THE HOUSE OF NEVER.

The house of Never Is built, they say.
just over the Hills OF the By-and. By
Its gates are reached by a devious way,
Hidden from all but an angeI's eye.
1t winds about and in and out
The hills and dales TO sever.
Once over the hills of the By-and-By
And you're lost in the house OF Never.
The house of Never is tlled with waits,
With just-in-a-minutes and pretty-soons:
The noise OF their wings as they beat the gates
Comes back to earth In the afternoons
When shadows fly across the say
And PUSHES rude endeavor
To question the hills of the By.and.By
AS they ask for the house OF Never
The house of Never was built with tears;
And lost in the hills of the By-and By
Are million hopes and million fears
A baby'S smiles ana woman's cry
The winding way seems bright to-day,
Then darkness falls forever
For over the hills OF the Ry-and-By
sorrow waits Ill the house of Never

Deal,' you stated that the grand jury
''decapitated'' the old board of education
by :electing an entirely new one to look
after the school interests of the county
1t might be inferred that there is some-
thing 'dead up the branch'' by saying
that the old board was decapitated. For
information in the matter Twill state
that two of the defunst BOARD rendered
their resignation to the governor over
two years ago and were accepted, the
term of Office of two more of them ex-
pired long since, ana. the other member
died several years ago. l am informed
that Several of the vaean sies were flied

be cancelled when paid.
We further recommend that the coun-
ty commissioners pay to the sheriff the
sum of S1.25 for each prisoner brought
into court.
We find the court house has been COM
pleted and received by the county con
missioners, and it is with pleasure that
we tender our court house commission
ers our appreciation of their very faith
full and efficient services rendered in the
erection of this building; but owing to
the fact that no itemized statement of
their Servi ses or personal expenditures
have been furnished us, we think it
proper to refer the matter of any remu-
neration that may be due them TO the
county commissioners.
We recommend that the rubbish be
moved off of the court house lot. We
recommend that the old Jail and lot be
sold; that tue cid court house be moved
square, that iron cages be placed in it,
and that any improvement be made that
may be necessary to make it a safe and
comfortable Jail.
We fad the roads and bridges of our
county in fair order, bur urge upon the
road commissioners that they put the
public reads of the county IN such con-
dition as the law conemplates.
We call the county commissioners at
t,ntion to the bridge across Bear creek
near j. j Kennedy's and Notchaway
creek near r. X. Cobb's.
We recommend that jurors and court
house bailiffs be paid two $500 dollars
per day and riding bailiffs $500 three
dollars per ray.
In conclusion, we respectfully tender
our thanks to his Honor, Judge c, L.
Bartlett, for his clear and able charge to

Tom Watson would speak in this part of

Watson a big boom in his gubernatoriai
aspirations. The plan is to have an old
fashioned barbecue and outdoor speak
ing Some point eligible to Randolph,
Clay, EARLY, Calhoun and Terrell coun
ties is to be selected, and then the
"whooping' will begin. Mr.. Watson is
to come with the Chicago convention in
one hand and long list of democratic
broken promises in the other, and lay
bare the utter folly of ever expecting
any redress under the Cleveland regime.
Well, time will prove whatever prom
ises may or may not be fulfilled Oy the
democrats. Ia the meantime, would
advise my populist friends to keep their
eyes open to a well filled larder, good
schools and churches, teraced lands,
fruit trees, ETC., also arrange for good
pastures. Raise corn and hogs, chickens
and eggs, a few gourtls, with fair crop
O cane and potatoes; little cotton for
home use that can be spun and woven
rainy days won't hurt. There should be
some knitting thread put away to keep
the dear old mothers happy long winter
nights. Let's get back to first priciples.
This rapid drifting away is the real
cause of much confusion and internal
strife.

Two neat. attractive fences were de-
scribed not long ago in American Gar
dening. The first consisted of two or
three strands of wire. with an embank-
ment of earth drawn up steeply under
meath If there were any stones in this
ridge they We're deeply covered. The
ridge was well sodded and wide. shall
low ditch lay between it and the track
of the roadway so that all except just
the einbanllment itself could be readily
moved with machine. This roadside
presents as neat and trim an appearance
as any other piece of meadow land, and
to Judge from Indications the yield of
hay had been sufficient to pay ii very
good interest at least ON the cost of put
ting the roadside in shape.
The other plan of fence was plain,
rough, board structure, with the ground
around it perfectly level and well cult
waited Black cap raspberries grown
from directly beneath it were trained in
and out among the boards for support,
the canes being allowed to grow quite
tall and spreading. On a much travelled
highway such berries would doubtless
be somewhat injured by dust, but this
fence was on a quiet road. where little
dust arose, and the result was a neat
roadside, with an abundance of easily
accessible fruit for family use.
