not held last Monday, owing to
proyidential interposition in the
family>of Judge Edwards. We are
reminded in this connection of the
worthy record Of our venerable JUDGE
Ordinary, who, in the long years Of
bis tenancy Of the Office, has rarely
ever failed to promptly hold his
courts.
Mr.. w. w, Hooks, ST., was in
the city Saturday and that fine crop
makes his face wreathe all over in
smiles whenever you mention it, and
we are glad to see him doing well.
AS we passed Adams we made our
obeisance to Charlie Scarborough
through the window of the car and
such smile Of happiness as lighted
up his countenance, and all on &C.
count Of that new companion.
The new steel bridge across Kin
chafoonee creek is fast nearing COM
pletion and the citizens Of a large
portion OF the county congratulate
the commissioners on their good
work. In q very few days it will be

Post Office Inspectors have made
a careful survey Of a new rural
route starting at Leesburg and going
south a distance, then east to the
district line between the first and
second districts, then north to
Starkvi3le and on to the old Gill
bridge across MuckaIoochee, thence
south to the Starkville and Dawson
road, thence west to the old Webster
site, thence S. e. through the Gard
ner place to Leesbulg, This is a
long felt want in our rural delivery
system. and we hope will be put in
operation to the delight Of the great
number Of citizens now deprived
Of it.
So much open cotton as is now to
to be seen on all hands and wherever
you 60 is something remarkable and
not u'ual. On every side you turn,
there is a want OF Gotten piekers.
The rains have been very frequent
in some parts Of tlle county and in
others a scarcely exists. There
seems to be concerted effort to get
the present crop Of cotton at low
and inadequate price and we trust
that the efforts being put forth, now,
by the leaders in the agricultural
world, and especially by the Al
lance, will prove abundantEy Sne-
cessful. We are tempted to print
some figures about the small per
cent. that is left to the farmer after
the middle men have finished raid
ing it. 1t is enough to make the
blood boil to see how they are filched
of their hard earnings, by those
that toll not neither do they spin,
but plan, oh my!
The Board of County Commits
sioners met with q full board on
their regular day last Tuesday. The

one, at which number attended on
business bent. Messrs. T. M. Tick
nor and Robertson, Of The Ga. Farm
Machinery Co., and others, were in

ing bonds and calling an election for
the same were discussed and argued,
after the presentation Of petitions
therefor by Mr.. d. j. Ragan and
others. The matter was referred

is up, the columns If the Journal
are open for the discussion Of the
important question by the people,
in short to-the-pOint articles.
Elsewhere in this number viii be
found the notice Of tax levy for this
year and it is Of interest to every
citizen in the county.
