the same is hereby repealed and the
following enacted in lieu thereof:
THE township trustees shall have
all the main travelled roads, includ-
ing mail routes, in their townships
dragged at such time as in their
judgment is most beneficial, and they
shall contract at their April meeting

ged at rate of not to exceed fifty
cents per mile for each mile travelled
in dragging. In choice of persons
to do the work or in making con-
tracts to do such work, preference
shall be given, other things being
equal, to the occupants of the land

The Clothes that Real Men Wear
Here quality Reigns Supreme

Are you keeping to the front? Are you
progressing or are you retrogradingp Think
it over. Are you thinking about the vital
points. Are you sure you are not, too much
influenced by big spread advertisements
Get right down and think. Think of the
important matters in made order tailor
ing, think of the needle and the shears and
the men behind them are real tailors; think
of the designer, who is he, a trained artist
or an ordinary cutter? Think of the men
who manage the business are the advertis-
ing experts; think of the inside of your
coats, the hair cloth, canvas and wadding-
these are the lungs, lights and liver, are
they strong and healthy9 Thing of these.
When you pay for your suit, get the real
article, don't under any circumstances have
fancy picture in your minds eye and Slip
Shod suit on your back or one of a job lot.

it's the rogues who have driven the honest
men to guarantee their goods-the rogues
use the word and should be restrained or
punished for doing it.

interesting session at the city hall
last Tuesday. Capt. Carney and Capt.
Alf. Aver gave echoes of the brigade
meeting last week and considerable
interest was manifested in the new
pension law, but no one present had
copy of the new bill, so no one knew
just what changes have been made. 1t
was, however, the opinion of those
present that the old soldiers had had
d bad shaking up" There were
quite a large number present, among
others Commander Graham and Briga-
der General Long.

DEATH OF Mr.. w. n. MooRE'S
MOTHER

Mr.. w. H. Moore, living near Red
dick, formerly bookkeeper for the
Ocala Iron Works, received yesterday
the unfortunate tidings of his moth
er's death, which occurred at Birming-
ham. Ala. on Monday morning.
Mrs. Mary Poe Moore was herself
a very noted womal- and came of a
distinguished family. She was the
daughter of Hon. Washington Poe, for
many years one of Georgia's foemost
lawyers, and was closely related to
the great poet, Edgar Allen Poe. She
was the widow of Judge William H.
Moore of Huntsville, Ala.
Mrs Moore was born at Macon, Ga,
January 10, 1886. She is survived by
seven children, of whom Mr.. w. H.
Moore is the eldest and only son.
One of Ter daughters, Miss Mary
Moore, is president of Athens College,
Ala, and has made her name distin-
guished among the educators of the
country.
Mrs. Moore was for many years a
consecrated member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, and a firm
believer in the sure mercies of Da-
vid." She truly lived for her children
and she thought no sacrifice too great
for their comfort and happiness.
She was blessed by having some of
her children and grandchildren by her
bedside as her soul passed through the
valley of the shadow of death.
The sympathy of this paper goes
out to Mr.. Moore in his affection.
He attended the funeral, which
took place Wednesday afternoon at
Huntsville, Ala.
