The Bank Guaranty bill
has passed the 1 louse and is
now up to the Senate.
The State Railroad bill has
passed the House also, but
the provision to extend the
road beyond Palestine has
been stricken from the bill.
This was dou« because it was
learned definitely that the
Senate would not pass the
bill providing for the exten-
sion of the road. It was best
for the House to pass the bill

It has been suggested, and}
we think the suggestion a
good one, that Alto have a
trades day after the truck crop
begins to move. Other towns
have had these days, with
handsome returns, and we
doubt not that Alto, with her

fact an editor from a neigh-
boring county says: "Those
corsets should be done a way

without being squeezed, we
suppose men could be found
who wcitld sacrifice them-
selves. As old as we are, we'd
rather devote three hours a

The big fine against the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company

]JC business. Poor roads are the
expensive things .that curse a
country district. Years ago
there was some excuse for bad
loads, for the country was
poor. Now it is rich, there is
110 excuse. A good road is
always to be desired, and is a
source of comfort and conve-
nience to every traveler. Good
roads attract population, as
well as good schools and
churches. Good roads im-

Gno. B. Tkrreix.
When the people can be
made to understand that it
actually costs more in time
and money to travel over a
good farm connected , by a
good road. A larger load can
be drawn by oue horse over a
good road than by two over a
bad one. Good roads eucour-
age the greater exchange of
products and commodities be-
tween one section and another.
