THOSE PUBLIC ROADS.
We have never made it, h point
to criticise the work of die county
commissioners in'the matter of;
working the public roads of the
county, or any other official of the
county, as for that; but as a spec
ial request we give space to the 1
following letter from the lower!
part of the county, reads as
follow *!
Route 7-28-8.
Dear Editor: —Can you tell the'
people of this section through the;
Monitor w hat has. become of the i
road tax collector ? They are aIL
getting uneasy about him. He is
acting very queer by some means.
He is about BO days past due, and
they are afraid to spend their
money that they have saved to
pay road tax with. The iieople
are good tax payers down here.
You need not say anything almut
r*>ad working down here—we do
not care whether the roads are
worked or not. We have got used
to jumping gullies and ditches and
going through the woods. All we
want is to pay our road tax. The
children of Israel were forty years
in the wilderness. How long shall
we remain, gentlemen ? -
Very respect full v,
J. F. Mills.

SEVEN YEARS OF PLENTY.
One of the most favorable
signs toward a time of plenty is
in the shape of seven ears of corn
growing from the same stem. This
peculiar freak was handed in by
Mr. Monroe Fountain, and was
grown on his place near here.
I This bunch of corn is unusually
well developed and fruited, ami is
the largest we have seen of its
kind; and white it seems to lie
but a freak of nature, we cannot
but believe that it lias some bear
ingon theapproachinggood times.

The News ha* always contended
that, Tom Watson is the worst
foe, the most malignant enemy of j
the Democratic party in the state i
of Georgia. It has always believed
that for empty honors and liras*
sounds of Watson would sacrifice
the party that freed us from Fred
Douglas and a negro lieutenant
governor in South Carolina. Yet.
in this dav of sound sense we hear
talk of the state of Georgia giv
ing this fad it ical t rickster its elec
[tonal vote. —Brunswick News.
Tom’s gall is second only to Ins
craftiness. He has been toadied
to entirely too much by the pol
iticians of the state, hut is no
longer taken seriously by the
Democrats who realize that, In- is
for anything and anybody that
will give him prestige. —Fitzger-
