That fine road over Cove moun tain by way of the Loudon pike should not be permitted to lie longer without repairs. Gullies started by wheels of vehicles are beginning to wash out badly in many places. Nothing short of constant attention is absolutely necessary on roads of that class. Piles of screenings and a man to make repairs ' should be kept on the mountain at all times. One shovelful of fine stones will often stop a wash that if left open for one rain will cost a month's wa ges to fill. Those little gullies start with every rain. Mr. Ralph M.

Famous Family of Pacificists to En large Its Sphere of Operations. Who has not chuckled over the unending complications in the household of the Pickleweights Enoch, the plaintive; Maria, ' the masterful; Ichabod, the Injun strategist; Dill the rotund and voracious, and Helen Battleax, gallant defender of her brother's innocence and helplessness? For years the tribulations of this interesting family have de lighted readers of the Philadel phia North American, and the characters created by Cartoonist Bradford have become familiar to thousands. In fact the Pick leweights have grown to be such an institution that more space and special treatment are requir ed to chronicle their explosive history. Next Sunday, July 11, there fore, they make their appearance in the Sunday North American, occupying a full page, in colors. Henceforth it is understood they are to be known to fame as "The Peaceful Pickleweights." Brad ford announces that they have moved to the country, in the hope that tranquil scenes, far removed from the turmoil of the city, will allay the hostilities that have di vided them. The first page in the series shows them installed in their new home. Unfortunate ly, the occasion is marred by some deplorable accidents; but it is the universal hope that the family has entered upon a career of peace. No Odd Fellows Reunion. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Fulton County Odd Fellows Association, it was decided that no County Reunion should be held this year. This is largely due to the fact that no one of the lodges seemed anxious to assume the responsibility of doing the work necessary to mak ing the Reunion such a success as it ought to be; and that one lodge had withdrawn from the County Organization. The Com m i 1 1 e wish, to be understood, however, that if any Lodge in the Associa tion is not satisfied with this ac tion, and is willing to take the initiative, and assune the re sponsibility for its management it is not too late to take such ac tion.

"I met an old minister and his wife at Bedford Springs this week. They told me with pride what splendid successes their five sons were making. They also told me of the hard struggle to educate and start them on the small salary. The old couple looked splendidly battle-worn as they told the story. I just chuck led and said, "Of course." The hardest fellow the devil has to drag down and keep down ia the preacher's son, and every other son whose father is living and working for God. Solomon was blessed for David's sake." That's a story with which William H. Ridgway hits the "bull's eye" in illustrating a point in the Sunday school lesson for July 25th.
