The people in Tillman are in bad
fix indeed for roads. 1t is nearly inn

to spend the bulk Of this $4,000 from
Rocky Springs to Grindstone Ford.
Let US review this good roads move
ment IN our district; Last year an
election was called carrying a heavy
bond issue to build a good road on the
west side of the district. It was de-
teated, as most of the voters thought
It was an unfair proposition. Now
this petition is worded SO that this
S6o,0O0, can be used partially or i'm
partially and Mr.. Regan saws two If
the commissioners will be appointed
on the road from Grindstone Ford to
Kinds county line, and we don't wish
to throw temptation in their way.
Be sure and come down Saturday

all the good folks you can.

Mr.. BYRNES REPLIES
and CALLS ROAD MEETING

Carlisle, April 12, 1920.
Editor Reveille:
In reply to Mr.. ]. A. Regan's letter
Of April 9th will say am going to
ask him to come to Hickory Ridge
school house Saturday, 18th, at three
o'clock +. M. to good roads meeting
which is to be held at this hour, and
will take pleasure in showing him
where got my information in regard
to the $4,000 bond issue to be used
on the Port Gibson and Raymond
roads, also Hankinson road.
AS to the commissioners having
come from the same neighborhood
find was in error. Mr.. Regan stat
ed on Friday last he would appoint
the commissioners-one from Rocky
Springs, one from Hickory Ridge, one
from Reganton. He also stated the
bulk of the $4,000 bond issue would
6e used on the road from Rocky
Springs to Grindstone Ford bridge
and a bridge for Little Sand. He al
so stated the Hankinson road would
not get any thing, and if the commits
sioners used any of the money for
this road he would have them put off.
Now ] am going to ask the voters
at 8 o'clock Saturday, April 18th, so
we can get together on the good road
proposition. We expect a large at
tendance and some lively debates at
this meeting. So don't miss it.

LISTEN. EVERYBODY,

Next week-the day to be announ-
ced later-the Road Commissioners
have most generously offered the use
OF their trucks to move the trash that
is accumlating from the cleaning go
ing on over the town, and | am going
to ask that every one begin at once
to gather up every thing they want
carried off and place it in the street
where it can be reached readily and
quickly. Extend your efforts to the
middle Of the street for this one occa-
sion and take up all bits of glass,
broken brick, etc, that may be there
or in the bitches, and put in barrels
or boxes where possible. Get to work
every body, and let's make the best
Of this splendid offer.
| would like to take this opportun-
ity to thank not only each of the COM
missioners, but every man in Port
Gibson for the kindness, considera-
tion, and rare courtesy with which /
have been treated since the day / took
charge, as well as their more than
gracious assistance in a work entirely
new to me. We may not vet have
the cleanest town in the state, but
my experience has proved that our
people cannot be equaled.

OVERALLS CLUB
Being ORGANIZED
Large Number Of Business Men
Pledge Themselves to Don the
WOrkingman's Garb at An Early
Date.

This week Marshal Rowan has been
circulating a petition for signatures
for the organization of an "overalls
Club, the signers pledging themsel-
yes to wear overalls as protest a.
gainst extravaganza.
The petition was largely signed,
most of the business men, besides
employees Of all kinds readily be-
coming members of the new organi-
zation.
The club is to hold meeting in
the near future and decide upon the
date for general appearance of the
men of Port Gibson in overalls. It
is said that some of the dudishly in
clined have frowned upon the move
ment, but these are largely in the mi
nority.
The ladies became interested in the
movement, and they are discussing
the advisability Of organizing a ging-
ham club, the members to all wear
gingham. Gingham is expensive e.
nough, but it's long way saner than
800 to 5000 suits.

sKovGAARD AT PORT GIBSON.

The Skovgaard musical at the Fe-
male College Saturday evening was
greatly enjoyed by full house.
Skovgaard is great violinist and his
wife is equally fine on the piano. The
performers were wise in selecting
numbers which, while classical, did
not over-shoot the audience.
Miss Freeman as a vocalist can not
be classed with the other two per-
formers. Her style is pleasing, and
she has her voice well under control
but it lacked compass and volume.
Such entertainments as this are in
structive and elevating, and we should
make an effort to have them oftener.
