Let's Build The
Coeburn Road
This Road Is Badly Needed and
Should Be Built at Once.

The time has arrived for the State
Highway Commission to commence
the building of the road from Clint
wood to Coeburn. This section needs
this badly, and will need it worse,
probably if the Interstate Commerce
Commission grants the concession
PRAYED for by the c. C. IL 0. Rail
way. This railroad is asking pernis,
sion to take two of its passenger
trains from its lines running from
Erwin to Elkhorn City. To do this
will be great drawback to the bust
ness all along its line throughout this
state, and would hit this section
hard If the Commission grants the
prayer of the railroad there will be
only one course to pursue. That is
to withdraw all freight shipments,
mail, express, etc. from the c. c. &
O. and make Coeburn the freight and
mail terminal for this section. Ow-
ing to the excessive freight rates,
Coeburn as our shipping point would
be a saving in freight and give US
our mail earlier. 1t would give bet
ter service to those living on the
star routes. There are quite num-
Der of good reasons why this change
should be made, not necessary to
enumerate, and now is the time to
spur up the Highway Commission
into action. They have been too slow
in the road building and we are now
knee deep in the mud from Coeburn
to the West Virginia line. Now such
conditions do not exist down in the
Tidewater section of the state. We
think (while not kicking any more
than we have right to-not as
much) this section has not been Civ
en- fair deal, yet We pay high
tax for road building. We are just
simply in mud hole. Are there any
individuals with courage enough to
start this ball arolling. Well roll the
biggest stone if we can get any help
worth darn.

BASKETBALL.

The D. M. II. S. boys and girls
teams added two more games to the
won column by winning both ends of
a double header with the teams repre-
senting St. Paul High School on the
local court last Saturday night. The
D. NJ. H. S. girls, inspired by the
thought of obtaining revenge for the
defeat recently administered by the
tall ST. Paul lassies, played by far
their best game of the season. The
game was a thriller from beginning
to end, first one team and then the
other breaking into the lead. The
score when the final whistle blew
was 14-12. 1t would be impossible
to name any particular stars for D.
NJ H. s., as every member of the
team played stellar basketball.
In the boys game, the lead of the
D. M. H. S. five was never threaten
ed except in the first quarter. The
final score was d. NJ. H S. IS, st.
Paul 8.
On Saturday, January IL, at 1880
P. NJ. the boys and girls basketball
teams of D. NJ. H. S. will meet the
strong teams representing Norton
High School on the floor of the D.
NJ. r. S. gymnasium. This will mark
the first local appearance of Norton
team for some years. The D. M. H.
S. boys and girls have been going at
a fast clip this season, but they are
none too confident, for the Thanks
giving football game shows that the
Norton teams have way of kicking
over the D. M. H. S. dope bucket
which is downright discouraging. 1t
is hoped that a good crowd of fans
will be on hand to lend their support.

SUPERVISORS MEET

The Board of Supervisors met last
Tuesday in regular session which
lasted until in the afternoon Wednes-
day. Other than routine BUSINESS
there were held a joint session Of
the Supervisors and the School Board
on Tuesday which was supplemented
with the presence of more than a
hundred citizens who had been called
by Supt. ]. H. T. Sutherland to ex-
press their views on the proposed
school program which has heretofore
been mentioned and which will be
discussed again in a later issue.
The program as outlined by Mr..
Sutherland, and as was presented to
the Board of Supervisors, met with
very little opposition from the citi-
zens and was very enthusiastically
discussed by many in attendance.
The program in brief, as was pre-
sented by Supt. Sutherland, was to
have a special election held on May
/, 1880, for the purpose of voting on
a school bond fund in the sum of
$125,000 to take care of necessary
buildings and repair work. This
amount to be distributed throughout
the county were ever needed. AL
though the Board of Supervisors re-
fused to recommend to the circuit
Judge to call this special election,
the School Board is not discouraged
and will continue to battle for the
necessary and much needed financial
aid.

A NUISANCE

The corner at Dotson's store is
nuisance. Mr.. Dotson is not RESPONSE
Bile for it, but lot of unthinking
boys and girls and grown men are.
They congregate on this corner in
groups and crowds and stand there
like they were the towns statuetts,
undmindful of the fact that they are
crowding other people and school
children into the streets, thus en-
dangering thier lives from contact
with automobiles To abate this nui-
sance the town authorities should set
up and take notice. Danger turks
on that corner.

well. We have a good attendance all
Che time, through bad weather as
we'll as pretty.
The pupils have organized a
health league. The officers for this
work are: Health Officer, Leonard
Elkins; Health Nurse, Martha Suth-
erland. The officer looks after the
fires, sees that the floor is clean, the
water cooler filled and emptied Of
ten, regulates window shades and
tries to keep the thermometer near
sixty-eight degrees.
The nurse gets us if we don't have
clean hands, necks, ears, face and
teeth. Also, we must have a clean
handkerchief every day or she puts
our name on the black list. We have
to take off our coats and our shoes in
the house. If we have dirty faces
or hands she sends US out to wash in
the creek. These frosty mornings the
water is not very pleasant either.
