SMITH & SMITH Optometrists THE ROAD QUESTION AGAIN It was staiea in tnese columns last week that due to legal technicalities, there would be further delay in pav ing the Clinton-Kinard section of highway No. 2. This statement was^ based on an interview recently given out from the county treasurer’s of fice. Since last week, a report comes from the county seat that these vari ous legal complications have been clear^ up and the bonds are being advertised for sale on May 11, the is sue aggregating $230,000, bearing in terest at not exceeding 5 1-2 per cent, per annum. This is gratifying news indeed, and The Chronicle along with many others, is Hoping that the plan will go through without further hitch or delay. What this sectjon is particularly interested in, is the early hard-surfac ing of the CRnton-Kinard link.

The origins of the. names of most months are easy to trace. Not so May. It is generally agreed that it was named for Mala, the Roman goddess of spring, but there is also a theory that May Is the abbreviated form of Majores and that the month was so called because it was held sacred to older men as June was dedicated to juniores, or younger men. Originally, May was the third month, but it became fifth when the Romans placed January and February It is not what we think of ourselves, that brings real honor or fame.

When your braifl is seething with a white heat—grip the mental reins tightly. A bad temper can, with one sweep, destroy the work of a lifetime. It brings back what it gives out— fierce hatred, resentment, ingratitude, disloyalty. TTiere follow in its wake any number of physical ailments—bad circulation, fndigestion, skin disease. Its possibiities for evil are unlimited. So if you have a bad temper, learn to control it along with the other de structive passions that bring their share of pain and punishment. Be your own master. Dominate every phase of your life with intelligent control. And while others about you are losing their heads and making fools of themselves, you will be riding on the crest of the wave. People will admire you and be lieve in you and business success and personal happiness are bound to come sentenced to life imprisonment.
