Good Roads in Pontotoc County


On Saturday a delegation from
Tupelo went to ,Pontotoc to at.
tend a good roads convention
called for the purpose of consid-
ering the question of construct
ing good roads in that county.
There was good crowd present
at the courthouse at II O'Clock
when the meeting was called to
order.
Following the organization ad-
dresses were made upon the sub
ject of good road construction
which claimed the attention OF
the crowd.
At the afternoon session a
petition was presented asking
the Board of Supervisors to issue
bonds to construct roads in the
fourth supervisors district.
There was strong disposition
manifested to sign the petition
by those residing in that district
and the list can be easily ex-
tended to the required number
of signers.
Pontotoc county is rich in
valuable farming land and
should no longer be isolated by
failure to build good roads. The
county contains as fine farming
lands as can be found in the
State and the people are able to
pay the small amount of taxes
necessary to construct these
roads. The value of good roads
has been demonstrated in her
sister counties and it is evident
that Pontotoc will no longer lag
behind in a movement that is
meeting with favor in practically
every county of the state. There
are some, as are found every
where, who are opposed to any
expenditure of money for the
Improvement of her roads but
after the first five miles of road
has been constructed it will then
become question of how much
money they can procure to ex-
tend them. That has been the
case in this county and in every
other county where the move
ment is on. We believe that the
fourth district will build roads
across it and that the third sup
ervisors district will extend those
roads to the Lafayette county
line. The latter county has al
ready begun work, we understand
on her roads, and will meet Pom
totoc at her western boundary.
With these roads constructed
the value of all lands through
which the roads pass will be
more than doubled within the
first twelve months.
The section will rapidly fill up
with desirable purchasers of
lands who will be ready and will
ing to pay good prices for every
acre that is put on the market.
The county is to be congratulated
that the movement to build good
roads is on foot and every good
citizen should endorse the move
ment and aid in making a sue
cess Of the project.

definite conclusion about how
the convention should proceed,
explaining that one supervisors
district could be incorporated in
to a good roads district, or the
whole county could be included
just as the citizens of the differ
ent districts desired.
Mayor D. w. Robins, of Tupe-
10 was then called upon and ex-
planned fully the methods to be
pursued and the necessary re.
quirements in order to secure a

PREVENT
RIOT ON STREETS
Half crazed Man Is Pursued by
Angry Mob-Puts Up Battle
With Policeman.

Only the prompt work of the police
prevented near riot on the downtown
streets yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock when an Infatuated crowd of
citizens chased a drink crazed man
almost to the doors of the police sta
ton, after the fugitive had bombarded
them with bficks and bottles. This
morning the prisoner, who gave his
name as Jack Moran, was released.
According to members of the crowd,
Moran, who was in Spencer square, ap-
parently lost all control of himself
and began to throw brickbats at De-
destrians, who Immediately gave
chase. The fugitive ran west on Fourth
avenue, north on Seventeenth street
and shot into the alley between Third
and Fourth avenues with the mob in
close pursuit. The chase was con.
tinued almost to the police station,
when Officer Kirsch ran out and
grabbed Moran, who kicked and
screamed at the mob. The prisoner
refused to accompany the officer
peaceably and hand to hand strug,
gle ensued. Three men standing by
were forced to come to the aid of the
officer, and the bad man was only
gotten to a cell with the greatest diff.
ficulty. 1t is believed that Moran
had been drinking heavily and was
not responsible for his actions.

DEATH A FAILURE
FOR ABUSED Wife
Husband Comes Back as
Shade" to Argue With His
Spouse and Is Repulsed.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 17.-Life's little
limitations persist even after death.
The shade of departed husband may
return to bicker with his spouse. And
she may argue with him and, as in
life. have the last word just by leav-
ing the medium
This was thoroughly demonstrated
at the meeting last night of the Ma
tional Spiritualists' association. More
than 500 persons who crowded the
ballroom at Hotel LaSalle were the
witnesses.
An aged woman wearing heavy
mourning was leaving the meeting
while Mrs. Zaida Brown Hates of
Washfn gton, D. c., was speaking for
the spirits and, at that particular mo-
ment, telling the friends of Jack Null.
lin that his shade was there.
Just a minute, DEAR" called the
medium to the elderly woman. IAN.
other spirit is interrupting me. Your
your husband is on the other side, is
he not?"
YES" admitted the woman in
mourning.
He is here. He is right there back
of you. / see him right back of you"
continued the medium. And he forced
you out into the rain. He tells me
he made you come here tonight that
he might talk to you. He made you

come in the rain, and you didn't want
to-
ooh, don't know that he did"
argued the elderly woman. 81 didn't
like the rain, but l just wanted to
come. So l came, anyway"
Possibly the shade didn't want to
argue with his wife, right there be-
fore so many people At any rate
the medium said:
well, dear, he lis there with you
as you pass out"
And the elderly woman in mourning
left the meeting Her daughter was
with her and both were smiling.
Then Mrs. Hates continued talking
for Jack Mullin. To his friends she
said:
"Golly, know I could reach you, "
and regarding some mining stock his
friends had purchased he said: Hang
on to the papers, Anna. They will
mean more by and by"
The spirit of Mary Stewart, whom
the medium explained died of paralysis
said: IF anyone ever told me l was
coming In the spirit state to a spirit
ualist meeting I would have told him
he was insane. But I'm here"
The talking of spirits was not the
strangest part of the program, how
ever. Mrs. Elizabeth Harlow-Goetz OF
