The former committees were con-
tinued to act until discharged.
Mr.. Cresop, of Okolona, Miss, was
present, and said that he had super
intended the building of 40 miles of
public roads around Okolona, had
used gravel from both Tams, III. and
Iuka, Miss, and the cost averaged
about $4,000 a mile. The grading
comprised about twenty per cent of
the cost, the gravel about one dollar
per ton delivered.
Mr.. Selmo Harris said that he is
in favor of better roads. He had had
considerable experience and appre-
ciated the difference between pixies
and dirt roads. He favored the con-
struction of macadam roads in the
county and said that he was more
than willing to pay his part of the
cost.
w. C. Kelly stated that he had
visited and inspected the roads of
Madison County. The citizens of
that county have 65 miles of gravel
roads and 1870 miles of graded roads,
ready for the gravel. The first bond
issue was 100000 and an addition
al issue of 100000 was made. The
tax on these bonds is only "a cents
on the one hundred dollars of tax
able property. The Madison County
gravel roads were built under the
direction of Mr.. Lancaster, who was
one of the Government experts, and
these roads are standing to-day
practically intact with a nominal
cost of upkeep. Mr.. Kelly further
stated that standard gravel roads
could be built in Obion County for
$4,000 a mile, covering all expenses
complete. The gentleman is civil
engineer himself and understands
what he is talking about. And when
it is considered that the half of this
cost for mainline roads will be pro-
vided for in the new bill to be en-
acted on by the Legislature the pros
poets of attracting the attention of
the voters of the county to gravel
roads is very good indeed. Anyway
the subject is to be taken up at the
meeting to be held at the courthouse
Feb 25, and with this the meeting
adjourned.

FRIDAYS ROAD MEETING
WITH COMMITTEE REPORTS
County Road Meeting Called to be
Held Feb. Is.

The road meeting held at the
courthouse last Friday to receive the
reports of committees was called to
order by chairman S. R. Bratton,
and Attorney F. J. Smith reported
as to the legal status of forming a
taxing district of the Thirteenth
Civil District.
The report showed that the Su
preme Court of the State had held
adversely in such cases. Judge
Neil's opinion, which was the ma
jority decision, was that only coun-
ties and municipalities within the
State could assess taxes and issue
bonds for public improvements, that
to establish any other territory as a
taxing district for public improve
ments is imposing an unequal bur-
den upon the citizens thereof and is
therefore unconstitutional. To es-
tablish a taxing district of the civil
district, Mr.. Smith explained, would
impose an unequal tax burden upon
the citizen whose land bordered the
line of such road improvements,
insofar as those people who lived
outside of the lines and adjoining
such road improvements made use of
them without taxation. The resi-
dent who objected to this plan would
also have no equities in the matter,
and so it would be without purpose
to consider road improvements under
such a plan.
Asked as to drainage districts, Mr..
Smith replied that this character of
taxation came under a different con-
struction of the law. The drainage
district takes care only of private
property, and as such only the prop
erty owners in such district are
benefited, the provisions of same
therefore being constitutional.
The chairman of the meeting, Mr.
Bratton, said that this report was a
great disappointment to him.
Mr.. O. Spradlin, however rose and
stated that he was just as eager for
the county to build roads and that,
though the district proposition was
checked he felt no lowering of the
road spirit or wane of enthusiasm.
On the other hand his road interest
had gone up ninety per cent. He
stated that after further reflection
it was better for everybody concern
ed that the county take up the work
of improved road construction and
make it general thing. He be-
lieved that the people of Obion
County are awake to the Importance
of better roads and would take a SEN
sible view of the matter. He there
fore offered motion for a meeting
Of the citizens of the county, which
is called on another page of the pa
per, be held at the courthouse in

Don't Rob GirIhood of It's Charm by Posing

TNHE average girl goes through :. her.
 fads as she does through her dress es, but there is one habit, if she hap pens to run into it. which may leave a lasting impression on her character. This is the habit of posing. It really is nothing but a habit, usually incurred at about eighteen or nineteen.
 We all know the girl who is con- stant1y posing. She never sits in a chair in a normal erect attitude, but needs must drape herself around it in an artistic but thoroughly unnatural posture. She cannot stand erect to chat with a person, but finds some wall or fireplace against which she can lean in a conspicuously negligent way. If any one has ever told her she has 8 good profile she will assume Nazimova poses, her chin up, her profile outlined against a. dark background if possible. E This is the girl who poses, and any mother who allows her daughter to be- gin this habit does not know what she is letting herself in for or she would never give way to this hobby. Many a present day poser might have been a thoroughly delightful and natural girl if she had been told in time the absurdities of this custom.
 But posing like other habits, grows from a mere idle pastime to an over bearing master. and the girl who once posed for fun ends up by thinking of little else except her postures. This really is not exaggerated, as any read CT who knows a poser can tell.
 The habit usually begins the last year of school and can be quickly disposed of if attacked at the start by it's nat ural enemy-rfdicu1e. Every one of us is sensitive to ridicule, and if the poser is made fun of at the beginning she will soon drop the habit But if it is allowed to grow no amount of ridicuIe
 VI II dis1odge it in the end, for the poser w1ll never be able to see the justice of the shafts aimed at her and will att tribute them all to jealousy.

Are You a Reed, and Are

 A little story in one of the magazines is written by a woman who possesses the saving sense of humor. She pic lures a girl of a type seen freauentIy- the girl who takes herself seriously and wins comniseration from the start. She is in love, which furnishes the little touch of nature that makes all in love with love, but fancies single individual has wrought for her this divine miracle
 She writes a poem expressing the eathlessness of afrection-an affec- tion which. however, lasts a scant three years, and then, as she wonder zng1y speaks of the disif1usionment:
 Its strange that @ person-ors a thing can mean so much to you and then. in such a little while. mean noth- ing at aIl-'s
 Two other anairs follow in due time with poems equally expressive; then the girl discovers the very painful truth about herself:
 You are a reed for God to make mu- stc through; that is alLy
 And the girl big enough to grasp the signihcance, answered:
 eAfter all. a reed is all right in its place. if only it knows it is a reed and hollow

of self! She is so much more popular with girls and men alike than the poser, who may attract temporarily, but fails to be able to hold the atten- ton long. NaturaIness is girlhood's greatest charm, and the silly girl who thinks she must always strike a pose wherever she may be should learn to think more of others and their interests than of how5sh looks at all times.

 Striped muslins are also used as collar and cuffs and breast pockets, also for whole waists. In truth. the striped blouse in silk and lawn is the fashion most featured at the moment.
