Barre, together with a few invited guest, went out to Barre's pond, the old home place of the Barre family, better known as the Taylor place, Friday afternoon and spent a few hoars in fishing, boating and innocent games.

The movement in Lexington' and Aiken counties, reported as an effort to secure a new county, is in fact a movement for a 9trip of Lexington county to be annexed to Aiken county. It was reported that petitions were circulated asking for an election on the question of establishing a new county with Wagener as the county seat, but it is now learned that these petitions seek to have a part of Lexington county joined to Aiken. A certified check for a sum to pay the cost of the proposed election has been filed with the clerkfot court and developments are awaited. , m t / v Notes From Gaston.

The Associated Press Dispatch, June j - * I lurti says: .Aipena, luwuigau. ^iguu thousand business and professional men and farmers in northeastern Michigan yesterday constructed more than 250 miles of roadway between Bay City and Mackinaw City. Where there had been at sunrise mile after mile of Corduroy road, sand holes and swamps, nightfall found an almost unbroken stretch of graveled highway. The new read forms a part of the State highway from Detroit to Mackinaw City. Four thousand teams and 750 automobiles participated in the roadmaking and 2,500 women assisted by feeding the wcrke rs. Improving Nicely. Mrs. J. L. Mimnaugh, one of Colombia's most amiable and noble women, who has been very sick in the hospital for some time past we are glad to say is now enjoying her home comforts and receiving the tender care of her companion and her devoted family. We trust she may soon be out mingling with her friends again. _ 4 To Succeed, j Don't depend upon "pull" but work out your own salvation. ' In any business, big or little, these days, it is the thinking man who counts. Handle your job as though the business were your own. Make every minute count for it means success to you and your employer, and above all smile. ^??..._ REMIT OF THE 60IDITI0N OF THE NATIONAL BANK OF LEESVILLE.
