciality engraved
invitation to act as a housewrecker.

tory The man in the next room may
not appreciate the artistic temperament
Don't hesitate to express your wants.
This Is not a deaf and dumb asylum.

complaint To err is human.

GIRL TREED BY BEARS.
finnesota Lass, Seeking Lost Cow,
| Has Thr1lling Encounter.

Has Thrilling Encounter.
From KINNEY Csiinn) Dtlatch.
While hunting for lost COW in the
woods adjacent to her fathers home
stead, seven miles north or kinney,
Mary McInnes, fifteen years old, en-
countered black bear with two we'll
grown cubs. She was almost upon the
animals before she saw them.
Screaming the girl scrambled over
fallen logs and dead brush. the enraged
bear coming after her. Coming TO a
small tree she grasped the lower poughs
and drew herself up until out OF i'm
mediate harms way. The bear hung
around the tree and made several at
tempts TO climb It, but its efforts were
failures, owing to the small girth OF the
trunk, which prevented the brute from
getting a solid grip. The weather was
very cold, and as the evening wore on It
became almost impossible for the girl
to retain her hold on the boughs through
cramps in her arms and the stiffness
from cold.
When darkness came on the parents
and elder brother became alarmed and
started out with lanterns to md the
girl. calling loudly as they proceeded
through the woods. Miss McInnes heard
the calls and endeavored TO answer
them, but at first found It impossible
TO make even the slightest sound be-
cause of the cold and nervousness. As
the searchers drew nearer. however. she
was heard calling family. The bears
must have been frightened on by the
lantern light, as nothing was seen OF
them by the rescuing party.
Miss McInnes collapsed when taken
from her perilous position She had
been in the tree six hours.

MONEY AND VACATION REST.
New York Spends s"o,ooo,ooo for
Summer Trips.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Somebody has estimated that the peo-
pie Of New York City spend $4,000. 900 each
year for their summer vacations That
sounds like a large sum. but It would not
be excessive II everybody In New York
could have a vacation. But It is notori-
ously true that a very great many Of
them enjoy no such luxury. while rela-
lively few contribute the greater part OF
what is spent for vacations In New York
and elsewhere.
But the poor man has his consolation.
or may have II he can persuade himself
of the truth that II does not require a
large sum Of money to have a good time.
A common and fundamental mistake as
to vacations is that one leaves his accTs-
toned haunts in summer in search of
something new, strange, and exciting.
The truth is that a rational and useful
vacation consists simply in getting away
from accustomed things. That is neither
difficult nor expensive. The noise, worry,
and distraction of city life can be left
completely behind within a few minutes
travel from St. Louis. and the expense
of such a sojourn in the country need
not exceed 81 a day.
Any set Of young men can tramp the
country and sleep in the open for less
than 81 a day and hare a good time do
ing it. The novelty of such a trip for
the average city man would exceed that
of any ordinary journey by palace car
to the most expensive resort, and the
healthful change and exercise involved
would exceed anything to be gained In
hotel bathrooms or on boardwelks.

A "Keep Well" Club.

Frusn the Detroit Free Press
Cleveland is the home of the newest
fad. The Ohio city has a Keep Welf'
club composed OF persons who believe
in restricting Indulgence in food. They
fast now and then from a week to a
month. One apostle Of the new cult de-
clares he has found abounding health in
a diet of eight quarts Of milk daily for
eight months.
1t may be that this foodless life ID
beneficial to some Clevelanders- 1t Is
probably also true that many people IN
other cities-perhaps even some In De-
troit-eat too much. particularly in the
summer time. But 1t is equally prooa-
able that many irnitators Of the cult VIII
starve themselves beyond the endurance
point Of weak hearts and so commit
virtual suicide.
1t is Just at this point that so many
health, beauty, and nostrum fads become
so deadly and so damaging. Every we'll
informed person knows that wise medf-
cal practitioner when called to attend
