Many of the side roads which have never been clayed, are admirable, the pebbly soil being a fine natural road material. The county commissioners. Chairman w. h. Branch.

For a while after tne curtain went up they smiled and nodded knowingly at each other, nudging one another as some familiar passage presented itself; but finally they aettled into a rapt attention, which allowed no smallest detail to escape.

He has announced tor position of county treasurer. Mr. Roaser's platform Is very brief.

To prove his. willingness, he states, to "repay the people for their support" he offers to contribute half of his commissions to the white churches of the county. His latest card to the voters is as follows: 'To the Good People of Clayton County: In my campaign for the nomination for the office of treasurer, it shall hot be my purpose to criticise or decry any of the several worthy gentlemen who art my opponents. It is only my purpose to endeavor, to Impress upon your minds the worthiness of my candidacy to the extent that I may merit and receive your votes and influence. In doing this, I know of no better way to convince you of ray willingness to repay you ror your support than to reproduce ray formal an' nouncement, in which there is a solemn pledge to share with the people the pay to be received from the office by donating one half to the white cnurcnes or the county.

Read it carefully and consider It fairly. I bellevt you will then honor me with your support "My announcement Is as follows; "1 hereby announce to my fellow citizens of Clayton county that I a candidate for the offloe of treasu subject to whatever action may taken by the democratic party. If I am honored with election, I pledge my 1 self to do my best to serve the count 1 satisfactorily and also to donate one half of the commissions derived from the office to the white churches of the county, all denominations to share in just ana lair proportion.
