Gordon County Pioneer Dies.
Morgan Peeples, a pioneer cit
izen of Gordon county, died at

day, at the ripe old age of 77
years. Mr. Peeples had been a
citizen of Gordon county since
its organization and was the first
clerk of the superior court that
county ever had.
Good Work on the Federal Road.
Tlie authorities have been do¬
ing some line work on the Fed¬
eral road, north of Mill creek,
and a trip over it will readily
convince one of the advisability
of a liberal road tax. That $200
belonging td Spring Place would
go a long way toward bettering
the condition of our streets if the
council had enough vim about
tho spinal column to get it.
Dafton Council Votes Whiskey Back.
At a meeting of the board of
aldermen in Dalton, some t\vo
weeks ago, an ordinance was
adopted authorizing the mayor
to issue license to sell whiskey.
However, it is asserted that
opposition will enjoin the mayor
should he grant a license for this
purpose, also there is likely to
lie an election ordered on the
the liquor question. At any rate
it will he many a legalized long day before
gin mills will be in the
staid old town of Dalton.

HASSLER MILL NOTES
l could quote many passages
from j t!ie Bible and other good
an( g rea t, authorities of the past
which prove that “honesty is the
| )es ( policy, and the wages of sin
j s death, also, all is not gold that
glitters.” However, the gener
a 1 jty of mankind would pay no
|, ee( [ f, 0 opinions or advice, but
con tTnue on in the way of their
education and environments, he
rc .ditv and inclinations. Perhaps
there is some one in old Murray
CO unt.y who doesn’t have to read
pie Bible, or is too lazy or don’t
know that it is the foundation of
all that is good and ennobling,
of enlightenment, of civilization,
gft hie . ty Umt < ity .
eternal in the’ heavens. Just
think, if one little verse was
scrupulously lived up to judges, by every
one we should have no no
no lawyers, no sheriffs, no courts,
no criminals, no jails, no murder¬
ers! And there is another one
which says, “I will not destroy
the world again, for your imag¬
inations are evil from youth to
old age.” And that reminds me
that 1 took a peep in the grand
jury room and saw some fellows
who, if they had come up on old
Tige after, lie had caught that
deer, would have run him off and
slipped the deer home without
dividing with the nabors. “Sic
transit”, translated means, if you
see a man going up-hill, push;
down, give him a kick. But, as
Byron ’‘This world says, is not had would
as as some
have It; owing
But whether jjood or Lad is to how we
take it.”
