THE story goes of some dullard pre-
sented to a great queen at one OF her
receptions and the only thing he saw
about her majesty was the wart on
her nose.

Of those mighty trees! They belong

JONES COUNTY GETS
$4,000 ROAD FUNDS
Efforts of Beard and County
Attorney Grow ned
with Success

Approximately s22. 900 has been
obtained from the State Highway Com
mission to be expended on Jones
county highways through the efforts
OF the county board OF supervisors
and it's attorney, G w. Hosey. The
money is to be expended on the Laurel
Ovett- Rich.ou road, soEth from
Laurel, and on the Jackson Highway
south from the Tallahala creek bridge
on the north edge OF the city.
Suit was filled some time ago against
the State Highway Department con
tending thai Jones county had never
received half OF the auto licens money
collected here, as provided by law,
and an INDUCTION was granted in Chan
cery Court restraining the sheriff
from paving any more snch funds into
the treasury OF the State Highway
Department.
CIV. Hosey, attorney for the coun-
ty supervisors, appeard before the
state Highway commissioners in
jackson this week and an agreement
was reached under which Jones coan-
ty gets all 1t sought.
The people of Jones county, and
especially those along the above
mentioned highways, appreciate fully
the splendid work Of Mr., Hosey In
curing this fund which had practi-
cily been lost to the county; and many
other counties lost theirs for lack OF
efficient efforts like Mr.. Hosey put
forth.
Fred Smiths efforts along this line
are appreciated, also, him being the
member of the highway commission
from this district. The Board OF Super
visors passed a resolution of appre-
citation of Mr.. Smiths services.

"dont want good nature to impose

took offence at what we said, and
thought they might net have said it.,
they acted as though they thought
"to hill with what the folks want 10
the matter, WE'LL NOT HAVE THE
REPORT PRINTED.
Now 1t doesn't mean nickel to us
We only want to carry to our readers
the news that will hello and inspire
them. That's as far as our indivi-
dual feeling goes in the matter.
BUT THE REPORT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN PRINTED. if not il

Patrons, teachers and pupils worked
hard for the success of the events.
Business men and others donated to

the public, so we are ed to believe
In order to 'get even' with The New

This tendency among public Off
cials 10 keep their carrying on" Sc
