PROPOSED SYSTEM
NATIONAL HIGHWAYS
FOLLOWS MILITARY
ROAD
THROUGH THIS STATE
Except In Case of Hot Springs
Partial History of This
Historic Road, Passing Here

The system Of national high
ways as laid off on the plat Of the
proposed n tiona al highways
shows the main trunk line from
Louisville, KY, to Nashville, Tenn;
thence to Memphis, Little Rock,
Hot Springs, and on by way of
Washington and Fulton to Tex
arkana, in Arkansas thence to
Dallas, Waxahachie, Austin and
San Antonio on to Laredo, on the
border of Mexico.
The regiment Of. Tennessee
troops that went overland to the
Mexican war in 1916, leaving out
Hot Springs, travelled the old mil
itary road. This was Col. Thomas
regiment of Tennessee calvary,
and the diary of a soldier in that
regiment, as recently published
in the Arkansas Gazette gives
the following route: Left Mem
phis July II, 1916 and arrived at
Little Rock August Z, from there
to the Salina river, and from
there to Benton, Rock Port, Mag
net Cove, Caddo, and from there
to Washington where the regi
ment camped until August %
They went from here to Fulton,
where Red river was crossed.
This is the historic old military
road which nearly all theEtroops
going overland to the Mexican
war travelled, and with the ex-
ception of the road from Little
Rock to HotSprings, seems tobe
the route laid outin mapping the
system of national highways.
These roads run over the best
ground for building roads, the
ground picked out by the Indians
and known the Southwest
trail, and the roads over which
the pioneers of this country trav
eled as the best and most practi-
cal route, picked out when they
had the whole country at their
command and we're not hampered
by railroads that are shooting
from town to town, fencing dis
tricts and other distractions.

This Interests Every Woman

A family doctor said recently
that women come to him thinking
that they have female trouble, but
when he treats them for their
kidneys and bladder, they soon
recover. This is worth knowing,
and also that Foley's Kidney Pills
are the best and safest medicine
at such times. They are tonic in
action, quick in results. They
will help you. (Adv't.)

TALLAHASSEE July 1.-THE
newly appointed State Tax Commits
sioners, who have just received their
commissions from the Governor. held
their first session on a bench in the
Capitol corridor, because they are
without a house or home"
The law creating the commission
requires that they have an office in
the Capitol, but Secretary of State
Crawford has a hard time complying
with that provision, for the old Capt.
tol building is badly crowded. How
ever, he has made them a Temporary
office, and the commissioners to-day
went over some preliminary plans
preparatory to getting down to rea,
work.
One of the Commissioners said that
they would not attempt any changes
in tax values this year, but would
spend the remainder of the year in
forming themselves as to values
throughout the State and preparing
for positive action next year.
He said the commission would be
called on to make a number of trips
of inspection.

RICH GIRL AND

NOW MARRIED
Jacksonville Society Is Stirred by
Escapade of Ex-Sheriff Bow
denis Daughter.

JACKSONVILLE, July 12.-Soci-
ETY. folks here are on the qui vive
to-day in anticipation of the arrival
of Mrs. Lewis A. Myers, who, as
Miss May Bowden, daughter of For
mer Sheriff r. Fleming Bowden, a
millionaire, eloped with Myers,
they were married last Monday.
The marriage is known to have
been opposed by Mr.. Bowden and
current gossip has it that the OPP
position may go to such lengths that
Mrs. Lewis may not receive the pa
ternal olive branch upon her return
home.
Mr.. Bowden refuses to commit
himself. Apparently he is accepting
the situation in the best grace pos
sible.
Met a Year Ago.
The elopement and wedding was
the elimination of a series of Incl
dents extending over more than a
year, Of which only Miss Bowden's
closest friends were aware.
About a year ago Miss Bowden,
then barely II years Of age, through
a girl friend CHANGED to meet Young
Myers at his place of employment,
at Leakes drug store. Cupid was
on hand, too, that day. 1t was the
old. old story. Myers was Immediate
ly attracted to Miss Bowden, and, in
Cot n
ideal in the drug clerk.
After numerous meetings at the
drug store, which Miss Bowden Wis
tied often for ice cream and soda
water, the two became sufficiently
acquainted for Myers to summon up
courage to ask if he might call at
the Bowden home. OF course, the
request was granted and Myers was
received cordially by Miss Bowden's
parents.
Father lnterferes.
The growing affection, however
could not be concealed, and at length
Miss Bowden's father, who was quite
well acquainted with Myers, forbade
! him to call, explaining to his daugh-
/ ter that she was too young to have
STEADY" beau.
Cupid was still on hand, however
| for in the weeks that followed Miss
Bowden and Mr.. Myers contrived tC
meet downtown where they mapped
out, all to themselves. their plans
! for the future. With the exception
of a girl friend of Miss Bowden. and
Paul Coulson, roommate of Myers
/ and a soda water clerk at Leake's
no one knew of the engagement OF

readily granted.

the two got away without being de-

ming expenses to tide them over until
such time as the bond issue for 81 500 =
900 for docks and terminals is vail
dated by the Supreme Court.
As far as can be learned in advance,
however, the Commissioners will be un-
successful in their effort to secure the
appropriation. as they have thus far
shown an inability to do anything tan
gible. Just now the st. Johns River
Terminal Company, whose docks it was
sought to acquire by condemnation pro-
ceedings, is fighting the valuation of the
bonds in court, in an effort to prevent
the seizure of its property.
After starting out to secure this prop
erty by condemnation proceedings. some
of the Commissioners appear to believe
now that a mistake was made and that
the property is not what is wanted.
