It is true that there is just complaint
against some of the roads of Decatur county.

the road irom town to the eight mile post on

ABE. E. SMITH

Public Roads.
JEdi'or Democrat:—I beg ot yon a sufficient
space iu The Democrat for a few thoughts in
regard to the roads of Decatur county ; and
most especially the one leading from Bain-
bridge to Quincy, as far as the eight mile
post. I do not know the name of the present
road commissioner, but let him be who be
may, I have this to say : That unless there
is more regard to working of public roads,
Decatnr will ever be noted as having the
poorest roads of any county in southwest
Georgia.
Why can’t we have good roads ? Does the
fault lie with the commissioners? If so,
whose business is it to see that they discharge
their duty? I am of tfie opinion that the
Grand Jurors ought to pay more careful at
tention to the matter. The road known as
Quincy road has not been properly worked in
the past fou. teen years. The rule observed
by our worthy Josiah Boman, colored, over
seer from four mile creek to eight mile post,
is just to work the road enough to keep vehi
cles from turning over; no ditches made or
old ones cleaned out of any consequence;
holes dug and left, ridges left, and one to
travel the road would feel as though he was
crouing through a cotton field across the beds.
Our public roads are a disgrace to our county.
Will not the Grand Jury pay more attention
to the matter? * Black Jack.

Thursday last, the 10th inst., agreeable to
programme, the earth entered the August
meteoric zone. At night the skv was beanti- j
fully clear and starlight, and a brilliant dis
play of meteors was seen from the city, shoot- :
ing from the region ol Perseus along the Gal
axy, and south of the Zenith ; visible to the I
watchers from ten p. m. until three a. m, of i
Friday. Friday night the display continued,
but interrupted to the eye by a hazy atmos
phere at times. Scientific authority tells us
that these shooting bodies range in weignt
from a grain to a ton. In the British museum
is one ’hat weighs fifteen hundred pounds.
Chemical analysis shows it to consist princi
pally of iron and its snlphuret.

sway, sending the merenry to 89 in the shade.
The game commenced at 4 o’clock p. m., Maj.

standing 21 to the Magnolias and 13 to the

Ixetter from the West Side.
Rock Pond, Ga., Aug. 14, 1882.
Mr. Editor :—I write you this from here as
I haVe seen nothing from the western portion
of onr county.
Crops are good, generally, especially all
crops except cotton, and that is an average
crop. Corn, oats and sugar cane are better
than for the past ten years. New buildings
and improved lands are seen on every side.
The health of this section is unusually good,
very little sickness in the community. Sore
eyes are somewhat prevalent. We find it
best to treat them as yon would chill and fe
ver—give quinine in doses of two grains every
two hours until twelve grains have been taken;
using calomel and lard or butter as a salve at
same time.
This side of the creek has been outraged
the past week by sheep-killiDg dogs. Twenty-
three head of skeep were killed in one night,
that were found. The owners are Judge C.
W. Ash, J. J. Clark, Mrs. E. O’Neal the Messrs.
Easom, ani ntbers. Besides this a great
many sheep were badly wonniiid., and no
doubt many of them will die. I am told that
the law makes the owner of the dogs respon
sible for all damages done by them. In this
case it will be a hardship on Mr. Stephen
Williams whose dogs killed so many sheep, B3
be is a poor man. But the owners of dogs or
other vicious animals should be made to pay
for all depredations committed by them.
Political matters are rather dull over here.
I presume Mr. Stephens will receive the
main democratic vote of this section. Sena
tor from this district is little spoken of. The
people seem to be silent on the senator,
though they generally think Miller county is
entitled to it; some think the rotation system
is a means of weakening the n^iu legislative
departmeu of the state, and many think it
ought to be amended or at least modified, ac
cording to population. *
There is much talk about the members of
tho legislature here. Many admire the names
suggested by you in the last issue of your
paper, and would be delighted to houoi; them.
The name of yourself, Mr. Editor, as a candi
date for the legislature is gratifying indeed,
as also Maj. J. O. Farnell, both of whom all
our people know so well; and there is Capt.
G. A. Wight, thaD whom there is none nobler
or more unselfish than he. His actions as
president of the Decatur County Fair Associ
ation is worthy of all praise, though tlieie are
only a few who know what lie lias done in
this respect. Messrs. Martin and Connell,
the model fanners, are both such men as our
people would be pleased to honor, should the
nomination be given to either of them.

It is a fact that no one will deny that the
roads of onr county need attention, and need
it badly. To the end that concert of action
may be had I hope every road commissioner
in the county will meet at the coart bonse in
Bainbridge cu Monday the 4th of September
to consult and make a stiong pull alltogether.
At the last term of our court, bills of indict
ment were obtaiued against three commis
sioners, and unless the roads receive atten
tion in the interem the same will befall still
more at the November term.

Read! Reflect! Consider and
Act.
Abont two months ago I commenced to
close out my entire stock of summer goods at
cost. I succeeded iu selling almost tlic en
tire lot, and entering the market early this
fall with the money, I have succeeded in
baying a stock of goods at astonishing low
prices. I am prepared to sell as cheap as
ain one, and I defy my competitors to sell as
cheap as I in- Being the first to introdnee
low prices in this sectran vid taking a stand
against the old fogy 50 per cent system, Y
shall certainly fight it out on that line to the
bitter end.
We are battling against high prices and are
exerting every energy in us for honest money,
reputation, and for the good of the people.
I shall endeavor to treat each and all fairly—
for if I should cheat you to-day it certainly
would injure me to-morrow. If mine were a
transient concern, a policy of “all turkey for
myself and all buzzard for my customers”
might do. But I hope that I am a fixture
among you, and I do feo®an interest in the
prosperity and wellfare of the people, and es
pecially the poor people.
Not by favors but by merit alone, do we ex
pect to maintain onr uusivaled reputation.
Big prices will not do in these times- Re
member we deal only in good goods, and not
trash. Onr entire stock is fresh and seasona
ble. We know that the people will patronize
that man who gives the best goods for the
least money. This we are determined to do.
Being the first to lead in low prices, we
shall certainly maintain our position at the
front as the cheapest house in town. We relv
upon the support of a discriminating public
to sustain us in this war against high prices,
imd while we cannot sell for cost yet we are
willing to sell for the smallest profit possible
to our own welfare and we can assure our
friends we will not overestimate onr necessi
ties. Our motto is to Live and let Live.
Come one come all, we will be pleased to see

Valuable Suggestion to Mothers.
Dear Mr. Editor:—Long experience in enre
of children, and great success in bringing

dence to assure that croup, whooping-cough,
broncitis, diptheria, and all throat aud cuest
affections will be speedily relieved and cured
by using Dr. Acker’s English Remedy, which
is exceedingly palatfble, and may be salelv
given to the youngest infant. Adults will
