The friends of Deacon Hlarris, edi
tor' of The Clinton Chroniele. are sor
ry to learn that lie has been sick for
several weeks andi has not been able
to peroiforin Ili duties as generalIssino
of Clinton's leading newspaper. The
Deacon worted so hard during the Inl
fluenza epidemlie that he forgot to be
troubled withI that disease, but after
it was all over he develoled a few
symptoms of it and got sick anyway.
In his absence the paper has been pih
lished by his loyal force and they have
done well at it. The editor himself is
soJoulrning amtuong thle plutocra ts at
Glenn Springs this week, where lie

and that the county bear the expense
of same as made and provided for oth
er eounty officials. We recommend
that our representatives have a law
passed to this effect.
We have visited the county home,
Jail and county chain gangs and are
glad to state that they are all kept in
as good sanitary condition as poss
ble tinder existing conditions.
We are glad to note that the roads
of our county are being scraped and
worked as speedily as possible to be
(lone with the present available fore
es. In this connection we would
'recommend that 'the commissioners
appointed and who have in charge the
exi)Cnditure of the funds arising from
the sale of bonds, give due and care
fil emsideration as to the needs of
tle cross countt y roads.
As to the public schools of the
county we report that they have made
pro- ress along educational lines, and
wi le interrulted in their work dur
Ing the last scholastic year, on ac
eonunt of sickness which was prevalent
amongst both the teachers ani pupils.
yet we are of the opinion that good
co-oPerative work was done; that our
system. so far as we are infornietd. is
aL prioi'essive one. With tle compil
sory vdiuentional law now in force and
effect we feel that great strides along
rog ressive edueattional linies will be
made in the ntiali futuile and a new era
will dawn upon us in this work. It is
implossible for its to stress too much

NO MORE UNSIGHTLY 'r'APEs,
bandages, patches, etc., for injured
tires. Just have us vulcanize the damn

vulcanizing does tuore than mend

they are good as new once without
