MONROE-JACKSON
The marriage of Miss Ida Grace
Moore of Holland to .Mr. James Attis
Jackson of Trion, which was solemn
ized at the home of the bride Sunday
morning at. II a. m. will be read with
much interest by their many friends
in Chattooga. Mr. T. J. Worsham of
ficiated.
Tlie bride is one of Hollands’ fair
est and best young ladies. She has re
sided in this county for several years
where she numbers her friends by
the score. While .Mr. Jackson is a
young man of sterling worth and
holds a good position with Trion Mfg
Co. We feel that .Miss Grace has us
ed good judgement in selecting for
her life-long companion a young man
of Christian character and is from
one of Walker county’s best families.
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson left on the
early train Monday morning for the
home of Mr. Jackson’s parents in
Walker county, where a sumptuous
dinner was served. They ’•' turned to
Trion Wednesday and are at home to
friends at the boarding house. We
wish for them a long and happy life.

THE COST OF BAD ROADS
lite cost of bad roads to (lie
farmers of the United States In. per
haps, a difficult matter to estimate.
However, when it is considered for
the entire country niton the basis of
highway mileage and the results of
experiments relative to the cost of
hauling farm produce lite figures are
most surprising. The federal depart
ment of agriculture slates that, there
are 2,151,578 miles of public roads
in Hie United Slates. Os this mileage
statistics for the year 1904 show
that, about seven per cent, are im
proved. During th< crop year 1905
1906 85,478,000,000 pounds of farm
pioducts were hauled over common
roads from farm to market. As no
figures arc included for forest, or
mine products or for the general
commodities of life that go from city
to country, it is evident that the

slightest saving in cost of hauling
pci ton would assume striking pro
portions when considered for the en
tire c.'untry. Figures show that
• these great crops traveled in wagons
r over the eountsy roads 208,432,644
f miles, merely in being transported
f from the farm to the railroad ship
> ping point.
Investigations have established
. the fact that the average cost of
j hauling per ton per mile is about 25
j < cuts. The cost on stone roads, dry
, anu in good order, is about eight
cents; on stone roads in ordinary
condition, 12 cents; on earth roads
containing ruts and mud, 29 cents;
on sandy roads when wet, 33 cents;
on sandy roads when dry, 64 cents;
A reduction in the cost of hauling
from 25 cents to 12 cents would
mean an averge saving of over
$250,000,000. Texas Cotton Journal.
