OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
GOOD ROADS.

A recent drive through the
country convinced us that Nc
Marry County has some as good
dirtToads as Madison and Chest
er counties; and the roads in
these two progressive counties
are good.
1t has been demonstrated by ex-
perts in road building that the
sand-clay road is one of the best
roads that can be built. In some
sections of the country sand and
clay are hauled for miles so that
the proper amounts of each may
be ground into the road bed. In
McNairy County, especially over
the northern part of the county,
the soil seems to contain the
sand and clay in the proper por-
tons, and in that condition, all
that is required is to grade the
roads, keep the water off by side
bitches and drag them after the
rains. The main work is in build
ing the grade and this is easily
done with our big tractor and
grader and the Hockaday crew.
We understand that this crew
is working the road from Finger
by way Of Leapwood to Adams
vile; and that when this is COM
pleted they will complete grad
ing the old stage road from Ad-
amsville to Selmer. When this is
done. we hope these roads will
be maintained so that travel will
not have to stop this winter on
account of the mud.
Doctor those old chronic bad
places and mud holes right now
with sand. Now is the time to
do the work and get ready for
the winter mud.

THE VAMPIRE WHO WON MIL
LIONS.

q HE was woman beloved by two
Y kings. She sold the secrets Of
each to the other. and made millions
In the process. -
Louis XIV first loved dainty Louise
de la Querouaille. But the historians
say that she proved unfaithful to her
royal admirer. Louis did not let this
prevent him from sending her to Eng
land in the train Of court lady hound
there on visit Of state. And he told
Louise to eaptivate Charles II Of Eng
land. Then she was to send him
news Of England's statecraft and to
influence Charles SO that he would
make concessions which the French
monarch wanted. For all Of which
Louis engaged to pay her handsomely.
Louise found the occupation such
an easy one that she decided 1t would
be just as simple to sell Charles news
Of Louis and his policies. So she re-
ceived much gold from both kings, but
1t Is said that she never informed
Charles of anything more than trivial
matters. remaining loyal to her own
land.
This double traffic made Louise q
very rich woman. But her ambition
craved greater honors. She persuad-
ed the English king to make her
duchess Of Portsmouth, and as such
she was thoroughly despised by the
English people. In addition to
dealing In secrets Of state she
welded her influence at the two courts
to. obtain many political appointments.
for whlcn size was duty PAID by the
appointees. But Louise was not suf-
s ficientTy wise to. hold all of this money,
for she became devotee of the gam
ing tables and lost large amounts with
superb indifference. At home she
induced Louis to give her a high
position In the French court, telling
Charles that her visits to Paris were
for the purpose of obtaining informa.
tion about the plans of Louis. Then
Charles suddenly died, In 1856. His
successor, James II, packed Louise OF
to France, bag and baggage. Much of
her wealth had been dlssipated. She
found herself without an occupation.
her English possessions lost, and only
scanty welcome at home. And in
the course OF little while she dis
appeared from court. her purse pen
niless. Louis paid heed to her mis-
fortunes and granted small pension
which served to sustain the arch spy
and vampire for the remainder Of her
brief days,
