The school house at Harmon
Greek burned Thursday night of
last week between 10 and IL o'clock.
The house was built and furnished
only last year, and was one of the
best rural school buildings in the
county. The citizens of Harmon
Greek are agreed that it was an in
cendiary of malicious design. This
is the second school house that has
been burned at that place in recent
years, and it is hardly probable
that an attempt to rebuild there
again will be made for many years
to come.
The draw span of the bridge Of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis Railway at Johnsonville
gave way yesterday morning, carry
ing with it the boarding car of q
passing construction train. The
occupants of the car, Orval O'Den-
nell and wife, were drowned, and
their 9 year-old daughter, who sus-
tanned a fractured leg, was res
cued from the car as it drifted
down the stream. Members of the
train crew were more or less in
jured. The accident happened
when the crane of steam shovel
struck the overhead part of the
draw bridge. j. O. Florence of
Camden, night operator at John
sonville, was on the train returning
home, but escaped injury. Train
and mail service will be delayed
until repairs have been made on
the bridge.
The good roads spirit received
an impetus here this week, and
good results are noticeable on the
Camden and Cooley Landing Road
on the section from the corpora
ton to Ridley Hill. We believe
the Farmers Union could serve no
better purpose in Benton County
than to inaugurate an active and
aggressive campaign for better
roads. Surely, if any one is con-
cerned about good roads it is the
farmer, and through it's organize
ton the members of the union are
in position to make themselves
felt in worthy cause. Instead of
putting money in an enterprise
that will benefit some other county
or State and provide good berths
for "the other fellows" why not
invest it at home in good roads
and benefit all alike? We would
like to have articles on the subject
from some of our enterprising far
mers. Make your articles brief
and to the point.
It's up to the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen to have the weeds
