We find the public roads in good ■condition, with the exceptions of the road leading from Cordele to Coney near the dairy tarm, and the road from Eureka to eounty line near the Cone mill and the farm of J.

Tax Collector Scott has settled in full of the ’98 taxes. Tax Receiver Dunaway’s books are exceedingly neat and are got ten up in that artistic style that reflects great credit on him. We find the tax payers return their holdings at a uniform valuation of about 50 per cent, of their actual values, which, we believe, is the ■custom obtaining elsewhere it the ■State. w- «* - ■' • We note there is a decrease of taxable returns this year as com pared with ’98 of $89,000. This decrease is largely of farm values, while city property shows on increase of $73,000. Number of polls returned, 3698.

Splendid charts have been secured and additional patent desks will soon be bought for our schools, which, with the better class of school buildings that think, are being constructed, will, we soon place us on a school footing equal to any of the counties, out side the larger cities, in the state.

SEPTEMBER 29. 1899. FOR A NEW RAILROAD. A Magnificent Section and The Road is Bound to Be Built. People discredit newspaper ar ticles about now railroads, but it is an irresistible conclusion that one is bound to be built and Cor dele will reap the benefit of another railroad outlet. It takes no stretch of imagina tion nor extraordinary mind to comprehend the fact that a smal amount of addition^ capital judiciously expended means much for other capital already invest ed ; with a proper combine of roads, meaus a main line from Albany, through Cordele, Haw kinsville, Tennille to Augusta and Charleston. Only 35 miles of uew road to build. Recent visits of prominent rail road men to Cordele have made happy the hearts of Cordeleans over the prospects of the uew union passenger depot which is to be built, but a close observer sees in the movements of some of these big men, not only the new depot, blit the new railroad as well. Cordele would, no doubt, be glad of the opportunity to figure with them on railroad terminals which can be had at present with much less trouble and expense than a little later on. The railroad men know' that now is the proper time. The writer sees a deep under current looking in the direction of this new road. Let this be the first thing to be investigated by the Business League, and you will find in this article more tfuth than poetry. * * * A special from Fitzgerald says that Judge Sweat and Alex Bou - .nyaMn, -officials o5 the Air Line, have been in consulta tion with the citizens of Fitzgerald looking to an extension of the Waycross Air Line from Douglass to that point. The special says further: “The road will he built and probably an extension to Cordele.” A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard St., Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that Dr. King’s New Discov ery for Consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made life a bur den . All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure: “It soon re moved the pain in my chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remember doing before. I feel like sounding its praises throughout the universe.” So will every one who tries Dr. King’s New Discovery for any trouble of the Throat, Chest or Lungs. Price 50c. and $1.00.

The make-to measure man is at a disadvantage from the start. He has to pay about 50 per cent, more for his cloth, linings and trimmings, and nearly 100 per cent, more for his tailoring than the wholesale tailors. This is because where be buys one piece of goods, the wholesale tailors buy five hundred pieces; where he employs one tailor who labors in the old fash < ioned manner, the wholesale tailors employ thousands of skillful tailors, who have every mechanical aid, and work in scientifically ventilated tailor shops, producing the highest examples of fine tailoring, at the minimum of cost. These are some ot the reasons why it is possible for us to sell clothes which are made from thoroughly dependable fabrics, elegantly trimmed and perfectly tailored, and are sure to fit the minute you want them, at half make to-measure tailors’ prices.
