The Hasty Marriage Denied.
From the Atlanta Constitution.,
Yesterday the Constitution published an
interesting paragraph about a young lady of
Marietta, u Miss Gable, marrying a stranger
named Wilson. The story was told a Con
stitution reporter by the young lady’s cousin
night before last, and was of course accepted
as true, as he was in the city, he said, in
search of the young lady who he alleged
‘had left home.
Yesterday however another Mr. Gable, a
| brother of the Constitution’s informant who
lives in the city, stated that the report was
wholly false and that the Constitution’s in
formant must have been drinking. He
furnished the following card and asked that
it be published :
ArraNTA, April 17. —-Editors Counstitu
tion -My attention has been directed to an
article in to day’s Constitution in which a
false statement is made, and I hope you will
allow me space in your paper to correct it.
The article in question is the one in which
it is stated that a run-away marriage occur
red at Marietta last Friday between a Miss
Gable of that place and one Wilson, of Ac
worth. The young lady is now and has
been all the while with her parents, and
such an idea never entered her mind, as she
has never even heard of the man Wiison.
The report is absolutely without foundation
in fact and is as unjust as it is false. What
motive could have prompted such an infa
mous falseliood in the heartof the originator
we cannot even conjecture.

Eps. JourNaL—There is a neighborhoad in
Cobb in which a civil war is raging. The bat
tles are not fought with vuns and pistois. buat
with that mo-t dreadsd of all weapona, the sar
castic and back biting tongue. The cause
which lead to the rumpus was about this. A
fow weeks since, Mr. Snooksome heard that
some one else heard, that someb dy else said,
that some of the boys got on a little “bozee” and
plaved ‘five up” for the ‘drink” and the
“smell.” The first caunon had been fired, and
tha contest had begun. The prond Jasses were
off-nded, and ma e preparations for b-ttle,
The boys wished & consultation and sent in
their little trucss. bearing the inscription, “I
would be pleased to call,”” but the offended
lag=es disregardeld their truces, and tfired shot
after shot of “previous engagement” on them.
The boys. indiznaut at this treatment, retreat
ed ard adopted the following resolutions, * We
the undersigned do hereby pledge our sacred
honor, to pay $5 in cash, if we goto see a girl,
living in said place. before the first day of Sep
tember next so help us Betsy.” The victo
rious lasses declared the resolation unseless, as
they didu’t intend to give the boys opportunity
to break their pledges before September or
thereafier. All hop« of peace is lost. But we
would say to the opposing parties, ‘that if they
will meet in the gloamiug, on the biink of the
little rivulet, which flows near by, and with
ungloved hands and uupowdered faces, come
together with kisses sweet, the fair Juilets and

Until I fear 1 am half insane,

I could not make the “‘old thing gee,”’
And I gaeatly fear [ am ‘“‘a goner.”

Just go at once—do not delay--

We congratulate ourselves more and more
upon having determined to cater to the
tastes of the good people of Murietta and
Cobb county. We have every cause to fe
licitate ourselves on the number and the
quality of our customers, but like Oliver
Twist our cry is for *‘more.”” We want to
extend our trade to all who want good gro
ceries and who have the money to pay for
them. We have but one aim and that is to
make a living and to baild up an honest
trade. If we fail no one will be to blame
but ourselves ; but we shall not fail unless
we are badly mistaken. Come roundto our
store and get our prices before buying else
where. The town is large and the number
of merchants is legion and if our goods and
our prices don’t suit you, your chanee to
get a bargain isn't clean gone. We do not
propose to be undersold even if our profits
are thereby cut down. We believe that we
can sell as low as the lowest and still supply
our own modest personal wants. We in

The other noon as the owner of &
peanut stand at the Central Market
was making ready to go to diover he
called to the boy who was acting as
his clerk :
‘Henry, see here.’
‘Yes, sir.’
‘I am going to dioner, and you
will be left in charge here for an
hoar.’
‘Yes, sir.’
‘I bave unbounded confidence in
you, bat I have taken all the change
from the till except fifteen cents.
‘All right.’ i
*And while your honesty is above
question, I have also taken care to
measure the peanuts. There are
just siz quarts on the table.
‘Yes, sir.’
‘And while [ may say at the risk
of flattering you that [ would trust
you with every dollar I have, it is
my duty to warn you that [ have
asked the pop-corn man over there
to keep an eye on you and see that
you do not run off with the roaster.’
‘Yes, sir.’
‘Always be honest and upright,
Hlenry, and I may as well say right
here that [ shall count the peanuts
upon my return aod in that way dis~
cover if you have eaten avy, Now
then, assume a business air and take

SNAKES.
As many a§ 20,000 deaths occur
anoually in India from snake bites,
and since 1870 from 150 000 to
200,000 persons have perished in
this way. India possesses more
deadly snakes than soy other couns
try, aod the bite of the cobra is often
fatel within half an hour. In the
year 1880 212,776 serpents of all
kinds were destroyed, and rewards,
amounting in all to 11,663 rupees,
were paid to their destroyers. In
the northwest provinces and in Oude
body of Kanjars has been formed
for the especial purpose of killing off
the venomous reptiles of those dis
tricts. The men receive two rupees
per month, and if a man is so fortu
pate as to destroy more than twenty
snakes daring that period, he is paid
the equivalent of about three pence
per head for all in excess of that
number. In 1881 wild beasts caused
the death of 2,757 persons, as
agaiost 2,810 in 1880, and the num
ber of animals killed by them every
year is enormous. The leopards
are, perhaps, the farmers’ worst foes,
and the tigers rank next; but the
wolves are but little less destructive.
[n 1881 1,557 tigers and 3,397 leop
ards were killed.

NOT GOOD BAIT.
Steve Williams, an ex-convict,
and two other darkeys at Old Town,
Jeffarson county, concluded they
would try to catch some fish, They
had been fishing in a certain hole,
and having had good luck, they
thought they woald try a new cut
on the fish with dynamite. Steve
took the dynamite in his hand and
commenced to light the fuse with a
match, but the wind blew it oat, as
he thonght, the first match, and he
tried a second match on it. The
other two darkeys came to his assis--
tance with their hats to ward off the
wind. But while they were works
ing with the second match the first
‘took effect, and the cartridge of
‘dyoamite burst into a thousand pieces
Steve's left hand, in which he held
the cartridge, was entirely torn off,
and bis right hand was badly lacera
ted. One of the other men received
a severe flesh wound on the arm.
The third man was burt on one baod,
‘the course of the material passing
just over the back of bis hand.
;Dr. J M. Kelly amputated the left
arm of William bewteen the wrist
‘and the elbow and cut two fingers off
the right hand the wounds of the
other men were dressed. The
report of the explosion was heard
six or seven miles.
... The live merchant sells the best goods.
Time is money and the best merchant can’t 1
afford to waste time talking up an inferior
flour. Sell a flour which sells itself andl
builds up your business rather than draws
itback. ‘‘Mansfield’s Cream of the South’”
is the standard in this market and you can
recommend it with sa.ety. You make a‘
mistake when you put your customers oft
with any other flour. feb. § ,

Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by u sense of
weight in the back, loius and lower part of the
abdomen. causing the patient to suppose ha has
some affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present, as flatulency, uneasiness of the stom
ach, et¢. A moisture, like perspiration, pro
duacing a very disgreeable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed, is a very
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding aud|
Itching Piles yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remepp, which acts direct- '
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing the Tu-|
mors, allaying the intense itching, and effect |
ing a permanent cure, where all other reme
dies have failed. Do not delay until the drain
on the system produces permanent disability,
but try it and be cured. Y’rice, 50 cents. Sold
