election precinct in which he re-

After a delay of several weeks,
perhaps a month or more, he Is
notified by the War Department

PAPERS WE ADMIRE.

There are two newspapers pub
lished in West Kentucky and
Tennessee that we admire, not ON
ly for their excellent news value,
but for neatness and makeup. We
refer to the Union City CONNER
eial, Marshall & Bard, publishers,
and the Hickman Courier, Speer
& Sexton, publishers. These pub
lications are credit to me
newspaper fraternity and show
that little artistic touch which Is
essential to the printing we all
admire. The publishers are not
only newspaper men of the high
err class, but experienced In the
art of printing, employing only
competent help-men who take
pride in their work. No, this Is
not an advertisement. The spirit
just moved us-the same as
when you attend a great revival
meeting. 1t is an expression OF
the editor, printed with the hope
that other publishers may take
notice and be stimulated to q
realization to wake up with q
little pride and give the reading
public a neater paper.

THE ROAD REPORT

In this issue we are publishing a
full report as submitted by Engineer
W. Lacy Boyd and each Of the COM
mittees that inspected all the roads
that have been laid in the county's
FIVE districts up to the time the re-
port is made. This is the most thor
ough investigation ever made Of any
road work in this or perhaps any
other State and should be satisfac-
tory to the most skeptical. We sur
mise we have reached the end of the
road controversy Most everybody.
so far as we can learn, is satisfied
the roads will be completed, and
completed right at an early date
as it is physically possible. The
County Commissioners deserve cred
it for their untiring efforts to get
what the contracts call for They
have gone through trying ordeals of
criticism, many unjust. but where
just they have profted as best they
could and they propose to so con-
tinue until the last mile stretch is
completed.-Bartow Record.
