Road Commissioners
 Employ Attorneys

The board of commissioners of
 the new road improvement district held a meeting Monday afternoon
 and gave further consideration to the employment of an engineer und- CT whose direction the new road system will be constructed. There are many applicants for the place and the commission is proceeding cautiously and making rather ex- haustive investigations into the quail ifications of the applicants with a view of choosing the right man for this important position. Daggett X
 Daggett were employed as attor- neys for the district on fee of one per cent. Members of the com mission stated that this is the low est fee paid to any attorrieys of road improvement districts in the state, so far as they are advised. In St. Francis county the attorneys get five per cent, and over the state tSe fee for attorneys runs from three to five per cent. It is ex- pected at the next meeting of the board final action will be taken on the employment of an engineer, fol lowing which preliminary surveys will be made, plans drawn and es- inmates on the cost of the improve ment furnished the commissioners All this information will be filed with the county court for approval

Closer Spacing of
 Cotton is Necessary

All of the experiment stations agree that the cotton plant space in the drill, inches apart doubles the yield per acre against the old rule of spacing Is to 24 inches. It would add much to the yield if the ground is not already prepared, to narrow the rows, that you may be able to get more cotton on the ground. This applies to all grades of ground and all varieties of seed. Can landlords afford not to get this information to their tenants? Can grower of cotton afford not to make this change in cultivation, do less chopping or work and double his return? Have fewer acres in cotton, more cotton on the ground, it will give you more land and more time to grow corn. I am speak ing not only from the information that any of you can get from the agricultural departments of the diff ferent states, but have tried it out, and can prove that I know what l am talking about.
 Very truly,
 W. B. MANN.

Use Dynamite To
 BLdst Big Ditch

A drainage ditch two miles long to drain Cow Oak slash northwest of Marianna will be blasted with dynamite during the next few weeks M. H. Ford and J. M Hewitt, act ing for the property owners whose lands are in the district have award ed contract to the Hercules Pow der Company to do the work at a price of $2.500. The district was created several years ago by spec ial act of the legislature. At one time bids for this work were called for and the lowest price made was $6,00O. This bid was based on dig ging the ditch in the usual way. By the use of dynamite the ditch can be blasted to an absolute grade and the dirt will be thrown all over the adjoining land, thus doing away with the high levees made when the ditch is dug by the usual process. No bonds for this work will be is- sued. Messrs. Ford and Hewitt have agreed to put up the money and the taxes on the land benefited will be extended on the tax books and from the collections Messrs. Ford and Hewitt will be reimbursed. Those owning land in the district are M. H. Ford, J. R. Felton, Robt. Bryant, J. M. Hewitt, John Davis, Bowden place, Wilson place, Fore man place, Jno. Jacks place and Otey place.

Benham Selling Out
 To Take Life Easy

J. Benham remarked the other day that he landed in Marianna forty years ago when the burg was wearing swaddling clothes and gave very little promise of becoming the splendid little city it now is. MT. Benham has led most active life. He is a bundle of energy and has had prominent part in the com mercial activities of Marianna. Re- gently, however, he has been wind ing up his business preparatory to taking a rest. He has sold his home on Alabama street to Robt. Bryant, colored farm demonstrator, the consideration being $8,000. He has also disposed of his farming interests and his stock in the Ma rianna Ice & Storage Company. He is still interested with W. B. Mann in the cotton gin. MT. Benham and Mr. Mann have been associated in many business and farming enter prises. They are fine pals and their association has been mutually agreeable and pleasant. It is proba- ble MT. Benham will retain his in- terests with MT. Mann because he would feel completely lost if he should shake his old partner

By proclamation of Mayor O. G. Norment Tuesday, May II, has been officially designated as Tag Day Tn Marianna, the object being to raise funds for the work carried on by the Civic Improvement League. The or ganization has only limited mem- bership and it's funds are derived from the payment of dues by the members amounting to ten cents month for each member. At this much work to be done by the League in keeping up the city park and other public places the organization needs much more money than the payment of dues by the members amounts to, consequently it has been decided to put on "Tag Day"
 Mrs. J. I. Morris, the chairman of the tag day work requests all the members of the League and all others who are interested in beau tifying the city to meet at the city park at two o'clock on next Tues day afternoon to form Tag Day parade. Those having cars are es- pecially urged to take part in the parade.
 The formal proclamation issued by Mayor Norment is as follows: Proclamation PURPOSE-To obtain funds for the Identification and maintenance of the City Park and for other pub lie good

LiUe Clubs WOrking
 At Aubrey ard ROndO

County Agent E. B. Whitaker and Prof. w. N. Pittman have just or ganized splendid Boys and Girls Agricultural Club in the Aubrey High school. This is the second year that these pupils have had a club and one would be surprised to see how much they know about parliamentary rules and procedure. There are seven members raising poultry, five who have purebred Jersey calves, five with purebred pigs, and only one growing corn. It might be well to say that these club members are not only organized but every one of them is doing something. They are very enthu- siastic and are just the right age to put the club work over in "big league style"
 The following is a list of mem- bers: Marvin Thompson, president Brunette Snipes, vice president Marguerite Gideon, secretary; Helen Brown, Thelma Billingsley, Junius Brown, Toliver Brown, Mary Glenn Brown, Faye Caruthers, Hortense Lawson, Ruby Lawson, Otto Melton, Leland Bailey, Marcus Harris and Raymond Harris. The people of Aubrey and Lee county at large are expecting great things from this bunch of youngsters.
 The boys and girls of the Rondo high school met on Wednesday April 18th and re-organized their club with an enrolment of twelve members. They expressed a de- sire to confine their membership to those boys and girls who would really do something as they did not want to enroll any "deadwood." !" They have five members growing purebred pigs, four growing poultry and two growing corn. Every mem Der showed keen interest and had all ready started in to make this year the best one that Lee county has ever had in club work. They are planning to look after the social as well as the working side of their life and with this end in view, a picnic for the near future is being discussed The little town of Ron do is live one and will back these youngsters to the limit-the only thing they want to know is that they are in earnest and we are sure they are.
 The following girls and boys com pose the club: Thomas Gist, presi- dent; Tommie May Kirby, vice pres ident; Eva Lena Dice, secretary !; Charles Adams, James Burkett, Mar win Critttenden, Mamie Dice, Spenc- CT Pennington, Earman Dice, Mar guerite Pennington, Buell. Wells and Jeff D. Campbell.
