have been a sufferer from very severe cough from
the first of last November, trying great many pre-
scriptions without any considerable or permanent
Improvement, until the middle OF March, when
friend brought this basam to my notice. tried the
small sample bottle which Mr. Goodwin gave me,
and | had no occasion to try any more, for within
twelve hours from taking the first dose the cough
entirely left me. The result seemed little less than
miraculous. have sent more than score OF SUI
ferers to Mr. Goodwins, No. 3S Hanover St, for the
remedy and, 80 far learn in every instance with
marked success. Respectfully, yours,

THE ROADS.


We had occasion two weeks ago to
indicate by figures well authentica-
ted, the faithful administration OF
our county government, and the
consequent healthy status of Giles
county finances. Our humble Judge
ment is that if our county court has
erred at all, it has been IN too stint
ed outlay Of means for the public
good. We can well imagine the
worthy motives which might actu-
ate a conscientious public function
airy in the matter of spending the
peoples money, and this healthy in
dication of official integrity is in
striking contrast with the wide
spread Generalization which taints
the public virtue of most official
bodies in these days Of peculation
and misrule. We hail it as a sound
symptom in our county legislators,
that they ARE jealous for the rights
and interests of the people. This is
as it should be But while a regard
for individual rights should have its
weight, and should influence official
conduct just so far, yet there is a
point when the PUBLIC good sets up
its claims and challenges, in com
mon with private interests, a heed
full hearing at our hands. And we
most respectfully submit to our
county court whether this point has
not been already reached.
Our public roads, some of them,
are in bad condition, and some 9th
ers well nigh impossible in winter.
And clearly it is not to be denied
that the material interests of the
body of the county, as well as the
convenience of the people, are in
volved in the question of good roads.
We are not unaware of the late
favorable action of the county court
in this direction, as witnessed by the
appointment of a judicious board of
commissioners to look after the re-
pairing and building of bridges on
the pike north and south of Pulaski.
Surely all we're gratified TO see the
court take upon itself, for the good
of the county, the care of this much
travelled but abandoned road. And
what else, we ask, could a court, con
stituted especially for the protection
Of county interests, do, but come to
the rescue, and save from destruc-
ton what is left of the principal
thoroughfare of Giles? The obvi-
Gus consideration of self-preserva-
ton, left the court no alternative
It's action was a prime necessity.
Furthermore, we believe the peo-
pie would sustain them even in a
more special supervision of other
roads in the county.
