OUR PUBLIC ROADS.
We frequently hear clamorings
for a new system of working the
public roads, and many arc the
suggestions as to the most, feasible,
plan of providing first-class roads,
at the least expense..
Has the present system been
thoroughly tested by giving full
powers allowed to overseers under
the present law? No! It has not
had the latitude intended hy the
legislature upon the question.
The law provides for the work
ing of a person, subject to road
July, fifteen days in a year, and
npver to our knowledge has any in
dividual put in more than one
third of the time. Suppose at the
most convenient season of the y< ar
the fifteen days are worked
In five years v;e would see our pres
ent system free from its imaginary
defects. When we say work til
teen days, we do not mean to work
as has been the custom heretofore.
But when a man fails to do his du
ty let the overseer report him for
whatever default in his labor there
may be. What work is done Jet it
he with a view to permanency, and
not simply to slight and shirk a
Juty.
Let our overseers begin by work
ing ten days in the year, and
those ten days he devoted to ma
pademizing where necessary.
Good public roads are weakly to
any co.unty enterprising enough to
pride jn their construction. Ini
five years, with a permanent road I
bed the work would he compara- |
tively nothing.
Who will be the first to adopt
our suggestions?
The Republican national con
vention is in a considerable mud
dle. John S. Wise and Mahone
are henceforth forever and forever
enemies.
Present indications point to the
nomination of either Sherman.or
Harrison. In the event neither
can secure the nomination Blaine
will undoubtedly be the nominee.
Just as sure as the ‘•Plumed
Knight” gets the nomination just
that sure will he accept.
The Chattanooga Times seems
lo think that Henry Watterson
does not know free trade from pro
tection. The Times accuses Wa
t/ j'sou of saving the Mills bill was
a protective measure.

FROM MON. \V. J. TAYLOR,
To Ilio Voters of (he 44th Senato
rial District:
I enmo to Dade 40 years ago,
and during that period, except
when absent on account of tin; mis
fortune:-' of war, have been 'one of
her citizens, i have labored with
her people as well as those of
Walker and Catoosa, both in tri
umph and defeat. I deem ii no
part of egotism to assert that, as a
citizen socially and politically, i
have always done my part of the
burden in every battle fought dur
ing this time. The old citizens all
know mo, having stood shoulder to
shoulder with many of them in
contests that cannot he forgotten.
But there are many young men
that have come to the ballot box
since I mingled much with the
people. To one a nd. all f say for
the first time I ask ol' you office,
and only desire it now as a free
gift of the people. 1 shall not he
around among you to any great ex
tent persuading you to vote for
me, or telling you some disagreea
ble story on my neighbors or oppo
nents in order to gain your favor.
If you cannot give me preference
on my own merit 1 would not ob
tain it by slander. J pitched my
crop before 1 became a candidate,
and must see that out. Bui if by
plurality you call me hence I will
be there, and will stick to you and
and your interests with the Same
nerve and fidelity 1 pow do my
coni and potatoes. If I get laid
by, i will he with you on the 4th of
July. If not, please remember me
as one who could not go, because
the weeds were growing so.
If there is any point at issue on
which any voter or company of vo
ters would like to have my personal
views, write me on the subject, and
I will answer you fully. In ac
cepting office at the hands of the
people 1 should not consider my in
dividual opinion in opposition to
their expressed wishes in any case.
However, I am one of the people,
and their interest is my interest.
Trusting myself to my fir!• pds I
am in hope of success.
Wm. J. Taylor.

GRAPE VINE, TEXAS.
Editors Dade County News.
I wiii write you a few
1 am a reader of your excellent pa
per, Although a citizen of the Lone
Star slab-,I was furmcrlp a,resident
of dear old Dade.
The health of the people is extra
good for this season of the year.
Crops arc very good, although
three to lour weeks later than
usual. Harvest is in full blast,
and ono can hoar the sickle from
sunrise until it got:,; down behind
the western prairie.
1 was on Uncle Bi v. Austin’s
farm yesterday, and he has between
To and TOO acres in wheat, and
they were working five horses to a
self-binding machine. After 1 left
the wheat-field I went to the house
and ate supper with the two good
old souls, I nolo I>lov. and Aunt
Bollv. And when I say supper I
mean a square meal, for Aunt Pol
ly always has something on her ta
ble that is nice and good.
Well, I might as well say the
Democratic party of Texas is jubi
lant over the results of the St Louis
convention, and the renornination
and election of Governor Ross to
his second term is certain.
Respects to old friends in Dado
and success to the News.

Great excitement prevails in
Laurens, S. C., caused by the elope
ment of Rev. Joe Jones, brother of
Sam Jones, the Georgia evangelist,
and Miss Bessie Farrow, of Cross
Anchor, vS. C. Mr. Jones met the
lady last summer while conducting
a religious meeting qt Laurens.
The mother of the young lady was
opposed to the match, but it was
favored by her father. On one oc
casion, it is said, Mr. Jones went to
see his affianced and v,*as met by
in r mol her, who shut 1 lie door in
his face and refused to admit him.
Mr. Jones became tired of such ob
stacles, and, with the aid of a
friend, secured the girl, ran away
and miUT iyd her. The couple ex
pected to leave on fi night train
hut the bride left in such haste
that she neglected to take her bag
gage. The mother declines to give
it up, and threatens to shoot the
first man who puts his foot inside
the door. Mr. Jones is 35 years
of age, and has for sometime past
been preaching at Lauren e S ('.

FROM AUNT POLLY.
V Tender and Touching Tribute of
Sorrow.
How hard it is to sav, ‘‘Thy will
be done,” when death, with his
rob rifles hand, lays low .mo eh r
ished idol of th ■ heart. Hon hard
to see the sparkling eye grow run
to feel the hand that om e -,la.
our-own in love grow col. .
listen for the music of on ■ d.-.n*
voice and know that voice* is hush
ed forever. Tlr.cn the from (ding
lips refuse to say “Thy will ho
done/' How unllin. hingly v, < can
stand with friends around the
death-bed of sonic one as dear to
thorn as their own lives. How elo
quently can we quote to them he
words of good old Jol >, and ot h : :
“The Lord gave, and the Lord hath
taken away.” “He tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb.” “Thy
will be done.” But widowed <mo.
who thinkest of the years or love
and joy fprever fled ; who still, in
fancy, hears the loving tones, arid
seest the beaming eyes of him who
long since stole thv heart away;
when thou didst sit beside his bed
of pain and wipe the gathering
damp from his cold Brow, and
moisten his silent lips— ‘ 4 T!;y will
be done, Thy will ” Couklst
thou then say it. widowed one?
Or later, when you realized that I
faithful, loving heart was stilled
forever? Whilst you pressed yom
orphaned little ones to your own
louely, aching heart, thinking of
the great responsibility of training
them aright left on your weak
shoulders to bear alone along UfoT
jaded pathway; say,could you from
the depth of your heart th us cry,
“Thy will he done? ” If you could
not, in pity, tell in - so, that I may
know that I am not alone ike
most stubborn of (mu's creatures
on earth.
Mother, thou who hast watched
b aide thy long y.< ary
‘nights; hast scan death steal the
rose from its soft cheek, and
watched the lamp of life burn low,
dicker, than die out; when clasp
ing the lifeless clay to thy empty
heart, was it not bard “Thy wil; b"
done,” to utter? Ah. 'tu- hard in
deed to say! Yt t them is some
consolation in knowing that it is
Nature that writhes and hates the
rod, while faith looks up and
blesses God.
While i wrote these words, iny
friends, a message came to me:
‘Found dead! ” For one moment
my heart stood still. I t cannot be !
Then 1 thought of the stricken
husband, the motherless children.
And again I repeated th words,
“Found dead.” Oh, the y.-tery
of life—of death. la grief pover
ty, their wait upon this earth, many
who long, who pray to die. Death
leaves them to a reluctant life.
But she, born away without a mo
ment’s warning. This woman, in
comparative youth and happiness,
.while those who loved her smiled,
died without cue parting word to
the dear ones left behind. Com
fort roust come to those who loved
her. In the memories of her life
there is nothing huj goodness and
kindness to look back upon ; and
sweet recollections will steal away!
bitter thoughts after .awhile, but!
oh, they cannot take the loneliness :
from the days, or the weariness
from the nights, for this grief must
be life-long.
