DoCKETs OF JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
We have examined the dockets Of
the following justices ana find them

few years our county will be blessed
with system of roadways excelled no
where else in the state. Good roads
are worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers, not to mention their value to
the towns, and in order to secure these
We ought to be willing to pay for them.
The present system should be kept up,
the work being thoroughly done, with
view to permanent Improvements,
rather than make-shifts.
At present the roads throughout the
couDtysare in just such. condition as
would be expected from the continued

across Sweetwater Greek, McKinnins, is
in bad condition and needs attention.
We are informed that the work being
done by Morgan Smith & Co., on The

timbers now supporting the bridge are
of such character that in few years,
they will give way. The fill also will be-

We urge upon the Ordinary not to ac-

standard as agreed when the contract
was given out.
vAGRANT LAW,
There is vagrant law in Georgia,
which. if properly enforced, would rid
the state of very undesirable popula-
ton, and prevent many of the crimes,
which blacken her history. Those who
are able to work and have no visible
means of support, should be compelled
to earn their living or else seek other
fields. The lounger, the idler, the va
grant, are the fruitful source of much
of the lawlessness which crowds our
court dockets, and fills our jails. The
unnameable crimes, which shock the
world and which render our country
homes so unsafe, are, in nine cases OUT
of ten, due to the idlers who are al
lowed to roam the country or loaf in
the towns. We cannot present this
subject too forcibly, and we would urge
that every effort be made to correct
this crying evil
wHIsKEY AND MONEY IN ELECTIONS.

use of money and whiskey in elections.

shame, is no longer confined ta paying

GRAND JURY PRRsENTMENTs.

We, the grand jury. for the March
term of Cobb Superior Court, 1905,
make the following presentments:
BOOKS or THE COUNTY OFFICERS.
In the limited time allowed for the
examination of these books, the jury
can Of necessity make only cursory
investigation. In view of this fact, we
would earnestly recommend that at
least every two years an expert be en-
ployed to go over these books and re-
port as to their correctness to the next
grand jury.
This recommendation is not intended
as reflection on the methods or books
of the present county officers. but is
urged that the books may periodically
pass under the inspection Of skilled
bookkeeper.
TAX COLLECTOR AND TAX RECEIVER.
We find that about 90 per cent. of
the taxes have been collected, $42,-
630.66, April goth being the limit for a
A0Il ulO hboi ICpOI AhO boA
for 1904 show an increase of $134 POO.
The books in these offices are carefully
and neatly kept.
SHERIFF.
We find the books in this office kept
III such manner as to give any desired
information at moments notice, and
the officers vigilant and efficient.
CLERK AND TREASURER.
We find the methods pursued in this
office are both accurate and systematic,
and the affairs of the office conducted
on a thorough, business-like basis.
We deplore the recen. disturbance in
disregarding the expressed will of the
people who placed this important Office
under the care of tried and trusted
man. And we feel that the people at
large should at least have an opportu-
nifty of expressing their wishes atithe
polls for successor to the present eff
ficient treasurer. The office should be
filled by the people, and not by the
courts We find that the indebted
ness of the county is 10000, and that
there is enough money in sight to pay
off all obligations. In view of this

ORDINARY.
We find here that there are vouchers
for $37 ,l91.4l, or $9.017.00 yet to be
paid in. The books are carefully and
neatly kert,
Preceding grand juries have directed
the ordinary to go forward with GER
tain expensive improvements. snotably
in bodybuilding. Expensive machin-
cry had to be bought, also mules and
a general equipment, in order to have
the work completed in the most thor
ough and permanent manner. There
fore the taxpayers have had an unusual
burden to bear, but the good accom-
plished may crafty the unusual ex-
penditure.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

were given thorough investigation,
and after checking up receipts and ex-
penditures we find the following re-
sults:

New York Tanner Has an Astonishing
Record for Attendance

New York Tanner Has an Astonishing
Record for Attendance
George Hahn, a rich tanner, with Of
fees at 33 Spruce street, New YORK
City. has been awarded the blue rib
bon for attedance at the theaters dur
ing the season just ended. Mr.. Ham
Is the champion theater-goer OF the
year-a committee from the Theatrl-
cal Treasurers' Association has so de-
cided, according to the New York Tel
egraph.
All previous records for calls at the
box Office have been totally eclipsed by
the smiling, good-natured Ham, whose
record Is appalling. 1t shows that No
has played musical pieces as faVorites'
although he has a fondness FOR tne
legitimate, and Is not averse to giving
fair share Of his patronage to SNAKE
speare. During the season he paid FOR
400 seats and fifty boxes at WeDers
Music Hall alone. The most carerul
research shows that he contributed the
price of more than 300 tickets to Lew
Fields theater and until the Casino was
closed by fire, he was piling up Dig
total at that house.
During the three weeks of the South
ern- Marlowe engagement at the Anlck-
erbocker Hahn purchased eighteen
pairs Of seats and was present himseH
on six occasions. Mrs Let1ngWell
Boots" Hahn saw fourteen times, but
his personal account book shows that
he expended $1O9 for tickets ut 'he
Lyceum Theater during the run OF
the piece.
"Fantana" also has proved magnet
to this patron Of musical comedy. He
lost track of his attendance after the
first three months Of the run, but be-
lIeves he had dropped into the Lyric
at least twenty times within that Pc
Rod. .
Hahn's right to the championship
belt was discovered after somewhat
heated argument at the last regular
meeting Of the Press Agents Associa-
ton regarding the attractive qualities
of the respective attractions represent
ed by those present.
The discussion grew warmer and
finally it was decided to leave the
award of the championship to com"
mittee Of theater treasurers. This COM
mittee has completed its Investigations
and declares that Hahn's record seems
80 overwhelming that they have de-
cided to vote him the blue ribbon.
In many Instances Hahn could not
personally use the tickets purchased by
him and they were given to friends
and employees. He admitted over the
telephone to a member of the commit
tee that he had been absent from the
theater only twice during the season,
and that on those occasions he was
detained elsewhere by pressing bust
ness engagements.

far more popular than last winter.
An original belt is made of wide
white satin ribbon, bordered with Per-

alI-day visit. Now, one can stand In

to drive to see her neighbOr.
Clubs are just as much Il success in
the country as in the cities. In this
community we have one, limited to
twenty-five members, switch covers
radius of thirteen miles. While every
member is not always present, we
keep up as good an average as In any
town club. We have splendid meet
lngs and a social hour afterward, with
refreshments. Once a year we hold
ladies' reception, at which we have
two or three guests according to the
size of the home in which we enter
tain. During the holidays we enter
tain our husbands and sweethcarts
with play or contest, followed by a
substantial supper. This club conttn-
ues to grow in interest and II for any
reason a member leaves the club, some
one else is willing and anxious to take
the vacancy. We have had topics,

year have taken American history all

Winter is when the farmer has most
time for recreation. Many pleasant
evenings may be spent with some
neighbor when they can play games
and have music and make an enjoya-

unto himself. Whenever he ceases to
associate with others he quits growing
