If the momeers of the legislaturo could bo carried over some of the rough roads that are now to be found in every county in the Piod mont section, if they could be carried in the ordinary wagons and buggies used for transporta tion in this section and thereby become experimelentally acquainted with the eon(litions that obtain with us now, wo would have no anxiety as to futuro Iogisiation on the road question. Compromises Would bo spoodily ellcted through which low country represettit ives would yield to the obvious necessi tv of a law that couldl be made to apply most broadly where such latp plication is most needed. Consti tutional restrictions surely 'an be circulventod in at case like this. I1 we don't get. a more eli-etivo road law, and that right early, the peo will take to the woods. 110MER ALONZO RICHIEY. Pickens wats shocked last Thurs. (lay morning when peopl( awoke to learn the sad intelligence of the death of homer Rickey, one of the most promising young men of the towi, which occurred the night before. lie was at young mnan whose qualities marked him for a life of usefulness. By his courteous and manly bearing through tho brief span of years in which h was por m11itted to meet with his I'ollowmen and impress his charae ter upon them, he won the esteem of men and made of every acquaintance a friend, It is always with heavy grief that we come to the task of speaking of a departed frieid, but it is indeed a sad duty to record the fact of death when the Reaper Comes and takes from our midst one0 so young-sQ full of hope and jiust coming into years of ripe manhood and usefulniess-one who was the soul of honor--a voungl man whose life,was full. of promise. His death is a lesson to us all the remembrance of his life, so un selfish and so true to the duties of life, may help other men to main. tain in all theiu walks that high Ieg att for the obligations that rest uipon each of us, without due ob servance of which woe may never hope to reap the reward of the jiust. Tji. his stricken family the boart felt sympathy of the whole communn flity goes. Theirs is indeed a loss in which the whole community shares. 0 MiSCELLANEOUS. * A1 R. CRAIO.
