shake of her pretty head.
it is interesting to know how
trip came to be made.
It seems that Sales-mauager
of the Willys-Overland Co., while
Kansas City recently, was
with H. G. Kirkland, the
representative at that place.
“All this talk about the awful
tions of cross-country riders,
perils and the tremendous
encountered is pure
said Mr. Barker, “written merely
advertise the few cars which
been driven from coast to coast.
—even a woman could drive a
car anywhere they went. I have
a mind to start some woman off
just to demonstrate it can be
“Well, I’m from Missouri,”
Mr. Kirkland, “and you’ll have
show me. If a woman can drive
car across the continent without
services of a mechanician or helper,
am still to be convinced.”
“If you feel that way about it,”
the reply, “I’ll just wager you
thousand dollars that a woman can
it and w'hat is more I’ll send one
summer from New York to San
cisco. If she needs the slightest
ance the money is yours.”
“Taken,” said Mr. Kirkland,
easy money for me.”
And now it remains to be seen
of the two gentlemen is right.
Miss Scott will follow the
tourist route via Albany to Buffalo,
then by way of Chicago to Omaha.
From there she will follow the
Valley to the Julesburg point
then overland through
Ogden Reno Sacramento, and
to San Francisco.
She will depend entirely upon
own resources for replacement
and supplies. The strongest
ment against her successful
plishment seems to be the fact she
a woman. The strongest
in favor of carrying the
through is her own ability, and
unbounded confidence in her
Overland.
“I’ll find a way or make one,”
Miss Scott and this is the sort of
termination that has carried many
contestant to victory.
Mr. J. O. Bradshaw, who
the Overland people in this city,
a map at his place on which the
where each days stops are made
w’here the young lady can be kept
with in her wonderful trip. He
vites his friends to come around
watch her progress.

Buggy and Skeleton Sit on Chapel.
EMORY COLLEGE, Oxford, Ga
,
May 23. The faculty and greater part
of Emory students were very much
surprised, on entering the campus
Saturday morning to observe the
buggy of a certain distinguished
fessor resting serenely upon the apex
the college chapel roof. And to
complete the picture the Skeleton.
Mr. Dooley, from science hall, was
sitting in the buggy, with unchanged ;
countenance, as if nothing unusual I
was happening.
The faculty is still wondering how
this marvelous feat was accomplished.
Book Printing.
The News office has been busy for
the past several weeks getting out a
number of hook jobs for different
parties throughout the state. The
last one printed was the journal of
proceedings of the Grand Council
Royal Arcanum which convened at
Columbus two or three weeks ago.
The News is gaining quite a reputat¬
ion for printing book and catalogs and
the work we are turning out seems to
be of the kind which induces these
desiring the best printing for the
price most printers charge for inferior
stock and work, bring their orders to
us. Another thing, we deliver the job
when you want it, and the work is al¬
ways of that classy, attractive kind
which pleases you. Come to see us.
To the Voters of Newton County.
I do not wish to bore the public by
appearing in public print so often but
I understand that the impression
seems to have gotten out that I
have championed the cause of the
City Court. neither appointed myself
I have nor
have I been appointed by the officers
of this Court to look after their inter¬
ests.
I have absolutely no interest in the
Court nor has my law firm. It is a
matter of indifference to me personal¬
ly whether the Court is abolished or
not and if it is the sentiment of the
people of this County that the City
Court is detremental to their interests,
then I would feel it my duty, if elected
Representative, to introduce a bill,
abolishing it.
With the present information, I
have, it seems to be the sentiment of
the people, especially the farmers,
that the City Court should go.
Above everything else, 1 want to do
what the people want done, else I
would not be offering myselt a candi¬
date to represent them.
My intaation now, if elected to
the Legislature, is to introduce a bill,
abolishing the City Court, with the
understanding that it should become
operative upon it being ratified by
a majority of the voters of this county.
I feel that the sentiment of the
people demands that such a bill be
introduced.
This is not in conflict with anything
I said at Mansfield Friday night, as 1
particularly stated that 1 wanted to
carry out the wishes of the people in
this matter, and this is what I believe
they want. apolo¬
