Cooperative Road Making.

What FARMERS can do by CO.
operation in the matter of road
making is interestingly told by a
Michigan correspondent of the
Orange Judd Farmer. 1t is 9
sandy country where the CORES
pondent lives, and the roads were
generally poor throughout the
year. The town was poor also,
and refused to improve the high
ways. Then the farmers decided
to help themselves. About five.
years ago twenty-five of them
came together and offered to haul
mari ole day free if the township
would allow them to take the mari.
from it's bed. The township was
willing, and about twenty men
volunteered to shovel and level the
mari, ana 30 the first half mile.
was laid. That road proved such,
a success that the next year an
other half mile was put down.
This mari packed down. Sc hard
and made such excellent bed for
gravel that the farmers donated
1925 and labor for about one
quarter mile of gravel. This be-
ing put on in what was always a
wet place, it was spread about
eight inches thick. Next year
$3.50 was collected and about one
half mile was put down spreading
this only about four inches. This: alts:
year only s1OO was collected, but
a quarter mile strip was put: down.,
finishing the mile started Eve years,
before. Besides this about.a half
mile of mari was put down ready
for gravel next fall. This action: 2:
of the farmers stirred up the
townspeople atlarge, and now low = the. ] 3.

4 Method According to Nature

The experiments of modern ply
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many of
the germs of disease enter the body
by the Inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very email but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health;
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed dmuch
light upon this important subject
But up to the present time the
culture of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei destruction. AS we can do
so little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system so that it may repel
and resist their destructive IN
fuence, and does it not seem very
fitting that the revitalizing element
should enter the body through
Inhalation of oxygen which is at
once revitalizer and germicide?
The experienced years and the
testimony of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

Awful Crime in Georgia.

Gainesville, Co.,, March a.
Details of a shocking murder In
Paulding county, twelve miles
from here, is printed in tho News
today.
The victim was a young woman,
Miss Nell Mcdowell.
The girl had been reared by
Son Jones, an old man, and his
wife. The wife, it is stated,
charged her husband with giving
too much attention to the girl and
left him. -
A neighbor of the old man says
that threats have been made to
report the two to the grand jury.
Sunday night, as the girl was
sitting by the fire, some one stuck
shotgun through the window and
blew her head off.
Willie Jones, a son of the old
man, has been arrested charged
with the crime. The evidence
against him is circumstantial, but
very strong. The wadding from
the charge that killed the girl was
picked up. 1t was piece of news
paper on which appeared part Of
the cut of a chicken. The tracks
of the man who fred the
shot were just the size OF the shoe
woru by Willie Jones. In his
house a double-b -barrelled, muzzle-
loading shotgun was found with
one barrel loaded and one empty.
The load was drawn and found to
be wadded with newspaper on
which was the balance of the
chicken cut.
What makes the tragedy of more
horror is, according to the infor-
mant of the News, that the girl is
said to be the daughter of the old
man and a half-sister to the man
who killed her.

Merry Makers Week in Augusta

Our correspondent in Augusta
writes: Few people outside of
Augusta realize the magnitude of
the coming Free Street Attractions
which the Merry Makers AS socia-
tion will furnish the public during
the week commencing April 23rd
TO 2Sth inclusive. For several
years past this city has put on the
finest attractions during their gala
week but the show of this year
will surpass all past efforts in
every particular.
A brief outline of the attractions
are: The free performances on
four large platforms to be erected
on Broad street where the finest
artist that money and experience
can procure. The Amusement
Committee are now in correspond
ence with Theatrical managers of
the East who are booking their
best attractions for Augusta.
Aside from this one of the highest
class midways will be in full blast
on Broad street. Special atten-
tion Is called to the fact that the
association will allow nothing that
will be Objectionable to the most
fastidious, to be presented.
The display of Fire Works given
last were superb but that word
does not express the magnitude
and beauty of this years show.
Exactly twice the amount of money
expended for this attraction last
year will be spent this season.
The Floral parade will surpass
any like attraction given in the
1Southern states. The association
have offered exceedingly handsome
prizes for the best decorated
vehicles of all varieties and in this
manner furnish all those desiring
to enter into the parade an in
centive to spend both time and
money to make their vehicles
superb. Augusta is noted the
world over for her beautiful women,
therefore, what could present a
more beautiful spectacle than a
parade nearly a mile in length and
each vehicle occupied by one or
more of our beautiful women?
The large number Of laboring
people of this section have signifi-
ed their willingness and desire to
cooperate with the. Merry Makers
and to assure the success of elm
dustrial Day" the services of Six
Thousand men and children have
been offered. In this grand parade
a majority of the merchants will
have very attractive Floats thereby
furnishing the show with a grand
carnival effect.
Gen. Joe Wheeler, the most
admired and honored man of the
South and the hero of many wars
has been extended an invitation
to visit this city and participate
with the Merry Makers on Military
Day. On this day it is the desire
of the Association to have many
of the state troops to participate
in the Parade. Alta meeting held at
the Augusta Exchange on Thurs
