.BOARD MAKES NEW RULING.

The board of supervisors at the re-
cent session made q ruling as to- the
time Of filing claims against the coun-
ty which will interest all who have
claims of that kind. 1t is required
that the bills must be on file with
the county auditor not later than the
Friday preceding any regular or
munthly meeting. under penalty OF
being carried over until succeeding
meeting. !,
The reason for the order ie very
Imperative. It has, been habit to
file claims at any time. even during
the days when the board is in session,
and expect prompt action. The custom
does not permit the auditor " get the
bills properly classified end also 1t
does not permit the board sufficient
time for examination and investiga-
ton Of the accounts. The state meet
ings of the board occur in January,
April, June, September and November,
but to facilitate business and care
for the wages on road work and the
like the supervisors have for several
years met on the first Monday Of each
month for the convenience of the Ia
boring men and others whose accounts
should receive prompt attention. Just
bear the new order in mind aud it
will help all interests in dispatching
the business OF the county.

AN ENJOYABLE TRIP sOUTr

AN ENJOYABLE TRIP SOUTr .1
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. H. Barr and So
children, who left early in the month
for Florida, had a most delightful
trip en- route. They took time on the
trip to visit many points Of interest.
Writing to The Democrat last week
Mr.. Barr, avs in part:
We arrive. in Chicago Friday even
ing in good order and Saturday fore
noon son Glenn and I went over to
the Board of Trade and Lamson &
Company gave US the necessary tick
cts to go in on the ground floor and
It certainly was wild and woody
scene, as it was the last few minutes
of the old year, and they pelted each
other with the samples Of grain and
jostled one another around until the
police took hand to stop some of It,.
But even they were powerless uni!
the gong sounded the closing OF the
year.
Sunday afternoon we came down
to Indianapolis, Indiana, and right
here I might say that Indiana has
more good roads, mostly macadam,
than any other central state, and 1t
does not look to me like vast ex-
|pense the way they are made. They
put up a nice little grade, would
say it was done in most cases with
an oil pull grader, and . few inches
OF crushed stone or gravel rolled in,
and not over ten or twelve feet wide.
I can tell you on good authority, that
we will never have good roads until
we gravel them and roll it in with a
heavy roller.
At indianapolis we went out to the
speedway, where on Decoration Day
of each year they have some of the
fastest auto races on earth, and usu-
ally few funerals day or two lat
er. We also went through the capi-
tol Of Indiana which it took about
ten years to build, and which cost s2,-
OOO, 900.
Monday afternoon we came down to
Cincinnati which now claims about
SOC, 900 inhabitants. It has very
broken surface and is mostly, up and
down hill We went up one hill on
la street car where the car was run
lin truck or carrier and raised 400
feet, on an incline. While one car was
going up another one was, coming
down.
We crossed the Ohio river and went
| to. Covington,. Kentucky, and while
they have around 10000 inhabitant II
lis mostly residence city for great
many of the business people OF Gin
Icinnati. 49, -
From Cincinnati we came to Chat
tanooga, over the Queen & Crescell
railway and good share Of the way i
is very rolling, many places rougl
i ID 4
and m9untainous, and Mrs, Barr en-
1oyed this part OF our trip very much
We went out by auto and looked oV
er the old battlefields of Chickamau
ga and Missionary Ridge, with 6
competent driver who was we'll posted
relative to all the important engage
ments. III
| We expect to go and see where tn
battle was fought above the clouds, o,
Lookout Mountain.
When we left Manchester last Fri
day 1t was about below zero. At
p. m. here at Chattanooga it was s
above, so we have been obliged to dis
card all our winter wear and buy tn
lightest of summer goods, OF the f1sl
net type, with short sleeves, etc.
It is needless to say we are havinl
the time of our lives.
