BADLY UPSETS BOSTON
GAY-COLORED GALLUSES ARE
QUITE THE THING" NOW IN
THAT SEDATE TOWN

BOSTON, Mass-Boston simply
can not get over it.
The dangling suspenders, resurrect-
ed from modern mans huge rubbish
pile for the benefit and convenience
of the open-minded fapper, is the
dainty little article that is causing the
"oughs" and "ahs" among older folks.
First introduced in New York by
motion picture star, or a motion
picture stars publicity man, the things
finally reached Boston. And just like
the inconsequential baked bean they
are proving ever so popular and also
causing a lot of comment.

wearing a boyish bob and the sus-
penders too, conided that the gal

are fastened the pretty little skirt
stays right up where the pretty little
skirt belongs.

well, don't be taking up my time,
for as | said, these suspenders are
selling like the devil
The excited fappers about the coun-
ter were becoming more hostile in the
ttlssle to get nearer the article itself,
so the inquiring reporter fought his
way to a masculine floor manager, and
pleaded with him for the details.
Amt they the nifties, and that's
all | got to say" was the way he Gov
cred it, out OF the corner of his mouth.

SENTIMENT OF COUNTY.
BETTER HIGHWAYS WANTED

Federal and State Aid Can Be OBJ
tanned With Bond Issue, and Hard
Surfaced Roads Will Mean Both
Progress and Economy.
II plans now being formulated meet
with no unexpected delay the voters
will soon pass upon proposed bond
issue to pave the principal roads and
maintain Terrell's proud position as
one of Georgia's greatest counties.
As previously announced, the board
Of commissioners has instructed H. A.
Wilkinson, county attorney, to pre-
pare a resolution in proper form call
ING an election at which will be sub
mitted the question of bonds. Mr.
Wilkinson informs The News that he
will have both the resolution and the
advertisement ready when the COM
missioners hold their December meet
inc on Tuesday of next week, when
mail action will be taken and an cleo
ton ordered. 1t is understood that
the election will be called for some
date in January.
Will Vote on 100000.
The amount of the proposed bonds
will be approximately 100000, which,
with federal and state aid of more
than twice that amount, will be used
to pave approximately so miles of the
principal roads leading from Dawson
IN every direction.
There is already strong sentiment
in every section OF the county in ia
1or of hard surfaced roads, as shown
by the unanimous action of the grand
jury recommending that the county
commissioners submit the question OF
road bonds to the voters, and it is be-
lieyed that by the time the election
is held the opposition will be negligi-
ble
Ii the bonds are authorized it will
be several years before the paving
can be completed, and the bonds will
be issued and sold only as needed
BY that method the full amount OF
bonds will at no time be outstanding,
and considerable amount of them
will have been retired when the last
are sold
Terrell Should Get Share.
\ strong reason why Terrell coun-
ty should act promptly is that the fed
eral government may soon withdraw
its aid in road building President
Coolidge will ask the next congress
for such legislation, and Terrell coun-
ty should get her paving projects
through before it can be passed.
The county has been paying taxes
tor the road fund several years, ano
has not taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity to gets its share of this money
Other counties and states have beer
reaping the benefits of the money Ter
rell has paid, and unless the county
graSps the present opportunity to OBJ
tam federal aid it may be too late
An Outstanding Proposition.
The paving OF the principal roads
OF the county, especially the highway
travelled by tourists, is the most vita
proposition now confronting the coun-
ty. We are standing at the parting Of
the ways. Counties in every section OF
the state and on every side OF Terrell
are either paving or preparing to pave
and unless we issue bonds and get IN
line we will be practically isolated
People will not leave paved roads tc
come our way; they will purposely
avoid Terrell county.
Without paved roads we will tai
back into a secondary position. With
them we will advance with other pro
greSsive sections.

First Contract Let
On Stockton Bridge
Piers and Abutments to be Rebuilt
Immediately.

Last Friday at a meeting of the
Pennsylvania-New Jersey Joint Free
Bridge Commission in Philadelphia,
bids were opened for repairs to the
piers and abutments between Stock
ton and Center Bridge. The old
piers and ahutments supporting the
former wooden bridge, which was
burned at that place in July 1923,
are not strong enough to support
the steel structure which the Com
mission is to build there. The re-
pairs call for concrete reinforce
ments, or castings around these piers
and abutments.
Commissioner Louis Focht, engin-
Ger for the Commission, had esti-
mated the cost of this work at
$4,000 But when the bids were
opened they ran as high as $97 900.
The low bidder was James S. Nc
Cormick, of Easton, who was award
ed the contract at $51 900.
However, the contract had to be
let contingent upon the approval Of
titles to the bridge property by the
Attorneys General of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. Agreement has
been entered into between the Com
mission and the Bridge Company for
a price of $4,000 on the property,
but the Commission cannot take
title until the deeds have been APP
proved.
But it is not anticipated that there
will be any hitch in the titles be-
cause the property has not changed
hands since it was acquired by the
Bridge Company in 1873. The search
will take but a short time, bGt the
Commission let the contract on this
condition so that work could be
commenced Immediately title is ia
ken, and before the water in the
river rises.
Thus it is hoped thatthe founda-
ton work can be completed before
the next quarterly meeting Of the
Commission so shat contracts can be
let for the.steel superstructure. Com
missioner Focht says that it will
take about four months to have the
steel rolled at the Mills and thus
when the weather breaks in the
Spring the steel work will be ready
to start.
Contract was also let at the same
meeting for floor repairs to the
Phillipsburg Bridge at
cost of $4,000 to Carl Poinsett, of
Trenton.

a announcement

During the World War the
Lambertville Record and the
New Hope News were the only
papers in this part of the couu-
try which did not advance in
price when everything else went
up.
1t had been my hope to con-
tinue the old subscription rate,
but the costs of paper and
printing supplies continue to be
about three times higher than
they were before the War.
Consequently it becomes alb
solutely imperative to advance
the subscription price, so ON
JANUARY 1 1926. THIS PA
PER WILL BE $1.50 A YEAR.
However. all subscriptions
now in force will be continued
until expiration at the old rate.
AND ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS
RECEIVED BEFORE JAN

ED AT THE S1.00 RATE UP
TO FIVE YEARS IN AID
VANCE.
SO send in your renewals
