CANEY RIDGE ROAD TO
BE IMPROVED

The State Department of High
ways has advertised for bids on
project of improving the Caney
Ridge road between Omaha and
the Wise County line. This is one
of the county farm to market
roads which will receive federal
aid.
The citizens of that community
have put up a continued battle
to have the link between Rock
House Gap and the county line
hard-surfaced. They met with
constant objections from the resi-
dent engineer, but they have evil
IDENTIFY won their fight. It is not
known whether the improvement
project is one of widening and
Strengthening, or of hard surface

Drilling Of Deep Well

Citizens with home on and

much exercised about well
that is being drilled in the
hollow back of the old Chrisley
Childress home.
The people in that section
were not able to get water from
the town system and put down
wells of their own. Nearly all
of them installed electric
pumps, and these improvements
cost each householder an aver
age of $1,000. Now the company

nomination was made unanimous

Husbands Now Bringing
Good Price, According
To Report

Would any of you ladies take
$4,000 for your husband?
Mrs. Graden Stanley, who lives
in the Tivis community, has
about decided to close such deal.
1t appears that Mr.. Stanley grew
tired of the humdrum life on
Twin Branch two years ago and
betook himself to some point in
the state of West Virginia. Mrs.
Stanley, left with several chill
dren, got a warrant charging her
husband with non-support. Graz
den was brought before the court
here and ordered to pay his FAM
lily 500 a month until the young
est child, now five years of age,
should become eighteen. Graden
either lacked the means or the
willingness to comply with the
court order. He was brought back
again A young woman came from
West Virginia, paid up arrears,
and took Graden back to h e
Mountain State. Since then she
has kept up the payments.
Now Stanley's light-o'- love
writes the wife an interesting
proposition: If Mrs. Stanley will
give Graden a divorce, the West
Virginia beauty will pay in a
lump sum the amount that he
would have to pay over a period
of thirteen years. The total is
$15,6O0.
Neighbors have advised Mrs.
Stanley that she has been offered
a fair price, to say the least.

And now comes Kenos Stone,

which though unusual, is not past
belief. A few days ago he heard
a loud commotion at the home OF
Mrs. Elizabeth Mullins, Human
cries mingled with the frightened
cackling of chickens and the

Mrs. Stone hurried to offer their
neighborly services. Arriving,
they saw a giant turtle, with its
neck sticking out foot or more,
striking like serpent over the
body of a mangled chicken. Mrs.
Mullins grabbed hoe and went
after the varmint. She finally
chopped off his head, but the
body kept thrashing around for
several minutes. Kenos believes
this was the same big turtle he
saw when he moved to the COM
munity thirty-nine years ago.

A sociologist is one who STU
dies the habits, the customs, and
the ways of living among the
races of men. A group of Ameri-
can followers of the art and mys
terry of sociology have come up
with an interesting statement.
The American people, they say,
have gradually been grouped in
to six different social layers. The
members of the upper-upper
class are born into their places In
society. There is no other way OF
arriving. Inherited wealth and
distinguished parentage are nee
essary to put one into the upper
stratum. Next, is the lower-upper
crust-the newly rich. They ape
the ways and manners of those
above them; and though they
never get to the top, their chill
dren may reach the tableland,
Just below this crust are found
the two middle class layers, made
up of statesmen, small business
men, teachers, farmers and poll
ticians. Then in order, come the
upper-lower and the lower-lower
people. All the debtor classes OF
the social structure belong to one
of these groups; the prison popu-
lation, the buns, the casual la
borers, and all the rest of thta
great host which cannot make
the grade.
Within week or so, we shah
offer some comments on this neat
classification.
