. Iu accordance with the. call is
sued by the Southern Cultivator,
. " the.Georgia road congress iQet in
tlie Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
ht„ten ((’clock mi Wednesday morn
ing of Inst week. More than half
. M the counties in the state were
. represented, and over 200 dele
gates answered roll call.
Hon. W. J. Nortben, of Han
cock, was made President, and one
Vice President chosen for each
congressional district, as follows:
- First—H. P. Smart, of Chatham
2nd—M. It. Mallette, of Thomas
3rd—J. C. Ellington, of Macon
4th—W.’-J. Weeks, of Talbot; 5th
—C. J. Zfcchery, of Henry; 6th
R. A. Nisbet, of Bibb; 7th—J. C.
Waddell, of Polk; 8th—J. G. Gib
son, of Oglethorpe; 9th J. W. Rob
ertson, of Ha bersham; 10th—-W.
H. Warren, of Bichmond. W. G.
Whidby, of DeKald, was chosen
Secretary.
The addresses by Gov. Gordon
Chairman Northen, Mayor Glenn,
and several other prominent citi
zens of Atlanta, were to the point
and well received. There was very
little superfluous talk, and the con
gress settled down to business in
short order. .
The organization being com
pleted, a committee was appointed
to prepare an order of busiuess
and the congress adjourned for .the
noon recess.
It is unnecessary for us to at
tempt a detailed report of the pro
ceedings of the congress, as it will
suffice to give a general outline,
with a few comments concerning
the worth of the cougrese to the
state, and the teiior of the thoughts
expressed by the delegates.
Directly after the meeting of
. the congress, a casual observer
could easily determine that the
delegates generally favored the
use of convicts on the public roads,
and.this desire flowed as an under
.current through all the speeches,
addresses and essays delivered be
fore this notable body of men.
. The first work of the afternoon
session on Wednesday was the re
port of the business committee,
- which was adopted. This report
involved a proposition to change
the present system of public roads;
inquired whether the convicts
Should be used; recommended the
appointment of a committee of
eleven to draft a public road bill
and submit it to the next session
of the Jjreorgia legislature. The
discussion went into specific plans,
all involving a positive change,
With the idea of a salaried road
superintendent for each county.
The use of convicts was ably advo
cated by many.of the speakers.
The committee on legislation
was announced.
Thursday morning the congress
reassembled m the hall of the
House of Representatives, and
then a bill drawn by the legisla
tive committee was submitted by'
Hon. M. V. Calvin, of Augusta.
| This bill was on the line indicated
by the previous discussion, but
the congress seemed not ready to
be committed to a specific meas
ure. Final action was postponed,
and essays from Prof. Sanford, of
Mercer University, and Prof Wil
lett, of Weslyan Female College
. were read. Following were sever
al excellent speeches, two of the
very best being. by Hon. W. A.
Huff, of Macon, and judge Eve,
of Augusta.

decided upon, must be issued after j Fort Valley, Ga., on Friday, the
consultation with the vice presi- 14th day of June next, at 10 o clock
in
dents.
As a matter of course, the con
gress could not accomplish any
thing direct, but the'ball has been
set in motion, and we dare say
much goo'd will result.
The congress has said decisively
that'better wagon roads are needed
in Georgia, and that in order to
secure them, better road laws are
necessary. The whole people are
interested in this work, and the
whole people will talk about it.
The committee to memorialize the
legislature are able, practical men,
and with the counsel they will re
ceive, they will so address the leg-
islature:that a good law will be
given .the state.
Among the resolutions adopted
was the following: “Besolved that
the thinks of’-Yhis congress are
pre-eminently due, and are
hereby returned to W. G. Whidby,
whq, conceived the idea of calling
the people together in congress,
who formulated the 'programme,

session with fidelity.

Littlle Fannie Clifford Watson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. T.
Watson, was born Nov. 17th 1887,
and died May 24th 1889.
She was not the only child, but
tbe youngest of five, and the pet
of the household. The whole
family loved her with no ordinary
devotion, and her death leaves a
sad blank in her parents’ hearts who
miss her to-day from the fireside,
and will whilejhey live, yet they
’ ave the hope to cheer them all
he way, that by and by they will
meet her in eternal day 'around
the throne of God. Our hearts go
out in sympathy for tbe bereaved
ones and more especially for little
Cliff’s mama; for we know dear
Emma from experience , bo v it
grieved you to see your darling
consigned to the cold, cold grave,
never to behold her pretty face
on earth again 5 but remember, roy
friend, that your loss is little
Clifford’^ gain. She is free from
all pain and sorrojvs of this life,
and is at rest witlf Him who re
deemed her. Let this sweet
■thought console you in your troub
les, and may the Giver of all good
take your desolate home under
His divine protection, and comfort
your sad hearts, and at last receive
you in heaven,
“Where the wicked cease from troub
ling
And th^> weary are at rest.”
