A large crowd of people gath.
cred in Mckenzie last Saturday to
hear d. Ward King, the father OF
the King Split log Drag, who
made a stirring lecture on GOOD
Roads and How to Make Them
Without Cost"
Mr.. King had an appreciative
audience and much enthusiasm was
created by the address and the
practical demonstration in road
dragging and preparing, which he
gave following the address. He
has certainly solved the problem of
securing good roads at a very
small cost.
Forty people agreed to prepare
and use the split log drag, and it
is believed that seed was sown Sat
urday, which will result in great
Improvement in the public roads.
Judge Wilson Enochs, of Hunt
ingdon, who went down to hear
Mr.. King, presided at the meeting
and introduced the speaker.

to the way our Master would have
Us worship Him, yet they show a
true christian spirit Of brotherly
love, and as far as possible, unite
for the benefit of humanity in gen
eral.
These are an educated and cul-
tured people with many obliga-
tons to meet, yet they find time
to visit the sick and minister to
their need with their own hands;
have time to make neighborly
visits or entertain neighbor and
friend; nor is the stranger forgot
ten or neglected.
OF course all do not do all Of
these things, yet that seems to be
the desire of the majority, and
many really put into action these
desires and relations.
In these days of progress, when
1.-The world has become slave to
fashion and fads, it requires real
bravery for one to show any indi-
I
viduality, and as a result, towns
as we'll as individuals, are striving
to appear like every other, and it
! is rather inspiring to find one here
and there which has some mark Of
difference from the others, besides
that which is given by natural
features. And in this day of rush
and grasping, it is sweet to lind a
place here and there where our
dear old-time hospitality still ex-
lists, where there are homes whose
''latch-string" hangs on the OUT
side and friend may enter with
out that fear Of being an intruder,
or that his sudden entrance may
cause much inconvenience to the
housewife.
AS Providence has seemingly
preserved some of the ancient
places and customs of other ma
tions to show to this generation
the things which were in the past,
so may some Of our towns and peo-
pie be kept free from the over
powering influence of fashion and
greed and sel6shness, and there be
left some that will cling to the old
time way of exercising individual
lily and showing hospitality, thus
keeping the commands given by
Christ.
The appearance Of town is an
index to the character of its citi-
zens. May Irrelevant long con-
tinle to hold her marks of indi-
viduality, and may the brotherly
love which now binds together her
people in every line Of business
continue and keep her as pattern
for others.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
Urges Clerks of Advisory Board
TO be Prompt and Accurate
As the County Board Of Educa-

As the County Board Of Educa-
ton will meet on the first Satur-
day in July for the purpose Of
appointing teachers to the schools
OF the county, it will be necessary
for you to recommend teachers be-
fore that time, otherwise the board
may make appointments without
any recommendation.
1t will be we'll for you to note
some of the qualifications that
teachers must possess in order to
be eligible to teach in the public
schools of Tennessee,
They must be clear of any dis
ease which they might commune
cate to the students of their
schools; they must not be under
eighteen years of age; they must
not be addicted to the use of in
toxicant drinks, opiates or cigar
ettes, Try as far as possible to
recommend teachers who have
been faithful in their attendance
upon teachers meetings and who
have otherwise met the county
superintendent requirements.
The matter of having summer
schools has been left with the ad-
visory school boards, and | insist
that you ascertain the wish Of the
patrons of the different schools
and be guided accordingly. Advise
the county superintendent as to
what schools will have a summer
term.
The clerks Of the advisory achool
boards will receive their enumera-
tion blanks in the next few days
and want to urge you to be ac-
curate in the work of enumerating
the school children. Go from
house to house in order to be sure
to get their exact ages and to as
sign them to a certain house to at
cend school. You be sure to indi-
cate the house to which each child
is assigned, as the compulsory at
tendance law goes into effect July
1, and the teacher of each school
house must be furnished with a
list of the students that belong to
that house. So do not fail to as
sign each one to some house, and
except for very special reasons, to
the house nearest to them. Try
to have your enumerating done
and sent in to the county superin-
tendent by the 18th Of July so he
may have time to make a list of
the children belonging to each
house and furnish it to the teacher
before the schools begin.
Impress it upon the people that
children between the ages of eight
and fourteen are required, under
the law, to attend school eighty
consecutive days, and those be-
tween fourteen and sixteen who
are not engaged in some useful,
lawful occupation are also required
to attend. And if there are any
between fourteen and sixteen who
can not read and write they must
attend regardless of occupation.

A IRRELEVANT BOAST
A Visitors Impression Of the Town
and Her People

happy privilege to visit IN the
home Of my dear friends, Rev.
and Mrs. w. H. Hughes, who
have long been residents Of the
quiet little town Of Irrelevant.
While here / have renewed ac-
quaintances which we're made dur
ing my short visits here in previ-
Gus years, and have met others Of
the town.
Though Irrelevant is only a
small town Of about 800 inhabit-
ants, she can boast Of having sew
eral stores which dc a thriving bus
mess. One Of these is a large de-
partment store, which keeps in
stock almost everything needed by
town people or farmers and does
business ia the latest, up-to-date
style. From the station IS shipped
more freight than that shipped by
manytowns which are much larger.
This large amount Of business done
and shipments made is due to the
fact that the town is situated in a
fine farming section. Being To-
Gated on the Louisville and Nash
vile railway gives it excellent ia
cilities for reaching the best mar
kets Of our country. But in con-
nection with these commercial adj
vantages Irrelevant enjoys the
privileges of a country town. 10
the writer there seems such home
like appearance to the residences
of these people, which is sadly
wanting in our larger towns. Some
of these residences are costly
buildings, constructed in modern
style; others are large and stately,
which have done service for many
years, but still retain their beauty
and striking appearance. Others
are modest little cottages. But al
most every house has lot large
enough for at least a garden and
an orchard. From these an abund-
ance of vegetables and fruits are
..had for the table. Some have
farms joining their home lot and
on these farms are raised fruits
and vegetable for the foreign mar
kets, as well as other products for
home use. Coal can be had at So
per ton and wood reasonably cheap,
and their homes are kept comfort
able in winter.
But few families are without a
home of their own. They enjoy
many of the luxuries as well as the
comforts of life, and yet while do
ing so, they do not shirk from do
ing manual labor. Women and
children make much Of their own
spending money by helping gather
for market the fruits and yegeta-
bles. These children have the ad-
vantage Of good educational OPP
portunities. A large and beauti-
ful school building stands almost
in the center of the town and here
they are carried through the high
school branches. After having
completed here, many go away to
college.
While Irrelevant is fair SAM
pie of Tennessee towns, yet there
is an individuality about it and
her people.
To a careful obserber the most
noticeable mark of individuality is
the location of her churches and
cemetery. Within blocks dis
lance from the station is large,
beautiful grove of stately oaks.
In this grove stand the four
churches for the white people. All
Of these are in a row only a few
steps from each other. Adjoining
this grove at the back is the Gem
etery. This is beautifully kept,
not even a grave being left I'M
marked.
One bell does service to call the
people to service to the several
churches and also tO announce the !
