The law enforcement bills
never passed. Anyway, the law
ought to be enforced without
them. There will be another
extra session of the legislature.
We understand that there
were some guns in the state
house at Nashville during the
extraordinary session, but so far
as we have heard, none of the
gentlemen therein were shot.
Some of them ohght to be shot
in the seat of the pants" with a
box of tacks.
' A county that has advanced
as far as Polk in educitioh and
modern plants for caring for her
resources, and is as rich in min
eral resources and farming land
should by no means do without
good roads. The bonds are for
sale, and with u little real effort
it seems very reasonabIe that
they could be sold.

Put on your golden crown.
You've been a friend toeveryone
And worked hard night and
day;
You've supported thousands and
Prom few received your pay
So we want you up in Glory,
For you have labored hard
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal just reward."
Then the angel and the merchant
Started up to Glory's gate,
But when passing close to Hades
The angel murmured "wait.
I've a place I want to show you:
It's the hottest place in Hell,
Where those who never paid you
In torment forever dwefl."
And behold the merchant saw

He desired to sit and watch Vo
As they sizzled, singed and

And his eyes would rest on

Whichever way he turned.

But the merchant only muttered
"This is heaven enough for
