presence of mind, he raised up and
the train struck him, knocking him
off the bridge to the embankment

Worked to Contrary

Last year the Agricultural College
advised the farmers to SOW their
wheat late and in this way avoid
damage by the Hessian fly. Farm
ers who went according to the ad-
vice now wish they had done other
wise as she late sown wheat is the
hardest hit.
E. S. Hampton, one of Monroe
cOunty's prosperous farmers, says
that his spring wheat is practically
ruiEed, but that he intends to leave
it stand so that anyone desiring to
see the effect the fly had on it may
do so. Murley Tooley has plowed
under all his spring wheat.
]. H. Bell went contrary to the
advice and sowed early and his
wheat has been practically untouch-
ed. 1t seems as though the college
is apt to be mistaken as well as
anyone else and the farmers here
abouts would like to know what
they have to say in regard to the
matter.

HAS TAME SESSION.
City Council Meet in Regular Session
and Attend to Routine Duties.

Friday evening the city council
met in regular session in the council
chambers and after the regular rou-
tine of work was disposed of the
paving proposition was given con-
sideration
Resolution have been published
and within the next few days it is
expected. unless unforeseen difficult
ties arise, that work will commence
on Main and Vine and portion Of
North Border Streets These streets
will be macadamized, in other words
they will be covered with small
broken stones so as to form a
smooth, hard. convex surface. On
Summer Streets two blocks will be
paved with concrete.
1t is a question in the mind of
some people as to whether concrete
pavement is better than macadam.
If a street is paved the work on that
street is practically at an end for
years to come, while with the rock
or macadam street the work is
hardly begun. as it is necessary
that it be always in tirst-class con-
dition and to keep it this way
means work.
To begin with the macadam road
or street is far the cheaper. but
whether it will prove so in the long
run is another question.
| When Monroe City gets thestreets
paved and all the obnoxious weeds
cut therefrom she will be we'll able
to point to her streets with pride.
| AS they are now they are disgrace
but this is realized The city can
hardly be blamed for the conditions
of the streets, for only a few months
back they were in first class condi-
ton, but to make a very necessary
improvement, the installing of the
water works, they were utterly put
on the bum.
Go to it business men and prop
erty owners and show the towns
surrounding what real live little
city can accomplish in the way Of
improvement.

Howdy.

1t is generally the rule when a
new editor takes hold of a paper for
him to come out with longwinded
article about his predecessor and
then his own intentions, etc. This
article is not going to be longwind-
ed. Former Editor Rouse, who is
now postmaster, found the duties of
steering the Democrat and the post
office little bit more than man
with only two hands could manage
and in prognosticatins around for a
man to handle the steering gear of
the Democrat he landed on the
writer hereof. 1t is aquestion wheth-
er we will make a success of the pa
per or not, and we want your loyal
support. 1t will be the endeavor of
the Democrat to print news when
it is news. and only such as will be
of benefit. Fights. police court and
stuff of like character will not be
handled unless absolutely necessary.
That is a kind of news that does no
one any good, does not help the
town and only does harm in more
ways than one. Very few men fight
or get into police court because they
want to; it is either an accident or a
case of temper and what is the use
of Haunting some one elses misfOr-
tune for the benefit of a few. We
are going to boost for Monroe City
and every thing pertaining thereto
and we need and want your assist
ance. To Mr.. Rouse, the predecessor
nothing will need be said as you all
know him and his. and the writer
hereof wishes him success in his
present occupation. Yours truly,
James Sutton,
Editor and Business Manager.
