GRAND JURY HAS IMPORTANT BUSINESS.
Questions of New System
of Working the Roads and Whether the County Farm
Shall Be Sold Will Be Considered

is claimed by some that the farm is
now being operated to the county's
disadvantage. There are usually but
two or three unfortunates to be cared
for. and IL seems useless, according to
the argument advanced, to keep the
farm in operation for the benefit of so
small number. 1t is claimed that 1t
will be better to dispose OF the farm
and invest the money arising from
such disposal in some other manner.
The grand jury requests The News
to announce that they will be glad to
hear expressions of views from any
citizen who feels interested in these
matters, and all such are invited to APP
pear before that body when it recon
venes and state their views concerning
these two questions.

INTERESTING RELIC.
0. A. Harris Owns Powder Horn Which
Belonged TO George Washington.

Rev. ]. Shirah of PARROT furnishes
the Atlanta Journal the following in
teresting account of relic of reyolu-
tionary DAYS:
There is in the home OF Mr.. o. A.
Harris OF Benevolence, Ca, relic OF
the revolutionary war, powder horn,
which was the printing horn of Gen.
George Washington. 1t came into
their possession through the Coram
family, the great-grandfather of Mrs.
o. A. Harris being member of Wash
ington's staff during the revolutionary
war. He gave it to his eldest Ion,
Thomas Coram, and he TO his eldest
son, John Casper Coram, and as he
had no son the relic fell into the hands
of his daughter, who married Mr.. o.
A. Harris of Benevolence. q most ex-
cellent christian gentleman. No doubt
this story of the relic is true.
"The horn, although it shows its age
to some extent, is in fair state of
preservation and may pass on down
Though many future generations. If
the curio hunters should happen to
pass through that section they would
do we'll to call in and investigate.
at would be hard to tell how much
that old powder horn had to do with
our independence, the number of old
Aint and steel guns j. arime'l, also can
mons. which did Sneir work so success
fully in their day. When l call to
mind an old flint and steel gun that ]
used to have fun with when boy, it's
uncertain printing, firing, ETC., l am
surprised at what was accomplished by
our forefathers in the war Of the revo-
luton.
"a look at the old historic horn,
with little meditation upon the past
as it is contrasted with the present,
will make one feel little more thank
full for his American liberties, and will
feel the patriotic spirit of the father
of our country"
