to take in the great Exposition. The ex
cesdingly liberal rates offered By the
SOutheran K. r. aud other roads running
into OF having connections to Atlanta.

to visit the Exposition, which, in some
respects. Is reported to be more interest
inE and enjoyable than the recent great
Columbian affair at Chicago.
We learn that a number OF turkeys
have been shot in thu fields at a distance
from the farm houses by parties who pre-
tend to be hunting other game. Some
Of the scOundrels are in closer place
than they suspect aud it may be that q
dose of justice Is nearer than they I'M
agine. 1t is just such contemplate
thieves that anger the landowners and
cause them to forbid all hunting on their
property.

cat and bruised Mr. Minnick is very
fast and expert rider and has won q num-
Der of prizes during the summer.
Shenandoah is a rich, prosperous coun
", and her people are as intelligent and
IN many respects as progressive as any in
the State. Bot in be matter Of roads We
are far behind many other counties. With
the exception of the great Valley Turn
pike which traverses the county its en-

hardly good road in it, while most of
them are abOnt as bad as they cau be.
This county can never expect te becoms
the prosperous section that natare in
tended it to be until we solve the prob
lem Of good roads.

to an alarming extent, while the water
supply OF numerous large towns and cities
is so low as to cause the greatest anxiety
nd apprehension. PRAYERS for rain are
