NOTHING AGAINST SMITH!

As an argument against Major w.
W. Smith of this city, who is a can
didate for the senate, the editor of
the Redwood Sun says Mr.. Smith is
banker and an appointee of Gov.
Eberhart. Mr.. STAIRS candidate for
governor is a banker and none of his
opponents are fool enough to use that
against him. AS to the appointment
of Major Smith as a member of the
state efficiency commission, he was
placed here not for political reasons,
but on the fact that he was a sue
cessful business man of large expert
ence and was capable and honest. Be
fair in this matter, Brother Starr

Good Road Work.

AS previously arranged by the
commercial club at a meeting
held some time ago, the work OF
grsveling the roads on the west
side of the river has commenced
and much good work is being
done. t
Monday of this week the roads
were dragged, under the direc'
ton of Will Hope, who has
charge of the work, then teams
were put to halling gravel and
distributing along the road, these
teams being owned by the farm
ers of the west side who volun-
tered and are glad of the oppor-
tunity to help fix the road in a
first class condition, while the
wagons are loaded by hands
from this city,
When the work is completed
the public will have a model
piece of road and one to be proud
of.

Miss Buckley Entertain S

Miss M. Beryl Buckley, of the
city high school lecture course,
was here Monday night at the
opera house and gave one of the
best numbers that has ever been
presented in this city by lyceum
course entertainers.
She is a good elocutionist and
entertainer and done her part
well. Those who missed this en-
tertsinment missed a treat, for
such does not come this way
very often.
The next number Of the course
will be presented February 2nd,
by the Keliog Haynes Co., and
this also promises to be q mighty
good one.

Answering an inquirer who
desires to know if there has ever
been Baptist president Of the

not. There have been eight
Episcopalians: Washington,
Madison, Monroe, VIM. Henry

and Arthur. There have been
six Presbyterians; jackson,
Polk, Buchanan, Lincoln, Cleve-

been added Woodrow Wilson.
There has been four Methedists; /;
Johnson, Grant, Hayes, and Nc
