One noticeable feature of the bids
was the absence of any kind of bid
on the road running from the corpo-
rate limits of this town to the Clear
Fork district line, and on the road
from North Tazewell to Wittens
Mills, along Clinch River. 1t was
thought that these sections would be
the easiest constructed of any.
The section of road that will be the
costliest built in the county is located
near Graham-about five miles, half
of which will have to be built through
solid rock. 1t is stated that contrac-
tors are recosidering their bids on
this section of road and that contracts
may be let for same within a short
time.

PAIRS DON'T

WAUKDSHA, Wis, Jan. pa
strange Wisconsin marriage law was
taken advantage Of for the first time
last week when a divorced couple were
allowed to resume the marital relation.
The pair were June and John Nc
Rowan.
The Wisconsin law, before amend
ment, provided that divorced persons
in this State may not wed again within
one year. The McKowans, after a sep
aration granted six months 6 de-
cided that they had made a mistake.
They were first married thirty-three
years ago and had several children.
Their infelicity was thought by both
to be irr%econcilable and they were di-
vorced.
Christmas they met at a sons home
and decided they could spend the rest
of their lives happily together, and in
furtherance of a resolve went to Judge
Agnew to get remarked. He told them
the new law provided that in such
cases to merely state their intentions
of setting aside the separation was
all that was needed to reunite them.
