 Now the road question has been a hobby" for many to ride into office and 1 thi nk more errors have been made in this line of legislation than of any I know of.
 In 1881 (33 years ago) 1 was in East Tennessee and found there good macadam roads with toll gate" system and found lands there very high. l came back to Jackson, Tenn and found there dirt roads kept up by road hands under an over seer system. Found there, bad roads and cheap lands. l was back in Jackson, Tenn, last winter and found good macadam roads, well oiled, running five miles in every direction from Jackson and had the pleasure of riding over them and found lands had increased in value there to six hundred per cent and new up to date little city. 1 was in Memphis last month and found good pike roads for twenty miles beyond city limits and splendid driveways and streets through and around the city which make t :; good place to live.

 There is plenty of best road rock in the Little Red and White river country easy accessible to the river and the railroads. This rock could be transported to convenient and accessible points for road purposes and why not do it and have permanent roads? :?
 Now the road tax had been a detriment thus far to good roads.
 We should have a more con- prehensive system -one built on broader, more progressive plans and safer too. 1 would rather see a good rock road through our county than to have a good rail- road through it. It means far more.

scnqoL RALLY AT BANNER


 Oneof the biggest and most enjoyable rural school meetings ever held;in the country occurred at the Banner school house on last sFriday afternoon and evening".
 Thei occasion was @ meeting in friendly rivalry of the Banner and Allendale schools.
 The writer was picked up at Keevil by 9 train of five farm wagons which conveyed the pupilsand friends at the Allen dale school to the place of meet ing. Each wagon was loaded to its utmost capacity with real live young Americans; as the wagons slowly wended their way along the country road, waving flags, ,snatches of song and lusty yells stold everybody, far and near. that something unusual was Happening.
 Anticipating the arrival of the visiting school. the pupils of the Banner school were waving flags and with pent up enthusiasm were lined up in the school yard and were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the visitors and the signal to give a welcoming yell. The expected signal was given and mighty yell burst forth which was responded to with a hearty good will by the visitors and all immediately entered the house to witness the contest in Spelling, Map Drawing, Singing and Quotations. The contests were spirited and showed thorough preparation. The spirit of envy and ridicule which characterizes so many contests was entirely absent.
 Two games of basket ball gave the necessarY amount of physical exercise. during the afternoon and prepared all to appreciate the bountiful supper which was spread at the proper time. picnic fashion,- a.A.
 After supper, a School Im- provement Association was organized s. L: Bickerstaff was elected President, Mr. Donovan, Vice President and John Patter- son, Secretary Treasurer.
 The closing feature of the program was 8 Spelling contest, school against school.
 The whole program was thoroughly enjoyable and the teachers. Messrs Laney and Spears and Mrs. Throckmorton, who arranged for and success fully conducted this rally deserve much credit

Ar THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Sunday was one of the best days ever held in history of the Brinkley Presbyterian church. The influence of the gracious, sweet spirit of the retiring pastor, Jonathan Williams, was marked. In his farewell service surrounded by the brethern and pastors of the other churches of the city he received five new members and in 10 minutes time raised about $500 (which amount. has since grown several hundred dollars) for a new manse for the Brinkley church. Jonathan Williams will long be remember ed and his memory revered and loved by the members.
 The congregation has called ". r. Thurman, of Hope. He has accepted the call and will move to Brinkley in time to fill his appointment for Easter Sunday, April, 18th.
 On Sunday morning at Il o'clock Dr. McNutt of the Home Mission Board, of New York, will preach. Come hear him.

sion a school tax of seven mills
was voted and q road tax Of
three and one-half mills. One
mill Of this amount will be used
in opening up the Fall street
ard the most Of the balance will
be used to build the Cape street
road to Agate Beach. This is a
very expensive piece of road to
build and It will take $4,000 to
$4,000 to build it. AS taxes are
already too high it would have
been much better TO have let this
part of the road rest until times
get better and use the beach.
The beach from Monterey to
Agate Beach is most always
clear.

ton day. The day was fine and
