majority of the legal voters, or a majority of the land owners either in acreage or valuation, to agree for the same before a road improvement district could be established.
 MT. Jeffries, the chairman, stated that he understood that the property in the district could be taxed to the amount of 30 per cent of the assessed valuation.
 F. Lewis, who is also heartily in favor of securing rock roads for this section, stated that with out the Incorporated Town of McCrory being included in the district, he did not believe the revenue that might be raised would be sufficient to build the road, inasmuch as the territory east of McCrory was not assessed at a high rate.
 He suggested that figures be secured showing an estimate of the total valuation and the cost and, if necessary, to build the road to increase the width of the

ENTHUSIASTIC GOOD
 ROADS MEETING
Citizens of McCrory and Jeks and Surrounding Territory Are United In Effort to Secure Rock Road
 from Fakes Station to Fair Oaks

More than half a hundred re- nresentative citizens of McCrory and Jelks and surrounding terri tory met at the Jewel Theatre in this city Monday afternoon pur- suant to a call published by Over seer J. l.. Bronte in last weeks s issue of The Home News for the purpose of securing what some termed a "Cross-the-county" highway. The meeting was har- monious throughout and every one seemed anxious to do or say something to help secure for themselves a permanent good road.
 T. A. Jeffries was elected chairman and w. w. Raney sec retary. The Chairman stated the object of the meeting saying that it had been called for the purpose of discussing the pro- posed building of a rock road to be constructed across the county, said road to begin one-half mile east of Fakes Station and running east to the Cross County line near Fair Oaks.
 Overseer J. l.. Bronte stated that it would be necessary for a

Hurrah for Jeff L. Bronte, our hustling road overseer. By persistent and untiring effort and everlasting sticking to it he has at last secured for this dis- trict a modern road tractor and grader of the J. I. Case type.
 MT. B. P. Atkinson, a repre- sentative of the above company was here Saturday and the order was given him for a 2O-4O horse power gas and oil tractor and one No. l. Steering Hitch Grader with ten foot blade, total cost of same being S2, 5O0.0O.
 The tractor weighs 13,5OO pounds and the grader HOO. The cost of operation will be about $1200 for ten hours. Through an open road with no stumps, or anything to cause trouble, the outfit will grade and finish two miles a day.
 We believe we express the sen- timents of every citizen of McCro- ry when we say that the street committee, Messrs G. c. McCro- ry, R. A. Drewery and Oc lief fries are to be complimented up- on their good judgment in donat- ing out of the street fund $500. .0O towards purchasing this modern road and street working machine. We believe that next to the mon- ey which was donated to the school building under Mayor H. T. Raney's administration in 1905, it is the best investment the town has ever made.
 Riggs Brothers too deserve a

liberal portion of the flowers for the large donation they made towards securing better roads for this section. They are con- tinually boosting for good roads and every time an opportunity presents itself they always do a little more than merely boosting.
 Everyone who has contributed to the fund has done something that will work wonders in giving us better roads and the invest ment will no doubt prove a lasting benefit to everybody. We glad ly publish below list of those who contributed and the amounts:

Birds Stop Gas SunnIx.

Menominee, Wis.-Two little spar
rows caused every gas user in Menom-
inee to go without gas for several
hours. The birds built their nest in
the outlet pipe of the water tank
through which tbs ms Is passed. Dur
ing the heavy rain the tank overfiowed
because the nest clOgged the outlet
pipe. The overlooking of the tank dis
arranged the apparatus and shut off
the gas. The nest was removed later
and the gas supply restored.

romance of international interest
is interviewer in the recent marriage
of Miss Margaret Preston Draper of
Massachusetts and Prince Andrea Bon
compagni of Italy. His eminence, Car
dinal Gibbons, close friend of both
families, conducted the marriage serv-
ice, Miss Draper having been recently
received into the Catholic church.
Following the service nuptial mass
was held. This unusual privilege of
mass in private house, which for the
day was private chapel, is one of the
favors bestowed by the pope on the
family Of Boncompagni.
The princess is known in society cir
cles all over the world. She has lived
in many capitals abroad and was pre-
sented at the Court of st. James. The
prince Is member of the Boncom-

President Wilson has issued a
proclamation designating October p
and p as days upon which contribu-
items for the relief Of the stricken
Syrian and Armenians may be made.
A nationwide effort is being made to
present this appeal to the people Of
America and to enlist them in the
work Of mercy. A bare presentation
of the facts is enough to move every
one to make some sacrifice to con
tribute to the funds needed to save
a whole people from starvation.
In April, 1915, the tragedy of Ar
mcnia and Syria began. Since then,
not thousands, but millions Of people
have suffered such hardship as has
not seemed possible in the modern
world, at the hand Of Turks and
other Mohammedans of Asia Minor.
Thousands have been deported,
cxiled, robbed, murdered. Thousands
Of women and girls have been dis
honored, the victims Of soldiers and
bandits. Thousands Of children have
been killed and starved. These are
not exaggerations, but the testimony
of most reliable witnesses.
The awful facts are summarized
in these brief Observation-Disclosures
