COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE.

II. K. Bryson of Fayetteville,
Lincoln county, has been appoint
ed commissioner of agriculture
to succeed 7. f. Peck. Mr.. Bry-
son is a practical farmer and a
successful business man. His
friends predict that he will rem
der the people of the state valu-
able service in this department.
The appointment of Mr.. Bryson,
however, came somewhat as a
su rprise as it was expected the
place would be given to Col.
Thompson, former commissioner
of agriculture. or to Joel B. Fort
both of whom were applicants.
1t will be remembered Mr.. Fort
is the gentleman who made the
speech at the barbecue and rally
on Defeated Creek during the
campaign last fall in which, as
he expressed it. he shot the
feathers off of Hooper.
Capt. Peck, the retiring com
missioner, in one paragraph of
his final statement speaks en-
couragingly of the work of the
farmers: .'The farmers of the
state look upon their vocation
with pride. They are realizing
the possibilities of farming when
intelligently carried on. They
are not so antagonistic to scien-
tific farming. They are eager
for information and the country
press has done much to dissent
nate helpful information. Alto
gether, everything is looking
good for agriculture in Tennes-
see.

Cumberland county has fallen
into the ranks os progress and is
going to spend 800. 600 in the
construction of good roads, The
county court of that county met
in an extra session recently and
voted bonds sor the above amount
and the building of the roads
will begin at once. While Cum
berland county is situated in the
poorest agricultural section of
the state it must be said taat it
is one of the richest counties in
public spiritedness, and it's citi-
zens are to be commended for
their undertaking in the. con-
struction of modern and passable
highways. Our neighboring
counties are surprising us in the
matter of constructing good
roads, a fact we should deplore.
We are far more able to eKpend
the necessary amount Tor the
construction of good roads than
are Putnam and Cumberland
counties but the trouble is we
are suffering from contentedness.
If the construction of good roads
in Smith County could ever once
get started the citizens would
fall solidly in line behind the
work and all would be gratified
that the movement was inaugu-
rated. There is not county in
the state where the people take
more pride in their individual
property than do the people of
Smith county. Our lands, homes,
barns and fences are kept in the
best of condition but when it
comes to improving the public
highways properly we fall short.
Surely, though, it won't be long
until our people will employ some
system for the construction of
good roads.
