The Road Law.
GEORGIA, Chattooga county.
Chattooga Court of Ordinary of
said county setting for county pur
poses March 24th, 1896. It is or
dered by the Court that the follow
ing rules and regulations (the
same being subject to amendment
from time to time by the Court)
be and they are hereby adopted
to put in force and operation the
general Road Law of said State •
approved Oct 21, 1891.
The same having been recom- :
mended by the Grand Jury of said
county January Term Superior
court 1896, as provided for in said
act.
First, all road hands subject to |
road duty shall be required to put ■
in ©r work four days during the re- I
mainder of the present year when |
notified by the proper person of I
the time and place of working, the
implements to bo used, or pay at
or before the time of first working |
two dollars to the person authoriz-|
ed to receive the same who shall
receipt said hand for the same
which shall bo in lieu of the four
days w ork. This four days or two
dollars does not exempt the road
hands from opening up new roads or
changing old ones, but shall be
' subject to road duty until such j
1 roads are completed or pay fifty '
cents per day, that the road hands j
are employed on opening up 1
I such new "oads or change of old
ones, all of such commutation tax
to be collected by the superinten
dents of the roads of the several
districts or their lawful agentsand
turn over to said superintendents
whose duty it is to transmit the
same so soon as collected to the
county treasurer of said county to
be added to the general road fund
of said county. Should said ro- d
hands or any of them when noti
fied to appear (which notice shall
be not less than one day) and
bring the implement required or
refuse to work, or both, or pay the
commuta ion tax. Then said su
perintendort or his agent shall
within five days date of working
roads return such delinquents in
writing to the Ordinary of said
county as road defaulters with the
number of days ho or they are in
default.
There shall be a superintendent
of the public roads in each district
in said county whose duty shall be
to lay off the public roads in sec
tions which shall be to the best
interest of the county, and have,
said roads worked in the best pos
sible manner by said road hands;
either by contract or overseers as
the case may bo, all cf which must
bo d< no in writing and bund fur
the faithful performance of said
contract, made payable to said Or
dinary or his successors in office
in double the amount of his con
tract. The several superintendents
will enter into bond and security
i'i such sums as may bo required
of them by this court for the faith
ful performance of their several
duties which are or may hereafter
be placed upon them, which will
be any duty the Ordinary can place
upon them that is imposed upon
said Ordinary by law and can be
conferred upon the several super
intendents to said court of ordina
ry. Said bond to be made payable
to the Ordinary and his successors
in office, conditioned for the faith
ful performance of said superinten
dents duties. Said superintendents
be required to keep a road book,
! number of sections of roads, names
of road hands for each section, so
| that said road book will sl ow the
number of days the hands worked,
or the name of the party who paid
and what road they paid to. Said
superintendents shall be empow-,
ered to lay out work and make re-'
I ports on all contemplated new
I roads or damages of old roads in
the same manner as such work
was done under the old road law
of the state, also to superintend
the working at the opening up of
all new roads, he having the pow
er t« order all contractors or over
seers under his supervision to warn
the hands under his charge to ap
pear at these workings; said con
tractors or overseers to look after
the road hands under his care and
>ee that they do good honest work
in opening up said roads. Should
any contractor or overseer fail to
do his w hole duty as contractor or
overseer then he w ill I>e deemed a
road defaulter and bv the superin
tendent of roads of the various
districts returned as such to the
Ordinary as other road defaulters
to be dealt with as the law directs!
That the superintendents of roads
shall be entitled to one dollar per
mile of road in their respective'
districts p< r year, er fractional
part thereof, in full payment for
all duties imposed upon them un
der and by virtue of their office;
no extra service allowed. This
one dollar per mile to be in fu l
for all work done by them.

A farmer of Colquitt county ex
hibited in Moultrie recently a pig
that was a curiosity. From the
middle of its body back it was two
well developed pigs, while the head
part was only one, except it had
two tongues, two sets of teeth, and
two feet that came out just behind
the left shoulder, and looked like

Two weekly papers are publish
ed in the town of Midvale, Neb.
Quite naturally, they are deadly
rivals for public favor. A week
ago one of the papers secured a
“scoop” upon its competitor, the
news being of an especially impor
tant character. The editor of the
second paper resolved to get even,
and to make an item on which he
would beat his measly contempo
rary just as sensational as possible
To accomplish that end he wrote
up an elaborate account of his own
suicide, had it put in type and
read the proof, waited until his ri
val had gone to press, and then
took poison in the manner so
graphically described in the story.
He was saved by a physician’s
stomach pump, and had the sat
isfaction of knowing that his pa
per got on the streets with the news
two hours ahead of his rival,
Mule Thief Captured.
Some one stole two fine mules
from W. W. Pace, at Trenton, last
Wednesday night and investigation
showed that George Murray, a ne
gro who had formerly worked for
'Pace, was missing.
The thief was followed across
Lookout mountain, and on to
Chickamauga, Tenn., where he was
arrested. The mules were found
at Crow's stable at Chickamauga .
The negro c -nfessed the crime and
was carried back to Trenton and
jailed.
The recent cold snap has kept the
fruit back and there is now a good
prospect for an excellent fruit crop. j
A MYSTERIOUS COUPLE.
Something That Resembled an
Undeveloped Sensation.
It is not generally known that a
coup e, completely wrapped in a
very interesting haze of mystery,
spent most of the winter “in our
midst.” Tho circumstances of
their life here resembled the stuff
that <ur daily papers make “sen
sitions” of. They came here short
ly after Christmas; they were very
respectable lookir g and had no
difficulty in obtaining board at the
Hix House, a private boarding
house, where they gave their names
as “Mr. and Mrs. Williams.”
Tho man left after installing his
wife in her quarters. He returned
at intervals of a few weeks but no
one knew of his coming or going.
He never bought any railroad tick
ets, and in many ways seemed ex
tremely desirous of making as lit
tle noise in life as possible, which
proved conclusively that he wasn’t
a politician—but that’s another
story. The woman, also, sedulous
ly avoided notice, rarely leaving
her room except at night and al
ways fleeing from any chance visi
tor as from a pestilence. She nev
er left the house except at night,
when she usually took walks for
j exercise and air, presumably.
' These tactics were so successful
that only a few people knew of
their presence here until shortly
before they left.
This town isn’t any different
from other towns in respect of cu
riosity, and when the inhabitants
did discover these shadows of my
stery—of possible criminals, or
elopers from the bosom of their
families —they were much interes
ted if not excited. Everybody was
anxious to catch a glimpse of the
woman in the case, and this desire
was gre-stly stimulated in the
breasts of the men by a report that
she was good-looking.
Finally one day it was rumored
about town that the couple were
leaving on tho afternoon train.
The folk were excited then ! The
couple selected a very rainy, bleak
day for their departure, evidently
thinking that few people would be
loafing about the streets or depot,
but they had a surprise in store
for them. A large paity of young
women braved the elements to go
to the train, and all the men did.
Men were to be seen on all sides
hurrying into their coats as they
left their stores and offices, and
one man who was moving his office
stove into a new building, hadn’t
time to wash his face and hands,
and excited the comment of the
people by appearing smeared with
soot. In short, the people “venied
and vidied” and the objects of
their attention looked as if they
feared they would “vici” them too.
But the poor, worried couple were
allowed to board the train and de
part, looking as if they felt they
h>d just escaped death at the
hands of a mob, which fearful look
was interpreted as an expression
of guilt by the suspicious behold
ers. They have not realized yet,
probably, that they were merely
objects of amiable curiosity.

Reader.
In this issue of the News will
be found tue announcement of Dr.
R. Y. Rudicil as a candidate for
representative. In calling atten
i ticn to his card it is needless for
lus to say anything in his behalf.
He is too well known to the people
■' of the-county as a man of large
experience, of mature judgment,
and of sound and conservative
views on all matters affecting the
public welfare, to need any word
of commendation from us. When
you go to make out your ticket,
take all these things into consider
ation.
“.MAYBE A SERMON—
MAYBE A SONG.’
Rambling Remarks.—
Now I shall announce in the begin
ning of this thst nothing occurs to me
just now to write about but fashion
and spring clothes, so it the clear men
do not care for those subjects they
needn’t read any further. However
I will hold out to them the faint hope
of a digression or two—l never know,
myself, how these “sermons’’ will end,
and the turns they take are as surpris
ing to me as they could possibly be to
any one else. But to return to the
clothes—which is something 1 find
myself doing continually, I cannot
keep away from them—the women
will certainly be arrayed like the lilies
of the field this summer, but I am sor
ry to say they will not, by any means,
be exempt from toiling and spinning.
For, while one really clothes oneself
with the products of the air, the sun
shine and earth, as do the lilies, there
is a pretty price put upon it and mon
ey must be had. Soil' the woman does
not actually toil for it, herself, it not
infrequently happens that she is obliged
to spin pretty little webs to catch the
man who does.
The men, you know, do nothing
' but toil that their women folk may
live well; but they never cease to re
pine at the cost of things. They real
ily take pleasure in seeing their wives
; and daughters arrayed beautifully, but
few of them can resist the temptation
to nag a little. It is seemingly a duty
they owe themselves. You know the
; American man has the reputation a
■ mong foreigners of being the most
generous husband in the world. He
is pictured, by them, as toiling and
slaving that his wife may shine in the
social world, and is quite content to
exist in the reflection of her glory.
This may be a very good general type,
but I don’t think the im’iii idual husband
' combines all the qualities attributed to
i this type, and I am skeptical as to the
I general truth of the type, itself.
It is certainly*true that qur women
have more absolute liberty than those
of any other nation and I am willing
to give the men whatever credit they
deserve for it. 1 don’t know whether
this freedom was designedly planned
by men for women, or whether it came
about through force of circumstances,
but I believe in the latter, and I think
too, that the solution of the matter
may be found in this. The question
of woman’s progress will adjust itself
naturally. If woman’s present clamor
for “rights,” or whatever she chooses
to call what she wants, is not a real
part of the orderly progress of the
world’s life we may be sure nature will
not tolearate it long. It will subside,
it will die, because it has not the germ
of truth, or because the world does not
need it. Everything that is has its
mission in nature’s economy. Things
do not happen. If we were wise e
nough to comprehend cause and effect
in the same glance we might see that
certain things are but the logical se
quence of conditions, past or present.
It is a beautiful thing to believe in
that Power that orders the universe
under laws of justice and truth. We,
ourselves, are always at cross-purposes
and nothing would ever be accomplish
ed if we had the ordering of events.
We rail at the blind fates, at the “des
tiny that shapes our ends, rough hew
them how we may.” That is pure
: folly; what is is best. I shall be truly
1 glad when men think this of the “new
j woman.” lam always sorry to see
I men and women regarding each other
as natnral enemies, and this state of
affairs certainly exists between certain
I types of the new woman and the old
man. Thev were intended to work
I
j together, each complementing, and
; complimenting the other; thus the
■ most perfect results may be obtained.
I know’ a small woman who has a huge
: husband, the very soul of kindness to
: her, and I've heard her say that “wo
men didn’t really havs a dog's chance,”
; and declare war against man as the
• cause of all the trouble. Man isn’t
1 perfect, to be sure, but he must be
given credit for the good graces he
has, and they are many.
Well, I haven’t said much about
clothes after all. I shall have to re
serve that for another time; my mind
has run ury, now. The feeble stream
let proceeding from my pencil point
has already presaged this fact. I think
I need a change of scene—l can’t say
“change of air,” for this robust March
weather rings every possible change
upon that—to invigorate my intellect.
Possibly I can induce thejenior editor
to encourage and foster my journalistic
genius by granting a permission to go
a visiting—you see this “new (?) wo
man" is still in subjection to the “old
man.”
(That suggests another paragraph I
might write on •-Managing Men—
Ways and Means,” but this is long e
nough, already. Besides invidious
comparisons might suggest themselves
to the s. e, and I might not go a-visit
ing after all. It is certain that tact
must be used In managing even the
most guileless of men.) E. C.

The little nine muiths old son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Godwin, of
C-.-bb county, died March 11th and
on the 15111 the little body was
cumiriitied to tho earth, at Morris
Hill cemetery.
A very large concourse of friends
and relatives of the bereaved par
ents were present at the last sad
rites to manifest their sympathy
t j the sorrow stricken ones in their
hour of great trial. Few parents
ever loved a child more fondly
than these did the little son, who
i during his brief stay with them
I had sj won their love that when
they came to give him up to death
! their sorrow was almost too great
to bo borne. But however dark
tho picture of earthly grief and
; sorrow ; however cruel the blow ;
i kt the parting be as sad as it may,
these heart broken ones should re
member one tiling, and that is that
j
j there is a brighter land above,
where they may meet the loved
and lost, and where there shall bt
no more sorrrow or parting. "The

Mothers
Anxiously watch declining health of
their daughters. So many are cut off
by consumption in early years that
there is real cause for anxiety. In
the early stages, when not beyond
the reach of medicine, Hood’s Sarsa
parilla will restore the quality and
quantity of the blood and thus give
good health. Read the following letter:
“It is but just to write about my
daughter Cora, aged 19. She was com
pletely run down, declining, had that tired
feeling, and friends said she would not
live over three months. She had a bad
Cough
and nothing seemed to do her any good.
I happened to read about Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla and had her give it a trial. From tho
very first dose she began to get better.
After taking a few bottles she was com
pletely cured and her health has been the
best ever since.” Mbs. Addie Peck,
12 Railroad Place, Amsterdam, N. Y.
“I will say that my mother has not
stated my case in as strong words as I
would have done. Hood s Sarsaparilla
has truly cured me and I am now well.”

Soliloquy of a Young Lady, by Lydia
Gardner.
In addition to the above declama
tionsand recitations there were excel
lent dialogues which were well ren
dered. A lack of space prevents a
mention of the excellent features of
the entertainment, but it is sufficient
to say that tbe audience was delighted.
Joe Golightly happened to a very
painful accident a few days ago which
may result in the loss of one eye. He
unfoitunaely stuck awl in the ball of
his right eye. The result cannot now
be foretold. G. W. B.
Postmaster Pepper Dead.
Mulford M. Pepper, postmaster of
Rome, died at his home in that city
last Saturday at 2 o’clock, after a very
brief illness of pneumonia. Mr. Pep
per was a generous hearted, whole
soulcd gentleman anil perhaps had as
many warm friends as any man in
Rome. His death is peculiarly sad, as
his wife had died of the same disease
only a week before, and it is believed
that the shock of her sudden death had
much Io ao with the fatal sickness of
Mr. Pepper.
