In regard to county matters, the legislature will be asked to allow the people of the county tne oppor tunity to vote on a bond issue of from three to five hundred thou sand dollars for bonds for good roads. Sentiment for this measure is picking up strength rapidly and it is fairly safe to say that if an opportunity is given the people of the county to vote on the question, they will vote to issue a certain amount of bonds for good, rock roads.

Last Sunday the 7th was the day the Southern's new schedule went into euect. Wide changes are made in the case of some trains, while others remain practically the same as they have been.

No. 36, which arrived at 11 :16 when on time, which it hasn't been for a year, roughly speaking, will now arrive, it is hoped, at 12:33, p. m. No. 88, formerly due at 9:68, is due now at 11:05, p. m. No. 40 is moved from 12:55 to 3.23, a. m. The most interesting change at all is the new time for trains 35 and 12. The thirsty go to Salis buryton 35 and hope ten. get back on 12, but often lateness of 35 made this impossible." Now, however, 35 goes down over an hour earlier and 12 is pushed back more than a quarter of an hour, so the tnp can be made all in one night now. It is suggested that this change was made on purpose to accomodate the thirsty up the line.

Monday the stockholders in the Dixie, Elk and Crowell furniture factories held their annual meet ings. "The boys," as one ot the stockholders called them, had a pleasant social time of it, enjoying a smoker and fruit refreshments. It was very noticeable that when the stockholders adjourned each one wore a very satisfied smile and all were in high feather. It was plain that the dividends pleased. The plants are in good shape and are prosperous, i The year was very good and the prospects for this year also look as good as usual. The election of ofheers was held. and Dr. E. J. Buchanan was re elected president of all three com panies. , Mr. D. F. Conrad was re-elected secretary and treasurer of the Elk. Mr. W. H. ' Walker of the Dixie and Mr. W. M. Koonts of the Crowell. These three factories have been prosperous from the start. They never have any trouble disposing of their output and are the leaders in the furniture business, of the town. More than 300 people find employment in the plants and the big sacks of money that go down from the banks on Saturdays are splendid proofs of the great good the town reaps from the industry.
