COUNTY AND CITY
SECURE NEW TRUCKS

Through the influence Of County
Supervisor Eugene Tarver and City
Alderman o. T. Hammer, both the city
and county were fortunate to secure
additional valuable trucks for their
respective uses.
The city gets fine new @. A. D. g.
ton truck equipped with hoisting ap-
paratus, at a cost of only $716.50,
which machine is valued at $4,000.00.
In addition the City gets two Ford
Ambulance Trucks at a combined cost
Of only $728.00. These two trucks
will be converted into fire trucks for
use of the city fire department.
The County gets 3-ton F. W. D.
truck for Beat Three. This machine
is valued at $4,5O0.OO and cost the
Beat only $4,000. This makes two
3-ton trucks for Beat Three and one
like machine for City use.
Beat One secured 3-ton Packard
truck for road building use in that
beat.
Messrs Eugene Tarver, o. T. Ham
ner, j. E. Simmons and Jesse Ad-
dington composed the party who went
to Jackson Tuesday after the trucks.
They started back with the machines
on the following day but rainy wealth
er prevented them from making
successful trip and as Supervisor Tar
yer said, "they had trucks strung all
along the road between Jackson and
Water Valley. The men were forced
to abandon the trucks and return on
the train. However in a short time
when the roads are right they will
have the machines delivered.

MAN OF THE HOUR
Number 2.

Worldly and political jealousy so very
rife,
On the League of Nations" evoking
much strife
Over National harmony and lasting
peace,
Doing the tricks of demagogues, har-
mony to decrease;
Rendering not service to firmly do
Our Country honor for all, even you;
Why? Just to thwart the will of him
who is so pure,
Who is the man who bore the burden
as bravely as he,
In the greatest struggle on land or
on sea?
Loving, sweet andlasting peace for all
the world,
Sweet thoughts of this peace has
many times unfurled;
Only trying to have peace to all the
world so fair,
Never doubt him, he looks to God in
prayer.
