GOOD INDICATIONS FOR
ROAD MOVEMENT.

There in an infallible sign that the
movement for better roads in Pike
county is popular. This unmistakable
sign is that II has knockers, which,
fortunately, are few. The knocking
spirit has developed against every
move for civic Improvement In the
county's history, especially where the
move has been successful Its APP
pearance now while the movement is
young and well understood il re-
garded as forerunner OF It's ultimate
success II now only requires the con-
currence Of all the people Of the county
with the authorities who strongly
favor better roads. and highways will
speedily be built that will pay for
themselves by making transportations
with wagons, etc, easier and conse-
quently cheaper.

METHooIsTS WILL PREVAIL,
SAYS REYNOLDS.

Worship at the First NJ. +. Church at
Pikeville has been suspended for
several months on account of litiga-
ton over the building contract of the
new church which was erected here
two years ago. This church is yet in
debted to the building in large sum
due to the failure of payment of GER
tain sums of money subscribed. Rev.
NJ. c. Reynolds. who has been perform
ing the duties of pastor OF the church
for several months, took very hope
full view of the conditions surround
ing the church in his sermon Sunday
evening, and said that his church was
not place for pessmists, and that
as for his personal self, he could not
be discouraged. He said that mil
lions of souls had been saved through
the work of the Methodist Church
in the past, and that II would yet be
instrumental in saving millions more,
and that If 1t were not permitted to
the faithful of Pikeville church to
worship in the magnificent new build
ing erected for the purpose, they would
use a wood shed or any suitable place
that came handy, and that they were
not to be deprived Of their religion or
OF communal worship by having their
church temporarily taken away from
them. There will always be a Metho
dist Church at Pikeville he said He
urged these reverses as a reason for a
still greater devotion to the Methodist
cause, and asked the prayerful help Of
every member in restoring the church
to its former condition of popularity
and religious usefulness.

ceived the administration of the bap-

Three young men whose ages range
| from 16 to 81, were arrested at Shell
biana last Saturday following the con-
| fession OF fourth upon a charge OF
| having broken into five cars on the
| C. * O.yard there in search of whiskey
/ and tobacco. Seven cars in all were
broken into, according to employees OF
I the company, in July, and the confess
ion accounts for five of them.
According to the youth who confess
ed to have participated in the crime,
the quartet learned that a car load
of whiskey consigned to Spartansburg
South Carolina, was lying over night on
the Shelby yard, and they determined
to have some of II. He says they met
by appointment after night on the yard
and as no one would volunteer to I'M
dertake the job, two of their number
were selected by lot, and that deck
Of cards was used for the purpose.
They entered FIVE cars successfully, ac-
cording to the youth, but failed to find
the right car laden with whiskey.
Meantime the other boys stood guard
over the operation. Finding the search
Improbable. they left the yard fearing
detection taking with them only a few
peaches as booty
The attempt was discovered and re-
ported to the authorities at Pikeville
the next morning, but no trace OF the
would-be robbers could be found.
Officials kept contant search for in
formation that would lead to the con-
viction of the right parties; but with
out success until last Saturday. II is
said Lewis Stewards, resident OF
Shelbiana, by some means discovered
who the youthful robbers were, and on
his recommendation one OF their num-
Der came to Pikeville and made com
plete confession under promise of inn
munity for himself The other three
boys were locked and taken into Gus
tody few hours after the warrant for
their arrest had been placed in the
hands of deputy Sheriffs w. f. Mullins
and James Mccoy All three were
placed in the Pikeville Jail to await a
hearing of their case.
They were released under bond Of
500 each for Judge Stallard's court
to appear in response to whatever
charge the grand jury may find against
