Building Good Roads.

Citizens Of Martin and of the
vicinity OF Martin have got the
true American spirit in dead
earnest, evidenced by the good
roads they are building all
through that section OF the country.
The Martin Business Mems club
is back of the move, which means
SUGGEST
Coming out the Dresden road
from Martin that much travelled
and important thoroughfare has
been put in excellent shape for
a distance Of several miles, and on
Monday there was a big crew Of
workers, headed by Bob Vaughan,
W. T. Brooks, Tom Vaughan and
others, with teams, plows, and so
on, making wonderful improve
ments on:the road east Of Ralston.
The road at Ralston is being
Strengthened, too, which, in itself,
is a great Improvement and a
needed one.
The equipment purchased by
Martin citizens is being used,
supplemented by farmers who are
lending their teams and time, and
the work they are doing is most
creditable. This move ought to
inspire the balance OF US to do the
same thing. It's a good invest
ment for any town to have good
roads leading into it, and shrewd
business men have come to realize
this more than ever.

Woodrow Wilson Banquet.

Probably the most brilliant
event in the history of Greenfeld's
younger society set was the ban
quet given by Messrs. W, D.
Harris, Kent Below and 0. B,
Holder, at the Young Mems club
hall, in honor of the reelection
OF Woodrow Wilson. No one was
admitted to the banquet hall I'M
til he had given the pass word
"Hurrah! for Woodrow Wilson,
But no trouble on that score was
met with. The club hall was
magnificent with its protuse
decorations, which included flags,
both small and large, the walls
being draped with red, white and
blue bunting. The national color
scheme was carried out in all the
decorations. Huge ferns and
palms made an ideal back ground
for the beautiful and attractive
girls in their evening gowns OF
silk, chiffon and velvet. The
most admired Of the decorations
was large picture of our chief
executive and the source of the
greatest merry making was Mr..
Hughes picture, draped in mourn
ing. Popular airs on the graphic.
nola were enjoyed throughout the
evening. Cards were INDUCED in
for awhile, during which bonbons
were passed. Covers for thirteen
were laid. Nothing was lacking
in toothsome eats, from chicken
la barbaca, to after-dinner
minis. Mr.. W. D. Harris was
the toast master of the evening
and several responded. Mr.. Bur-
nett gave a toast to ''our next
president" which was conceded
to be the best Of any. The ban.
quet was unique in its character
and much enjoyed by all. Among
those present were Misses Sydell
Brasfeld, Mary Lee Swain, Ruth
Wrenn Hills, Mary Brock, Flea.

He Got the Pass.

The manager of a road show,
once playing a country town, was
stationed at the front door one
evening taking tickets when a young
man presented himself and asked
for a pass, simply stating that he
was the "bellman."
"What do you mean by bell
man? p" asked the manager,
"Well," came the answer, "next
door to the opry house is a tower
with a large bell, and at 9 o'clock |
ring the curfew. If I get in to the
show free Pm going to give the bell
a couple Of light taps. If | don't
get in free | ring it to beat the cars
for fifteen minutes, and it generally
breaks up the show"
The bellman was passed in.
