} —Melvin Lacy, aged 17 years, son of Mr.
Joseph Lacy, Esq., was attacked by an al
leged mad dog one day last week. Young
Lacy first tried to throw him off but the dog
seemed determined and renewed the attack.
Young Lacy then grasped the dog by the
throat and pressed him to the ground and
held him until a man came with an axe and
cut off the dog's shead. Young Lacy was
bitten on his right thumb and left wrist. He
is under treatment by Dr. George W. Smith.
He is also trying the efficacy of Col. Ed

—The Western and Atlantic Rail Road
has every engine owned by them in daily
use, except one, transporting freight from
Chattanooga to Atlanta, as much as 215 and
240 loaded cars per day going over the line.
This don't lock like the East Tenn. Va. &
Ga. Railroad had injured the State Road
and that it had depreciated in value. On
the contrary it shows it has all the business
it can safely do, and the volume is increas
ing. And yet some people raise the cry of
sell the road while the lease still has seven
years to 'run. ‘
—Tuesday two boys about 15 or 16 years
of age got off the noon train that goes to
Atlanta, and proceeded to walk toward that
city. Conductor Dick Hargis said that they
got on his train at Boyce Station, Tenn.,
and had tickets to Atlanta. At Kennesaw
they asked him how many times the train
stopped between there and Atlanta. When
he told them Marietta was the last stopping
place, they said they would get off there.
They were well-dressed and evidently from
some city. The last seen they were walk
ing down the Railroad track toward Atlaa
ta, each with a grip sack in his hand.
—Senator “Joe” Brown is the ruling spir
it of the State railroad in Georgia. He was
being hauled over it one day in his special
car when the conductor came to him with a
long face and informed him that a drunken
man was aboard and he didn't know what to
do with him. “Where does he wish to go ?”
asked the Senator, in his quiet, easy way.
“He says he wants to go to h—l" said the
man of the bell rope. “Oh, well,” replied
Mr. Brown, “put him off at Cartersville.”
And the town has never recovered from the
joke.
—Some of the Murietta boys who learned
their trades in the Marietta JournawL office

MILLO MAIZE AGAIN.
MarieTTA, Feb. 9, 1885,
Messks. NearL & Massey-—Editors: I am
loth to believe that a gentleman’s word may
be doubted when he makes statements
which appear (but only so) to run against
preconceived notions, but I was informed
that such was likely to be the case, by per
sons who are paying $24 a ton for hay, while
I'am feeding my stock with Millo canes,
which cost me little or nothing. So rather
than back out from trying to help my fel
lows to something which will blot out Zthat
terrible word “forage;” 1 got the enclosed
“backing,” which, if of interest, you may
publish. Yours, G. W. Bexson.
The undersigned visited Mr. Geo. W. Ben
son’s home for the purpose of looking into
statements about Millo Maize. We exam
‘ined his stock, seven head of cattle and
three horses, and they were in good order
and evidenced good keeping through the
winter. His large barn loft was filled with
hay and other forage, which evidently had
not been touched for feed. Indeed, we saw
two bales of which Mr. Bensen's man told us
was bought last September, and that he had
had no cal} to use them nor any of the hay,
or else in the barn since the first day of No
vember, at which time he commenced feed
ing the stock with Millo canes and has fed
only those for roughness since that day and
thinks he has enough of the canes to feed
until the middle of April.
We examined the canes and they appear
to be us fresh and sweet, almost juicy, as
when they were put by last October.
We also ate light bread and bread made
like corn bread of Millo-middlings, which
was excellent, and the milk from the cows
was also very good. J. R. WiNTERS,
W. M. Sessions,
Marietta, Feb. 7,’85. Jas. G. HucHes.
Upsuaw, Ga., Feb, 4, 1885,
Mg. G. W. Bexson—Dear Sir: Pressing
engagements have prevented my writing you
earlier in relation to the cooking of the
Millo Maize meal you gave me. I had it
made into batter-cakes and was delighted
with them. My whole family liked them
very much.
I also tendered the stalks to my mules
They took hold of it readily and showed they
were fond of it. |
I had an interview a few days ago with
Prof. F. M. Duncan, of Dallas, in relation
to his experience with the same plant. He
says he saved 15 bushels of good seed from
one-fourth of an acre. He let it stand in
the field till after the first frost and then cut
off the heads and packed away in his barn.
The seed has kept well and is now in good
condition,
I think cultivation of this plant is des
tined to be of great benefit to this country.
It will be an important addition to our ce
real and forage crops. Yours,
L D. Ursnaw.

The Sham and the Real.
Every good thing has its host of imitators;
every genuine article its counterfeits. Bad
manners and wicked habits have theirs also;
but he who shams the bad never boasts of it,
while they who ape the virtues of the good
or simulate the genuine never hesitate to
Flace the counterfeit before the pub
ic in their most alluring tones. “Phen
these people imitate they always choose a
pronounced type or pogular subject to copy
from; and when they claim to be as good as
“So-and-8o,” or to sell an article equal to
“So-and-So,” the public may depend upon
it that Mr. “So-and-So” and "his article are
always the best of the kind. Thus the sham
is always proving the genuine merit of the
thing it copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen produce
aud popularize an article of household use,
such as the Royal Baking Powder, whose
convenience, usefulness, and real merit
make for itself an immense and universal
sale. A hundred imitators arise on every
hand, and as they hold out their sham arti
cles to the public, yelp in chorus, “Buy this;
it's just as goo(f as Royal, and "much
cheaper!” The Royal Baking Powder is“
the standard the world over, and its imita
tors in their cry that theirs is “as good as
Royal” are all the time emphasizing this
fact. In their laborious attempts to show
by analysis and otherwise that the “Snow
ball” brand has as much raising power “as
‘the Royal,” or that the “Ressurrection”
‘powder is as wholesome “as Royal;” or that
the “Karthquake” brand is “as “pure as the
Royal,” as well as by their contortive twist
ings of chemical certificates and labored ef
forts to obtain recognition from the Govern
ment chemists and prominent scientists
who have certified the superiority of Royal
over all others, they all admit the “Royal”
to be the acme of perfection, which it is
their highest ambition to imitate. But the
difference between the real and these imi
tations, which copy only its general appear
ance, is as wide as that between the paste
and the true diamond. The shams all pay
homage to the “Royal.”

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER.
To All Wanting Employment.
We want Live, Energetic and Capable Agents in
every county in the United States and Canada, to
sell a patent article of great merit, ON 178 MERITS,
An article baving a large sale, paying over 100 per
cent. profit, having no competition, and on which
the agent is protected in the exclusive sale by a
deed given for each and every county he may secure
from us. With all these advantages to our agents,
and the fact that it is an article that can be sold to
every houscowner, it might not be necessary to
make an “EXTRAORDINARY OFFER"” to secure good
agents at once, but we have concluded to make it to
show, not only our confidence in the merits of our
invention, Lut ih its salability by any agent that
will handle it with em-r%. Our agents now at
work are making from $l5O to 8600 a wmonth clear.

to all who are out of employment. Any agent that
will give our business a thirty days’ trial and fail to
clear at least $lOO in this time, ABOVE ALL EXPENS
ES can return all goods unsold o us and we will re

eral agent who would like ten or more counties and
work them through sub-agents for ninety days, and
fail to clear at least $750 ABOVE ALL KEXPENSES, can
return all unsold and get their money back., No
other employer of agents ever dared to make such
