Every progressive citizen wants hitter roads throughout the coun ty and hut a very few [have been heard to express their willingness to start some plan by which they may hr had for fear of incurring a. little more of the burdens of tax ation. But few are in favor of bonds. Several tire in favor of working convicts since they can be worked for the food and cloth ing, but stand hack on equipage, the cost of guarding and cost of a foreman to work them. They would not he convicts if you did not have "to guard them. They Aypuld not work and do the work right without a foreman and the only equipage incident to working them extra of what you are going to he compelled to supply if the roads are ever huild, is living quar ters. The living quarters .are a very small item when you come to consider it in the right light. They can he provided without much cost and made portable. Take three No and wagons and huild an Arizona hay frame on it, attach .an iron cage and in this way have a. kitchen, wet weather dining room and sleeping quarters. Two guards at a small wage can guard JO or 40 men by day and one guard them chained bv night. Have a, convict cook, have two trust ye? make a. garden in the lo cality where they arc being worked in the growing season, pen a. few swine along with the camp to consume the swill to make meat when fat and see how very cheap von can build a road thrr ugh the county.

Gentlemen:—l herewith hand you condensed report expenditures for the six months ending Sep . 15th, 1908. The expense of paupers have increased since last report and it will lie found by proper vouchers that the expense of trial ami con veyance to asylum is chargeable to pauper accounts. I'he bridge contracted for lias been completed and paid for as will appear oil proper vouchers. The steel cage for upper room of jail has also been completed and p id ior. All other expenditures will be found under proper headings on record. The (listrihut ive leyv of taxes for this year have not been made owing to a failure of comptroller general to make returns of rail roads and of her corporation prop erty which he informs me is being arbitrated and will -not he com pleted before O toher 1908. hence the delay. I now think the roll lor all county purposes will not -2 mills on the dollars, doc on the SIOO and 50c on flm iylOO for state making 90c on the SIOO for slate and county for the year 1908. If when ar- n ; de I see that the rate can he reduced to doc on the SIOO it shall he made. Recital Postponed.

CUsres Coldsa Prevents Pneumonia ' Thomas Woolbright who drop ped about 3.5 feet from top of a tree on Sand Mountain last Friday and received a dangerous jar which confined him to his bed lor several hours is out again. Thomas was out hunting and shot a squirrel which lodged in the fork of a limb on the tree. He climbed the tiee to got Lis game and a limb ho was holding to broke allowing him to drop through space striking the ground below and leaving an im pre-sion in the earth about live inches deep. Strange to say no hones were broken. Rising Fawn Well, the election is over, and some are pleased and some-are not. Our representative elect, W alter Cu re ton, was seen a day or two a igo up in the woods, with his hat hanging on a stump, making a speech to it. Some say lie takes Bob Smith along and makes him act as speaker oi the house of re presentatives. Poor Bob! I'd hate to be in his place. And George is as proud of Walter as a little girl ■wit h her tiist doll. But my sympathies..are with the .Ideated candidates. My friends and fellow sutferers. I know just you fed, and 1 know from bitter experience how to feel for you. I have been along the road. J was a candidate for school trustee once in Kentucky uiql went down in de feat, my opponent receiving fifteen votes and I only got fourteen. Coming so close to victory made me feel the wound more. 1 then moved to Tennessee and was a can didate for Justice of the Peace a long with seven others and was de feated by an overwhelming major ity. I was thankful t.uu I was not taylored. You see lain in io sition to know the bitter s( n-ai/inm longing and gnawings that go on in a maids ‘hmirds’ * when he is hungry tor an office. I thought 1 wanted an o.Tke this election but ! had Dr-. Brock and Middleton examine me an I they pronounced it liver Double. Dr. Gantrell Hale said it was hypoean dro-dipsomania.ski butGantre.il is just fresh from college, and 1 think he gets too fresh sometimes calling a maids disease anything like that. Bo gentlemen don’t get disheart -4 \ cued l think it was just some disease mod of you had instead of a desire for an office. Well, news is somewhat Usc-na •‘Few clothes*’ Claude Hyatt swapped John Slaton an old horse which Andrew Jackson left over in Alabama on his way to New Orleans in 1812, for an old crow bait of a mule that he has to help get every morning and claims Slaton beat him out of nine dol lars in the trade. I would hot give six dollars for both of them if I wanted them for soap greast. i am sorry to hay that the fam ily relationship of seme of our best people is not what it should be. 1 refer to Tom Smith and his son, ‘•fatty.” (Fatty is growing very thin over it.) It seems that last summer Tom had a small po tato patch which the. bps were about to take and lie told ‘‘Fatty” if he would kill the bugs off he would give him an old domineckcr rooster which lie had on hand, so ‘•Fatty” started in, but after an hours work he concluded the job was too big for the pay, and quit. Tom then told him he w ould give him a cent apiece to kill the bugs and he went back to work. He worked a day and a half and then went to Tom for his pay, claiming he had killed seven billion bugs and when Tom wcntjto pay him lie did not have the money, as it would take all the money Rocke feller, Vanderbilts and the Goulds are worth and ail Lee Castleberry thinks he is w orth to pay it offs They agreed to halve it to arbitra tion, and “Fatty” selected Fling Tidwell and Tom selected your correspondent to settle it but we had a hitch, as Sling claims to be the biggest liar in Georgia and I claim he might have been before 1 came to the state, so there the matter stand s We are all going to try and get an umpire this week forthe third man. We are c. ming on Frank White now . S taking of pot at bags makes me think of a hsh tale Frank Pitt man told me about. Frank caught a lour pound cat fish in a net and laid it on the ground and four or live hours‘.later when he started home he found the fish was still alive, so he put it in the minnow bucket and took it home When arrived there he again laid it out on the ground to die, but after an hour or so the fish was as gaily as | ever* so he took it to the pump and gave it a drink and put it in the horse trough and gave it a bath and let it lie on the ground again, then put it back in the trough. It was not long until the fish (ould live out ot water as well as in it. In a few days it got to know Frank and would follow him all over the yard and could meow like any other cat and when Frank’s little dog Pete would come around, that cat fish would bow up its back and its fins would stand up just like an ordinary ev ery day cat. But alas! All good things have an end. One day Frank started out for a walk and the fish followed along after him, flopping away until they came to wheie a foot "log crosses Lookout creek. The fish flopped off the leg into the creel: and was drowned. II H. Smith. [For the want of space we have to omit part of this communica tion.* —Ed.] Returns From Michigan. W. E. Wilkinson and family o! Sand Mountain have returned from an extended visit to t'le'i old home at Central Lake, Micf. It will be remembered that they went there several months since by way of Ohio where they ac companied the remains of their uuc e who died here and was bi - rice in Ohio. While in Michigan Mr. Wilkin- son put in good time boosting this section of the south to those of his friends who are contemplating a move and place of location. Mr. W ilkinson is not only a booster but is one ot the most progressive men in this- locality lie cam: here only four ye. vs ago ami set down to farming nd ■ (mb in the of Sand Moun tain and by work and the application of mixing brains with lies made a great success in a loos short ti no. lie has dished in the time he !i;s been X \ re what the avmage Bade com - ty farmer (we are sorry to say) would consider almost a lifetime work and yet he is not satisfied. In fact he has only begun to do what lie has planed to do in the fanning and fruit growing busi ness. His plans are to have more of ids fiOO odd acre farm in culti vation and duplicate his already large orchard, diverting a little by planting apple trees with his next j planting equalizing them with the peach.
