The position which the Pierpont Mor
gan organization holds with reference to
the business and political world ia dig
cussed by Mr. John Briaben Walker in
the April Cosmopolitan under the title,
"The World's Greatest Revolution."
Familiar with the business world and a
student of affairs, Mr. Walker has,
while approving of the general concen
tration which makes for good organiza

ful attention.

The Hood View road between Pleasant
Home and Sandy by way of Cottrell,
shows what a few enterprising citizens
can do by subscribing liberally toward
an improvement. The distance between
these twe points is six miles, and where

able road, four miles are covered with
the most substantial plank road in the
country. It was hard work to get aid
from the county board of commissioners
as extensive improvements were being
made on the Revenue road extending in
the same direction. At last Procter &
Bierce, sawmill proprietors, offered to
furnish plank fur the improvement for
$1.50 per M; then the county paid the
lumber bill and the people living along
the line of the road did the work.
