Perfectly Satisfactory.

The practical working of the road
machine was exhibited at this place
last Monday in the presence of a
large number Of people. The work
done by this machine was perfectly
satisfactory to those who witnessed
it in operation and showed that it
will do all and little more that the
agents claim for it. Among other
things claimed, NJ. Rice says that
it will easily do the work Of forty
men per day.
Mr.. Walter Barre, a member of
the County Board of Commission
ers and an experienced mechinists,
who paid particular attention to all
the details, says he tried the ma
chine and is satisfied that it will do
all that is claimed for it. The ma
chine works sand hill roads excel
lently, cleaning bitches, scooping
and throwing dirt to the middle Of
the road leaving it higher than
the sides and making a firm and
solid road bed. There are but few
roads in the county upon which the
machine cannot be advantageously
worked.

Several obituaries have been re.

Several obituaries have been re-
ceived at this Office and are now on
file. Il seems that the people do
not understand our rule for publish
ing matter of this kind. There is no
charge for the simple announcement,
with age, etc, of the death cf a person,
but to extol the virtues of deceased
requires more space than we can con-
veniently give and besides such matter
as rule, is only interesting to the
immediate family of the deceased
and is therefore legitimate matter to
be paid for and heDce as matter of
self defence we are compelled to
charge for the publication of obituary
notices.

Leap Year Privileges!

Two charming, beautiful and sweet
young maidens, matrimonially in
clined, started out recently to captl-
7ate bachelors and ensnare widowers
by darts from their bright eyes and
fascinating ways. After searching
the by ways for victim they at last
succeeded in cornering popular
and handsome widower whose rep
utation for basnfulness is proverbial,
and there and then against the sim
gle blessedness of the aforesaid
widower did lay seige to his heart
and offered themselves a willing sac
rifce upon the altar Of love. The
bashful young man blushed as ne
realized his predicament and how
to out his dilemma he knew
not. A happy thought struck
him and in much confusion, he
proposed that they draw straws
and the one getting the shortest
would be the one whose proposal he
would accept. Oar informant failed
to state who got the short straw,
hence we do not know whether a
pretty romance has been ruthlessly
nipped in the bud or bridal tour to
Maryland has been arranged.
