The importance of good roads in Cobb
county has been repeatedly emphasized
by Judge Gobcr in his charges to grand
juries. We have had number of our
citizens to speak to us about urging
upon the authorities to put the roads
in good passable condition. Good roads
are saving of stock, harness, and We
hicles. Wear and tear depreciates all
of these if the roads are bad. Let the
proper ones begin to devise ways and
means to put all the roads in Cobb
county in the very best fix. Then the
property of the county will be enhanc-
ed in value.

very reprehensible in the Governor to
curse, but if he did, it is equally as
reprehensible topublish it to the world
The Journal should have some pride of
State and some respect for the chief
magistrate, and shielded him from
| public censure.
