ROAD COMMISSION ORGANIZED.
Preparing To Spend Some of the
Railroad Taxes On the Public
Roads of Sauratown Township.
Walnut Cove, Aug. 21.—A
meeting was held here Monday
and the Sauratown Road Com
uiisaion elected cs follows : Com
missioners—Dr. E. Fulp, A. J. i
Fair and Eugpne IS. Withers. 
Secretary and Treasurer, John A.
Burton. The Treasurer is
required by law to give a $5,000
bond, which is evidently an error
in the law, as the fund which '
Sauratown gets is only $500.00.
Yet we understand that Mr. i
Burton will arrange the bond all
right, and that the work of
improving the roads will go for- 1
ward at once, which will be good
news to everybody. This fund,
it will be remembered, is the tax
money which the courts recently
decided must be paid over by
the Sheriff to reimburse the
citizens of three townships,
Sauratown, Meadows and Dan
bury, for the money they paid as
railroad taxes. The other two!
townships get an equal amount i
to this. We think that the
people, who have suffered over
the condition of the .roads
between Walnut Cove
and Danbury from time
whereof the memory of niao run
neth not to the contrary should
tender Dr. Jones a vote of thanks.
He has been tbe cause of this.

SAD OCCURRENCE NEAR SANDY
RIDGE.
Mr. Will Ziglar, a Prominent Citizen
Of Sandy Ridge, Kills Himself
With a Shot Gun.
Mr. Will Ziglar. a prominent
citizen of the Sandy Ridge sec
tion, shot and instantly killed him
self with a shot gun at his home
early Tuesday morning of this
week. Whether the occurrence
was a pure accident or whether it
was done intentionally is not and
probably never will be known.
The particulars as given the Re
porter are that Mr. Ziglar arose at
about 5 o'clock Tuesday morning
while all the members of his fam
ily except one or two of his small
children were asleep and went out
into the'yard with his gun. Soon
the report of the gun was heard in
the yard and upon investigation it
was found that he had shot him
self. the contents of the gun strik
ing just under the chin and pass
ing out through the top of the
head. It is learned that 110 cause
can be assigned for Mr. Ziglar
taking his own life intentionally
and the community is at a loss to
understand why and how the sad
occurrence came about.
The deceased was a son of Mr.
Leonard Ziglar. and was a good,
hardworking citizen. He was high
ly respected and liked by every
one and will bo missed in his
community. He leaves a wife and
five children besides other rel
atives and friends to mourn his
death.

That Automobile Incident.
Editor Reporter :
I notice in your last week's is
sue what the writer thought was a
good joke on Dr. Hanes with his
automobile in a mud hole. Now,
I am sure if Mr. Zel> had thought
the second time and lmd remem
bered that he is, as I believe, one
of the J. P.'s of his township, a
supervisor of roads, and very
much responsible for the bad
roads and mud holes where auto
mobiles want to go, he surely
would have kept it a secret that
his roads were in such a condi
tion. I'm sure he did the nice
thing to pull them out even a
dozen times if necessary and put
them beyond his township line
free of cost, and then to have kept
it a profound secret, not because
Dr. Hanes wanted him to do so,
but for the remorse of his own
conscience.
BAD ROADS.
