Advertising rates made known on ap plication. Colquitt, Ga. A Dangerous Drive ii Early this morning the editress left town to go for Mrs Luther Kimbrel who lives out beyond the home of Mr. A. B. Chapman. Just before reaching the resi dence of Mr Chapman, the graded road from Colquitt runs ovi a pike or embankment (not very wide) between deep cavities said to have been caused by lime su ks Recent rains, filling the sinks had caused the waters to meet over the road. A heavy fog obstructed the vis ion; but the driver stopped the oar at the margin of the water to see if any other oar had left tracks in attempting to pass, through this water which hurl submerged the \ road. The trscks of one car were » 'plainly visible. The spectacles and wind shield were wiped carefully, the Ford put in low gear; and alone tin editress entered that perilous sea of waters, which could not be seen from the entrance. After slowly rolling in, the driver saw the wast< of waters and wanted to reverse and back; but she has never learn ed to keep the oar straight in back lug. There seemed to be noth ing to do, except to press slowly ’ forward, realizing that to drive too near either side might mean to sink from sight. Logs and limbs were floating in and near the road way. A near by fence was the surest guide. We remember that the toad was parallel with this. It was impossible to see the road, just a guess by the fence and the tops of bushes, which could be seen occasionally, With the car at times moat drowned out, over debris, and through washouts it alowly wended its way. Finally, after what seemed an experience too horrible to be true, the waters were left behind, As we drove out a negro boy standing on the bank watching, was asked if any other car had passed through that place. He said, “One.” “Who was it?” we asked. “I dun no. *Twuz acullerd gen, man.” Driving on we thought how could we ever thank God enough for our deliver; but that we would surely find another way borne. Those living in that locality re. 4hms to pa as through the waters with teams; but there is not sign to warn those not familiar with the danger, except the waters which were obscured that morn ing by the fog. gn » If severe winds blow in March thia year, it can be said truly that it had a forerunner in February which brought strong winds; but despite all the disagreeable weath er leaves and blossoms claim the attention of those who love the beautiful things in nature. There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that >s to love this life, and live it as bravely, and faithfully, and cbeer ft»Uy as we can.—llery Van Dyke. Notice P. D.
