THE ADVANTAGE OF GOOD ROADS. Tomorrow the people nil over this broad land will assemble in their respective communities to of for up thanks to un Almighty and merciful God lor His goodness and forbeawtncs to us during the ^rist year. It should be the aim of every one on tfmt“day to get above iffid away from self ||d Ti§e jfo a helterj and broader view. Perhaps there will be some who will say that they have not anything to be thankful for; maybe death has tered the home and carried away it loVed on *in|wW all fifjjple and love wele cAterid, or - peftnfps sickness and disease has lain its heaVy hand on the home arid brought sadness and.sorrow .where before all was happiness and joy, but even if this has berin |he cnse ; if our hei-rts are right, we cun yet be thankful—thankful that a like calamity has not befallen others— thankful for the happiness and the prosperity of our neighbors— thankful for the great and unpara lelled progress and prosperity In an article in the.Iast issue of the News the value of good roads was commented on in a general Way. Their value in a commercial sense can hardly be appreciated until they have been tried, Dooly county can build good roads for a very small parL of the cost for which they have been built in oth er countie.f and not burden a man in the county. Bonds can be issued to run any length of time deemed desirable and as the credit of the county is good, they could be sold for a very good premium. With a good, hard roadbed, free ot ruts and mud holes, farmer can bring a third more on his wagon when he comes to town, besides the difference in the time it will take him to make the trip. A farmer had rather drive twenty' miles over a good road than fifteen over a bad one, and he can do it with a larger load, quicker and with much less trouble. Suppose there are two counties adjoining each other, find one has good roads and the other has not. The people living in the county without good ro;ids will^ take their products Wthe -market *to- which they cm* journey on -a good road, thou att- forcibly.

Th.tnk goodness. our common country. Indeed there are many things outside our own lives for which we should be thankful. We should be thankful to Creator for the abundant, crops with which be hat, blessed thi country; for the coming and going of the seasons that we may sow Ht.d reap the harvest; for health and strength with Which to go about our daily avocations, and for the ability to earn a livelihood for loved ones. We should thank Him for spar ing us the visitation of any great calamities such as have visited our less fortunate brethren in otlnr parts of the world and carried away thousands of lives. How fortunate should we count our selves that it was not we and our loved ones that \vere the vie- tints of the horrible outburst of the gieat volcano on the little land in which over forty thousand lives were lost in a few seconds. We should be thankful that we have not suffered the unspeakable agonies of a great famine, such n* has visited the poor, helpless peo- pie of India, who have died by the hundreds of thousands tor the want of bread and water. There are hundreds of things to be thankful for, and it seems that the people of this country have more cause to be thunkful than any of God’s people. They have been blessed by Him«in a most wonder ful way, and purely everyone can assemble tomorrow with a heart full of gratitude to the Great Cre ator. Would it not be funny if Grover Cleveland should be the next democratic nominee for president. Valuable deposits of copper ore have been struck in Wilkes coun- ty, twelve miles from Washington Come, Look and Buy. . , \ BARFIELD & HORNE. PINEHURST, GEORGIA. Herr Krupt, the famous gun- maker of Germany, is dead, having made kis money by manufacturing implements of death. The associated press dispatches oi Wednesday convey the impres sion that the miners will get most ly what they ask for in the settle ment of the great coal strike. Carrie Nation has broken lose again. This time it was ut tie horse show in New York city. She went ou the war path and tried to run ull the fashionable society of New York away from the show According to the News, the Bank o! Vienna made a net profit of 28 per cent on the investment the patt yean Another score>for South Georgia!—Campbell News The concensus ot opinion seems to be that the next democratic can didate for president will have to come from the East. Oh ves, of course. This is the same old tune that has been sung every since the Civil war. Col. Ed Butler,’the St. Louis boodler,has been sentenced to three years in the penitentairy for the briberv of city-officials. The light sentence imposed is explained by the fact that Butler is a millionaire. As the Americus Times-Recorder truly says, if he had been a poor man and had been convicted of stealing something to eat to keep from starving, he would have got ten twenrtHNfHi.Ajut as it wakAoj ,I “ to un . was only jujUy f -’doipg” the short not,cc - cify of St. Louis out of several hundred thousand dqllprs l?? d hence he got a light sentence. A table of statistics in the At- lanta Constitution shows that out of thirty-one killings in Atlanta from April, 1901, to the present time, only two that were guilty succeeded in escaping. This speaks well for the efficiency of the At lanta police force. President Roosevelt succeeded in killing one bear in the Mississippi swamps. He met 'up with plenty of coons, but owing to a fond feel ing he entertains for the creatures, he did not bag any. And then, again, it is against the law to kill them at this season of the year. William R. Hearst, through his three papers is booming himself for the presidency. While Mr. Hearst is a strong man, we think he is going it a little too fast. Al though it is a fact that he has done much good work for the democrat ic party, lie is young and has nev er held any public office. Mr. Hearst can well afford to wait for a few years, and not push himself prominence on too Dewitt's SSf Salve Far I =$25.00= IN COLD CASH GIVEN AWAY.
