In a few cases they are children of the sovereign. oftener they are grandchildren or nephews In the ease of Sweden there is a great- grandson. The most pathetic of the childless courts is that of Holland. In Aus tria and Portugal the ultimate living heirs are youn*g men still unmar ried. The doubtful case is Turkey. The “Aimanach re Gotha” give no par ticulars as to the domestic status of Selim Effendi. the Sultan's eldest son. Hut he is 37. and it is highly probable that be is childless. As a rule, efforts are made to bring royal children up simply and modestly and to shield their nursery life from the gaze, but it is inevita ble that a great many details leak our.

P. Canning, E. C. come with me to thejMcEvoy, Orr Drug Co., Athens, Ga. Work on the country roads for the; present year has been pnuctically ; finished. Of course there will he; some \vo)k done as weather may | permit, but the active proseeuiion! of the work of road improvement j will necessarily be put off until the I opening of the spring. I Still this work will be pushed wherever it can be done profitably, even in the winter, for the county road force under the direction of Mr. William S. Holman, a member of the county commission ami super intendent of ftouri construction, is never idle. Mr. Holman has been very suc cessful in the work since taking charge of this part, of the county’s business. He has given the county some of its best roads and is pre paring to continue the work with even greater success and rapidity next year. Thus far the road from »lu* city limits to the Seaboard crossing on j the Jefferson road has been m:ic;*da-l mized: the Princeton mad has b •**n macadamized from the lop of Lump- 1 , kin hill to Princeton factory ih* j Mitchell’s bridge road has been ma cadamized from the State Normal! School some distance into the conn- ! try; Lumpkin street has been paved i with Belgian block from the lanyard | branch to the top of the hill and! some distance of road has *» *»u im proved from Princeton bridge to the old papear mill, and from the Sea board bridge on the Jefferson road to the county line. Mr. Holman is satisfied that by : the proper mixture of sand and •ounty it will do better than the macadam road. The county has purchased several small road working machines, some what similar to the machine owned by the city but smaller in size. With these machines the country roads can be worked much more efficiently and satisfactorily than in the past, and at less cost. The new system of collecting so much per capita for road tax and paying for the working of the roads instead of leaving it to the farmers and citizens of the rural districts themselves to work the roads will prove to he beneficial. 1 * is believed that with the re maining money on hand from the sale of the county road improvement bonds at least thirty miles of road way ran be constructed. It is quite certain that when the entire sum is expended, the county of Clarke will , have the best roads of any county i in this entire section of the state and ; as good as any county in Georgia. The commission has not yet de- 1 c'nbd which road will next be im prove.1. but it will in all probability i **itl»or be the Lexington road or the DanieJsvilJe road. It Is the Intention ! of the commission to first attend to j the main roads leading out from the :ity to the four adjoining counties. This has been done as regards Oco nee and Jackson counties and the uoads loading to Oglethorpe and Madison counties will probably be the ones next attended to.
