had built two new
bridges on yellow river this year
P*Ve note with pleasure that the
bridge at the paper mills is

across ditches and ravines
way, that they be replaced with
said pipe as vve are convinced
that it will be a great saving to
the county.
ROAIJS.
We have diligently inquired
into the condition of the public
roads and find the following
roads in bad condition. The
road from the corporate limits
of the city of Conyers to the Ir¬
win bridge also the road lead,
ing from the corporate limits of
said city, to the Newton county
line known as the Covington
road.Also the road intersecting
said Covington road and lead¬
ing to Salem
via Richardson’s crossing. The
old Flat Sholes road its entire
length o'f the county. Also the
road leading from city limits
to paper mills bridge, from the
city limits to Princeton via the
Christian place known as the
pine log bridge road . Also road
from W. F. McDaniel’s via
Rockdale church known as the
Macon road. Also the road lead¬
ing from W. F. McDaniels via
Mack Parker place to Smyrna.
Also the road leading from
Mooney’s crossing via Union
Grove church to county limits.
Also the road leading from
Hamilton’s crossing to J. A
Treadwell’s. Also the road lead
ing from city limits via H. W.
Hanuock’s and J- C. Farmer’s to
Jno- A. Tread well’s. Also the air
line road in Honey Creek dist.
Also the road commencing at
Richardson store in Loraiue
district and running via Dr.
Albert’s place to Shady (drove
Academy.
We find that finger hoards and
mile posts have not been put
up in many portions of the
county, although the same
have been paid for by the coun¬
ty and are now lying in a ware¬
house iu Conyers.
We find also that the roads are
not opened the width required by
law. This is true of almost all
the roads in the county, and the
Commissioners have allowed crops
planted in the roads. In some
cases, indeed, in many places this
has been permitted or allowed un¬
til'it would be difficult for two
loaded vehicles to pass each other
without serious inconvenience.
We recommend that the road
Commissioners be required to
have the roads mentioned in these
presentments put in proper con
dition in the next forty days, also
that they be required to have all
finger boards and mile posts pul
in the next forty days, also that
they have all the >oad.-> m tlm
county opened tlie width required
by law in the »«t forty •

UVe recommend that in the e
vent said Commissioners fail to
open up roads to proper and legal
width, and put in proper condi¬
tion the roads mentioned in these
present merits, that they lie fined
for failure to do so.
In putting in mile posts, we
reco inmend that the Commission
ers have distances carefully meas
ured.
We recommend that the Ordi
nary furnish road overseers wifli
blasting powder, fuse and drills,
when requested to d< o so by road
Commissioners, for blasting rock
and removing other obstructions

w> Knaner Was Cured Of
Chronic Catarrh—His (hire
Remains Permanent.
C. \Y T . Kuaner, Sheldon, Io¬
wa, writes as follows: “I had
beeu troubled with catarrh for
over two years; so bad at
thafc I could not work Hut two
or three days in a week, I
tried two doctors without any
relief. At times 1 was so bad
that I could not hear. After
using nine bottles of Pe-ru-na I
was completely cured and be¬
lieve Pe-ru na will do .all you
claim if the directions are fol¬
lowed. 1 heartily recommend
it to all who are afflicted with
catarrh. I should call my cure
lasting, for 1 have been working
in an elevator for three? years
(amoijjc the dirt and dust of
wheat*.)’
No greater test could be made
of any cure, than three years’
exposure to the dust and dirt of
a graifi elevator. This letter i
a sample of those vve receive
daily. They corns unsolicited
and unrewarded. They ex
press the sentiments of the wri¬
ter in words that are direct- and

which shall be known as a “Road

the roads in the county be kept
in said book.
We recommend that our Ordi

We recommend that a third

Arbitrary English Lang¬
uage.
We 11 begin with box, and tho
plural is boxes,but the plural of
ox should bo oxen not oxes: tho
one fowl is a goose, but two are
called geese, yet the plural of
mouse should never be meese:
you may find a lone mouse or
a whole nest of mice, but the
plural of house is houses, not
bice; if the plural of man is ni¬
ways called men, why shouldn’t,
ti^e plural of pan bi called pen?
The cow io the plural maybe
cows or kine, but a bow if re
peated is never called bine, and
the plural of vow is vows, never
vine, If I speak of a foot, and
you show me your feet, and
give you a boot, would a pair be j
called beet? Jf one is a (ootli and)
a whole set are teete, why!
.•HSbjeih”’ ' '*If thUmSul ot l ’ J0t! ‘ l ’”;
ir is this and the |
plural is these, should the plu
ral of kiss bo nicknamed koese?
Then one may bo that and three
maj be those, yet hat in the
plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats not
cose. We speak of a brother
and also of brethren, but though
we may say mother we never
say methreu; then the mascu
line pronouns are lie, his, him,
Hut imagine the feminine she,
shis, shim. 8o the. English, I
think, you all will agree, is the
lauguage you ever dkl
see.—Ex.
