School for Road Builders.

The great sums of money now be-
ing expended In Tennessee for better
roads, warrants the state university
in giving course of lectures on road
building, adapted to the needs Of coun-
ty engineers, supervisors, secretaries
of county road commissions, contract
ors, members of county courts, and In
deed all citizens Of the state who are
interested in securing better roads for
the money expended. A good roads
school would be beneficial in the op-
portunity for exchange Of ideas. But
with the leadership of men of large
experience who have been asked to de-
liver lectures, the highway engineers
of the state have offered a rare oppor-
tunity which they cannot afford to
miss. No fees will be charged for at
tendance.
Instruction will be given by mem
bers of the regular faculty of the uni.
versity, assisted by strong corps Of
leading men in road building from
other states.

(Ncwberry Observer

About two months ago a farmer Of
the Knard's section brought two
home-cured hams to town to sell
them; one weighed SO pounds, the
other 40. Numbers of persons
wanted them, but did not have the
wherewithal. One man offered his
house and lot in town as part pay
ment. with his personal note for the
balance; but the farmer wanted the
cash, and a house and lot in town
had no attractions for him.
The hams have been hanging up in
leading store in town since they
were brought in, but there have been
no takers.
The fact seems to be that nobody
in Newberry has money enough to
buy hams Of that size.
