JOB PRINTING,
Job work of every description, such as
posters, dodgers, handbills, pamphlets,
catalogue*, cards, letter-heads,bill-heads,
wedding cards, circulars, etc, etc., done at
this office with neatness and dispatch at
LESS THAN ATLANTA COST. Try us!
The American Sardine C'o.’s Boneless Sar
dines, are much better, and less than half the
cost of imported Sardines.
We actually hate ourself that we
should have forgotten in our last paper, to
thank Mrs. A. A. Laramore lor the beautiful
boquet of rare flowers and jars of the most de
lightful jellies, presented to us more than &
week ago.
Elsewhere will be seen a card
from Mr, T. E. Smith, agcct for the sale of the
Home Glossing and Smoothing Iron. This is
certainly, one of the most ingenious contriv
ances we have ever seen, and is just the thing
for our housewives. As Mr. 8. remarked to us
about the work done by the implement, “ the
fabric looks as though it hr.d grown that way,”
the fluting is so perfectly and beautifully done.
The price is low, considering the value of the
iron. Call at the store of Stall & Adams and
see it.
Two commnications—one from G.
L. McDonald and the other from A. R. Hudg
ins—will le found in our paper to-day, about
the controversy in relation to the alleged dis
crepancies on the part of Capt. J. C. Maddox
in his official capacity with the city. They both
speak for themselves. As the subject is as
sutniug an interesting phase, doubtless our
readers will read these letters with considera
ble interest.
Library Association.— There is
now not the shadow of a doubt but that this
society is a success. The organization is per
fect, and of quite a large membership. The
meeting on Monday night, was exceedingly in
teresting, especially to those actively engaged,
and promised a season of much enjoyment to
as many of our citizens as will lend their pres
ence to the entertainment to be given by the
society, at some early day, of which due no
tice will be given.
We are heartily glad to be able to say that
this organizalion is a success beyond peradvent
ure, and if the members who are at present so
earnest, will but hold to their interest, we shall
ere the waning of many moons have a library
in Cartersvillc that would do honor to cities
of larger proportions. The Association meets
every Monday night.
The Anderson Brothers have re
moved from their old stand to that formerly
occupied by C. B. Conyers, where iu future,
they w ill keep a constant supply of fine cigars
and the most delieioua ale and beer on draft.
They have also three billiard tables for the
amusement of their customers. We learn that
these gentlemen have ceased the sale of spiritu
ous liquors entirely, and will, iu future, sell
nothing strougcr than lager beer and ale.
Thesa, as is well known, are the favorite sum
mer drinks, and where it is generally known
that they can be found at an establishment
kept by such clever and accommodating gen
tlemen as the Anderson Brothers, they will
will have a flue run of custom. We hope so.
And now come the Good Templars,
who propose to give Star Lodge a compliment
ary benefit about the 16th inst. They will
play “The Fruits of the Wine Cup,” “Deaf
in a Horn,” and the farce “ Good for Nothing
Nan.” Good music will be furnished, and ev
ery arrangement complete to make up a most
agreeable entertainment. It is hoped the peo
ple will turn out en masse to see the show.
From a letter received from Dr. R.
V. Mitchell, of Rome, Ga.., yesterday morning,
we learn that the Grand Gift Concert, for the
benefit of the Monumental Association, will,
undoubtedly, take place on the 12th instant.
The scheme has been considerably reduced,
and the sale of tickets will, for the present, be
confined to the city, unless, peradventurc,
there are some parties who really wish to try
their luck at the drawing, and do not live in
Rome ; no doubt they will be allowed to in
vest. The concert promises to be a grand af
fair, and we think it likely we shall attend.
See Assignee’s Stile in another col
umn. For a few days “ powerful good ” bar
gains may be had at the old stand of A. A.
Larramore. The stock, is really being sold at
cost.
Big Invention.—Lloyd, the fa
mous map man, who made all the maps for
General Grant and the Union Army, certifi
cates of which he pnblished, has just invent
ed away of getting a relief plate from steel so
as to print Lloyd’s Map of the American Con
tinent—showing from ocean to ocean—on one
entire sheet of bank note paper, 40x50 inches
large, on a lightning press, and colored, sized
and varnished so as to staud washing, and
mailing, for 30 cents, and plain for tourists for
25 cents, or mounted with rollers, ready for
the wall, and delivered, post-paid any where
in the World, on receipt of 50 cents. This
map shows the whole United States and Ter
ritories. in a group, from surveys to 1875, with
a million places on it, sneh as towns, cities,
villages, mountains, lakes, rivers, streams,
gold mines, railway stations, etc. This map
should be in every house. Send price to the
Lloyd Map Company, Philadelpqia, and yon
wijl get a copy by reWar mail.
The Dance and Supper.—lt wis
our pleasure, last Wednesday night, to attend
the entertainment at the Ricks House. Col.
W hite, the popular landlord, had issued time
ly invitations, so that an agreeable number of
ladies and gentlemen were gathered together
—just enough, and no more. The dancing be.
gun at abont half past nine o’clock and contin
ued until twelve, the supper hour, and
was resumed an hour later, to continue till
four o’clock in the morning—everybody tired
but pleased. Col. White had not overlooked
a siDglc item whisk could in any way contrib
ute to the comfort and pleasure of bis guests.
He had prepared one of the most delightful
suppers we have ever sat down to, with a fall
quorum of neat-looking, polite and attentive
servants, who understood even a nod or wink,
and flew to do your bidding with the celerity
of lightning. Shehanc’s (Atlanta) Band came
up on the “Goober” train, and discoursed
beautiful music for the evening. The negro
prompter who came with them, is one of the
best we hare ever seen, and “goes with the
music.” Altogether, we consider last Wednes
day night as one of the most delightful we
have ever spent—a bright page in our history
—and wc 6liali frequently revert to it with feel
ing of regret that it was but transitory.
Col. White is not only maintaining the lau
rels he had already won before he came to
Cartcrsville, but is dail)* adding to his wide
reputation as a hotel keeper. We hear compli
mentary mention ol ihc Ricks House every
where we go, and doubt not it bears already
as good a reputation as any house in Atlanta.
He and it are deserving of every word littered
in their praise.
An itinerant knife-grinder reach
ed our city, with his machinery in good work
ing order, on Tuesday morning. There is
nothing strang in that; but it did look funny
to observe six lawyers standing around and
urging him to begin his work. There were
Messrs. Conyers, Milner, Williams, Tumlin,
Stansell and Moon, all totally absorbed in con
templation of the swiftly revolving stones. We
believe Tom Milner furnished the first dilapi
dated knife for repairs, and that was what the
machine was working on when we passed the
crowd. Our devil suggests that these young
lawyers—the majority of whom are members
of the Library Association—were sharpening
up their wits lor the debate that is to take place
iu that society before long. Very likely.

National Surgical Institute.
—Elsewhere wc copy lrom ih c Chronicle &
Sentinel , quite a lengthy article descriptive of
this Institution. We are personally acquaint
ed with all the accomplished practitioners who
manage the Institute, aud whose names are
mentioned in the article, aud we are also pos
itively certain that the picture of the building,
its internal arrangement and management,
and the commendatory mention of those gen
tlemen are iu no wise overdrawn. The writer
speaks of the upright and honorable manner in
which these doctors act towards patients who,
in their opinion, are incurable. They will in
no instance take a case which they do not
think it in their power at least to greatly im
prove, if not cure. We were present when Dr.
Handy dismissed a lady, without prescription,
because he knew her condition was passed
remedy. We witnessed the performance of
the operation for cataract, upon the eye of the
old lady, as mentioned by the correspondent,
and was greatly struck with the nicety, delica
cy and skill of Dr. Handy who used the knife.
Now this correspondent tells us the old lady
has recovered her sight. We know more
good of the Institute than in telling about
would occupy a whole page of this paper.
Suffice it to say we heartily endorse every
word contained in the above-mentioned let
ter.
The farmers and wheat-growers
will do well to notice the card of F. M. Hight,
of Chattanooga, agent for the sale of Russell
& Co.’s threshing machines. These machines
are well known in this country ; several hun
dred having been sold from the Chattanooga
agency. It is always true economy to buy the
best machines obtainable at a reasonable price.
Therefore we recommend the Massillon ma
chines to our country patrons.

MR. A. R. HUDGINS.
Ha Makes a Statement in Regard to the
Reply of Mr. J. C. Maddox to Mr. G. L.
McDonald.
Messrs. Editors :—lt is with reluctance
and much misgiving that I ask the indulgence
of a small space in your columns. lam no
writer, and ordinarily have a great aversion to
the practice of scribbling in the newspapers-
I think the press has, of late, been used 100
frequently as a channel through which spleen
and personal prejudices are hurled forth to the
injury of men. In your last issue Mr. J.
C. Maddox, in his reply to Mr. G. L. MeDon.
aid, saw fit to use my name in connection
with his statements, and, as I conceive, wan
tonly and uselessly diagging my name into
his controversy. Inasmuch as he has done so,
and I was a member of the C ouneil at the
time these irregularities took place, justice to
myself and the people whom I represented as
a Councilman, requires that I should take 6ome
notice of what Mr. Maddox states. He, iu his
reply to Mr. McDonald, reminds me a good
deal of children at play, where one, when he
is guilty of a wrong attempts to excuse himself
by sayiug that someone else did a wrong. In
truth, in his whole communication, he demon
strates but two points, one of which is that he,
as Clerk and Treasurer of the Town Council for
1874, did discharge the duties that devolved on
him iu a very unbusinesss like, careless and
inefficient manner, and that there were many
irregularities iu its management, which must,
of necessity, be very unsatisfactory to the peo
pie. As to whether these irregularities grew
out of Mr. Maddox’s want of business tact or
want of proper diligeuce iu the discharge of
his duties, or from other causes, I shall leave it
for a generous public to say, after a submission
of all the facts.
The second point set forth in his statement
or reply is, he admits his wrongs aud attempts
to excuse himself by saying probably some
member or members of the Council did not do
their whole duty. As to whether Mr. Maddox
is guilty of the sin of omission or commission
in these irregularities of his office as Clerk and
Treasurer of the City Council for 1874, if mat
ters little to an offended people. If he has, by
not doing his business in a business like man
ner applied some of the people’s money, with
out being able to show them, by a properly
itemized account, how much taxes was col
lected, and from whom, and to what use it was
applied, it is all the same to the people of
Cartersville, and it is sufficient for them to
know that he is unable to show them, by an
itemized account, how much money he collect
ed from them, and how he applied it, whether
properly or improperly. He talks about some
of the taxes being paid to the Marshal, aud, in
consequence of that, he is unable to show who
did pay tax and who did not, and how much
certain individuals did pay. What an admis
sion for an officer who pretends to understand
and discharge his duties as a servant of jbe peo
ple! Who docs not know, if he had done his
duty, that his books ought to show from whom
he collected money and how much, to what
and how it was applied ? He, like our State
Treasurer, when the Joint Sub-Finance and Fi
nance Committee finds he has been derelict in
bis duties as a public servant, and, because of
great irregularities in his office, the people had,
aud might sustain great loss, resorts to the
redeeming “stubs of his book ” for exonera
tion aud extrication Irom the dismal lirch into
which he has cast himself. He further states
thatjtherc is still much of the tax of 1874 un
collected. Was he not charged with the am
ount of the tax to be collected, and credited
with what was collected, and with the fi. las.,
with a nulla bona entered on them by the
proper officer, and does he not stand charged
with any balance that may remain after these
deductions ? If ihere is any balance yet due
the town, as he states, why has it not been col
lected, and why is he not liable for that sum ?
In his statement he says there are some who
paid whose names are not in the published
list, aud some whose names appear in the pub
lished list as having paid who have not paid.
What auother culpable admission ol failure to
discharge the duties of his office! He again
says the list of the names of those who paid
street tax is not complete, and that there are
names on the list which should not be there,
and names which should be there are not on
the list. Now, why is this the case. Is it not
from his failure to "do his duty ? Was not that
part of his duty ? It he had made out a tax
digest for the town, as he should have done,
would not all this trouble and these flagrant
irregularities have been obviated ? I assert it
would, and every sensible person must so ad
mit.
In regard to what he says about the purchase
of lumber from me, I would state that 1 was a
member of the Finance Committee, but that it
was the duty of the Street Committee to pur
chase lumber and supply such other articles as
werenecessrfry to keep up the streets, and I
was not a member of that committee, and
when the Street Committee informed me that
they wanted to purchase some lumber, I in
formed them that I had some lumber for sale,
and if it would, on inspection, suit their pur
poses, I would sel! it to them. They looked
at and did purchase it. The lumber cost me,
part of it $9 per thousaud, aud part of it $lO
per thousand feet, and was prouounced by Mr.
W. D. Anderson, the street overseer, to be the
best lumber that the city bad bought. I was
paid for the lumber iu my licence, so far as
that went, aud paid for it five months in ad
vance instead of three, an arrangement which
the Mayor (Col. Montgomery) pronounced to
be beneficial to the town, at the time it was
made. When I sold this lumber to the Street
Committee, it was as any other citizen would
have doue, aud as I certainly had a right to do.
The sale of it was unconnected with my offi
cial duty as a Councilman, aud if it had not
been and I sold it at such figures and on such
terms as the committee thought were proper
and fair, and was as reasonable as they could
obtain from any other source, and it was the
interest of the town to make the purchase of
me, what harm or wrong could there have been
iu my selling it to them ?
In' conclusion, I would state that it is the
duty of the present Council to appoint from
its body a committee of good business men to
investigate the acts and doings of the last
Council, and sec what wrongs were committed
by that body, and if they find any, see what
member or members were at fault iu their
commission. This I hope they will do, as the
whole atmosphere seems to be foetid with the
impression that there is something not proper
and legitimate connected with the acts of some
of the officers of the last Council. Let them
probe the matter to the bottom, and see who
is at fault, and thus set at re6t a controversy
that is begetting feeling feelings in its progress.
A. R. HUDGINS.
MR. G. L. MCDONALD.
His Reply to Captain John C. Maddox.
Messrs. Editors In your last issue I notice
a communication from Mr. J. C. Maddox, pur
porting to be a reply to mine in your preceding
issue. lam exceedingly sorry that my duty as
ex-officer and servant of the people, entrusted
with the cares and management of their busi
ness and their money, and my duty to myself
forced me to make an expose of the acts of Mr.
Maddox as an officer of the Council for 1874. In
order that the public, which has been un
der the impression that there was something
connected with the acts and doings of the last
Council that was not legitimate and proper,
might know upon whom the wrong rested, and
bring the unfaithful servant to a just account
for his unfaithful stewardship, I have, much
against my will, involved myself in a contro
versy in your columns. I trust I will be par
doned for being thus, by my duty, forced into a
position Iso greatly deprecate. If the people
would lioll their public servants to a more
strict account for their acts as officers, there
would be fewer embezzlements and defalca
tions, Federal, State or Municipal. And lam
one who am not only inclined to hold them to
an account, but ant willing to be held strictly
accountable for what I did while in the service
of the people of Cartersvillo. And, now that
justice may be done, I shall proceed to show the
unenviable dilemma into which Mr. Maddox
has gotten himself In your issue of the Ist of
April, he states that the list of those who paid
street tax is not complete, and that there are
names on the published list which should not
be there, and names omitted, and in making the
list he found it very difficult to get the correct
names, as the stubs were thrown in with those
of the previous year, and some names were
kept on a strip of paper. At the conclusion of
his published report as Clerk and Treasurer of
Caitersville, for the year 1874, in which he pub
lishes the names of those who paid street tax,
he certifies that the report is correct, and now,
after having made that certificate, he says it is
not correct. Which are we to believe, or shall
we believfe either? Again, he states that the
stub oi Mr. J. A. Thompson’s tax receipt only
shows his name, and no amount attached to it.
I re-assert what I said before, that 1 am posi
tives was marked $3. and in that Mr. H udgins
will bear me out, and if nececessary, will make
an affidavit to that effect.
He says that the city voted at the last election
but 390, and that was the largest vote ever poll
ed, and that, in that number, there were sever
al illegal votes cast by parties living outside
of the incorporation, and that it did not vote
over 400 as I stated. In 1873, Col. Montgomery
received, for Mayor, 219 votes, and A. I*. Wol
iordl9o, making'4o9. He knows that $795 is all
he received on street tax, and his published list
only shows |6BO. He claims that the difference
was collected as fines, and admits that he did
not so state it in his consolidated reports when
they were presented to the committee for ex
amination. I thought we examined the consol
idated report very carefully, and it does seem
tome that we would have noticed it if that
amount had been reported as fines. As bciore
stated, I have thelfst, and it contains the names
of over 100 persons who should fiaye paid street
tax; aud a great many I know who should have
paid, and who did pay street tax, whose names
do not appear on the published report ol Mr.
Maddox, which list any one can see by calling
at my place of business.
In reply to my statement where I said he re
ported that he had paid the Marshals $1188.55,
when the amount due them was only $979 15,
niaking a difference of $189.40, he says I exam
ined the Ist, 2nd and 3d quarterly reports; in
the Ist, he says he paid s3is; the 2d, the
3d, $248.75; which I examined and certified wero
correct; the 4tli quarter examined bv the pres
ent council. I will here state that for the 2nd
quarter Mr. Maddox paid the Marshals $125
more money than was due them, and that for
the 3d quarter he should have paid the Mar
shall $194, whereas he paid them $248.75; an
oyer-payment of $53.75; for all of which he
blames me, because I examine! the reports
and certified to their correctness. I will
admit, if they were so reported when we
examined them, I am, with the balance of the
committee, to someextent, to blame; but, at the
time I did not suspect he was making false en
tries, but supposed he was discharging his duty
faithlully and honestly; and if I omitted to do
my duty and was remiss in looking into alljof his
reports, it was because I was presuming on bis
integrity as a business man, and not from any
culpable intention on my part.
Bln answer to what I said in reference to the ad
valorem tax, where I stated that there were
several names which did not appear in his re
port, he vainly attempts to find some shelter
for himself, behind what he considers sarcasm,
and says there are many thousand names that
do not appear on the list, but all that have
paid do appear au the list. All knowthat I had
reference alone to the tax payers of Carters
ville. Whew he says all who have paid are on
the list, to refresh his mind and refute what he
says, 1 think it sufficient to refor him to one
case, to-wit: that of .Jas. Hill.
Again, Mr. Maddox attempts to divert the
mind of the people from his unfaithfulness as
an oflieer of the town, and relieve himself from
the corruption in which he has entwined him
self. in a last struggle for sarcasm, bv saying
that the people of the town made a mistake in
not re-electing me. Now all know the issues
and influences that were brought to bear in the
last election, and that the merits of men had
nothing to do with it; if it had, I apprehend
Mr. Maddox would have been leit out of the
corps of Councilmen. But had I been elected
on a certain issue, I eertainly would have seen
that the principles ox that issue were carried
out.
He says: “The Marshals told him the town
wanted 1500 feet of lumber, and a car load was
ordered: that the town used 1500 feet. The
lumber cost $11.60 laid down, and that I sold
the balance to J. J. Howard tor $7.00. Mr. How
ard says he only got 1000 feet, and the Marshal
saps the town only used 1500 feet, and the bal
ance was a clear loss to the town.” He further
says he “does not know who authorized me to
sell that lumber; it was not done at any meet
ing ot the Council.” To this I can more easily
give an answer than he can to why all these
discrepancies have occurred in his books. The
lumber that he has reference to, was a car load
which was purchased by the Council which
preceded the Board ot which 1 was a member
to enclose the Cemetery. I understood from the
Marshal that the Council had refused part of
the car load: that he had used what was good,
and the rejected portion was turned over to the
party from whom it was purchased. After the
Council had used what they wanted of it, there
was lying on the Cherokee Railroad, where it
was thrown off, I suppose, some 800 or 1200 feet
ot it. I saw that it was greatly damaged and
liable to be stolen, and called the attention of
the Council to that fact. They ordered the Stret
Committee|to sell it for what they could get for
it. Whereupon 1 spoke to Col. Howard about
it, and he replied he would buy it. I then saw
Mr. Eaves and asked trim to go with Col How
ard and myself to look at the lumber, he replied
that he could not go, and requested me to go
and do the best 1 could with it. I went, and
sold the lumber to ( 01. Howard for $7. 331-3 per
thousand, and leit it with him to measure and
report the amount. If there was any more than
1000 feet ot it, Col. Howard, alone, is responsi
ble for it, and not myself. Mr. Maddox says he
paid Hudgins and myself S7OO for lumber: in
his published report he says $719 84. He never
paid me a dollar for lumber in 1874, andean
show no voucher to that effect. He paid
McDonald & Brandon, on the 17th of November
1873, $16.55, for lumber, and that is all that was
ever bought from us while I was a member of
the Council.
In his reply to my article, Mr. Maddox admits
of irregularities and delinquencies in the dis
charge of his duties, and ascribes part offthem
tohis ill health. Whydidhe notadmitthe whole
ol his wrongs,and remember that an honest con
fession is good for the soul? Mr. Maddox is
one ol those modern fosiliferous men, who can
not live without public pap. And vet, a chron
ic office seeker, holding on to the public like a
parasite to his only object ot life, with a des
tructive tenacity. What lie says and reports
the people must be satisfied with, without any
investigation. lam satisfied, that upon a close
investigation of the acts of the Council of 1874,
the burden will rest upon Mr. Maddox. But in
order that justice may be done all parties, I
hope the present Council will appoint a com
petent committee lrom their bodv to investi
gate the entire acts of the last Council,* and
thus render unto Caesar the things that are Cae
sar’s, and unto the town the SSOO to SI,OOO,
I am satisfied Mr. Maddox unjustly holds of its
money

Light! Light !!— Our wide-awake
fellow-citizen, Mr. I. C. Mansfield, has pro
cured the agency for North Georgia for the
sale and introduction ol' the celebrated Spriug
field Gas Machine. He has one of them with
sixteen lights, erected at the store of Gilbert
& Mansfield, and invites the public to come
and examine it. Now, that the Chattanooga
company has failed to so far interest our peo
ple as to induce them to subscribe to the erect,
iou of the public gas works here, it behooves
Mr. M. or anybody else who lias a good sub
stitute to offer them, to be up and doing.
This machine represented by Mr. Mansfield,
certainly makes as pretty light as any we have
ever seen, is as neat as coal gas to handle, can
be furnished at a cost of less than $2,00 per
thousand cubic feet, and is not in the least
dangerous. We have seen several private let
ters to Mr. M., from parties who are using the
gas, aud all of them recommend it in the high
est terms. We hope to sec it generally adopt
ed amongst our people. It is a good thing.
There was an interesting and
even enthusiastic meeting of the Hook aud
Ladder Company, on Tuesday night last. Sev
eral were there aud took active part iu the de
liberation of the Body, who are not iu the hab
it of turning out to drill, and this is in bad
taste. We want active members, which means
those who are just as ready to come forth to
the drill as they are to attend the night meet
ings. We are glad to state that the company
is iu a flourishing and prosperous condition.
The following most excellent rec
ipe is furnished us by an accomplished lady of
this city. We commend it to our house-keep
ers :
HOW TO MAKE A GOOD SERVANT.
Let tbe mistress of the house take two
pounds of the very best self-control, a pound
and a half of patience, a pound and a half of
justice, a pound of consideration, and a pound
of discipline. Let this be sweetened with char
ity, let it simmer well, and let it be taken in
daily or (iu extreme cases) in hourly doses,
and be kept always on haud. Then the do
mestic wheel will run quite smoothly.— Wo

LINKS TO APRIL.
BY ROSETTA.
Oh, welcome sweet April, thrice welcome this
year,
May all thy bright beauty enliven us here;
May every flower, more enchantingly bloom,
And thy loveliness say, winter’s fled to the
tomb.
May love’s burning passion be cooled by thy
showers,
And emblems of Cupid, be culled from thy
flowers!
Forget not the May Queen, dependent on thee
lor her wreath; and thy rose in her bosom
shall be.
now bright are thy mornings, when night
dews depait.
And thy evenings low murmurs, can soothe the
sad heart.
Thy soft sighing breezes, shall lull to repose,
while waiting their odors and cradling the
rose.
Thy birds sing so sweetly, they seem to deny
The existence of sorrow’beneath the blue sky,
Where shines the gay rainbow, as each cooling
shower.
Refreshes the rosebud, and droops the frail
flower.
The summer’s too sultry, the winter’s o’er
cold,
But thou wilt the medium between them un
fold.
These all are thy beauties, and bright may
they shine.
To charm the beholder, and prove thee di
vine!

Our Road Laws. •
They are good, excellent, adequate—and all
they need or mainly need is, enforcement—
strict, prudent, reasonable enforcement. For,
two-thirds of the time now allowed by law for
annual road working, if properly put in, in
grading, posting and sign-boarding, would not
only make every public road, “a way”—hut
even “an highway”—a Broadway, a splendid,
good way—in which “he that runs might read,”
and the “wayfaring man,” though a stranger,
“need not err therein.” No need then of con
stantly inquiring “how far to Milabri” or any
where else—as the friendly mile post, standing
like a lone sentinel by the road side, would
bear the intelligence on its face—and no use of
asking “where does this road lead to, or that or
the other?” for the pointed signboard at eve
ry cross read and fork, would tell, unasked*
Who, that has ever traveled any at all, has
not been greatly perplexed at the difficulty of
getting intelligent directions of the way—and
who has not concluded that there is scarcely a
woman to be found in all the land, that can
give directions at all. For, while she almost
invariably and most pleasantly says “take the
right hand sir, take the right”—she is, at the
same time, unconsciously waving her left hand
to the left. And as you can’t reconcile this
conflict between hand and tongue—too polite
to ask over again, and unwilling to manifest
such dullness as not to understand directions
so pleasantly and so cheerfully given—you just
pass on, with a “yes Madam, thank you Mad
am”—with ideas as clear as mud—to enquire
ot some boy or negro on the way, “where does
this road lead to?” and receive the answer “I
dun no,sir, itaintbeen no whar since we lived
here.”
Now if anybody supposes that Road Commis
sioners have a pleasant time of it, in the faith
ful discharge of their duties—just let him try it
one term, and then report at its close. With
threatening Grand Juries on one side, and
grumbling defaulters on the other, he will be
apt to find himself between two fires too hot
for comfort.
As some inducement is necessary to the put
ting forth of proper e xertion, and the full and
iaitlriul discharge of duty in anything and ev
erything—we verily believe that a premium
offered for the best road in each District—then
the best, in the connty—would do more to have
the road lawfully carried out, and all the roads
kept properly worked—than all the fines and
imprisonments that courts or commissioners
could Inflict And our suggestion would be
this: let a law be passed, authorizing and di
recting the commissioners of each District, to
offer a premium of SIO,OO for the best kept road
in the District—then the Ordinary or county
commissioners to offer $25,00 for the best in the
county, to be viewed and selected from the Dis
trict premium roads-and the money to be di
vided among the nondefaulting hands of the
road —and all road fines to be appropriated to
pay for such premiums or awards.
If such an arrangement did’nt oil the screak
ing wheels and cause the public roads of the
county to vie with the streets and broadways
of the cities—then we’d give it up. and agree
that “Jordan is a hprd road to travel.” At least
we would like to see it tried—and hope our no
ble Senator and public spirited Representa
tives will move the next Legislature in that
direction, and make our road laws complete,
and their execution a pleasure to country and
courts. For, a generous rivalry all over the
county, would revive the drooping, drudsring
road question—cause the public highways to
spring into newness of life and glee, smiling
with smoothness all along—be iraught with
good, for years to come, and for generations
yet unborn.

Dr. J. S. Pemberton, Atlanta , Ga : Dear Sir—
I have received your circulars, and in cor.se
quence of the distribution, I have sold about six
dozen Globe Flower Syrup in the last two
weeks. The Globe Flower Syrup is gaining
great celebrity. I recommended it in two ca
ses of consumption. One case was bed-fast;
had not laid on but one side for two years ;
hemorrhages almost every day ; much emacia
ted, and expected to die. He has taken six
bottles of Globe Flower Svrup ; his troubles are
all gone except prostration, which is rapidly
improving. He will certainlv get well. lean
send you many testimonials if you want them.
Y'ours Truly, etc.,
O. SACKETT.
REMARKABLE CURE.
