Contractor Boyd who is under
contract to construct good roads
from the Lee county line to Big.
bee river was in Tupelo Tuesday.
Mr. Boyd will soon have his
equipment on the ground and the
work will be pushed as rapillty
as possible. The money is now
avilable and nothing except un-
favorable weather will hinder
the progress of the work. The
three miles of wax roads be-
tween the Lee county line and
Dorsey is the most difficult part
of the task and this end of the
line will be the first to be COM
pleted. The other part of the
road will require considerable
more grading but the section it
covers can be constructed with
out much difficulty regardless of
the weather. With this road
completed an avenue will have
been opened to some very fine
territory and the winter business
with Itawamba county will not
be interrupted by bad roads.

members present and officers OF
the court in their respective
places. The docket was well
filled with routine business. The
matter of letting the contract for
grading the roads of the second
district was taken up and the
contract was let to jim Long who
was declared the lowest and best
bidder. He entered into the
bond for a faithful discharge of
the contract. There are 35 miles
to be graded and work will begin
as soon as hands can be placed
on the road. The Board accept
ed a bid of a month ago for the

NITINSKI SHOCKS PARIS
WITH TENNIS DANCE
Episode in New Ballet Called Needlessly Mer-
etricious-CIaude Debussys Music for
Pantomime Highly Appreciated.
tBy Cable to The Tribune. !

Paris, May 17.-"Jeux" C'Play'), a
lyric pantomimic poem, with music
composed by Claude Debussy. scenario
by Nijinsk, produced at the Theatre
des Champs Elysees. is a game Of tennis
set TO music and performed by dancers.
II elected enthusiastic applause, min
gled with half dozen emphatic pro-
testations against a situation at the
close Of the ballet deemed needlessly
meretricious. Nijinski, attired in white
flannel and with a tennis racket in his
hand, dances in a golden sunset, with
zebra like bounds and with the plastic
poses OF a faun, all expressive Of his
devotion TO a girl in a white tennis
costume When his gyrations about
the tennis court and the shrubbery and
trees culminate in kiss, another girl,
also In a white tennis costume exc
cutes a frantic dance. expressive OF
the paroxysms Of jealousy. The triple
dance continues and develops feelings
which induce both the girls to consent
10 share their mutual tenderness
toward the fascinating dancer. The
spectacle closes with a triangular
group, in which the gallant tennis
champion and the two girls pose in
group forming the letter Y.
A great novelty was this ballet and
the delicious music of Debussy, In
which the string instruments in the
orchestra predomnate. was keenly ap-
preciated. one captious Partisan critic
however. Paul Souday. declares that
this Russian ballet is far too rigid and
Reometrical. and Is to choregraphic art
what cubism is 10 painting.
In recently published interview
NijinsN pointed out that not only ten
