ROAD WORKING 1
|
Is Making Progress and
Showing Very Good
Results.
The convicts worked by Cobb county
have graded Atlanta road to Joyner’s
crossing, and have constructed a fine
grade, thirty feet wide. The hill be
yond Sibley’s crossing has been cut
down to a gentle slope and widened
very materially, which will be a great
improvement. Rock is being haunled
and piled up to one side, preparatory to
macadamizing the road. When com
pleted, it will be a fine road and add
greatly to the facility for travel.
~ Mr. P. H. Randall, the superintend
‘ent, seems to understand the principle
of making good roads.
i There are thirty-nine convicts, six
drivers, five guards and one commissary
keeper, making fifty-one persons who
are fed three times daily at the stock
ade. It costs, by actual footing up of
expenses, sixteen cents per day to feed
each of the fifty-one men. The food is
good, wholesome and well prepared—
according to the bill of fare as laid
down by the prison commission.
The stockade and sleeping room, as
we observed it, is clean and well kept—
iron beds and good bed clothing.
The summer suits of new clothing
were given to the conviets on Monday.
A fence twenty feet high is being
built, enclosing the stockade,
If all the convicts in the state are as
well clothed and cared for as those at
work on the Cobb county roads, then
the voice of humanity is being re
spected and obeyed, and there can be
no just cause for complaint.
Two obstreperous convicts have given
some trouble, but a good whipping
brought them around to terms, and
they agreed to give no further trouble,
and are not doing go.

MR PAT MELL
\
GETS A GOAT,
It Came by Express and
Eats Tin Cans and
Old Shoes.
Mr. Pat Mell, who lives on Polk street,
this city, wrote to Mr. Charley North
cutt, in Gilmer county, to see if he
could not find an ‘‘old grandfather’s
clock; if so, purchase and ship it to
him, a 8 his children had never seen a
clock of that make.”’ “
In a few days thereafter, Mr. North
cutt sent a letter to this effect: ‘‘Dear
Pat—Glad to hear from an old friend.
I send the goat by express.’”’
Mr. Mell was horrified. On the next
train he mailed a letter: ‘‘Dear Char
lie—Don’t send goat. I said clock.”
Then Mr. Mell wired the express agent:
“Don’t ship that goat to me—it’s a
mistake.”” Answer came back: ‘‘Too
late ; goat went by No. 1 last night.”
~ So Mr. Pat Mell has a goat at his
house, and he don’'t know what to do
with it. He wants to sell it to the Ma
gons or Odd Fellows. He saysit ig-o
good butter. Bah! Pat, L
KNIGHTS PYTHIAS HAD THE TOWN
The Knights of Pythias captured the
town Tuesday. They were here one
hundred strong, holding the twelfth
division convention. They were a fine
body of men, and many courtesies were
extended to them by our hospitable
citizens. The local lodge entertained
the body with every courtesy, commen
surate with their good fellowship.
In the afternoon the Gem City Cor
net Band discoursed sweet music in the
Park.
The delegates were given a delight
ful automobile ride over the city, which
‘they enjoyed very much.
The convention adjourned to meet in
} Griffin next October.

been our pleasure to note the steady growth and increase

Wholesale Jobbing Drug Business.
We have always carried a large stock of reserve supply
in our stock room on our second floor, and we are adding
