Asked about the probable direction
from which the West road would ap-
proach the town of Yorkville, Super
visor. Brown said, in effect:
Certainly 1 want the road to come
By the route that is most convenient
to those that have the travelling to do,
present and future. / don't hesitate TO
say that in my Judgment the best route
is into West Liberty street by the Jail.
But, as you we'll know the heaviest
and most expensive work is after we
enter the incorporate limits and the
building of the road will virtually
mean Improvement of the streets OF
the town. l hardly think we will be
warranted under the law in doing a
great deal of this without very ma
terial help from the town. The West
road commission is willing to do the
right thing and so am L; but the town
is also q party to the proposition after
we strike the corporate limits. No /
do not want to go around the town to
get in it if can help it; but we must
have some help
Cooperative Marketing.
What we want to do" said Mr.. A..
A. McKeown. of the farm idenlonstra-
ton service, Friday. lis to present that
coopertive marketing proposition TO
the farmers. and Of course if they do
not like it, it is up 20 them. But am
'catisfed it is a good proposition. 1t
contemplates the idea OF putting the
cotton in the hands of an organization
which will know how to handle it to
the best advantage. The. owner of the
cotton is free to raise money on 1t IL ne
wants to and there will be no trouble in
getting all the money he is entitled 10
all that he could get under any con-
ditions. But with the cooperative mar
kcting association in control of a sulh-
cient amount of cotton, it will be able
TO place that cotton to better advantage
than it can he placed by any individual
holder. But l am not trying to explain
the full details of the carefully worked
ont plan. ] want the farmers to come
ont to the meetings and listen TO the
sneakers who will be able to make the
whole thing comprehensive to any
body"
Intereot in School Work.
"T feel very much encouraged on aC-
count of the interest the people arc
taking i'm education week" said Super
intcndcnt John r. Carroll, Saturday,
though il would not bc fair for me To
say that am surprised, because q"
not believe that there is Il county IN
The state in which the people generally
show = more Intelligent interest in tins
subject.
but so far have had assurance
from a number of different schoo! dis
tricts that the people would be turn
ing out to meetings and I" visit TN"
schools. Among the schools from
which [ have had specific reports
so far, might mention Bethany
Pine Bluff, Sharon, Philadelphia
Bccrsheba, Iancy, Bethesda, Rock Hill'
Oak Ridge and Hopewell, and have
reason to believe that no less interest
is heinz felt among most of the others
In fact. am looking for the outcom-
ing Of not less than 1000 patrons and
maybe n great many more. Perhaps
can tell you more about it by next
Friday and certainly by next Tuesday
and if the report is not a good one
tber Won may say that have been de-
ccived in my anticipations.'
AS to Sealed Sentences.
In connection with the criminal pro-
r.durc is the custom of trying a de-
rcpdant in his absence and upon his
conviction. the judge leaves a sealed
sentence for him. There was such II
,os, ot the recent term of the court
or ,,crcral sessions, and the convicted
man was pretty soon afterward ar
rested: but there came up the qu'S-
lion as to how to get at the sentence
Sheriff Quinn thought he had rcc"l-
! ctton of case where up"ns inc az
rest of the absent defendant, the cierh
lrolie omen the envelope, and let inc
ro,ro,v 90 ahead and serve his sentence.
