After being silent as long as
possible, we will open up on the
dipping of cattle for ticks.
The people of this section are in
a general way not in favor of the
installation of a dipping plant; how.
ever, 1t would meet with no serious
objection here as we are barred or
one side of us from the sale oil
cattle of any kind as we are liners
to Tennessee, and across the Ten
nessee line the law compels dip
ping of cattle. We are therefore
at disadvantage out here with
our neighbors in Tennessee. We
can buy from them, but we can
not sell them cattle or, mich COWS.
Whereas, If we were dipping our
cattle we could often command a
better price than at present. We are
compelled to accept the offer of
a cattle buyer in Iuka or Corinth
and then deliver the cattle. The
writer would gladly accept
the dipping process and no com
plant.

BAD ROADS KILLED HER

A few years ago a beautiful
woman in the prime of life lay suf-
fering upon sick bed in a rural
community.
1t was imperative that she have
a physician at once.
The hired man was dispatched
for one in haste.
He made the best time possible.
bnt the roads were muddy, and
bad, and cut up, and travelling at
best was very slow.
He lost much time in going, and
the physician was equally delayed
in his progress.
After many hours he finally
reached the side of the sufferer.
But death had beaten him, for
death had no bad roads to cover.
Had the physician reached her
little sooner her life could have

we are now paying in the road

a small tax to maintain these roads
but when we get our road system
properly established the county
prisoners will be more than suf-
ficient to keep our roads in good
repair.
/ have been confronted by a
huge cry from a great many in
regard to an increased taxation.
You can see by this plan that YOU
are going to have roads you can
travel every day in the year and
that your roads are going to cost
you less money and that your taxes
will be less than at the present
time.
Now. Mr.. Farmer. this is not
guess. but actual facts as proven
in the counties of your state where
they have these roads, and where
in less than a days time you can
goiand see for yourself, as we'll as
nearly every other state in the
Union.
Next week we will endcavor to
demonstrate to you the cost of
bad roads. Now don't let the
candidates do all the thinking on
this proposition. Think for your
selves and try to figure out for
just how little you are
getting for the money you are
paying out and ask yourself if you
don't think it about time that you
begin to get something for your
money.
Cause the candidates, each and
every one to show you on which
side of this proposition he stands.

But he did his best, and bad
roads did the rest.
Bad roads killed this woman.
And bad roads are killing others
every day in like manner.
Now isn't this compelling
argument in favor of better
country roads2 Or is the life of a
human being of less value than
the cost of a few dollars spent in
road Improvement
A member of your own family
may furnish the subject for the
next story, brother. Best think it
over.

Governor Whitman's Backbone.

Governor CHARLES s. WHITMAN in
cOrporates in his anatomy a back
bone of admirable perpendicularity
and excellent resistant quality. Were
he not the possessor Of such a spinal
column he would not have dismissed
the charges against the four Public
Service Commissioners of This district.
1t required a highly commendable
courage and a stubbornness OF will
not too frequently associated with
public once and political ambition TO
deny the demands Of Republican hun.
ger which clamored for these sustain
ing offices.
Mr.. WHITMAN was urged by the
situation Of his party, the aspirations
OF its leaders. the animosities Of in
fuential interests to extrude Mr.. Nc.
CALL and his associates from their
Jobs. His authority in the promises
was unlimited. Had he found them
guilty OF inefficiency, neglect and mis-
conduct in Office, his decision would
not have been subject to review, and
he could have counted on enthusias.

majority Of his fellow partisans and
by a not negligible body of men who
nurse a personal enmity against those
who would have been his victims. The
