Several miles of finely graded road has been made and is ready for the gravel The roadbcd meets the approval of all who have passed over it, and if nothing more was done tine money would have been wisely spent It is the purpose of the commission to build each of the 10 roads leading into Athens five miles each from the court square, and then to go as much further as the money will allow, but each is to be built five miles before any further extension is made. This will mean 50 miles of first class pike roads for the county if noth- ing more.

An Eccentric Genius.

Among the genluses none perhaps

who dyed his hair green. tried to stran-
gle his father-in-law, used opium, to-
bacco and wine to excess and enjoyed
perverted olfactory sensations. my
soul scars upon perfumes as the souls
of other men soar upon music" he
wrote But what pleased him, strange
ly, were odors OF putrefaction, vie
smells which other men abhorred and
the stenches OF disease which made
others sick. And yet his poetry is
among the most passionately musical
Of the literature OF France. He was
exceedingly superstitious, believing he
would not succeed In an undertaking
unless he left a house first with the
left foot, and would count the number
of gas jets along the streets, the num-
bers of cabs and numbers OF doors
Adding these figures In his mind, he
would consider the result an omen

seven reassuring, while bis bad num-
Der was seventeen. Curiously, once he
was thrown out of cab. the figures of
