THEIR VISIT TO TOWN.
An Interesting Recital of
the “Sights,”
“Just walk in, sister Polly, and I'll tell
you all about Josiah and me going to town.
Guess you have heard about it though, for it
has been the neighborhood talk since we got
back; naturally so, too. You see, Josiah
and I had been laying off first pretty day ‘
when we could open the potato bed, to carry |
along aload of potatoes, eggs, butter and
such like; so, when the sun had fairly got
up, we were trotting along several miles on
our way. As luck would have it, (you
needn’t tell me there's nufliiug in luek), we
drove right ul') ;'fn fr(nnfv()f:b.'::f'(;re. where we
could see goods all piled up, and soon as
Josiah could hitch old Selim, we marched
right in; not in either, till we had taken a
good look at the things heaped up in the
windows. I saysto Josiah in a minute:
‘This is the very place, for there was every
thing—Glasslamps, (we had kinder promis
ed one to our Jane), Sunday Shoes, Work
ing Shoes, Apples, Oranges, Raisins, Cur
rants, (you know, I always was some on cur
rant pudding,) but I can’t begin to tell you
what was in the windows even. They asked
us in and we walked down one side of that
store and just took in—there was Tobacco,
Cigars, Pipes, Smla,. Baking Powders, Per
fumery, Tea, Sacks of Coffee, whole Cheese,
Boxes of Crackers, Boxes of Soap, and then
in the middle was tins, all kinds of Coffee
Pots. Big Pans, and every other little trick
you ever heard of on what they call nickle
and ten cent counters. No dull times there
I cantell you. Jeans piled up as high as
your head, good at 25cts. Nouse going to
Atlanta or John Keely's. We then walked
over on the other side of the store, and there
was Crockery, all kinds and sizes of Plates,
Cups and Saucers, white and them old time
like my old mother use to have in our old
corner cup-board. Then they have what
they call a chamber set, bowl and pitchers,
tooth brush holder, soap slab, mug, and such
piles of Boots and Shoes. Well, we looked
around, and I sayssorter aside, We'll see what
we can do out in town. So Josiah says to
the man standing by the store, ‘We will see
what we can do,’ but you needn’t think it
took uslong to take in the situation, and
after walking around the park and pricing
around, we went back to where we had
hitched old Selsm, and there sold our pro
duce, got the money forit, and set in and
bought everything right there, and so would 1
you have did the same thing, for there was 1
everything we wanted, Flour, Corn, Bacon, |
Hams, Sugar, barrels of it, and Syrup of all
kinds. They had jrst been unloading t:wo
car loads of Timothy Hay; such piles of
Bran. Well, I reckon we was the best
pleased old couple you ever saw start home.
Shoes and Hats for all the boys, not only the
Lamp we had promised our Jane, but one
for the boys, as we got both at what we ex
pected to pay for one; but I ain't took time
to tell you what store it was, but you must
have guessed it was I): F. McCrareuy's,
You know how he is always talking so much
in the Jour~Nau, yet he don'ttell half, Well,
nobody could in one column of a newspaper,
but you and your old man had better go and
lookout for yourselves, and if you ain't more
than pleased, I'll give it up.”
DON'T FORGET THE PLACE!

~The impulse to better one’s condition is
the leaven always at work in the human
race. To the energies born of this impulse
is due all the substantial progress of man
kind. No other country in the world offers

forests, streams, in manufacturing and com
merce, banking and transportation, awaiting
only intelligent development,

move to a milder climate. Chas. M. Bassett
writes tous from Minneapolis, Minnesota,
Feb. 12th, as follows : “Please send me a
sample copy of your paper, I think of com
ing either to Northern Georgia or Alabama

ed and went on to state that one Ed. John
son, of Cobb county had appeared before
the United States Commissioner and on oath
testified that he had been prevented as a
witness in swearing in the United States
Court, by the actibn of said Jack Morris,
It was all news to Morris, and he went with
the officer to Atlanta, but returned that even
ing, his case being put off until the 19th.
From what we can learn this fellow Ed.
Johuson has given several citizens of Cobb
county a good deal of trouble by just such
trifling accusations as he has made against
Moiris.,
—Dr. W. K. Root, the Coroner of this
county, was summoned in great haste by a

that a colored woman named Frances
Triplett was found dead in her bed

as to the cause of ler death it was necessary
to hold an inquest as she died suddenly, Af

home at this place on last Thursday morn
ing. Hs bad been complaining a day or

of Mr. H. B. Wallace, of this place, and
leaves a wife and three boys. His funeral

ing. The remains of the deceased were in

—Capt. Hughes' name was the first on the
list of subscribers to “Housekeeping in the
Sunny South.” He said he gave it for good
luck, and it has come in the shape of a rap
idly accumulating fortune,
—Men are not necessarily energetic be
cause they are active, stirving, and industri
ous. Many a man has lived a life of unflag
ging industry, has always been prudent and
economical and yet old age found him poor,
and he casts all the blame on fate, and says
it is against him. Such a man has been
very active, but his activity was misdirected.
In life what one does must count, or it had
better be left undone. Energy is activity
proportioned to the end. A truly energetic
man thinks, directs and executes correctly,
and what he does is done at the right time,
and in the right way.
—One of our most upright and public
spirited citizens was in our office the other
day, and after renewing his subscription to
the Jourxar, counted up $25 that he paid
out annually for newspapers and magazines.
Such men always make good citizens. There
are men who take no paper. Every head of
a family should subscribe to some newspa
per. The outlay 1s a trifle, and the fund of
general intelligence and entertainment re
ceived in return is the largest and most val
uable one can possibly derive from so small
an expenditure of time and money.
—When you get your marriage license
from Judge Hammett go right straight and
buy a copy of “Housekeeping in the Sunny
South.” The congratulations of friends, all
the slippers of rice thrown at your bride, all
the horse shoes that you can hang about
your walls will not bring good luck if she
cannot cook.

—The young ladies had a most delightful

last Tuesday evening, complimentary to the
engaged couples. The menu was just ele

played in arranging for the different courses
as they were served by the beautiful waiters,
can only be appreciated by those present.
After the sumptuous feast the dining room
was cleared out and a number of couples
whirled to the strains of the beautiful waltz.
A pleasing feature of the entertainment was
the beautiful vocal solos and instrumental
duets. Although the night was very threat
ening a large number were present and all
were loth to leave when the finger of time
announced the hour of midnight and the be

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
—A somewhat romantic marriage took

Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Miss Mag

We wish the happy couple a rosy future.
GULLING THE COLORED FOLKS.
~—The colored people of Marietta have
had a genuine sensation this week and have
had their excitable natures worked up con
siderable over a story told by an itinerant
negro woman calling herself the “Wonderful
Mollie Young.” She lectured here Monday
nightand claims to have been stolenin Louis
ville, Ky., when a child, earried to Cuba and
sold into slavery, after 20 years of servitude
escaped five months ago, and while swim
ming from Cuba to Hayti, 21 miles, was
shot seven times by Cuban soldiers, when
returning to consciousness found herself in
a strange place cared for and fed by “mer
maids,” where she remained four months,
She tells horrible tales of Caban slave-life—
plowed in harness like horses, whipped and
rubbed down with salt daily, going without
clothing, and fed on dogs, cats and cotton
seed meal. She charges ten cents to hear
this thrilling lecture and 25¢ts for her bio
grophical sketch. And strange to say some
of the gullible colored folks beiieve this in
consistent narrator.
ROSWELL.
—On Friday afternoon last, during the
snow-siorm, about four miles above Roswell,
Mr. Cobb Evans was accidentally killed by
a falling tree. He had eut an oak, which
lodged against a maple sapling. He then
stuck his ax into the maple near the ground,
which, being frozen, split, and springing out
suddenly, knocked his feet from under him,
and before he could recover himself, the oak
fell across him and mashed him int 6 the
ground. They sent to Roswell for Dr. Greer
but he died in half an hour, before the doc

What a terrible affliction about the house
is & cross, erying baby? A young man on
the very edge of matrimony might easily be
frightened from his purpose by having too
much of that sort of music at the homes of
his married friends. Yet babies cry com
monly only when they are sick. One tea
spoonful of Parker's Tonic, given the little
one, will bring rest and sleep to the baby
and all in the house. Only 50 cents, at
druggists.

and beauty.
