The Lamar County Commiss-
ioners Court rendered its decis-
ion last week on the petition of

ciding to let them stand as they
are.

We had some road working last

If all the overseers worked like
Edgar, we sure would have bet-

The jury in the Charlie Dod-
son murder case reported last
Friday after being out about
three hours, returning a verdict
of guilty as charged, and assess
inga life term in the penitentiary.
It is understood the jury was
equally divided from the first
ballot on hanging and life impris-
onment, those favoring capital
punishment finally giving over
to prevent a mistrial.
The negro was tried and con-
victed of the murder of J. B.
Eubank, who was shot from am-
bush while returning home one
night last December. There
was much interest throughout
the trial and large crowds have
been in attendance. There were
many who were disappointed in
the verdict, who had hoped for
the capital punishment to be as-
sessed.—Advocate.

In announcing fdr re-election
for Tax Assessor of Lamar Coun-
ty, I do so without claiming any
great record or achievmenta; I
only hope to be classed with the
many good men who have been
your tax assessors in the past.
I took a solemn oath that I would
do my duty to the best of my a
bility, and I can show a special
letter on tile in my office from
the comptroller complimenting
me on neatness and accuracy of
the 1913 tax rolls. I realize in
the fullest sense of the word that
the office belongs to the people,
and it is for you to say whether
or not I have made good and am
worthy of re election. Myself
and office deputy, Mr. J. F. Mc-
Murry, have at ail times worked
with the county’s interest at
heart. Any one having busi-
ness with the assessor's office al-
ways gets faithful, prompt and
courteous service, and we guar
an tee you the same service in the
future that you have had in the
past.
I want to thank you for the
vote given me in the last primary
fully realizing that every thing
I possess comes from a generous
God.and a liberal people, and as
* the duties of the office will keep I
in | me busy, 1 won’t get to make

That there has never been a
town that grew to any size or iq
creased in population and real
estate values without inoorpora
tion.
That there will be no more
dragging or grading of streets,
except the grading done Ly the
county on the main street lead-
ing through the town, and the
Main street just outside of the
corporate line, near the cemetery
is a fair sample of what we would
receive. Our streets were graded
last spring and the city council
has hired them dragged after
each rain, which has kept them
smooth, graded and the drags
have kept them free of weeds.
That there will not be any
more filling in of streets as was
done on Main street.
That there will not be any
more steel culverts placed to
carry off water.
That there will not be any 1
more council to go to for funds
with which to build concrete and
Oak crossings.
That there will not be any
more weeds cut along the streets
nor on private property unless
the individual so desires to do.
That there will not be a n y
more restriction of fire arms
Deport and the boys may ‘‘shoot
up the town” and make the night
hideous anj’ time they get ready,
endangering the lives of the citi
zens and destroying property.
That there will be no tire limits
and the price of tire insurance
will advance.
That the annulling of the cor-
poration will cause the receiver
appointed for the town to sell
the chemical engine, which is
nearly half paid for, to pay other
obligations, and should the busi-
ness part town burn down, as it
surely would now without alleys
and something with which to
tight the tire, the price of resid
ence property would drop more
than 50 per cent.
These are not a lot of scary
returned, of which number 74
were for felonies and 47 for mis-
demeanors. During the sittings
694 witnesses were examined
and all matters coming to its
attention were given thorough
and fair investigation.
As the grand jury was dispers-
ing after making its report one
or two members acting as spokes-
men informed the reporter of
News that all of the members
desired through the paper to ex-
press their warmest apprecia-
tion of Hon. J. . C. Mason, the
foreman of the body, for his
faithful and efficient service.—
