NO CIRCUIT COURT
June Term Postponed on Account
Of Farm Conditions

On account of the farm condi-
tions Judge Harwood has called off
the June term of the circuit court.
The lawyers and litigants asked
Judge HarwOod to not hold this
term of court as it was coming at
a time when every available man
should be on the farm to make a
crop. The judge very promptly
acceded to the request.
The court, however, will be
here or the first day and will de-
termine then whether the court
will be postponed entirely, per-
hitting all cases to go over to the
next term, or will fix some future
date for a special term. The It'll
giants, jurors and witnesses, how
ever, are not required to be here
on this date.
This action is wholly in keeping
with the wishes and the best inter-
ests of our people. The farmers
should be permitted to give their
entire time to their crops if the
weather ever permits the farmers
to work at all.

REELFOOF HIGHWAY
To be Built From ReslfOOt Lake
TO Huntingdon

The State Highway Commission
has under consideration the build
ing at once of the highway from
ReelfoOt Lake to Huntingdon. 1t
seems that this is to be one of the
first highways built in this section
under state and federail aid.
Mr.. House, who is a member of
the state highway commission,
lives at Dresden, and last week ex-
planned to mass meeting of the
citizens of Weakley county the
plan by which the highway is to
be built.
Mr.. House is reported to have
said that the federal government
will put up one-thlrd of the ex-
pense of this road, the state one
third and the counties through
which the road passes the remain
ing one-third.
The county court of Weakley
county at its July meeting viii! be
asked to provide bonds for the
payment of its part of the road
through that county, and it is be-
lieved that the court will act fla
vorably to the proposition. The
road will come through Martin,
Ralston, Dresden, Gleason, Nc
Kenzie and on to Huntington.
Carroll county will, of course,
be expected to meet its part of the
expense of the construction of this
road from the Weakley county
line on to Huntingdon. The county
court has already put itself on
record favorable to such a road,
and we don't think there will be
any trouble at this end of the line.

old friend of U. B. Bond who was
instrumental in getting him to

M'KENzIE PROSPECTING
Commercial Club a Valuable AsetG
to the Town

Mckenzie is making great pro-
gress,. and.is far ahead of neighbour
ing towns in material development
and growth. The citizenship are
loyal to the town and working in
harmony for the growth of the
town.
The town has a live. wide-awake
commercial club, with member
ship embracing nearly every busi-
ness man and professional man in
the town, and many of the farmers
in the community are members.
They pay their dues and cooperate
with the officials of the club in
every undertaking, and the club,
because of this cordial support
and cooperation, is enabled to do
things for the town.
The town is wide-awake on the
school question They know the
value of good schools and instead
# tearing down their schools they
are building them up. A move
ment is on foot to build a new
McTyeire School and the town was
asked to give $50, 900, and $4,000
was subscribed at the first meeting
and the remainder will be secured.
A meeting was held last week ia
.he interest of the High School.
This school has grown in members
and popularity until additional
rooms are needed. 1t was decided
1t this meeting to raise fund
sufficient to meet the needed
emergency in the way of providing
additional rooms, a heating plant
and sanitary improvements. This
school has shown wonderful growth
and illustrates what can be done %

ROAD CONDITIONS
Never Were Worse In This Sec
ton II Is Claimed

The roads leading out OF Hunt
ingdon, it is claimed. were never
worse than they are at this time.
This is especially the condition Of
the roads near town, and more es-
especially in the Eleventh district.
Lexington and Jackson levees are
particularly bad, in fact, awfully
bad, almost impossible. People
coming to town to trade have to
leave their cars or other vehicles
at the approach of the levees and
walk in on account of this danger
Gus condition. The continuous
rains, the long neglect of the roads
and the heavy hauling over them
are responsible for this condition.
Something should be done as
soon as possible to repair these bad
places. They are hurting the
town in many ways. Frequently
tourist cars passing through the
town are stuck up in these holes
or bad places and have to be pulled
out. The tourists leave with a
bad opinion Of Huntingdon, Much
trade is kept away and business of
all kinds is injured.
Roads are bad all over thecounty
and it is time our people were re-
alizing the fact that Carroll county
must build better roads if we ex-
pect to keep abreast of the times.
We must also realize the fact that
it costs money to build roads and
if we do not want to lag behind
the progressive counties of the
state we must vote bonds and build
good roads. Give Carroll county
good roads and she will be one of
the best counties of the state.
Shall we progress or shall we lag
behind9

Placed Under Bond

The city marshal of Hollow Rock
got in rather bad last Tuesday.
He came over to take in the show,
and before reaching here took on
too much bootleg. He was taken in
BY Sheriff Alden and City Marshal
Boyd on his arrival and carried
before Squire Hurt, who bound
him over to court. A pistol was
found on his person, which ag-
gravated the case. He gave bond
and was released. He claimed that
some of the show people gave him
the whisky.

Ihe ABOVE petition is being CIR
culated by G. w. Parish and E.
L. Morgan, and it is the purpose
of those who are pushing this good
roads movement to have all roads
leading out of Huntingdon worked
to the district line, IT possible, and
they expect to see that the money
subscribed is spent in a way that
100 per cent value is received for
every dollar put out. This money
is going to be used in a business
way, and if anybody gets their
toes in the way they may be
stepped on.
Including the amount above SUBJ
scribed, parties publishing this an
nOuncement, expect to raise not
less than $4,000 in cash. Now,
certainly no business man or con-
Germ will refuse to contribute lib.
orally to this cause. The business
concerns who have not been seen
will be called upon during the next
few days, and all individuals who
are able to contribute. Unless you
have a good excuse, don't offer

Will Try Case

The heading off of Attorney General
LANCER in the Scandinavian-Americ
bank probe was made complete this
morning when the supreme court
denied his motion for writ directing
Judge A. Il. Cole of the Cass county
district court to assume jurisdiction in
the action which LANCER brought last
week for the appointment of receiver
for the Fargo institution.
, Attorney General LANCER in his NC
tiOn before the supreme court recited
the fact that by virtue of a resolution
of the state banking board he brought
action for the appointment of per-
manent receiver for the Fargo bank
and that such action was pending be-
fore Judge Cole at Fargo when the
supreme court issued its order
restraining the banking board from
further procedure in the matter. A
hearing in this matter had been set
in Judge Coles court for October 13,
but Judge Cole this week filed notice
with the attorney general that he be-
lieved he had no authority to hear this
action and that the order of the
supreme court restraining the banking
board also restrains him as district
judge from hearing this case.
Attorney General Langer's motion
urged that the supreme courts order
in his opionion did not bar District
Judge Cole from acting in this case,
and he prayed from the supreme court
an order directing Cole to proceed
with the hearing on October 13.
"The supreme court has assumed
jurisdiction in this matter, and we will
go through with it," said Associate
Justice James d. Robinson in COM
menting this morning on the matter.
'It was understood with the district
court that it would recognize the
supreme courts jurisdiction and pro-
ceed no further"
, It was also limited by the venerable as
sociate justice that it was not the
supreme courts desire to "oyerwhelm
the Scandinavian-American bank" but
Ito give this institution an opportunity
to get squared away.
