roads. In commenting on a recent
road article in the Register. the White
Leader says: 1--WE are glad the Brook

to death that those Iowa parties pass

afraid to speak out. They have start

will be given If 1t will mean the begin

have never seen such abominable
roads as there are in some parts of
the county. In going owe to Brook
ings Saturday to attend Hobo Day we
passed five autos who had pulled out
by the side of the road to repair their
cars having suffered blowouts, tire
puncture and whatnot. These roads
are a disgrace to Brookings county and
those two auto parties from Iowa won't
say anything commendable about our
country reads when they return to
their homes. We understand there
are plenty of road funds to put the
highways in good shape. If so let's
use some If It."

RAID AIDS CROPS.

Meridian, Miss, May 14.-Rains
that have fallen this week have been
very beneficial to crops throughout
this section. Only a few showers had
fallen previously for six weeks, and
the rains were very much needed
These rains have been general
throughout this section, and it means
that growing crops will take on new
life. Farmers are very much gratified
as in some places cotton had not come
up. The cotton crop has been slight
ly reduced in this section, but the
acreage last year was small, being re-
duced on account Of the ravages of
the boil weevil.. The only hindrance
to crops the last few days has been
the unusually cool weather for this
season of the year.

POSED AS INSURANCE MEN.

Coldwater, Miss, May 15.-It has
been recalled here that on the day be-
fore the postoffice robbery last week
there were several strangers in town
in an automobile claiming to be in
surance men. They spent some time
here looking over the town and even
inspected Higgins blacksmith shop
from which tools were taken that
night to force the locks on the door OF
the postoffice. Monday afternoon a
similar party visited fernando and
that night the postoffice there was
broken into, but only few dollars
were secured by the robbers. 1t is
evident that the same parties are re-
sponsible for both robberies, and that
the alleged insurance men were in
reality the yeggs looking over the

ways so ready with that old blunder-
buss of his, too, which somehow or
other never did manage to injure any
thing at all, not even the twittering
birds by the roadside,
The birds in the old romances were
always just waking as the coach and

was coming slowly in, and the whole
scene was intensely romantic, right up
to the last minute when the final
words of the immortal blacksmith
were pronounced over the happy cou-

one fraction of a second too late-and
of course was induced to a change of
heart at once, and took the blushing
