COMMITTEE REPORTS

President R. A. Brown of the Cham Der of Commerce presided and J. Frank Rushton, Thornton Estes and Dan B. Dimmick, members of the special com mittee appointed by the board of direc- tors of the Chamber or Commerce to investigate and report on the proposi- tion explained the features of the bond issue and the different matters that were considered in arriving at the con- cnusiou to request that the special elec- tion be held on the same date with the state bond issue election.
 Mir Rushton explained that three years ago mass meeting appointed two county finances and county roads-but ever made by either committee.
 Reaoine from estimates made for the committee, Mir. Rushton stated that careful compilations show that s 5,000GJl of bonds can be issued-s2. .000. GOO in 1920, z, ,o0O,000 in 1921, and $1,00o,0o0 in 1922, which will build 332 miles of road, and that the $3500o0 expended annually on maintaining the present macadam roads, together with the normal increase in taxable valuations in the county will pay the interest, maintain the permanent roads and provide a sinking fund that will retire the bonds in IT years. and at the end of 20 years leave balance of owe. $2,00e,0o0 in the treasury
 It has been costing about 5000 mile a year to maintain the chert roads, Mir. Rushton said, whereas the cost of main tainng a permanent road does not ex- coed SlO0 a nile.

In Memory
of

RICHARD CULLISON HENRY,
who departed this life Friday Sept.
~, 1919.
Dear brother, we miss you so
Fighting lifc's battles alone,
Oh! the sorrow, the heartaches we
suffered,
When the angels were calling you
home.
Loved ones around you were watcn-
ing, waiting.
Praying for hope of life for you,
But the angels in Heaven were beck
oning thee,
Homeward over the sea.
Little by little our hopes faded,
As we watched, and bathed your
feeble brow,
We had never thought of parting,
As it dawned upon us now.
Oh! our hearts were full of sorrow,
As we thought of days gone before
When we played as little children
With mother watching at the door.
From the window by your bedside,
We could see our boyhood home,
We could see the hills and valleys,
Where as boys we used to roam.
And we turned and looked upon you,
As you lay so cold and still,
And our hearts were almost breaking
As we murmered, IT'S Thy will'.
Father we pray that thou will heal us
Give us courage this shock to bear
And lead US to that celestial city,
Where therell be no parting there.
And we pray thy blessings, Father.
Upon his babes and faithful wife,
Lead them, guard them always,
Father,
Through this to better life.
We have parted with this loved one
As we can't on earth remain.
And tbs for US heartaches, sorrow
While for him eternal gain.
Father, help us daily help us,
Guide our footsteps as we come.
And Wen meet him, Oh! wen meet
him,
In that Great Eternal Home.
Pray make us strong, Dear Heavenly
Father,
And daily teach thy promise fair,
That when we meet in yon Great
City,
The family circle will be unbrok-
en- there.
