The Home Merchant.
An exchange asks, ‘‘Who is the home
merchant?” and then answers thusly:
“He is the man who helps pay for the
streets you walk on, for the schooling of
your'children, or perhaps the one you
are educating. He helps keep up the
churches in which you worship. He is
the man who builds up a home which en
hances the value of property. Every
subscription that is passed around has
his name on it. He is a man who cannot
afford to swindle. Self-interest, if noth
ing else, would cause this. He bears his
share of the good government and stays
with it through sunshine and darkness,
in days of prosperity and adversity.
When you have shopping to do, remem-
ben the home merchant.”
How Are Your Nerves? If you are
easily “flustrated,” can’t sleep and feel
unrefreshed in the morning, your nerves
are weak. Hood’s Sarsaparilla makes
the nerves strong by making the blood
rich and puie.

Several articles have lately appeared
in the News eoncerning the new road sys
tem of Bradley county. One of these
articles stated that only a small amount
of work had been done, and that nearly
all the money had been expended.
Learning from various sources that!
this statement was probably wide of the
truth, The News asked for a statement
of what has been done from one of the
commissioners.
'The reply is flattering in the extreme
to Bradley county, and shows really that
the work accomplished has been little
short of wonderful. The statement fol

Cleveland, Tenn., Jan. 1, 1901.
To The Chattanooga News:
Your letter of yesterday to hand, in
which you ask me for a truthful state
ment concerning our public roads. I
read the article which yon refer to and
also enclosed. I do not care to reply to
the article in question, but will give you
the facts as they are.
During my second term in the state
senate, two years ago, I got a bill through
the legislature authorizing our county to
issue bonds to the amount of $100,000 to
build pubile roads. At the July term,
1899, of the Bradley county court Hon. J.
G. Carter, Samuel Kibler and myself weie
elected commissioners to expend the
money in building some roads. The
bonds were sold by County Chairman
Hon. Jas. T. Harle and brought $110,000.
The firm df Dunham & Brown were em
ployed as engineer?. They survey ed the
nine roods-we desired to build, and re
ported that they were of the opinion
that we could bnild ninety five miles of
road with the money on hand. We ad
vertised for bidders two months before
we received a single bid, owing to the
large amount of work demanded for the
small amount of money. Finally the
contract was let to G. C. Mick & Co., of
New -Jersey. Since that time we have
graded one road to Charleston twelve
miles long, a road to the Georgia line
thirteen miles, a road to Mahan Gap
nine miles, a road to Georgetown eleven
miles, a road to Raht Ferry, on the Hi-
wassee, seven miles, a road to Baker
Bridge five miles, a road to Polk county
line ten miles, a. road toward Spring
Place ten miles, and the Chattanooga
road seven miles, making in all eighty-
four miles of road gradad. Of this we
have finished and accepted the Charles
ton, Georgia and Baker Bridge roads.
The other roads are graveled and rocked
as follows:
Benton road, eight miles.
Spring Place road, six miles.
Chattanooga road, two miles.
Harrison road, six miles.
Georgetown road, eight miles.
Enreka road, three miles.
Making a total of finished roads of
sixty-three miles, and unfinished but
graded, twenty-one miles, all for $98,000
to date. We have yet on hand about
$8,000 to $10,000, and we believe we will
get the entire eighty-fourmilespracti-
cally finished with the money. Wehave

Our people are delighted, all over the
county, that they can now get to town
with double the loads they formerly
hauled, and without damage to stock,
vehicle or harness. There are portions
of the unfinished roads that are bad, and
will be until finished next spring. That
was, of course, to be expected, but there

4 Lare sixty-three miles, which any person
can drive over “in a trot” andnot muddy
his buggy.
Our engineers have done satisfactory
work, which is praised by all who see it,
and in this connection I desire to com
pliment Moore & Gillespie, sub contrac
tors on the Charleston road, and R. C.
Wolcott, sub contractor on the Georgia
road, for the splendid and satisfactory
work they did, and I will also say that
the work done by the general contrac
tors has been entirely satisfactory.
Judge Jas. T. Harle has been of great
assistance to the commission, and we
fully appreciate him.
Pardon me for saying that Bradley
county has fewer “kickers” and “growl
ers” than any county we know of. Our
people are enterprising and up-to-date.
Fogyism cannot live in-Bradley; that’s
why Bradley gained 15 per cent., and
Cleveland 40 per cent, in population
during the past ten years.
I was about to forget to state that out
of the amount of money named we have
not only built the sixty-three miles com
plete, and twenty-one more graded, but
we have placed twenty-two steel bridges
>ver as many streams. If any county
:an make as good or better showing for
the small amount of money, we would
like to hear from it.
