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 • L-“irlin^" mid be tween A lexand er’s store and T. H. . Hardin’s residence. 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 from tlie public i oads of the county. of roads in We find no record, the Ordinary s office.

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?
