easy at mind until he made an
open confession +, to the public,

1t is true ! always was great
admirer of Roosevelt, but when
he left the party, I did not make
any more fight for him, and when
l went to Vote. 1 did not leave the
party for him, I voted under
the Log Cabin and for the electors
of Roosevelt thus supporting
every nominee of the Republican
party other then Taft. Now l
trust that this is a satisfactory
explanation and I know that this

with you a just consideration and
trust that you will conscientiously
vote for the man, that can best
represent your interest and can

believer of industry on Friday and
Saturday October Oath and 25th
when its citizens gather on the
highways with picks, shovels,
hammers, drills, wag ons and
teams for putting in two days
work upon the roads. This in
compliance to the Governors
proclamation requesting all able
bodied males in the various coun-
ties to put in two days work on
the highways of their respective
counties. There has been an al
most unanimous agreement to
the call tAruout the state to com
ply. County Engineer Marler has
issued fifteen hundred circulars to
our people on the subject, and has
also appointed superintendent or
.overseers to look after getting the
citizens out and to lead in the
work. The many replies the en-
gineer has received indicates that
there will be large turnout and
much good will be accomplished.
The Mt. Vernon Commercial

Tuesday nights meeting and
pledged itself and all member to
not only report for duty on oath
and 18th, and work from 8 a. m.
to 5p. ~. but would visit their
neighbor and friends before
those dates and prevail upon them
to be on hands also.
1t has been suggested that all
people make their purchases from
the stores during the week before
Friday us it is the merchants in
r.tentiop to be in the road gang
welding pick and shovel or doing
some part of the work ~
The unanimity of the favorable
response of the people to the
Governors request indicates there
will be lots of dirt flying on the
above dates.
Let old ROckcastle be up to the
front in this good work.

Campbell Russell will not attempt
the initiation of four subjects in one

amending the constitutional oath. The

the senator says are to follow.
Senator McAlister probably will in

book adoption for two years, accord
ing to his bill which is pending be
fore the senate. If adopted this
would supplant the textbook adop-
tion made by the old board of ed
ucation last July.
