as administered the past two years
has been a detriment to road i'm

road work but discouraged many
who heretofore were active good

County Finances

Every county warrant issued
since last January has gone to
protest and the county is paying
interest on them. The county
treasury is fiat broke. A change
is needed that will put some busi-
ness efficiency into the county
court. The republicans Of the
WESTERN district have put up a
candidate that has been successful
in his private business and has
pledged to use the same care and
diligence in the transaction of the
county's business. Reference is
made,to W. R. Sallee. A vote for
Sallee is a vote to put the
finances of the county on solid
footing and give a strict account of
every dollar expended. See that

The two story farm residence of
n. FL. Hawes, three miles south
east of town, together with nearly
all the contents, was destroyed by
fire between three and four O'Clock
last Saturday morning. The fire
is supposed to have originated
from lamp left burning in an un.
occupied room up stairs. When
the family was awakened the fire
had gained such a headway that
they barely had time to escape
with their clothing, only small
part of the furniture being saved.
The loss was partly covered by in
surance, there being $500. 90 on
the house and 100000 on the
contents. This is the second time
Mr.. Hawes has been burned out
on that farm. The house burned
just after he bought the place
several years ago after he had
gotten partly moved in. The
house burned Saturday was practi-
calIy new and good one.
