The Fish That Get Away.

Nsv0hshed in the old Ohio
When a freckled, barefoot boy,
Pulled casts from the hole
With a hickory pole
And carried them home with joy.
Hut among the cats, both large and
small,
That hooked in my byCone day
The cat that l wanted most of al
Was the one that got away
I've tossed the lively sinner
With rod of supple steel
Where lie the bass
BY the floating grass
And brought them in with the reel,
But of all the bass ever caught
None was SO large and fine,
None sent the blood through my veins so
hot,
AS the bass that broke my line.
streams
And have cast for speckled trout,
Have found the fly
That took their eye
And lured the beauties out,
But of all of the trout that ever rise
From many a teeming brook
None loom so large in memorv's eyes
AS the ones that slip the hooH.
So runs the world. Our wisest words
Are the words we fail to speak:
The sweetest kiss
II the one we miss:
The sweetest grapes we seek
Hang just too high. and we long and
look
And sigh as we sadly say
The best of the Ash that come to our
Are the fish that get away

people of each road district are in a
large measure responsible for the con-
dition of the county roads in their
particular districts, and there are in
stances where prejudice, factional feel
Ing and desire to stand in" with the
road boss" are the dominating influ-
ences which turn these elections. This
should not be. Every voter should
make his selection from the standpoint
OF who will give the most intelligent
and conscientious service. regardless of
his personal feelings toward the can
didates. The virtue of the theory of
democratic government is put to the
test in these small matters. and Its
results reflect the intelligence of To-
cal communities. These elections are
Of more importance than the public
generally realize. Every person inter-
ested should attend them and vote for
the men who will do this work intelli-
gently and thoroughly.

NEGROES in the vicinity OF Macon,
Ga, are using every possible means to
get into the county Jail, since it became
known recently that two negroes who
were confined in the Jail six months were
almost white when they were taken out.
Il is explained that the damp condition
of the Jail. which has been condemned,
Is the cause for the bleaching. When
the news got around the negroes began
pleading guilty to crap-shoOting, even
before they were questioned about 1t.
The sheriff let 10 come in and then
said: PPM on to you, and if you want
to get beached out you'll have to use

no yestige Of dampness is apparent in
the Alexandria Jail, as the tricks of the
Macon blacks might be initiated by their
