Judge w. NJ. Williams

One among the most distin-
!euished jurists of the State died
at his home in Bonneville, Mo-,
Sept. 18 and we are safe in say
ing that among the bar of the
state there was not man who
was held in higher esteem. Not
a lawer possessed of a limited
knowledge of law but who, if
ne applied to Judge Williams, was
favored with the opinion of one
whose opinions were always good
and in the most gracious manner.
1t was this consideration for
mediocrity which made so many
friends for the big hearted man.
Judge William Muir Williams
was born in the town in which
ne lived his whole life and where
he died. He married Miss Jesse
Evans of Sedalia, Mo-, Dec. 16,
1876, and in addition to his wild
ow, there survives him his dau-
ghters, Mrs. ]. W. Cosgrove,
Mrs. Monroe Tallifero, Mrs.
Smith Simrall, Misses Jesse and
Sue and son Roy D. Williams,
his law partner.
The most impressive funeral
services were conducted at his
home, Rev. Eugene F. Abbott
of st. Louis and Rev. VIM. H.
Black eulogising the distinguish
ed dead. Judge Williams was a
past grand master of masons and
the burial was conducted by his
lodge, the ceremonies being in
charge of P. G. M. Chas. H.
Briggs.
Judge Williams was one among
the most active of the citizens of
the county in securing the new
court house and a remarkable
incident occurred just as the
corpse was being carried from
the home. A storm had arisen
and just as the casket was being
taken from the house, a fash of
tightening Illuminated the world
and a peal of thunder shook the
earth and the court house was
struck.
Judge Williams was an ex-
Judge of the supreme court
besides having held many other
most responsible positions and
sought by distinguished men,
bers of the bar everywhere for
his opinions on intricate ques-
tions of law.

Bot a Fliyver

County Treasurer Rucker was
never much concerned about
owning an automobile or a Ford
until Miss Rucker made her
appearance at his home a few
days ago. Since that event the
affab!e officer has been easy, and
the victim of all sorts of nefari-
GUS schemes, but none which
hung him up for the butt of jokes
like his purchase of a Ford Tues
day.
Highway Engineer Hayes left
his Ford sitting, or standing, or
both, near the court house.
County Clerk White confided to
County Treasurer Rucker that
he had a first class, little used
Ford for sale and it was dead
cheap at $500. Rocker inquired
what it had cost. White told him
$210. Rucker offered $225, then
$2S5 and White finally agreed to
sell the car to him for $3.50.
Rucker lost little time giving his
check TO White for the amount
after consulting his wife and
daughter. Will Moore wanted
the car and $500 was asked.
Rucker then told Moore he could
have all over $500 he could sell
for and Moore quickly sold to.
Recorder of Deeds Hunt and got
Hunts check for $500. Rucker
was then sorry he had sold and
offered $40 to call the deal off.
White then told Rucker that
since he, Rucker, had backed
out, he, White, would do the
same. refusing to accept $3.50 for
the car. Rucker was red hot,
and in q fighting huEnOr when
White disclosed whose car twas,
all bets of and Rucker setting
'em up. to the crowd Of conspira-
tors.

Build Those Bridges

There is a lot Of bridge mater.
ial furnished by the county court
last spring which is still lying on
the banks of the sloughs and
branches which they were pro.
vided to span. The court has
determined that if all these
bridges are not put up at once in
place of the rickty old death traps
which they were intended to re-
place, the material will be turned
over to other neighborhoodS
which want it the worst way.
Better get busy and not only put
in the new bridges but make the
approaches good or the court will
get on the trail and come up with
the delinquents.

Commission Two Days Inspect.
ing. Highway Mostly Good
Bad Bridges

Highway Engineer Fred Hayes
and highway commissioner Lon
Richardson and Milt Bennett
spent Tuesday and Wednesday
this week inspecting the county
seat highways. going 1870 miles
over mostly good roads, but in
spots they were not at all pleas.
ed with tie conditions and insist
that Improvements be made
speedily or a radical change
would be ordered in routes.
Part Of the road between this
city and Brunswick is bad and
could be improved so that il
would be as good as any other
part of that route if the right
sort of work was done where il
is needed.
The best roads in the county
radiate from Sumner, but the
commission found the route from
this city to Macon to be first
class except in the neighborhood
Of Lagonda where a little work
is needed to make it SPLENDID.
The commissioners were well
pleased with the condition of the
roads generally, but abhorrent
of the bridges and culverts.
Many are as bad as they could
be made and altogether they dc
not match the good roads which
have been made to them.

Basket BAH

Our high school is developing
somewhat in the art of getting a
big ball thru q small hole in net
ting as to the boys team and the
girls team promises to come out
big winners BY the close Of the
season. Prairie Hill put il on us
week before last with its aggre-
cation and Dalton came SO near
swiping a game from us last
week that our boys are shaking
yet. The girls went down be-
fore the best team in the state
therefore we do not feel so bad.
We only need a pair of goal
throwers and the replacement Of
two light weights when all COM
ers with perhaps the exception
of Dalton will have to be content
with defeat and even Dalton scalp
will not be safe. Team work
is what our girls need badly and
they are pulling thru fine now.
Dalton has two of the best goal
throwers in the state as well as
severalothers who play their posi-
tons equally as well and with
practice kept up. that girl team
viii be invincible.

Railroad Revenues Big.

Railroad financial results for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1916, made
public through the Railway Age Ga
zette, show that net revenues for the
year crossed the billion mark for the
first time. {,
The net operating revenues for the
year were $1,176, 8o4,0o1, or 1914 per
mile, as compared with ,56O,63S,
or $4,s31 per mile, for 1913. The av-
erage mileage represented in 1916 was
229,229, and in 1913, 1929. The in
crease is due largely to increased ef-
ficiency, it is stated. The increase in
total operating revenues was only rs
per cent, but the net operating rev.
enue increased 21.3 per cent over
|1913.
/ Compared with the fiscal year 1915,
the current year shows an increase of
$30S, 390,025, or 1863 per cent per mile
in aggregate operating revenue. Op-
Eerating expenses increased 1888, 867,-
1913, or 8.3 per cent per mile.
