happenings there once lived a little girl with A
name so long that none Of the books then made

ridge would have been burned up weeks before.
And even though she tried the experiment Of first
saying what she wanted done and then calling her
daughter by several OF her names. that also was
very inconvenient. so at last she decided 10 keep

Sunday morning which wilted
crops badly, followed by good rains
and higher Winds in the afternoon.
Winds tangled crops badly.
There were many visitors in town
Che past week. Several of the
state candidates gave us q passing
call. Some of them took special
pains to win votes from everybody
while it was noticeable with others
they pressed their claims more Wig
orously among those who happened
to have on clean shirt, etc.

Mr.. Editor
AS there have been various re-
ports circulated in reference to
what Supervisor Stephens said in
our presence at Liberty about
working the public roads with the
chain gang and especially in Hur-
rlcane township.
We understood him to say:
L want to work the leading roads
with the convicts first and then if
we have any time, put it in on the
other roads. / want to use the
communication tax, and the hands
who have not paid on these other
roads, and / want to pay Liberty
what the county owes them and
work the road from Liberty to
Pickens before Com missioner Stew
art takes the conylcts to Hurricane
township.
