Considerably 11 *i odlc;i pped in tlic Work of I in pro v in at tlic Roads* Expects to l)'j as Ciiiod Work as Circumstances Will Permit. There are too many well informed people in the county, of course, for any very broad misstatement as to the more general matters of couofcv government to mislead a very large number of our people; but it has been stated by a correspondent o' your paper that "as Mr Murrell went into cilice under more favorable conditions than his predecessor, Mr W K Holt * * our peopl will naturally expect good wort from M v Murrell." 1 sincerely hope that good work's expected of me bv the people whether 1 went into cilice "under more favorable circumstances" or not and as good work as I can do under favorable or unfavorable circumstances I expect to do. Hut if "favorable circumstances" menus more money to work with your correspondent is wronjf. If I could think he meant by "favorable circumstances" more energy, more effective work and better manage ment, 1, of course, would feel largely complimented, but such compliments are rather to bespoken openly than interpreted into any pointless remarks. There was no increase in 11)09 for roads and bridges. About five thousand dollars was spent in 11)08 more than than the es* timateof the Hoard of that year. About five thousand dollars more was spont by the Supervisor during the first six months of 11)08 than 1 during the last six months of 1908. About five thousand dollars more i was spent by the Supervisor in 1908 than the actual cash income available for that year's work. So that I may very well come to the conclusion that I started the year 11)01) under a handicap of five thousand dollars which should not m have been left to me.

I was veey much surprised on lastj Saturday, December 11th, when M'lSS fjetlii* H iirriilcnn nr>nmmw. nied by her sister, Miss Elbe, and her brother, Marion, behind a pair] of large gray mules drove up lo my , home and hailed mo. We all met, with the usual Christmas smiles. I noticed on the seat by the side of j young Harrelsou a very larg?* nack-1 age neatly wrapped. Miss Harrelson asked her brother to bring the J package which she presented to rue j in honor of her school. Like all ot-] her men, I was more than auxious to see the contents, and upon examination [ found a large and most beautiful quilt which had oeen made : by the young ladies of Athens school --- eutitled "The Farmer's j Daughter" and in it was found the | following note: (>Compliments of the Local Association at Atiikns to Mr and Mrs W A. Prince. We have realized about $30 00 from this quilt." This quilt contains nine beautiful, squares of green, yellow and white! and has upward of four hundred] names of persons who worked in the | squares with different colors of silk thread. In the upper toft hand square appears the name of Miss Mary T. Nance, President State School Improvement Association, and also Miss Lettie llarrelson, President County School Improvement Association. In very conspicuous places appear the names of Messrs Jack Williamson, II tl in son andPiassier Harrelsou, Trustees Near the center and in very large letters appears the name W. A. Prince, County Superintendent of bid ucation. On the upper right hand corner attached to the quilt is a beautiful badge made of silk ribbon eight or ten inches long oy three or four inches wide and contains the following inscription: "Souvenir of Athens School, September 20h, 11)08 " This gives the date when it was made. I am informed that a fee of live cents wasoharged for each name inserted. The young ladies of other schools can see very readily how they mav raise $25 or $80 for their school and then have a quilt. To Miss llarrelson, the eflieion teacher, trustee?, parents and pu pils of the school at Athens, for tne kindness shown me and the high esteem in which you hold me, I ue sire to state that words will fail to express the gratitude of my heart, to you all. I assuro you that 1 appreciate this gift of yours more highly than the salary paid me for services while in cilice. May the seed planted in ihe ruinds of the children of llorry spring up and be as a green bay tree planted by the river side. W, A.. Prince.

Nothing definite can be stated al this time in regard to the sale of the plant of Kanawha Lumber Corporation. The bidder at the sale several months ago, refused to comply with the bid, and it seems that the U. S. Court has refused to com pel him to do so. The question row is as to how the propnrty will be disposed of. There seems to be several questions concerning the title to the timber lands aud it is said that the inventory that was ex hibited was not perfectly true as to the personal properly belonging to the Company. Mr W H Chatlbourn, one of the receivers, slated last week that he thinks that he can sell the property by piece meal, that is he can Hud purchasers for different nai ls of the equipment. There is nothing now being done in regard to the matter that we know of. THE MARKETS WILMINGTON SPIRITS TURPENTINE ? Market steady 88^6 cents. ROSIN?Market $2 00 per barrel of 280 pounds.
