right in thinking it, as the road
leading out from Arnold's store to
Jacks Creek church hasn't had a
lick struck on it by the county in
19 months. A part Of the Lexine-
ton and Purdy road, 2 miles that
lies near Mr.. Geo. Councils, hasn't
been worked in Is months, with
with the exception Of scratching a
little one time with the grader, and
one would have to put on glasses to
tell where II. gan. On this Jacks
Creek road we gave several days
work, paid our $500 and we do
think just a little help ought to-
come our way. If 10 days won't
work the road, make it IL days or
$1,000 as the SOC day feature is
to say the least Of it, seemingly a
bogus one.

1t seems your Fifth district cor

just as it is. Now on top Of this, |
am informed that Judge Barham's

ed to work or pay. | am sure at
least 40 per cent Of those who work
the road never saw the notice to
that effect therefore many claimed
that they wanted to put in their
time instead Of paying. Some OF
course we're honest in their claim
and no doubt many used it as an
excuse not to work or pay either.
Not every fellow who runs off at
the mouth about working the road
is hurting so bad to work, for
time and again you will see bad
places right at such fellows door
and just a little work in time would
have prevented it. But the very
idea that we can work 10 days or
pay $500 is bogus, and leaves lots
Of room for suspicion. This only
puts SOC valuation on a days work
and leaves room for those on out

roads will never get any benefit

Hog cholera continues to rage in
certain parts of this country. We
recently had our attention called to
one farm where some 33 hogs had
died with that disease. Instead Of
burning them they were dragged to
a remote part of the pasture The
owner also called on virus permit
holder to Get them vaccinated on
about the 9th Of June. We found
that on the 18th of June the hogs
had not yet been treated. Haste
was urged and another virus permit
holder was secured who did the
work promptly. In this case the
owner who did not burn the dead
hogs and the virus permit
holder who did not do promptly the
work were parties to the spread Of
hog cholera. We know there are
other such cases and furthermore
that we shall be cursed with this
disease until we practice sanitation
and vaccination promptly where it
should be. Most any time hogs
should be yaccinated within three
days after the disease is discovered.

London. Nov 25.-Following the
demonstration in front of the Ducal
Paiace in Nuremberg, IN which sew
eral hundred people demanded that
the Grand Duchess should abdicate,
that ruler has gone to her country
place in Colmar, several miles from
her capital city This information
comes from correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle with the American
Army in Luxembourg.
He says that much excited talk is
heard to the effect that unless the
Grand Duchess shall voluntarily sur
render her hereditary rights. she may
be forcibly and bodily removed from
the Grand Duchy.
During Gen. Pershings visit to the
Grand Duchess the state of public
feeling was carefully depressed and
concealed. With the end ~of that
visit. however. the bitterness bred
through four years of German occu-
pancy burst forth with violence. The
correspondent says it has always been
known that the ruling house of Lux

pared. The first test will measure the
soldiers qualifications for business en-
ployment and reveal his deficiencies
Then will follow the government
training period which will extend over
a month or longer, in some cases for
a year, depending upon the time
which each man spends in the demo-
bilization cantonments. Tho second
test will be based upon his camp
studies. and win he utilized in max
ing records for a soldiers efficiency

forwarded in sections to branches of

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Nov 29.--Broad humani-
tarism reported as the probable basis
of food shortage relief in Europe had
much to do today with stimulating
bullish sentiment IN the corn market.
Prices closed strong. &c to 3 "a C net
higher, with December $1.277s to
SIPS and January $1.2S% to S1.2S%
Oats gained 115c to 21sc. In pro-
visions the outcome ranged from sc
decline to 81 advance,
Although announcement that one
of the biggest distilleries in the coun-
try would close down tonight led to
much selling at times in the corn
market, the general movement of
prices was clearly upgrade. Scantl-
ness of offerings together with other
tokens that farmers were refusing to
sell freely at current values, put the
bears at a disadvantage and the trade
was in a ready mood to place full
stress on Paris advices that the food
situation in Europe would alleviated
in every way possible and that help
would not be confined to particular
localities, but would have wide scope
wherever great distress was evident.
Accordingly, the finish was at the
tiptop prices of the day.
Oats assembled with corn and with
the aid of fair demand from the
seaboard.
Provisions averaged lower owing
to weakness in the hog market.
Closing prices:
