OUR BAD ROADS.

There is much saneness in the
whiskered saying, "Strike while the
iron is hot"
Acting upon this maxim, because
the question is one ever dear to our
hearts, we wish to call attention TO
the condition of the roads all over the
county directly after the continued
rains of this week and last. Though
it is ordinarily true that there are
some roads in the county always i'm
passable for at least day after any
heavy rain, so that the majority of
the people on those roads are con-
tent to sit apparently passive waiting
for the water to run off, or dry up,
or for the usual bridge to be prepar-
ed, compelling their children to miss
a day from school or maybe, delay
ing that most important trip to town
with that tobacco or cotton or potas-
toes, missing a good opportunity Of
attending to that business in town
on a day when it is too wet to work,
yet it hardly seems that the road con-
dition in our county is one to be
proud Of or even happy over.
Now the question is, what are we
going to do about it? Is Henry
County with her broad acres and fer
tile fields so impoverished that she
is content to travel roads that are
twenty years behind her other pro-
gress, and behind the progress of her
sister counties and of the nation?
True we are making some advance
ment, but state highway one way
across the county doesn't license any
of us to snooze on the job. 1t should
be, on the other hand, inspirational
and squirting on to bigger and broad
er road activities.
1t is time someone got busy on the
road question, time to strike while
the iron is hot.

has begun with spirit, what is more,
with the right kind Of q spirit, a spir-
it Of willingness 10 give, spirit of
readiness to assume each apportioned
part, that Is highly commendable.
In our own county, for example,
more than half of the churches have
over pledged the amounts asked from
them fully month before Victory
Week. There is no question, but
that the $4,000 apportioned the
Henry County Baptists will be over
subscribed.
One potent reason for the assured
success Of the drive is the splendid

tude that the Southern Baptists as

MRS. M. KIRKLAND

Couldn't Walk--Gains Twenty
Pounds By Taking Tanlec.

Mrs. Matte Kirkland, highly es-
teemed resident of 2547 Benton Bou-
levard, Kansas City, Mo-, called at
the Owl Drug Store recently, and
made the remarkable statement that
she has not only gained twenty
pounds in weight by the use Of seven
bottles of Tanlac, but also that the
medicine has relieved her of case
of nervous indigestion that had made
life miserable for her for three years
When asked if she would be willing
for her statement to be published
Mrs. Kirkland said:

been for others allowing the news Of

have known about Tanlac and woulc

GROVE NOTES

Chapel programs are quite the
vogue ION the hill" recently. A
group of students under Miss Burch's
direction furnished the entertainment
for last Friday morning. There were
readings by Priscilla Dumas, Bette
Easley, Edith Carter, Minnie E. Mar
ris, Ruby Clogs, and Mary Carter.
Music that was fiattered by an en-
core was given by the Ukelele trio,
Elizabeth Porter, Ruby Johnson and
Mallory Morris, with Elizabeth Du-
mas, Charlotte Fairleigh, Willie Will
son, Elizabeth Alden, Marian Lewis
and Loren McGehee singing. Begin
ming with the Senior tomorrow Fri
day. the various classes and literary
societies will render each Friday
mornings program.
Alas, we cannot go on in idle bliss
forever-tests have begun! These
nerve-racking fortunes are the surest
indication of real gettin-to-work and
now that they have started, reports
will come soon, which means many
an exclamation of joy and still more
| of dismay.
Another department is making it
self known at school. Mr.. Bayer has
organized a teachers training class,
| meeting of Monday, Tuesday and
/ Friday. Thirteen Seniors have en-
rolled in the class. In this class the
girls are trying to learn to drop the
role of pupil and assume the more
dignifed part of teacher. It will
doubtless be very hard for some of
us to whom dignity is so foreign, but
it's fun-so far.
Plans are progressing and increas-
ed interest being manifested in the
Halloween masque TO be given by
Browning, in two weeks. This So
ciety of girls has the reputation of
being one of the most wide-awake in
the school and it's parties are always
looked forward to with much eager
ness.

AFTER THE CIGARETTE.

From an unquestionably officia
source comes the announcement that
one great church body will now de.
vote its time and energies to stamp
ing out the cigarette evil"
This sort of campaign was pre-
dicted by great many people just
as soon as thu, prohibition drive was
ended. The statement that it was
under consideration was repeatedly
denied by prohibition leaders, but
the truth has been seeping through
and now bluntly asserts itself.
Presumably there are those who
believe that no greater life work
could fall to their lot than to be priv
LEGGED to campaign against cigarettes.
Far more numerous in the ranks of
such crusade, however, will be
those who know nothing about the
matter and follow tamely in the foot
steps of leaders who find it an excel
lent opportunity to exploit themsel-
yes.

are informed in the opening blast of
