Dedicated to the Guests of MonteagIe
Hotel, Dec. IA, 1878.

Hotel, Dec.' IA 1918.
Written and composed by the author.)
Monteagle is place
Where good people are found
And bad people, too, must say.
But it is not of the town
Or the people we speak
It's the sights that we see every day.
When out late Sunday night,
And you happen to get tight,
And want to brace up on bottle more.
Don't think by the gloom
They have no saloon,
Look around for the Cookies side door.
You may not believe it,
But wait until you see it
You will say am right on that score,
For there's no Monteagle preacher
Or Sunday School Teacher
But what can show you some little
side door.
Now Monteagle House
Is quite as a mouse,
Until five or at early dawn,
Our guests are disturbed,
For old Henry is bird
When it comes to getting up in the
morn.
Miss Lada Sykora,
A dainty old maid,
Who believes in plenty of fresh air
She sleeps on the porch,
And what pity, of course,
A curtain is hanging out there.
The worst of them all
Is old Stanley SO tall,
Who comes in at all hours in the morn:
Throws his key on the floor
And climbs over the door,
Having just come from that little side
door.

Judge Rose Improving.

The condition of Judge Uriah
NJ. Rose, former president of the
American Bar Association and
peace commissioner to The
Hague, who fell from a chair at
his Office, 314 West Markham
street yesterday morning, was
last night reported to be improv-
ed. Although suffering from a
severe blow to his spine, which
resulted when he struck the
floor, it is thought no serious
consequences will follow.
The fall occurred when Judge
Rose in attempting to turn on
an electric fan, stood upon a
chair, lost his balance, then top
pied over. He was picked up
unconscious and hurried to his
home at Third and Gaines
streets, where he was admins
tered to by DR.. C. P. Merriweth-

dollar in cash that was spent.
Scrip was selling at forty and
fifty cents when this plan was
decided upon and every man who
had claim against the city
padded it to twice its value. This
is now being done on not quite
so large basis with the county.
Scrip is worth sixty cents and
while it is against the law to
raise the value of claim against
the county owing to deprecia-
ton in the value of scrip, yet it
is done and the grand jury and
all concerned are forced to wink
at this violation, because other
wise the county's credit would
be embarrassed.
The county has less than forty
thousand dollars outstanding
warrants at this time. By Sc
lecting wealthy stakeholder
from each of the four banks of
the city as a custodian or trus-
tee to act in behalf of the county,
and the banks, sufficient money,
we believe, could be borrowed,
each bank loaning its proper
tomato share at given per cent
interest to call in the scrip at
seventy-fve cents or whatever
amount should be decided upon.
The scrip to be held as collateral
until sufficient revenue is on
hand to retire it.
In this manner more good
roads and bridges and general
county improvements could be
made and one of the most pros
porous counties in the state
would have a clean slate, UNI
hampered by debt and ready to
make more rapid pace in every
way. We would be glad to see
our county judge get in touch
with the proper parties to bring
this condition to a happy frui-
ton. 1t is a shame that coun-
ty of the magnitude and impor-
lance of Craighead, should be
hampered by debt and unable
to make advancement in many
ways that is so badly needed
lust now.-Jonesboro Tribune.

Placing Scrip At Par.

An effort is now being made
upon the part of some of the en-
thusiastic citizens of Jonesboro,
to promote a plan whereby
Craighed county's paper can be
placed at par, and the outstand-
ing scrip Indebtedness wiped
out.
This is the most commendable
move that has been started in
several years and can easily be
accomplished with the support
of a few of our worthy citizens,
who certainly have the advance
ment and prosperity of the coun-
ty at heart. The plan is very
simple and is similar to the
means adopted to liquidate the
Indebtedness of Jonesboro few
years ago, when Mayor Gregg
and the progressive council WHIP
ed out an Indebtedness of more
than forty thousand dollars in
two years. These gentlemen
had the cooperation of our
banks and borrowed sufficient
money at six per cent interest to
call in $4,000 of outstanding
scrip, paying fifty cents in cash
for the entire amount. Almost
every dollar was readily secured
and the scrip placed as collater-
al with the banks and retired
and cancelled as fast as revenue
was received, in excess of the a
mount necessary to carry on the
actual expenses of the city gov
eminent. In two years the
banks were paid in full and the
scrip cancelled and the city had
a snug deposit on hand to meet
all expenses.
During this interim the city
made as rapid advance and as
much general improvement as
at any time in its history. This
is explained by the fact that in
stead of paying two dollars in
scrip for every claim against the
city, it had the ready money and
received a dollars worth of la
Dor or merchandise for every
