he recovered. About ten days ago ne
was stricken with the dreaded malady--
paralysis from which his whole left side
was paralyzed, and rendered him
speechless. Everything was done to
alleviate his suffering but the summons
came and he passed away to the great
realms beyond this vale of tears.
He was II splendid type OF self-made
manhood being born on farm some
sixty live years ago, and during his
career worked In way that when his
last days were at hand he could say
unhesitatingly ~ did my best"
The funeral was conducted Tuesday

The Proposed
Federal Highway

IN the proposed federal highway
leading from Artesia to Stark
vile by Sessums> and it is quite
natural that all interested should
be very anxious to see the work
progressing as rapidly as possible
and with as few delays as can be
had. Mr.. &c Thomas, engineer
for the district and Mr.. M. A.
Saunders. attorney, gave the
News representative the follow.
ing information with reference
to this project:
The Federal government has
agreed TO spend $25, 900 on that
portion of the highway in
Oktlbbeha county. Several
months ago Mr.. Caldwell, repre-
sentlng the government went
over the route and approved the
same. Mr.. Thomas Immediately
went to Jackson and secured
from the State Highway Dop4rt-
ment such information as was
available and returned to Stark
VILE and spent several months
getting up plans in accordance
with the very exacting details
required. Upon the completi, n
of the plans they were carried
to Jackson by the engineer and
presented to the State Highway
Department. aud at This time
was advised by the State High,
way Department. that a change
had been made IN the plans,
which required great deal of
additional work and that the
plans originally gwen. and upon
which this work had been done.
would not now be approved
In questioning the Highway
Department with referenc, to
why the plans had been changed
without any notice whatever
having been given, he was
Informed that the State Highway
Department simply had more
work than they had time TO do
or money to employ men to
handle.
We learn from the Chief of
Road Economies of the office of
Public Roads at Washington
that the ques ,lOn Of Aaalntenance

ments have begun made IN the
effort to devise roads which eau
be maintained at relatively low
cost. The change referred to in
this instance was a radical
modification IN the slope of the
road EN- bankment. from crown
to extreme base, SO that wear or
erosion will b. reduced to a
minimum.
We may rest assured that
