 "We passed a resolution asking for the re-enactment of the tobacco tax of 1879, the funds from which were to be applied toward the con struction and maintenance of nation al highways. This law if passed, will entail but nominal sum from the user of the weed, and will in no way distress any financially. On the other hand, and in the aggregate, it will create fund for the laudable undertaking that will aggregate close to S60,000,000 per annum.
 q visited the director of the Of flee of Good Roads in Washington, and procured from him the assur- ance that Sl0,000 would be applied on the post road between Springer vile and Holbrook The govern ment is to furnish an engineer to superintend construction and the fund is now available This sum with the S20,000 authorized by Maya jo and Apache counties insures the building of that section of the high way in the near future.

 "A feeling of grief that is wide spread, and a shock to the com munity generally, has been experi- enced during the past few days by an occurrence that is particularly sad, by the passing away of two of the best known women of Mac chias, Mrs. Martha Getchel and her daughter, Mrs. Thirza Flynn.

TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE

Set in an environment of mountain
country, the portrayal of which John
Fox. Jr.. is a master hand, and with
the playllghting genius OF Eugene
Walter to transfer the story for stage
purposes The Trail of the Lonesome
Pine" is indeed something of drama
tic worth. There is a blend of hui
man emotion, meeting of conditions
as classed between the we'll bred res
jdent of me city and the child OF ma
ture of The mountains, and story
of how love levels conditions and
grasps within it's grip those who IN
station haze been far apart.
The audience at the Elks theatre
last night which witnessed this STIR
ring play, full of climaxes, splendid
from a scenic standpoint and abound
ing with the ever enhancing scenes
of when love is webbing around pros
pective victims, certainly enjoyed
the porduction to hearts contest, not
alone for the production, but, equally
as we'll from the standpoint of pres
entation, for the cast we'll deserves
praise in large degree.
The central story of the play de-
wolves around June, child Of ma
ture frank of heart, and John Hale,
civil engineer representing large
corporation and against which the
mountaineers were incensed. The
meeting o. June and Hale under a
tall pine on the mountainside at near
sunset is as realistic picture as
the stage ever affords. Then, Then
again, there is the story of feudal
hatred, OF the Tollivers deadly en-
nifty toward the Falies and then,
around in spots, there are flashes of
comedy-~the kind of comedy that
does not make one laugh outright
with vehemence but treasure up the
laughs for days to come.
The role of June was assumed by
Miss Isabelle Lowe and a winsome
little June was she. The role makes
many demands upon the portrayer
to appear artless is the greatest of
al historionic art, and through the
greater portion of the play, this has
