THEJOURNAL KUwENK ORAN HKIiK Y, Editor . . iMMMY. FEBRUARY U, 1876 North k South Kailumd. li, is nucleus to longer hope tliat the bill before the Legislature, ns presented by H<*n. T. W. Grime**, of Muscogea, will meet with sny favor. A few weeks ago we wore cotifl lent that the bill would pass the 1 loose snd Senate, and the outlook for an early resumption of work on the road wn* e.moo raging, but now the Legislature seem* to be against it, and even if it were to pass, the iop position is that it would not bo ap proved the Governor, It is now left to the people in the eouuties through which the road passes, to say whether or not the road shall fall i ito the hands of the Central line, or he bought by themselves, and the . rk be pushed f , ward to comple. leu C >lnmtiu* s in speaking of pttehas*- -M 'l* ‘s.tys: “We and n■ Kiev ii plan than iho one sugfpwied on previous occasions, and that is for the counties ol Miw ro g n e, II a in* snd Meriwether (or of Troupe if an extension fo La Grunge can shortly be effected) to arrange for its purchase." Wo think the above i* tho best mggeslion tlist can ho ramie. Har ri county is in a good financial con dition, snd not being emliarrassed by any iudalitedne**, her bonds could he easily negotiated. The comple tion ‘of the North and South road is it lit a an important item with tl.e pic* ol Harris county, and wo hope that a move will be mad*' at once to taLe steps in that direction. Let tho county issue forty or fitly thousand dollars in bonds, and become a stock bolder. Romo of our moat consider ate and ii)6nontinl citir.cn* believe it to be a safe and wine investment, and one that will in a short time boa nonreo of revenue to the county. The road is now more than paying ex penses, with but twenty uiilcs in run ning condition; build it to LaGrange or even Cbiplcy, and there is no •doubt but that it will pay hand somely. We sincerely hope that our leading cittvens will fake the matter ’ll) hand, and call a meeting in order to lay a proposition of bond* or no •bond* before the people. Gkoroia ItrciSl.aVukie.—-If tho Legislature had done anything wo -would most assuredly havo told our readers about if; but they havo only passed a few local bills, that would not bo at all interesting. A bill ha* been before that great body lor the reduction of salaries, but they forgot to *tart with their own per diem and railage, and have hauled off on that for awhile. Another bill i* before the house for the consolidation of the offices of Receiver and Collector for Harris county. Now we do believe in retrenchment as orach as anyone, but wo can’t see where tho justice comes iu, in thi* casc. We have nev er born a tax collector, nor do wo be- Nave that our worthy representative* Lave,or they would not have present ed such a bill.

Walks Among Our AiHrrljv rs. BfCOKD J'aJ-KK. Saturday morning we roe with the snn. This early rising wy be a good thing; it is a good tiling if you wi**h to catch an car’y t rain, but in a hygienic point of view, however pretty the theory, there are doubt* existing a* to the practice even to this day. It is our opinion that it is lii-olihir-r ui let tlm sun gel up first; and after tho earth Ins been hung out to dry for an hour or two, then it is perfoctly safe for vs to get up. Good, sound, healthy sleep is a great thing—nothing el>e like it ; and it is an admitted fact ihat tho only hours we spend in this life that are free from sin, are spent in childhood or— asleep. But it is well, sometimes, to be awake—awake to truth and duly; and if duty demands early rising, then, by all means, get up early. Saturday, we wire up early, and after enjoying a frugal breakfast w alked down to the otlice where we found nil hands too busy to talk to; and fearing Jwe would get into mischief by remaining—or, w hat was worse, would have to go to work— forthwith made up our mind to leave m>; i run over the way te pay a prom iscd visit to our friend, N. 11. B/VBMiV. We found him and hi* accommo dating, energetic clerk, Burt C., both at the store. Burt was very Imsy, a* he usually ia ; o w e aat down and had a pleasant chat with the agreea ble ‘Squire He ia 'doing a flourish ing business, and in order that lie may continue to do an, advertise* in the Journal. He has a flue stock of grooecieson hand which are priced just, as low doWh a* fjiey can be aold in this market, or indeoil in almost .any other, and we can asijaro you of fair dealing wlicn you trade at Bar den's. W has also op fiarifi, for medic al purpose*, an of old bottled whiskey, and pure Holland gin which are very cheap for the qual ity—we have tried it, ctr medicine, and know it is worth recommending. Leaving ’Squire Bafdcti’a wo drop ped in on our friend • J. W. SroicET. Wo found him pleasant and warm hearted, tfa usual. He is a thorough going, active business man, and al ways ready to give yon a good trade. 11 is slock in at ore is no. .enlarge,but lie can supply all your wants on reas onublu terms. At present ho is deal ing chit fly in guano, and wo rcconi ntend til in need of thin useful fertil izer to give him 'theh* orders, as lie deals only iu tho very best article*— his advertisement may he seen in an other column of tho Journal, On our way back to the office, we saw a small boy miAjng heavy ef forts to coox a stubborn mule by a certain, old stopping-place, but be “didn’t coax worth a cent ;” Ir fact, foe sometime it was doubtful which would win, tho mule or the boy; though, "finally, the mule gave in and away they went, but it was not accomplished by coaxing —a crowd of bystanders drove the stub born animal along. Coaxing doesn’t win, nmeh, -iu this world. A short time ago wo saw this fact illustrated with the following result: A <certaiii mother had made up her mind that her little ’boy needed some vermifuge, hut she knew she "Jt approach him gently. She j i tin* bottle where ho could see ! ati-i when ho turned up his nose, she s.tiil; “It's just, hike preserve- Hvfvp, my darling. TIo seemed to doubt hor word, and she continued, “If you’ll take noino, I'll let you go to the putty to-night. “Dow much?" lie caution.-ly inquired. “Oh, only a spoonful, just one spoonful,'’’ she replied as she uncorked the bottle. “And you’ll giv e tue sonic sugar be side* P ho asked. “Of course I will—a I ; :r lump.” lie waited Until -he began pouring from the bottle, and then asked, “And you’ll give me Veu cents, too?” “ Vos, of course.’’ “And y oti'll buy me a great, big Va’eutino he wont on, seeing his advantage. “ 1 guess so.” “No Valentine, no wormtspugo," he said, as he drew Imok, “Well, I'll buy you the Valentino,' 1 she replied, fill ing the sjoon. “Atid a fiddle?’’ “I’ll think of it. “You can’t think no worm truck down me,” ho exclaimed, looking around for his hat. “ Here I’ll buy it, or I'll tease your father to, and 1 know he will. Come, now, swallow it down.’’ “And you’ll buy me a goat?” “Yes.” “And two hundred marbles?” “ Yes ; now take it right down.” “And a pointer dog?” “ 1 can’t promise that.’’ “All right; no dog, no wormisciuge?’* “ Well, I’ll ask your la her.’’ “Ami you’ll buy me a pony ? “ Oh, I cbulrln't do that. Nov be a good hoy end swallow it down.” 1 Ves, I’il swallow that stiff. I ' • - V.S ... .. .I p B hi “you ms> wt vut;" ' a hi tie, old party end u lump of brown sugar, hut i.M t ike a bun Ired dollar pony to trot that **<rt of pre serve juice down my throat!’’ Ami In went out to act: if the pcighhir’a cal had been caught in the deadfall he had set for her. Coaxing don’t win. Next week we expect to vjsil some rtf our lawyer friends whoso cards may be found in the Journal. L. Fact* in Jhti Cm so. Fanners all through this section of country made a failure in their crops last year. The continued dry weather parched up everything in the way of vegetation, and it was llio exception and not the rule, where a man made the expenses of running his farm. This has been very dis couraging, and particularly so to the negroes. It haa been out of the question for them to inffke money, and they do not seem to realize the situation. We admit that it is hard to work a'l the year without being re munerated, but it fulls on whitfe and black alike. Let them all take cour age and sot out with a renowcil de termination to win, and the probabil ity is that next fall their burns will be filled with plenty. The'meeting of the negroes in Hamilton last Friday, w hile it was held out as an emigra tion meeting, was nothing more nor less than a stri kc for higher wage*. They believe that the white men are able to pay them higher wage*, and do not at all take into consideration the *hortnes of last year’* crop. They may be backed in this thing by some white man who wishes to make a little capital out of it, as they sel dom do anything without it. If let aloue they will all go to work, and as two crop failures seldom come to gether, we may confidently look for ward to better tinip* next fall. Leap Year. A young lady has very kindly fur nished us with tho law relative to leap year. It i* an extract from an old volume published in the year 1000, entitled “Courtship, Love and Matrimoni,” which lays down the law as imperatively as anything in Blackstone. Wo quote from it as follows: “Albeit it is nowe a parte of the Common La we, in regard to the so cial rotations of life, that as often as every bessextilo year doth return, tho ladycs have the solo privilego during the time it continuetb, of making love unto the men, which they may doe either by wordes or lookes, as unto them it seeineth proper; and, moreover, no man will he entitled to the benefit of clergy who dotlie refuse to accept tiro off', rs of a lady or who dothe iu anywise treat her ptoposal with slight or con tain el ve.” As this law has never been repealed ' wo call the attention of our ladies to ! it, especially if they wish to eijoy pe culiar privileges granted them dar ing leap year, and also by way of cau tion to confirmed bachelors, that they may boon their guard, and not ex pose themselves to the chance of being seized upon and summarily disposed of for life. Asa gentle hint we merely remind the young ladies that the editor, foreman and typo in the Journal office are all now iu a state of single unblessedness. Our Wagon Hoads. —The hill in reference to the lload Law has been lost. It seems as though the Legis lature is determined not to carry out the wishes of the people, as there is hardly a man in the state but what is in favor of good roads. W e cannot im agine u reason that would prompt any member to oppose it. The most as tonishing part of it is that many of the members are, more or less, con nected with farming, and litis being tire •ease, they certainly know the dis advantage of hauling crops to market, and their corn, bacon, Icriilmem, etc., over bad roads. A motion to recon • rider the bill prevailed, and we hope the Legislature will have the bill be come a law before they adjourn. ———— ——■—— ■ ■ Thk Dog Dim.. —A bill to lay a tax on all the dogs of this State lias been lost in the Senate by a vote of '2l to 15.

The State 1 (<range and the State Agricultural Society, have each memorialised the j Legislature in favor of such a law.
