To Vote on Contract

The vote on whether or not
the city is to enter into a ten year
contract with the Cropper light
plant is to be had at the special
election called for May 81. On
this date the people will vote on
the issuance of the 20 year
franchise and also on a separate
ballot whether or not the city
will enter in to the contract to
take lights of the new light
plant to cost per month about
$40. At the same election there
is to be had a vote on whether
the city will take charge of the
Price Park. The title to the park
is now held by M. W. Anderson,
C. P. Thrash and H. c. Miller
as park trustees. If the city
votes in favor of the proposition
the title will be transferred tc
the city. This makes three i'm
portant questions to be submit
ed to the people on that date.

miles west of Keytesville Mon
day evening according to pre-
vious arrangements, The drive
out was enjoyed by everyone,
AS we looked over the beautiful
fields that are 20 productive, we
could but soliloquize why do
people leave this county to seek
home elsewhere? By the care
full driving and attention of Mr..
Albert Hancock, we soon reach
ed our destination, Mrs. Bayne
in her true southern style held
out her heart and hand and well
coined US. We felt that it was
good to be with her. The at
tendance was large and we were
also greeted by the Dalton repre-
sentatives of our U. D. C's. We
are always so glad to have them
with US. The refreshments serv-
ed were excellent. Everyone
seemed to do justice to theil
we'll filled plates. It was with
reluctance we turned our faces
homeward. We will ever believe
the evening spent with Mrs
Bayne, will be an oasis in desert
of our lives.

w. A. Brown Dead

W. A. Brown who had both
feet frozen near Dalton last
winter, died at the county In
firmary of tuberculosis Thurs
day night of last week. Brown
was a young man of 35 years.
He seemed to be q big healthy
man when the incident occurred
that finally caused the amputa-
ton of one foot and also the
other foot and part of the leg.
Brown was drunk at the time ne
wandered out in the open near
Dalton and was nearly frozen to
death when found. It is thought
that the exposure the time he
got frozen caused the complica.
ton of tuberculosis. There, was
some mystery connected with
the life of Brown who never
told anything of himself except
ing that he was born in Spring.
field, Mass. Just before he died
Superintendent Davenport Of
the Infrmary tried to get him to
tell something Of his past OF
give the name of his folks SC
that they might be notified Of
his death. IF you knew how
much trouble there had been ir
our family you would not want
to add any more'', said the mar
and he steadfastly refused tt
say ANYTHING further than that
his folks lived in a suburb Of
Springfield. Thus with Brown
goes another of the untold
stories of a wasted life, a lift
with little or nothing to show il
its favor, death at the early ag'
of S5,, probably acceptable L
the ruined man.

One In Three

The county Court is to be
highly commended for its action
at its last term in the matter of
so placing the publication of the
financial statement as to give
the greatest number of tax
payers the opportunity to know
where the money comes from
and what it is spent for.
The Brunswicker, Courier and
Press Spectator will publish each
year this statement instead Of
its appearance in one of FIVE
papers each year. The cost to
the county will be just the same
as charged for by one paper, and
surely at least three times as
many win have the opportunity
to become informed.
Everybody will or should en-
dorse the business view of this
matter taken by the court.

playing their second ball game
of the season, Sunday. They
won over Brunswick 6 to 5. The
locals were reinforced with
William Ehlers who caught
Thrash's delivery. The battery
for Brunsw wick was

used four of the Carrollton men
in their lineup but at that
could not put it over. The feature
Of the game was the hitting of
Cash. A week from Sunday the
locals play the Brunswick men
on the local grounds Next Sun
day will be a blank for the ball
men as they could not get ball

excepting one who went to

were a few delegates from here
to the game but not many. Key

New Highway Commission

The County Court last week

ness.
H. E. and B. Comr. Fred
Hayes is ex-otficlo member OF
the commission and if these four
men do not win the appreciation
of all interested parties, we miss
our guess.
The old commissioners did the
hard part of the work un-
doubtedly, and started the in
terest as we'll as the work and
pushed it vigorously during their
entire incumbency and the
heartiest thanks of all in the
eEanty should be extended then
for their efforts. Considering
that the commissioners mus
bear all the expense they incul
in getting about over the roads
and that there is no pay coming
to them for any part of theil
services, it is a agreat concession
pro bono publico for any man to
consent to act, unless he feel:

he does, as full remuneration.
Lets give the new commission
our full and cheerful support,

commissioners put in motion so
admirably cannot be kept NOV

AutOes of II Cylinders

The twelve cylinder automo-
bile is coming next year. There
is only one car of that type now
existing and that is the English
racing car, Sunbeam. Several
manufactures are said to be for
mularing their plans to get out
a IL cylinder car if there is any
demand for it. From four to six,
then eight and now IL, that is
going some. The extreme luxury
of smoother engine running is
the inducement. More cylinders
mean more trouble and more
money to the garage man. Why
should the repair man worry?
