Dear Friend Robt.--
We have in our County at the pre-
sent time STA miles of concrete road.
1ns two miles along the lake, you
reEember we took a ride over when
yol were here two years ago, has
boen built twelve years and is a fine
road today, and you know it gets a
lot # travel as every body in the
theast part of the county must
come over it to get to the county
seat. Then in the summer time
thcre are thousands of fishermen
come to the lake using that road. The
upkeep of cement roads has been very
triiiing.
The other roads have been built at
various times. Next to the lake-bank
road the Oldest is about nine years,
and of course there have been some
built every year since that time. Last
year seven and one half miles were
built, this year 1922, nine miles will
be built, and in 1928 there will be
fifteen and one-half miles built.
We now have concrete road be-

WAR;

The boys and girls of the Olive
Branch School organized two COM
panies, captained by Ernest Precht
and Kenneth Fraker and waged, a
four weeks war on the rats, sparrows,
mice, hawks and crows.
They killed 382 rats, 1896 spar
rows, 399 mice, 6 hawks and 8 crows.
Ernest Precht's side won and as a
reward will be entertained by the
losers with five o'clock supper at
the school house Friday, Feb. 18th.
1t is difficult to say just what the
damage these pests and their off
spring would have done in the next
year. 1t is safe estimate, how
ever, that the killing will result in a
saving of hundreds of dollars to the
farmers of this community.

WHARTON DENIES
 HE HEADS STRIKE
R. R. Board Member Brands Story to This Effect as Abso-
 lutely False.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Emphatic de- nial of charges that he is serving not only as member of the United States Labor Board but also as president of the striking shop crafts organization was made today by A. o. Wharton, one of the labor members of the board.
 Mir. Wharton made the report when informed by a dispatch saying the charges would be contained in an article in the September issue of a New York ma agazine quoting an- other member of the federal arbitra- ton body as saying the shopmen's strike was engineered from inside the labor board
 MT, Wharton was president of the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor from 1912 to 1920 when he was appointed to the labor board. He said he was reelected president at the unions convention last April but that his re- election was merely a formal tribute in appreciation of past services
 Tt was specifically understood" he said, that I was not to serve as head Of the organization and that l was not to do anything that conflicts with my duties as a member of the labor board"

THINK MRS. RESELL MAY YET BE ALIVE
Mapping Woman Who Disappear ed, May Be Acting Like Mother

Mapping, Aug. 31.-Is Nina c. Bis- sell, S4, of Mapping duplicating the experiences of her mother, who, it Is said, disappeared in a similar man. ner many years ago but returned aft CT having wandered in a confused state of mind for three weeks in swamps and woods? This is a ques- ton residents are asking each other today. At that time. the mother of Mrs Bissell was mysteriously missing for three weeks and searching par ties. numbering between 30 and 40 neighbors. secured the woods and swamps in the upper section of wap- ping and Ellington. The woman left tracks and articles of clothing in her path, which led the searchers to be- lieve that she was dead. The inability of the posse to find Mrs. Rissell to this date leads some to think that she is dead although others, includ- ing local officials. think she may turn up as her mother did.
 Another theory is that Mrs. Bissell is alive and is getting sustenance from berries apples. vegetables and drink ing water in the woods and in many gardens in the locality Constable Johnson states that most of the cloth- ing worn by Mrs. Bissell has been found The clothing has been iden- ti1ed by Mrs Robinson, a neighbor, who helped to dress Mrs. Bissell on the morning of her disappearance.
 It is now 1e days since the aged womans disappearance and searching parties have secured the vicinity daily, but to no avail save the finding of the clothing and footprints on Sum- day of last week. Tuesday afternoon Constables Johnson. Elmore and Ben iamin set out and went farther north than other searchers, but, due to darkness they were forced to give up their hunt. "As the harvesting of to- bacco is now at its height, it is difn- cult for many of the neighbors and town officials to give very much time to the search of her" said Constable Johnson.
