A New Public Road Being Located.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The Commissioners appointed by
the County Board to lay out the road
from J. Fl. Counts to John P. Cor
ley's met on last Wednesday morn
ing with three outsiders who greatly
assisted us in locating the road. 1t
seemed that all was agreed to have
the best road bed possible. We were
not asked to 60 around anybody's
land line or over any bad hill or to
avoid any field if it was the best
track. It is a pleasure to work
when everything works so smooth,
without any friction. I anticipated q
good road bed, but it is better than
I expected, the only hill that amounts
to anything of hill is from the
Fourteen Mile creek up to Mr.. John
Corley's. The ferry place, we think,
is first class. The road is DOW
ready for the axes. The people
along the line of road are anxious
for the Commissioners to order out
the hands and have the road opened
Mr.. Editor, when we get nearer
we will come often, if we don't stay
any longer. Now, Mr.. Editor, if
you can Stir the people Of the county
up to have 8 road convention and
discuss road building it would be a
great benefit to our county. If we
don't move up along on that line we
will soon fall far behind our sister
counties. Bad roads are a great
expense. Good ones are luxury.

A Mixed Wedding Party.

"The college roommate of friend
of mine was engaged 10 a lady in
New York." writes the Rev. D. NJ.
Steele in his article on Some People
I Have Married" in The Ladies'
Home Journal. His people are
Congregationslists, but while at Yale
he became an Unitarian. Her parents
are Roman Catholics, but she was
member of the Ethical Culture
society at Carnegie hall. In COM
pliance with her mothers wish he
asked FIVE different priests to marry
them, but all refused. In despair
he came for me. 1 married them,
an Episcopalian, with the ritual SER
vice in Presbyterian chapel. The
Roman Catholic brother of the bride
and the Congregational sister OF the
groom were crescent. This sister
acted as one witness; the other wit
ness was Jewess."

WHEN PA BEGINS TO SNORE.

Ny pas got aomepin' in his nose that's
fassened there to stay,
That all the neighbors wishes he
would lose or give away.
Some sort O. bellering affair, like bulls
has in their throats,
Or like big bass horn, except it
never plays DO notes.
Ma says it's sleepin' on his back, he
says it is Katarr,
But you can bet your bloomin' life
what ever it may are,
It's there fur doin' bizness, an it
does it, too, fur sure.
As all the neighborhood kin tell when
Pa begins to snore!
Ma says if she'd a ever knowed that
be was such a fright
A try'n' to skeer the livin' out an
rise the dead at night,
She'd never have consented fur to be
his lo7in' wife
An share his sorrers an his joys an
lead sleepless life.
It's hard on me the same as her, fur
when I git gsleep
An dreaming I'm hunter bold out
in the forest deep,
feel my hair risin' up to hear a
lion roar
An then wake up in fright to hear it's
Pa begun to snore!
Ma says that somedsy when we git
to heaven afterwhile,
Where every prospeck's goin' to please
an only man be vile,
IF people there is jest the same as
people here below,
She can't imagine how she's goin' to
bear the load o woe!
She thinks that at the usual time up
there amongst the blest
The angels II be broken o their
sweet selesschul rest
An tumble round while an then
get up an walk the floor
An wish he'd never bin redeemed
when Pa begins to snore!

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an iphamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When then this tube gets infamed
you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrhl that can not be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

full fight the attorneys representing
him before the court have met with,
be has saved to the school fund Of
our county, in round numbers, two
thousand FIVE hundred dollars.
Before leaving this branch of our
investigation we beg to report that
We find the Comptroller General paid
over to our County Treasurer for the
benefit of the school fund, the sum
of S1,621 42, and in doing go failed
to advise the School Commissioner OF
the fact, and had it not been for the
kindness and integrity of our County
Treasurer in advising the School
Commissioner Of the fact, the School
Commissioner would have remained
unadvised, and this fund would have
remained in the treasury without
bsnefting the schools in the least in
the coming school year. This should
not be, and We ask that the matter
be called to the attention OF the
proper authorities at once.
We have examined the School
Commissioners report handed to the
court, and We find that it talleys with
cur examination of the records of his
Office in our special Investigation.
The Treasurer makes complaint
that he has no record Of the railroad
bonds issued upon the Dutch Fork
section of the county, and he says
there have been three bonds Of the
same number presented to him for
payment. We recommend that this
matter be looked into by the proper
authorities and the Treasurer furn-
ished with record of the same.
