Death of Mli»* Ai.al« I'ouey.
It is indeed with a pang ot sadness
that wc record thedcutisodf this lovc
ly young lady, which occurred at her
home near Eastman, on Saturday
morning last, after an illness of one
week of congestivo billions fever.
Miss Couey was a* young lady of
j j ble rare and personal beloved beauty by all ; was who kind, knew atuia- her.
She had just bloomed into sweet v.*c
manhood, and to die thus young,
when the sky of life is all beauty and
the world is all bliss, secin> hard in¬
deed. Strange decree! Death is the
only lesson life cannot but heed.
Turn, struggle, rebel, refuse as we
may, the silent fact remains, and be¬
fore it the world kneels. But there is
a blessed thought born in such hours;
those who knew and loved the depart¬
ed one here will meet and sec her
again some day—not through tearful
eyes, but in the matchless dawn of a
cloudless day.
The deceased leaves a mot he-,
father, brothers, sisters and a host ot
friends to mourn her untimely end.
She was interred in Pine llili ceme¬
ed tery on Saturday afternoon, surround¬
by a large number of mourners.

Wc have been requested repeatedly
within the past several weeks to call
the attention of our county road com¬
missioners to the deplorable condition
of the public roads in Dodge county.
Wc have done so more than once, but
complaints ot the same nature
tunic to reach us almost daily. That
our roads are in a miserable condition
all will admit, even the commissioners,
wc suppose, and just why they are
seems to be a matter of conjecture;—
We have our road commissioners in
each district, duly empowered to ap¬
point road overseers to look alter the
work m question, but said work, in
most eases, so wc arc informed, lias
been neglected, Have the commission¬
ers failed to perform the duties de¬
volving upon them, or have the over¬
seers, when appointed, failed to sum¬
mon hands and have the roads put in
somewhat passable condition? The
fault lies at somebody’s door, and our
people ask—yes, demand—that the
same be remedied.
Some may venture the argument that
tlio recent continued ruins have caused
this bad condition of our roads. This
argument is quite plausible to some
extent, but we have been hearing com¬
plaints of bad roads in the county for
several months. Others may contend
that Hie road laws are insufficient, but
we think that if the laws were strictly
enforced they would very well answer
the purpose for which they are in¬
tended. Others will say that in mak¬
ing the roads too little intelligence
and judgment is exhibited, and this
latter conclusion is doubtless correct,
in some instances. Rut be these sur
mises as they may, our roads are in a j
wretched condition, anu should lie
repaired at once.
Our attention ha9 been especially
called to a few of the public highways
or the county, which wo mention.
AVe are informed that the road from
Ashburn’s old turpentine still, run
ning cast, to Baldwin & Go's place, is
in a bad fix, if it has not been recent
ly repaired.
The road known as the “Old Midge i
M°ad, running from Kastman to
Haw kin- \ il!<\ is in an almost impa*s
: ** , ' e condition, ow ing to wash-outs .
au< ^ tll ^ on Gees. AYe learn that this j
thoroughfare u one of trroat |
utility, when kept in order, and it I
should receive the attention it de
serves.
The “Lightwood Knot” road, run¬ !
ning westward from near Eastman,
and intersecting Lumpkin's lane, is
also in a condition that should be
remedied.
The Pond Town road, below the
resilience of the late \Y r H. Harrell, I
is «n a fearful condition—almost . im¬ j
passable, and parties living in that i
section greatly inconvenienced i
are
thereby.
There arc other roads in the county
of equal importance to those above
mentioned, that arc in asinnlar com!!
lion, but we trust enough has been
said to induce (lie proper authorities
to rally to the discharge of their duties.
Good roads arc essential everywhere.
Bad roads arc injufious to the trade,
growth and prospciily of a town.—
| There is trot a man in all this broad
land that does not know the value
good roads, and yet tho road problem
is one that only a few counties have
solved, and they have succeeded ou!>
because they have attacked it reso
lutcly and intelligently. The eondi
tion of the roads throughout the State
is deplorable. This should not be the
case. If the farmers would carefully
compute the damages they annually
suffer on account of bad roads, they
would be surprised at tho amount of
it. They would find that tho wear and
tear upon their work animals, har
ness, wagons, the inconvenience they
arc put to, and the loss growing out
ot the impossibility of hauling full
loads amount to many times their
taxes,
And yef, while everybody wants
good roads and declares that he is
ready to bear his share of the expense
[of making them, it is extremely diffi¬
cult to enforce the road laws. A far
mer would apparently rather nay $10
for repairs to his wagons and harness
than to pay that sum to assist in put
ting the roads in his neighborhood in
i good condition, although lie knows
that if improved they would relieve
him of the expense of repairing his
wagons and harness.
Jl is noticculrlc that where there arc
good roadsthe farmers are more pros
porous and the farms are more valua-
1.1c than where the roads are neglect
ed. Good road horses and good car
ritiges are found where the roads arc
good, and thc people appear to bc
more contented. It is certain that
money invested inroads is well in
vested. It pays a big interest and
j everybody guts a share of it.

reading in your paper of the 3d inst.
that Mr. AF. L. Martin had the whole

ny church on Sunday last. Crops are
very good throughout that section;
they are also very tine along the road
On Sunday morning 1 heard a very
interesting Sunday school lecture de¬
livered by Rev. B. A. Jcsup. At 11
o’clock a. in., I listened to an ablo ser¬
mon by Rev. Mr. Steciev. The dis¬
course was quite practical. He also
told many interesting and amusing
stories, some of which seemed simple
and pointless at first, but when thor¬
oughly sounded and applied spiritu¬
ally, they wore full of sense and in¬
struction. lie told of a little girl wlm
went to school with a very dirty face
and hands. The teacher being a very
refined luuy, asked her why she did
not wash her face and hands. The
little gar! replied, “because my mother
docs noi wash her’s.’’ The good lady
Mien washed the little girl’s face and
hands, and when she returned home
1,cr mother asked her who washed her
facts and hands; she told her that the
teacher did it, and that she alsocomb
h'.\ir. The mother was so much
struck with the neat appearance of her
tittle girl that she concluded that she
,0 ° would wash her face and comb
her hair. The little girl then said to
her mother—“Oh how sweet you look
n °w.” The husband came home and
asked how came all that, and he went
and did likewise. Now, readers, you

Yes, again hath death crept to our
fireside for a precious and beautiful
darling. Now, the sad, sad words—
our little one is dead! AY r as called
home to Heaven where lie will gather
ij lc “gnus for His kingdom, IIis loved
and llis own.” Can you describe the
inexpressible anguish of those fond
and loving parents? Ah! no, no!—
Only those who have felt the same loss
can know how their hearts bleed. Our
darling was only sick a low hours.—
Human skill failed to relieve tho lit¬
tle sufici'cr, when the Lord said, “I
tho Lord have called thee.”
She is only transplanted from earth
to Heaven—asleep in Jesus.
“Blessed hope that in Jesus is given,
In our sorrow to cheer and sustain;
That soon in the mansions of Heaven
AVe shall meet with our loved ones again.
I was not permitted to kiss (be dar¬
ling in its sleep, but shall always re¬
member her as the most beautiful,
bright and sweet disposed babe. Ah,
those little chubby hands, sweet lips,
rosy clieeke and sparkling blue eyes,
are cold and silent ill the “city of the
dead.” I know ’twas hard for tho
young and tender mother (who never
had been so sorely nffiictcd) to give
up her angq} child; and say, “Thy will
be done”
Fond parents, remember the Lord
is nigh unto those that are of a bro¬
ken heart; and savclh such as be of a
contrite heart.—Ps. 34:18. Oh, what
a comfort you have yet—still another
jewel to raise for Heaven. Sweet iit
lle Roy. may you live to be a comfort
and blessing to your fond parents, and
when death conies may you be as pure
as your little sister in Heaven.

On our return from Jacksonville
one night last week two little children
took the train at Callahan, Fla. They
were by themselves, and stuck eioso
together. AY’licn wo arrived at Jcsup
they remained on the train which was
to come up the East Tennessee road,
and when the Conductor cafho fonnd
tho little boy paid the fare to somo
point we could not understand. The
more we watched the children tho
thoro we became interested in them.
The little boy was perhaps ten years
ohl, and the little girl about eight.—
The boy’s face was pale and worn with
care. His large, pale blue eves wero
turned toward the top of the car as bo
sat by bis little sister, who was sleep¬
ing on the seat, with her head resting
on his shoulder. She was evidently
younger than her brother, but much
better grown. Her hair was of a light
golden color, atnd hung in graceful
waves over her little shoulders and to
the seat.
At last we became so interested that
we approached them and asked where?
they little were going, who they, politely word, ctC;
The boy ansfvcred and
said (hat he was going to McRae, Ga.,'
to see hrs graud-fathcr, John F. Mc¬
Rae. He said his name wa9 Wynne, 1
and that his mother’s name was Lula
Mcliae. Turning his head slightly, tho
light shone in his face, and a full
grown tear was in his pale blue eye,
as lie continued : “My father has been
dead several years; my mother mar¬
ried again, and wo were living near
Cedar Keys, when just two weeks ago’
she died, and now I have no mother.”
His voice trembled and a shining
tear dropped from his eye as he raised
his hand to his face. A tear of sym¬
pathy fell from our own eyes as wo
sat and gazed upon the poor little or
phan*. No father, no toother, ho

love them and give them a good home, 1
