Changes Made in County Road Sys-
r tenn.

After spending several days in
hearing the contestants lin the var
ious county highway contests, the
board finally made their decision in
the matter after viewing all of the
contested roads. The board found
when county engineer Mallette made
an accurate plat Of all the roads
lin the county, that they. had desig-
mated about 3 5 miles more than the
Is per cent maximum under the new
law, the total amount which they
could select being only 1875 miles, so
they were forced to cut out some of
the roads as part of the county high
ways. They decided to cut out the
north road running west from >Deca-
tur City to the Ringgold county line,
the road from Decatur City to Terre
Haute, the road running north and
west from the town of Grand River
to the Clarke county line, the road
running from Leroy to Garden
Grove, the road running west from
the corner three and half miles
north of Leon running west, north
and west to connect with the Corn
Belt trail and which is, known as
the Mike Springer road. and that
part of the Leon and Lineville road
commencing at James Hazlett's and
extending south and east through
Morgan township to the Wayne
county line. They located only one
new piece of road, piece about two
and half miles long running south
from Lamont to the Missouri state
line to connect with the Andover
road. This leaves the county high
way system consisting of about 1874
miles, within one mile of the maxi
mum amount of road they
could select While they were
obliged to cut out some of
the roads selected, they were all
contested roads except the ones
running north from Grand River and
the one from Leroy to Garden Grove,
and the board did the very best they
could under the circumstances. This
leaves the contested roads still in
the hands of the township trustees
and they will no doubt see that they
are kept up equally as good as the
regular county highways.

BARGAIN DAY A WINNER.
Many Took Advantage of the Big
Bargains Offered Last Saturday
by the Leon Merchants.
Everybody Pleased.

The first big bargain day ever Of
fered jointly by all the merchants
of Leon, was held last Saturday,
Alfalfa Day. and the result was
splendid business at every store ana
hundreds of satisfied customers from
the surrounding country who TOOK
advantage of the exceptional bar
gains offered to them in every line
of business for that day. The wealth
er was very disagreeable, but not
withstanding there was a big crowd
in town and the merchants had all
the business they could handle. And
the people who came to Leon to Sc
cure the bargains offered, in many
instances at prices of one-half or less
of their actual value, were more than
pleased, for the merchants demon
strated that they had the goods and
that they were exactly as represented
in the bargain advertisements. The
sale was worked up under the aus
pices of the Leon Commercial CLUB,
and whenever they endorse anything
the people know that it is all right.
In some instances the entire supply
of the articles advertised were COM
pletely exhausted before all were
supplied, but this was a contingency
Which could not be avoided, as no
merchant could tell how many of any
one article he would sell that day.
It being the first bargain sale held
of course some mistakes were made,
but the merchants will profit by the
experience of last Saturday at future
sales, for it is planned to hold these
special bargain sales at intervals
during the next few months. At the
next sale it will probably be arrang-
ed that a definite number of articles
will be placed on sale, one half to
be offered in the forenoon and one
half in the afternoon, so as to give
the people who cannot come to Leon
before afternoon an equal chance
with the town people.
Watch out for the next big bar
gain sale at Leon.

A Recital of Merit.

Through an oversight we last week
failed to mention the very pleasing
recital given at the NJ. E. church on
Tuesday evening of last week by
Prof. Russell Manley, assisted by
Mrs. Manley as accompanist and vO-
calist, and Miss Gladys Edwards, of
Osceola, as reader. There was an
appreciative audience present and
the program was we'll arranged
one. Prof. Manley has been heard
frequently in public since he located
in Leon as musician, but the pro-
gram of the recital gave him an op-
portunity for wide scope of work,
in which he acquitted himself most
credibly. He is musician and
teacher of extraordinary ability,
and has received a fine musical edu-
cation from some of the best instruc-
tors, specializing in acquiring the ap-
proved methods of teaching both
vocal and instrumental music. Mrs.
Manley is also a fine musician, a
splendid accompanist and has BEAU
tiful soprano voice, and in both her
solos and the duets with Prof. Man
ley her voice showed to good advan-
tage. Miss Edwards gave several
readings in an easy and artistic man
ner and showed that she had splen-
did talent in this line. Interest was
added to the program from the fact
that she was former Leon girl,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Edawrds, who resided in this city for
many years, and this was her first
appearance before a Leon audience.
The program throughout was very
entertaining and Prof. Manley in the
near future expects to give another
recital at which his pupils will ap-
pear on the program.

Leon Will Not Celebrate the Fourth

A meeting of businessmen and citi-
zens was held last Friday evening
at which it was decided that Leon
