We do not claim that it was always so, but the white light of truth never shone
so brightly as it does rt present. Every week since the spring opened demonstrates
more positively and forcibly than the proceeding one that our enforced limitation of
space would not effect the volume of business done.
At the beginning of the season we had some fears on this point. Results have
not only dispelled these fears, but warrant us in hoping and expecting that this
spring and summer’s busness will be by far the largest we ever transacted.
To state in detail what we have in Silks, Black and Colored Dress Goods, Wash
Dress Fabrics, Laces, Embroideries, White Goods, Household Linens, Hosiery,
Gloves, Handkerchiefs, Parasols, Ladies’Shirt Waists, Belts, Lawn and Silk Ties,
Ribbons, Ladies’ Muslin underwear, Mattings, Carpets, Rugs and Curtains would on¬
ly weary I lie readers; but we may say in general terms that we have the best select¬
ed stock of Dry Goods, Notions, Novelties, and Ilousefurnishings in Georgia.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS.
How Their Benefits Come and Who is
Benefitted Most By Them.
The roads of a country are its com¬
mercial arteries and the importance of
keeping these arteries in good condi¬
tion cannot lie two strongly emphasiz¬
ed. In the south we have not given
the subject of good roads the attention
it deserves, and the cotiseqence is that
our material development has been
somewhat hindered on this account.
Hut the future is still before us, and it
lies within our power to atone in some
measure for our past shortcomings by
giving the subject of good future. roads If more
careful attention m the we
expect to secure for this section the in¬
dustrial prestige to which its marvel¬
ous wealtli entiles it we cannot make a
better start in this direction than by
putting our roads in good condition.
Of course the farmer will bo the first
to experience the benefit of this im¬
provement, but its sphere of influence
will not be restricted to -the farmer.
Indirectly it will make itself apparent
tu the changed status of our people
generally, and every interest of this
section will derive fresh energy and
life from its invigorating b ^ touch. Sev¬
era , (lfty8 nR<) Pro fe88or . C . Latta, of
Purdue university, Lafayette, lud.,
di9cu » sed d'e subject otgood roads at
some length it) a public distinguished address. So
thoroughly did this ed
ueator enter into the merits of the sub
J ice! that some review of tho salient
jnl9 of Lis iuldreg8 may not be amiss
in this connection. Without going too
miU: h into detail, theso points which
acciu to thoroughly condense the argu
meat may be briefly summarized as fol¬
lows: First, good roads economize
time and force in the labor of trans¬
porting products from the farm to the
market; second, they enable the farmer
to tuko advantage of market (luctua
li ous in buying aud selling; third, they
permit transportation of farm products
iuu j purchased commodities during
times of comparative leisure; fourth,
'hoy reduce the wear and tear on
J »“rf"™’.
l8 t rt te.
Each of theso reasons separately
considered is sufficient in itself to war
™ n t °ur people in putting forth their
utmost, exertions to improve the condi
p uu 0 f mir roadl and keep them in
a good condition. There is no telling
w i“‘t our farmers have lost, ami indi
f 06 ! 1 ?’ what our cenerallv have
lost, on account of bad roads; and
without allowing ourselves longer to
remain indifferent to the claims of this
important subject, it behooves us from
this time forward to make our roads
the objects of our special solicitude.
When we begin to do this, prosperity,
such as we have never before known
tu Dixie, will begin to reign through
out her holders.
One reason why the South has uot
cket! more interest iu the subject
good roads until the present time is
dm in part to the destitution iu which
the late war left her, and in part to the
lack of sufficient agitation For more
than tweutj years the South was com

One of Kitzhugh Lee’s Adventures.
It was to the Second United States
cavalry that Lieut. Fitzbugh Lee went,
after his graduating leave in 1850, says
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. His
.
active service commenced at once.
The Indians were much excited at the
crossing by emigrants of their laud and
bunting grounds. With his usual en¬
ergy, Lieut. Lee distinguished himself
in every tight with the Coramanches in
which he took part. He had some
close calls. While on a scout cnee he
dismounted to better 1'oHow the trail of
an Indian who had taken to the brush.
As Lee passed along the bottom of the
rayiue the Indian, who coucealed him¬
self above the young lieutenant, leaped
upon Lee’s back, and for the momeut
had him down. The Commauchechief
attempted to draw his knife, but Lee
seized his right arm and prevented its
use. Holding the warrior in this way,
it was equally impossible for Lieut.
Lee to draw his pistol. The ludiau, a
famous war chief, was larger and heav¬
ier than the young officer, who was
getting the worst of the tussle. Ilia
gymnastic training saved bis life.
Suddenly releasing the right-hand
hold, Lee struck the chief twice, quick
as lightening, in the face, knocking
him down. Before the wornor could
recover from this new form of attack,
Lee had settled conclusions for good
and all by two shots from his Colt’s re¬
volver.
In another Indian light a warrior
dashing up close to him, shot Lae with
an arrow. It would have killed him
had not the point turned on a lib. As
it was, it penetrated several inches,
and Lee had to ride about and com¬
mand his men with the feathered end
of the arrow sticking out of his breast.
It began to be painful, and lying dowu
on his side, Lee called a friend and
said, “Jack, pull this devilish thing
out.” The friend gave a tug. The
arrow did not move. “Put your foot
against my side and try again.” The
other did so. The pain must have been
horrible, for Lee’s face turned white.
Finally, out came the shaft of the mis¬
sile, leaving the steel head four or live
inches deep in the young StBlitenaut’s
breast. It was a set ere wound, for
the heavy steel head could not be
reached by the surgeon. Hut the hurt
healed over and the steel happened did to
be new and clean, and, therefore, For

Mr. Joseph M. Hrown, of Marietta,
closes a letter to the Atlanta Constitu¬
tion deprecating a war with Spain with
this significant paragraph: “Senator
Mason, of Illinois, can afford to yell
very loudly for war, as it means $10
per barrel for Chicago flour; $20 a ton
for Chicago hay; 15 cents per pound
for Chicago bacon, and $12 to $15 per
ton for Chicago pig iron; but the Geor¬
gia cotton planter has not much inter¬
est in bringing about war.”
