sumption of alcoholic liquor produced by
1916 efforts of prohibitionists in a ma
jority of the states of the union.
The prohibitionists succeeded in reduc-
ing the 1915 receipts of the government
from retail liquor dealers by s417s2. AS
far as the government is concerned this,

DENSELY POPULATED
The rural sections surrounding the
town are densely populated, perhaps
more so than any other section of the
state. Travellers may go miles and
miles and never get out of view of
splendid farm homes. The fields join
each other with merely a line to show

Albertville is the place where the
Marshall County fair is held annually.
Much praise came from this source
during the last fair, held October H.,
Is, 10. 20 and 81, for the splendid ar
ray of agricultural exhibits and stock
show.
According to Hogan Jackson. presi-
dent of the Fair association it was
the best county fair held in the state
due to the splendid agricultural condi-
tons. This year this section of the
state was better prepared for a fair
than many others, inasmuch as the
rains of the summer were less damag-
ing. The agricultural exhibits have
been on the increase from year to year
and the fair and premiums offered are
tending to encourage better farming
The fair this year was a big success,
bigger success than those before 1t.
and the association is already busy
working for next year
FARMERS MAKE MONEY
That the farmers of this section are
prosperous and have made money this
year. is shown in the business records
of the town The business men are
kept busy caring for the fall and win
ter trade, while the farmers are
streaming in to market their cotton
and other produce to pay their ac-
counts and deposit money.
According to J. F. Hooper, banker,
and Hogan Jackson, president of the
Bank of Albertville. the deposits of
their banks have broken all records
this year. There has been an average
of % per cent increase in the deposits
since the Mariners began marketing
their crops The farmers themselves
are strong patrons of the banks and
their deposits in the savings depart
ments run high into the thousands of
dollars.
There are reasons for the prosperity
of this section. One is the productive
qualities of the soil The improved
methods. however. are attributed
largely to the work of the Seventh
District Agricultural school. which is
located here
This school, established in 1892 has

low the water and mud to drain. If
necessary, open up also the side

the soft mud left in the mudhole. The
bottom of the trench should be filled

ers. If possible. spread little gravel
or sand over the new fill, which should
be made slightly higher than the ad-
joining road surface. The best treat.
ment Of all. however, is to keep the
drainage in good condition. Serious
mudholes will then rarely develop.
Don't try to fill mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
it with large stones, because IL this is
done there will soon be two mudholes
instead Of one. Don't try to fill mud.

which absorbs water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid Of dragging too often during
rainy spell. If thin coat of sand or
gravel be spread over the road surface
when it has been softened by rain and
then worked in by traffic and liberal
use Of the drag poor earth road can
be much improved and made to carry
4 very heavy traffic for short time.
In contrast to the clay or gumbo
road the sand road gives least trouble
during wet weather. On sandy roads
anything that will prevent the free
movement Of the sand particles win be
Of value. As long as the road Is damp
the surface tension Of the capillary
water acts as binder and holds the
separate grains Of sand in place. All
efforts should, therefore. be directed
toward preventing the sandy places
from drying out or toward adding some
binder. The addition Of clay furnishes
g positive binder and Is really the best
and most permanent treatment. The
addition Of any nbrous material, such

Temporary repairs to roads are or
at least should be confined to emergen-
cy measures. In proportion to the re-
suits obtained temporary work is al
ways expensive and is never justified
by ordinary conditions. Unusual con-
ditions, however, often occur to plague
the road man. For example. the clos
ing of main highway to traffic be-
cause Of construction, repair or wash

&c for short time on little used and
probably unimproved highway. Clear
ly in such case temporary expedients
are legitimate. I'D
The most common troubles met with
in a case of this kind are mudholes
and ruts if the soil is heavy and dust
