ING Of the school two days will be de-

under whom summer work has been
done The fall examinations will be
given by the regularly employed
teachers Of the school under the di-
rection Of the CITY superintendent.

Matching eggs to Mr.. R. Anthony, Vic

Matched II chicks 600 per cent,
hatch) all very strong and lively,
and several were out of the shell

REV. C. L. BOWDEN
RECEIVES MANY HON0Rs

Rev. Chesley L. Bowden, who re-
Gently completed a literary course in
Union University, Jackson, Tenn, has
made an enviable record as a student
Of that institution. He was identified
IN some. capacity with almost every
branch Of University social welfare
activities, and few students of the
university ever carried away so, many
honors AZ did Mr.. Bowden.
Mr.. Bowden was president and
manager of the Debating Club, presi-
ent of the A. E. F. Club for three con-
secutive years. worthy master Of the
"A. n o. fraternity president for three
years Of Union University. Glee Club
and held every office twice in the
CaIliopean Literary Society. Recently
he won the highest honors within the
gift Of the school as a debater, these
honors being shared equally by only
one other student.
Mr.. Bowden will, spend several
weeks with relatives in this county,
and later in the summer he will con-
duct a series Of protracted meetings
in different sections Of the country.
After this work has been done he will
enter the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Louisville. KY, where he
viii complete his education for the
ministry.

Street construction machinery and
all other implements necessary in
paving the public square here were
unloaded at. the depot Monday morn
ing. The dornady Construction Co.,
of Memphis, contractors, will begin
the improvement this week. Mr..
Faris I. Walker. a member Of the
firm, will supervise the work.
The public square and East Pleas
ant avenue, from the square one
block east to Maple street, will be
paved with crushed limestone, coated
with Kentucky rock asphalt, or the
same material, including the concrete
curbing, that was used on the other
streets of the city recently improved,
According to the contract, the pro-
ject will be completed within three
months after the work on it has be-
gun.
The cost of the improvement has
been estimated at about 100000, six
per cent. bonds covering this amount
having been sold and delivered, bring
ing par value and premium of 5000
net. |. B. Tigrett & Co.. brokers, of
Jackson, Tenn, were the purchasers
of the municipal bonds.
AS is commonly understood, the
abutting property owners will be
taxed under the front-foot assessment
process. The estimated assessment
against the property owners on East
Pleasant-avenue will not exceed S5.75
per front foot. On the public square,
the matter will be handled differently
on account Of the courthouse resting
in the center and abutting on all four
sides of the square. If the tentative
program of assessment is carried out
by the board, property owners on the
square will be assessed one-third OF
the cost, which will amount to some-
thing more than S11 per front foot.
In this event the city will share two
thirds Of the tax burden instead OF
one-third as heretofore. Should the
county decline to share any of the
expense of the improvement it is
probable that a greater assessment
will 5e made against the property
owners on the square.
The bid of the Hornady Construct
ion Co. was S26,396, or several hun
dred dollars lower than the sum pro-
vided by the corporation for the cost
Of the work. This company has had
considerable experience in using rocR
asphalt in both Tennessee and Ken
tucky, and it is the belief of many
experts that this type Of asphalt is
superior to any other if it is put down
properly.
Local laborers, if available in suf
ficient numbers viii be employed by
the contractors. The work. as above
stated, will be supervised by Mr.
Walker, and his expert assistants.

BOY sCoUT CAMP

Boy Scout Troop No. 2 is planning
to 90 into summer camp June II. The
Scouts are busy this week making
their final arrangements to leave on
Monday morning at 1880. The loca-
tion Of the camp is at Craven Valley,
just beyond Sugar Loaf Hill, on the
road from Randolph to Richardson's
Landing.
About a week ago the Scouts Sc
ected the place for their camp. Thew
feel that it is ideal for the purposes.
It is remote enough to be entirely off
the beaten track and yet within easy
reach of telephone for communica-
tion if necessary. There is a spring
of excellent water and a broad open
space for cooking: and then there is
a hill Immediately above the spring,
probably $50 feet in enough
Of an elevation to be reasonably free
from mosquitoes. This hill is well
wooded, providing shelter in addition
to the tents which the Scouts will
use.
The Scouts will sleep in tents in
case of inclement weather, but if
there is no rain they will sleep in the
open Mosquito nets should be car
ried if possible, but some sort Of So
luton will be provided for spraying
and for rubbing on hands and faces
to keep the mosquitoes away
Any Scout in Troop 2, who is in
good standing, is eligible for this
camp. It is expected that practically
the entire membership Of the troop
will go. The camp is to last through
Friday Of the same week, the boys
returning Friday evening.
It is planned to have the same
rations for the whole camp. A fee
sufficient to cover the cost Of the sup
plies is deposited with the scoutmas-
ter, who buys the rations and supplies
and all Scouts will be served alike.
No firearms win be allowed in the
camp, with the exception of one shot
gun and one small rifle. One of
these must remain in the camp al
ways and the other may be used for
hunting. Thus there will be the mini.
mum Of risk from that source.
The Scouts are elated over the kind
ness of several friends who have vol
unteered the offer of their automo-
biles to carry the Scouts to camp and
come for them at the end of the camp.
It was the original plan to hike to
the camp,
From funds that have been raised
BY the payment of monthly dues the
Scouts will buy the equipment for the
kitchen. This equipment viii be their
and will be turned over to
the troop storekeeper after the camp
for use on subsequent camps.
Scouts are members Of national
registered Individually
in the New York headquarters and
as to uniform, etc, by fed
eral laws. The larger part of Troop
2 is composed of seeond-class scouts,
many Of whom are well on the way
to the rank Of first-class. Each bows
rank is recorded in New York The
Summer camp is one Of the greatest
features Of the whole organization,
and Is an event looked forward to
with the greatest eagerness by every
troop

CLOVER DISEASE A MYSTERY

Reports come from all sections Of
Upton county and neighboring coun-
ties shat red clover is affected with
strange disease, the leaves being
covered with a dry white formation
and the fields looking very much as
if they had been sprinkled heavily
with white powder.
Specialists at the experiment sta
ton at Knoxville are unable to state
what the trouble is or what would be
the effect Of feeding the clover.
"A dispatch to the Commercial APP
peal Monday from Union City states
that the farmers in that section are
blowing the clover under.

The first serious washout of the
rainy season was reported yesterday
when word was received of the car
rying away of 1000 feet of track of

II miles east of Nogales. 1t was
first reported that the cement bridge
across the San Pedro river at Fair
bank had been washed out, with
about a mile of railroad track.
A telephone message from Fair
bank last evening proved that there
was no washout at that point al
though the river had been higher
the last two days than at any other
time during the present rainy season.
The washout at Calabasas occurred
yesterday morning when a cloudburst
occurred in the hills above Calabasas.
Several small bridges were washed
out ON the railroad. Culverts ewere
