When the Wind Whistles.
Why does the winter wind whistle
as it blows around the corners? And
why does not the summer wind, blow
ing at the same rate of speed, also
whistle? One of the government's
weather sharps at Washington was
asked the question the other day. He
looked wise and scratched his head a
bit, as if digging for the answer.
“You 8eo, it’s this way,” he said:

A bond issue for the county to
build good roads and bridges would
be ideal, provided the money is spent
in accordance with the taxation paid
by each district. In other words, a
bond issue for the purpose named is
what we need, but one district in the
county does not want to pay one-half
of the taxes and have the district pay
ing one-tenth of them have the same
amount of money expended on the
roads traversing their section. We
want it spent according to the pro
rata of taxes paid, and that is the only
way we will advocate the issuance.—
Fort Valley Tribune.
Of course, each voter has a perfect
right to his opinion, and it would be
his duty to oppose any bond issue not
in accord with his ideas of right and
j ustice.
There may be other reasons than
that mentioned by the Tribune for
opposition to a bond issue.

Though! the following news article
from the Ocilla Star contains an im
plied if of large demensions, the road
through this section would receive
cordial welcome aud substantial en
couragement:
“There is a rumor that should the
plan to extend the Ocilla Southern
through Fitzgerald to Rochelle fail,the
road would probably decide to make its
extension by the way of Irwiuville to
Cordele, aud on by Vienna to Perry
and thus to Macon. This plan looks
very plausible, and would furnish as
good a route as the other, and one
which would meet with great encour
agement along the route.
“The officials of the road have just
finished the survey out of the city lim
its of Fitzgerald, and it now remains
with the people of Fitzgerald to say
whether the road will be extended on
to Rochelle or whether the road will
be forced to seek another route.”

wrote G. T. Riohardson, of Richard
son’s Mills, Ala., “ive fear’d it had
consumption. It had a had cough all
the time. We tried many remedies,
without avail, and doctor’s medicine
seemed as useless Finally we tried
Dr Kiog’s New Discovery, and are
pleased ro say that one bottle effected
a complete cure and our child is again
strong and healthy.” For coughs,colds,

remedy that’s made. Price 50c and

it that they are also liberal in giving
