Mr. W. H. Harris, son of Mrs.
T. Y. Harris of Knoxville, died
ia Macon last Sunday night. De¬
ceased was raised in this county
and was about thirty-four years
old. About six years ago he
went to Macon and accepted a
position in the clothing house of
J. H. Herts, where he remained
to the time of his death. Mr.
Harris was a young man of
ing business qualities and was
popular both here and in Macon.
His remains were brought to the
Knoxville church where the fu
nexal was preached by Rev. Me
Michael. Being a personal friend
to the departed, his remarks
were especially touching and ap¬
propriate.
Remains were interred in the
Knoxville cemetery
The town ordinances as they
m»w exist, and all town laws that
are hereafier passed should be
published in this paper. They do
not have the authority of a la .v

sist hereafter that it is done. The
acts of the council and the laws
of the town should be made pub¬
lic in these columns.
Committee to set date and
place for holding the Annual
Sunday School Convention of
this county, met. in Knoxville^
Tuesday. It decided to hold the
convention, on Wednesday, the
ROBERTA, GA„ SATURDAY, JUNE, 10,1S93.
second of August, in Knoxville.
For the sake of harmony, it was
thought best not to have the sing¬
ing contest and that feature Is
to be abolished.
While on our round-abouts
this week, a gentleman told us
he intended to open a store in
Roberta sometime in the fall.
We extend a welcome*to all en¬
terprising, straight-fQrward busi
ness men to come in and help
build up the county.
Musella is to erect a handsome
school building. Mr. john Harri¬
son will donate the property on
which it to Rebuilt. The spot
selected is a pretty hill with
gently sloping side and a short
distance from rail road. It is a
beautiful cite for the erection of
a school. Mr. Harrison is to be
commended for his liberally.
Thete was not a man to be found
in Roberta, who would donate a
lot on which to erect our school
building. There are ample means
here with which to finish this
school. But lack of appreciation
for a moral agency in the com¬
munity is one serious trouble, and
another, moss back fogyisrn, and
a third, down right stinginess.
When it comes to the last ele
meat we have it in a remarkable
and marvellous degree. Worse
than the but-headed cow, which,
having grown a tale, is too lazy to
grow iiorns.
A force of hands have been at
work improving the streets of
Roberta this week. Our streets
should be kept iu a more neat
a .id orderly condition. We think
it would advisable to devise some
plan by which the work done on
the streets would have a more
lasting effect. As it is, what is
done at one working is all undone
by time for working again. This
is due-to the natural disadvantage
oi'thfe slope of earth on which our
town is built. A few heavy rains
washes away to a great extent,
the improvements made on the
walks and streets. We might
keep on doing such work as is
now done on. the streets and
walks for the next two hundred
years and at the expiration of
that time the walks would be just
about as they are now. We are
not blaming any one for this It
is the fact as we see it, and think
it would be well for the council
to appropriate a portion of the
towns money in connection with
the special tax for that purpose
until proper drainage and sewer¬
age can be had so as to prevent
the wafer from washing gullies in
the-street.
Mrs. Clark is making prepara
tions for a grand musical exhibi¬
tion. Everybody knows what

prise of this sort apd those that
love music will await her enter¬
tainment with happy anticipa¬
tions.

A Hint to Laundresses.
The excellent laundresses of
Holland use refined borax instead
handful soda in the powder proportion about of a large
of to ten
gallons of boiling water. Borax,
being a neutral salt, doe9 not in
the slightest degree injure the
linen, and those who try it will be
pleased butch with the result. The
washerwomen have been
famous for centuries, and when
muslin and lace ruffs became fash¬
ionable Queen Elizabeth laundresses sent for in¬
some of these to
struct the English how to wash
and dress these dainty articles of
the toilet.
