He angled in many purling brook,
But lacked the anglers skill;
He lied about the fish he took,
And here he's lying still.
ON AN ACTOR.
Ambitions part he oft essayed,
But never won renOwn.
And in the last great act he played
Death rung the curtain down.
For fame he longed; it kept afar,
And life was full of jars;
But if he faiied to be a star,
He's now above the st Ars.

He did much baking here below:
But now he's gone where there's no baking.

He carried in life many bricks in his hod,

one time that it would be best to leave
1t To the Commissioners and Magistrates
to decide a. to whether it would be
best u levy Il tax upon property to
keep up tie public roads. But after
thinking over the matter Mr.. Graham
and myself concluded that we would
assume the responsibility and have
what is known a. the Mccklenhurg
Road law adopted for Orange county.
This law allows the Commissioners and
Magistrates to levy Il tax of not less
than lccntS or more than 20 centS on
The n hundred dollars worth of pro-
pelty. II requires all able-bodied men
between Tie ages OF Is and 10 to per-
TORN days work during the year, or

members from M~eGklenburg. and were
told that this law, which has been in
force there tor several years, is working
