HIS FUNOS CUT OFF BENNETT MUST CUT
 HIS STAFF IN TWO
Highway Commissioners Reduction in Working
 Force Effective Oct. 1.

withp no money appropriated. for new road work this year. Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett will be required to cut in two his staff of 12O engineers and inspectors. The reduction in the working force will be effective October I, when the present fiscal year ends, it was an- nounced by MT. Bennett yesterday.
 In line with the Republican pro- gram of economy the General As sembly slashed from the highway de- partments budget an appropriation on of $2.00O,0OO for new road work. Re- publican leaders indignantly disclafm- ed the imputation that the liberal sIashing was part of a plan to em- barrass the highway commissioner, originally a Democratic appointee, in the really remarkable record he is making in his administration of the highways department
 Between 20 and 30 engineers and 30 inspectors will be affected by the change.

 On April 2, Baron Burian added in exchange for these pledges Austria would give to Italy the districts of Roveredo, Rdva, and Trentino as well as a few villages.
 Signor Sonnino replied that he con sidered these demands contemptible;' nevertheless, they were permitted to stand.
 Rumors of a separate Austro- Rus sian peace persisting, Rome asked Vii enna for a definite answer. In reply, Vienna added small zone in the prov ince of Trent to the Italian compen- Saton- On April 25, the Duke of Avar- na reported that the Austrian govern ment did not believe Italy would make war and that conseq uently Vienna re- garded a continuance of the discus SfOnS as useless.
 On the receipt of this report, Senor Sonnino, considering any accord i'm possible, denounced the alliance with Austria Hungary He said that last summer Austria-Hungary, without reaching any agreement with Italy and without giving Italy any notice even disdaining the advice of Italy that moderation be observed-had sent to Serbia on July g an ultimatum which was the cause of the present con6agration. Thus Austria Hungary had disturbed the status quo in the Balkans creating a situation which was of advantage to herself alone. Esuch a course of violence made benev- olent neutrality impossible for the req son that Austria-Hungary was fight ing to attain an object diametrica1ly opposed to the vital interests of Italy, her ally.
 Nevertheless, s,-for a period of several months Italy endeavored to bring about a situation favorable to the re- establishment of friendly relations be- 1 tween the two COA1ntriess fI1f tfoaSA e- gouations brought practical result. Consequently, the alliance was de- nounced by the Duke of Avarna on May 4. The Duke on this occasion said Italy was confident of her rights and he affirmed to the Austro-Hunga- rfan government that from this mo- ment, Italy resumes entire liberty of action, declaring that her treaty with Austria Hungary is hereby annuIled and without effect

This is the @Thornhill'' Wagon,

The best known materials-the labor
of master workmen-the aid of the most
ingenious modern machinery have been
employed to make the Thornhill wagon
The wheels are made with excessive
care. For the spokes the manufacturers
use the finest hickory-machine driven
to insure the right dish. The hubs are
of oak, thoroughly seasoned and banded
with double refined sable iron.
The holsters are of the best white oak.
They have an iron plate at top and bot

tiplying their strength.
The "Thornhill'' has a malleable front

From 1. Akin, Ky.

We take from the Musical Wis.,
itor the following honest con-
fession of Mr.. l.. Akin, of this
county, which is also a compli.
ment to Rev. 1. M. Grimsley, OF
this county:
Editor Visitor;-As havenev-
er written to the Visitor believe
I'll try one, and if it escapes the
juno pile I'll be surprised. I've
been a blacksmith, a carpenter,
merchant a farmer, an officer,
and now I've got up to a music
teacher of the primary grade
If you will pardon me for using
myself as a subject to write
about, l will relate a joke on my
self about the way found that l
knew nothing about music, l
like to tell this joke because l
learned more than one great les
son from it. The greatest of
these lessons was never to judge
a stranger by his outward ap-
pearance. One Saturday after
noon as l walked into nearby
country store, my eyes met those
of stranger some Is or 20 years
my senior whom | afterwards
learned to be the Rev. l. M.
Grimsley, noted music teacher,
who was on his way home from
Tennessee, where he had been
teaching. l had often heard of
him. He was weary and his
clothes had gotten somewhat
soiled by the long trip he was
making on foot. After viewing
him as being a worthless tramp,
I did not speak at first, because
he and one of my neighbors were
engaged in a conversation con-
corning the prospect of a music
school at our school house. l sat
down upon a nail keg and waited
for a chance to speak and said:
Music is just a short course and
any body can learn it in a short
while" There, of course, he
took me for Smart Eleck,"
and, if he did he didn't miss it
far, either. He looked at me
for awhile with a look of sympa-
thy and slowly said: Friend /
beg to differ with YOU" Well,
this sounded to me like he
thought l didn't know what I
was talking about, so l arose
with some animation and entered
into an argument with him,
which he met with readiness,
and / soon saw that / had met
my superior in the knowledge of
music. But l did not acknowl-
edge that to him, but quit the
argument and stood back. He
