Roads Bonds Won't Self.

A recent dispatch from Colum.
bus says: Efforts to sell the road
bonds amounting to $50 5000 fol
the construction of good roads in
District 4, of Lowndes county
have failed so far. The bonds
were first placed in the hands of a
Toledo firm for investigation and
it's attorney rejected the issue
on the grounds that the election,
or petitions asking for the cleo
ton for the issuance of the bonds
were not in conformity to law
The objection, however, was tech
nical.
Later the bonds were submitted
to the Hibernia Bank and Trust
Company of New Orleans, and the
attorneys of that institution re-
jected the issue on the same
grounds that the Toledo lawyers
based their opinion.
The unfortunate feature of the
matter is that since the election
carried for the issuance of the
bonds and it is very likely that
the issue would be defeated should
the question be again submitted
to a vote,

Mokine Life Worth Living.

A High Alma lofty aim does
not mean trying to do work above
your capacities. 1t is vastly bet
ter to be o success as q farmer
than a failure as a statesman, to
be a good house painter than to
paint daubts for pictures. The
slow aim" which the poet calls a
sscrimeu does not refer so much to
what we do as the way we do it,
Any worker whose chief thought
in his work is to get his pay at
the end of the week, is aiming low,
whether he writes poems or grows
potatoes.
The Kind of Thought. Give
YOUR best to each Of those who
come in contact with you. Do
not fancy that it is not worth
while to be entertaining with the
rather shy and silent guest. Do
not thilR that you must reserve
the thought which has uplifted
o for a more worthy listener
than the commonplace caller who
has dropped in for a ten minutes
talk about nothing. 1t is giving
Aof our best that draws out the
hest in Others, and fits us to give
more and better things.

Death OF Mr.. John E. Adams

Mr.. John Adams, one of the Oldest
citizens of the county, died at his home
five miles west of Macon Tuesday morn
ing. His death was sudden. A few
minutes before he passed away, he got
out of bed and warmed his feet at the
fire; on getting back he asked his son
Searcy to tuck the cover under him
that he thought he could go aleep. AS
he stretched out in bed he gave a gasp,
and passed away. Mr.. Adams was
more than seventy years of age and
was born close to the home in which he
died. The interment took place Thurs
day morning at the Salem graveyard, a
large number of friends from over the

notice will be published next week.
