Allatoona.

Allatoona.
Notwithstanding the storm which pre-
vailed on Monday night, there was a
fair sized audience assembled at Wheel
er's Hall to witness the great military
drama of AlatOona. This play was in
the course ofpreparation for some weeks
previous, and expectation ran high on
the night of the initial performance, nor
were those who went to see the play dis
appointed, for the whole was rendered
in such u manner as to elicit the closest
attention and the heartiest applause
The play was by far the best of its style
ever produced in this city. The dialogue
is unexceptionaL The drama was
mounted in fine style, with excellent
appointments and wardrobe. The char
acters were well cast, the management
displaying considerable tact in the dis
tribution of the different parts. All the
ladies ard gentlemen engaged in the
performance sustained their several
roles in a very creditable manner, and
much better than large class oi profes
sional players. The parts were well
studied, and therefore dispensed in q
great measure with the presence of the
prompter. On the whole the perform
ances of AuGtOOnG were a perfect sue
cess, and will be long and pleasantly
remembered by those who witnessed
them.

The Turnpike Question.

The Lima Democrat condenses a few
thoughts on this subject as follows:
In Hardin county they have 157 miles
of pike, built at an average cost of 81, =
500 per mile. The county levied one
half of the tax for the work, and the
other half was assessed along the line of
the road. The county levy was three
mills on the dollars valuation. The in-
crease of farm property is estimated at
from 10 to 20 per cent.
In Union county they have 215 miles
of pike, of double and single track, built
at a total average cost, including inter
est, of 50, 500 per mile. The estimated
increase of land per acre is SIS, or three
times the cost of the improvement.
Logan county has 169 miles of pike
completed, with 35 miles under con
struction. The average cost is about
3, 500 per mile, including interest. The
increase in the price of land per acre is
estimated at from 50 to $40.
Clark county has but so miles ofpike
built under the free turnkike" laws,
the average cost of which has been 81,
900 per mile.

Tha Best Is The Cheapest

This maxim was never better illustra-
ted than in the use of ID. b. DeLand &
Co.'S Best Chemical SGlerdtUS. 1t is the
best in the world, and the purchaser gets
afull equivalent for the money paid, in a
pure, healthy..article. To buy any other
is a waste of money. To use any other
is trifling with a great blessing-health.

WE are in receipt of a communication
from gentleman whose friendship we
have always valued very highly, saying
TO us that we must go slow on the ques-
ton of pixies, or we will lose all our sub
scribers. Now, we must say in all kind
ness that we do not feel at all alarmed.
Good pixies will be the most paying in
vestment our people can make. and hard
to invest money to good advantage. A
fax of two mills on the dollar might not
make our preseLt levy any higher, as our
Commissioners can retrench in some
other direction. If any of our people
are afraid they would not get the money
to expend in their own townships, let
the law be amended to that effect. But
we believe that, if our friend will consid-
er the matter carefully, he will come to
the conclusion that it will not pay to be
without good roads, when they can be
built on such easy terms. Perhaps our
friend lives on sand ridge, and don't
need a road as bad as some of his neigh
bors. Still, the enhancement in value of
all real estate, should good roads be
made, will repay our friend for all it will
cost him. When we see our duty so
plainly, we should be guilty of g,eat
cowardice, if we refused to do it, through
fear of a loss of patronage. In any case,
loss or gain, we shall endeavor to retain
our self-respect.

Our observation is that every lawyer who
has carefully studied and has fair know
ledge Of the Bankrupt Act is opposed to
repeal at present and believes repeal
would bring grea. disaster and injury but
on the ether hand those lawyers who have
not studied it and profess to know little about
t.apd this class we think is the largest by far,
are opposed to the law and favor its repeal.
The idea of this law is that when man
has become insolvent and can 60 no further
his property shall all be divided among his
creditors without preference and he be dis
charged of his debts. As times now are
there are but few business men who could
meet their debts if suddenly pressed tor
payment. Yet the most Of them have ample
property if allowed time and opportunity
to turn it, The Bankrupt Act operates as
a restraint upon creditors pressing there
claims and causing failures so long as they
believe the debtor can work himself out. We
think these times could be bridged over,
and a eneral business breakdown avoided,
only hy retentsion of the law. and that to
repeal the law now just as VIC have touched
bottom and the prospects Of business pros
perity begin to brighten, would be unwise
and likely to cause the failure of men in
e7ery community who under the protec-
tion Of this law would weather the storm,
nav their debts in full. save their fortunes
and themselves from financial disgrace.-
