Savannah, Ga., Jan. 12, 1906.
When Roosevelt ousted the
negro office holders in Geor¬
gia, he placed another very
large plume in his hat. He is
learning the situation in the
south slowly, and is treating
the people like they should be
treated, something that no
other republican president
ever did.
Good roads is the question
to be discussed by the world,
by governors of Georgia if
they want MurrayVvote. Let
railroads, disfranchisements
go. Give us good roads!
The lower road is very good
but the mud is about three
feet deep on top of it, and
consequently it is hard to
reach.

Although the chicle couics from the

To it might bo accorded the place of

A “hmclj," etymrdogicaiiy. is Just a
j,n»p, j u the sixteenth century a
meant merely a slice
„r hunk of it. So Rums speaks of
i,r.cnd und cheese "dealt about in
lum-lica," and Scott records that “little
Btmjio was ramming a huge Imiehein
0 f j^ P cruat into hit; month.’’ While iu
modem times "lundt’’ is an aiihrevia
{{ tm from "hnniicon,” the latter was
originally an elongation of "lunch,’’ A
philologist shows how the old ••noon
>fienk,” noon drink, came to mean noon
eating, and to appear as "nunslieou,”
;ma the development thereafter of
"hauclieou” from "Umcti” was very
natural.
