BARKER DISTRICT TO
HAVE PAVED ROADS.

A move is now on foot where
by Barker District will have a
chance to get Paved Roads.
1t is estimated that a bond is
sue Of $50, 900 will pave all the
Important roads in the district.
ut is proposed that the east side
of Belington be taken in on the
Issue in order that the unpavid
outlets will be paved and con-
Injected up with all the paved
roads and streets. It has been
suggested that the pavement be
|of brick set in concrete and about
fourteen feet. wide with no curb
ling thus reducing the cost of
building.
The main pike is part of the
road way to the south and any
thing in the way Of improving
the roads in this district and
county will add greatly to the
value of property.

meet us at Calhoun. Come

COPPER-HAIRED MODESTO
ASKS $4,000 BALM
Wealthy Illinois Corn Packer Said
Have W0oed by Praising
Luminous Eyes.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-J. r. Guy
kendall, head of one of the hig-
gest corn packing concerns in
Illinois is made defendant in a
$4,000 breach of promise suit
filed for Miss Helen Leschelle, a
modiste of San Francisco.
Miss LeSchelle and Mr.. Guy
kendall met in California last
April, according to the bill, and
the engagement was made a
short time afterward. The
packers wooing is said to have
been ardent. He said her hair
was like FURNISHED "copper"" it
is alleged that her eyes were
"ineffably sweet and luminous"
and that her lips were fowler
than the petals of the choicest
rose" And then says the bill, he
proposed. Miss Leschelle's at
torney, Alfred r. Hubert, out
lined the story as follows:
They met at a fashionable
bach in California. A little la
ter they went to New York. In
restaurant there one night
Miss Lechelle's professional in
terest as a modiste caused her
to turn her head now and then
to examine gowns of passing
women. Mr.. Cuykendall, mis-
understanding, accused Miss
Leschelle of flirting. They
quarreled then, and Mr.. Guy
kendall repudiated his promise
of marriage.
Miss Leschelle was in Chica-
go recently preparing her suit.
She is in San Francisco now"

A large banner is displayed
