Pathetic!

The girl was ragged, unkempt, and
the dark rings around her beautiful
eyes told of weeks of hunger and
privation. Dejectedly she leaned
against the gnarled trunk of the
mighty oak and passed a trembling
hand across her brow
And snOwfal7eS flickered in the
chilly breeze, causing her to SILVER.
Her lips framed prayer as she
gazed hungrily around.
''Ah" A cry Of joy escaped her lips
as she espied crust of bread lying
out on the snow-kissed grass.
Eagerly she pounced upon it, and
carried it to her trembling lips, and
ravenOusly devOured it.
Then voice echoed through the
wood: Fright, Miss DAINTY" and with
sigh of relief she hurried to her
waiting automobile and drove away to
her mansion
For she was a cinema star !-Shef-

every one expected it would. OF
course there was some opposition ;
that was perfectly natural.
This was one bond issue that was
necessary to complete and fill in

these roads incomplete the roads

completed we will be directly con.
nected with Maben and Louisville,
In Winston County which will give
us an auto route to South Missis,
sippi and the coast besides making
US closenneighbors with the thrlv.
Ing little city of Louisville. The
road connecting Cedar Bluff and
the Southern railway will put us in
touch with the great Mississippi
Delta. The Maben road is Of es-
peclal Importance. Maben is an
oktibbeha County town. but with
impassable roads, West Point was
more accessible both bv dirt road
and iail and consequently the
Mabenities made West Point Their
town expect when they had to come
here to attend court or pay taxes.
Now that we are to be connected BY
