THEIR VISIT TG TOWN.
An Interesting Recital of
the “Sights,”
“Just walk in, sister Polly, and Tl 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, e;z,1.:5,l 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 nothing in luck), we
d‘l_-:)ve right up in front of a store 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. [ 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, Raising, 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 Tolhacco,
Cigars, Pipes, Soda, Baking Powders, Per
fumery, Tea, Sacks of Coflee, whole Cheese,
Boxes of Crackers,l 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 ot on what they call nickle
and ten cent counters. No dull times there
I can tell you. Jeans piled up as high as
your head, good at 25cts. No use 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 T 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 pri(:in;:‘
around, we went back to where we had
hitched old Selim, and there sold our pro
duce, got the money forit, and set in and
bought everything right there, and so would
you have did the same thing, for there was
everytlfing we wanted, Flour, Corn, Bacon,
Hams, Sugar, barrels of it, and Syrup of all
kinds. They had just been unloading two
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
Lm‘n‘p we had promised our Jane, but one
for the boys, as we got both at what we ex
pected to pay for oue; but I ain't took time
to tell you what store it was, but you must
have guessed it was D, I - McCrareny's.
You know how he is always talking so much
in the Joveyar, yet he don’t tell haif. Well,
nobody eould in one ecolumn of a newspaper,
but you and your old man had hetter go and
lookout for yourselves, and if you ain't more
than pleascd, 'l give it up.”

of'this is that the hard weather breaks up the
ground thorouzhly for the coming erops.
We may, therefore, base our plans upon
good erops this fall.

We said in our last issue it was a “trifling
accusation,” and so it has turned out to be.
—Some of the farmers of this county are
not selt-sustaining, or they would not have
to buy each year corn, flour and meat. A
self-sustaining farmer has all these things to

planting and devote themselves to diversity

to sell and ready cash.

residence on his Hooper farm and moved in
to hi< new quarters last week.

greeable a day as we have had in a long
time. The rain froze on the trees until
some of the limbs bent to the ground under
the weight of the icicles, some limbs break

some extent suffered injury from this cause,
A large tree in the park was uprooted and
fell to the ground under the weight of iey
jewels.

Marshal charged with intimidation. He had
several days before had a difficulty with a
revenue pimp who was abusing him, and
perhaps struck the pimp. On being carried
to Atlanta six ereditable witnesses testified
to state of facts showing that Mr. Arnold was
not guilty of the charge, while two witnesses,
the pimp's wife and hrother, who were not
present, swore to a different state of things.
Commissioner Counally bound Mr. Arnold
over on this festimony. Shame, shame on
the dirty dog.-—Milton Democrat.
—A young man went to a farmer’s house
a few miles from town to spend the evening
with the farmer’s charming daughter. His
horse was unhitched and fastened sceurely
in the stable. The young man lingered
long and late and left the presence of the
young lady with the remark that as soon as
Le hitched up his horse, he would return and
kiss her good night. While getting his horse,
the mother of the young lady got up and
drove her off to bed. The mother stood by
the fire warming herself, when in rughed the
young man and in great haste kissed the
old lady. He soon found out his mistake
when the old lady made at him with the
shovel, ;

’ —Our Marietta merchants have paid higher
prices for cotton this past season than has
Ihw»n paid in any place in Georgia. Our
;furmvl's have been the recipients of this
great benefit in hard cash, Now, to keep
these merchents in business and not force
them to close out, it is very necessary that
they should receive the patronage of our
farmers in the purchase of guanos and sup
plies. To combine as clubs and send off to
distant markets for goods of any kind is to
dwarf the commercial prosperity of home
merchants and carry money to pockets of
strangers who never do anything to build up
our town and county. Our merchants should
have a rersonable profit on their goods and
our people should be willing to pay it
There are risks and losses in all business,
Stand by home and home people. Many a
man has received friendly accommodations
from our home merchants that he couldn't

A HORSE THIEF ARRESTED.
On Wednesday night of last week, Mar
shal W. P. Stephens arrested, at Mrs. Cook’s
boarding house in this place, a man named
Lee Garland, who had stolen a sorrel mare
from Mr. R. F. McDonald at Darwin, Rhea
county, Tenn., on the sth inst. Garland
sold the mare, worth $125.00, to a Mr.
Hames, near Cleveland, Tenn., for $30.00,
and then went on to Atlanta and passed un
der the name of Davis. On Wednesday he
hoarded the train for Marietta and formed
the acquaintance of a Mr. Rogers, who was
reading the Chattanooga Times, in which
was an article giving a deseription of a horse
thief. Mr. Rogers was a resident of Rhea
county and knew Mr. MeDonald, the owner
of the stolen mage. Davis, alias Garland,
claimed to be a resident also of Rhea county.
Mr. Rogers knew nothing of him, but became
thoroughly impressed with the fact that
Garland alias Davis filled the deseription of
the man who had stolen his neighbor Mr.
McDonald's mare. Rogers and Garland
both got off at Marietta and hoth pat up at
Mrs. Cook’s boarding house. Mr. Rogers
hunted up Marshal Stephens and imparted
to him his suspicions and what information
he had gleaned. Mr. Stephens went to Mrs.
Cook’s and arrested Garland and charged
him directly as being the party who had
stolen the mare in Rhea county, Tenn. Gar
land was so badly confused that he acknowl
edged his guilt. He told where and to
whom he had sold the animal. Mr. Steph
ens telegraphed to Mr. McDonald of the ar
rest of Garland and where he could find the
stolen mare. Next day Mr. Stephens car
ried the eriminal, (who consented to go with
out a requisition on the Governor,) to Ten
nessee and turned him over to the proper
authorities, and was rewarded for his trouble
and expense. The mare was recovered by
Mr. McDonald. Garland says his home is
in Fannin county, Ga. He is about 22
years old and is not very adroit in his meth
ods.
GEORGIA MARBLE FACTORY.
The Constitution says: Mr. Siddalls is
largely interested in the Georgia Marble
Cowmpany, and with Mr. Clements, the pres
ident, has heen in Georgia for the week.
Mr. Clements says: “We signed last week
a contract with the Ameriean Marble cut
ting company, (Mr. R. M. Pulsifer, of the
Boston Herald,presidsnt) by which they bind
themselves to take not less than three cars,
or more than fifteen cars a day of our mar
ble, delivered at their factory in Marietta,
“This is & big contract?”’
“Yes. If they fill only the lowest limit of
their contract, three cars a day, that will
be $lOO,OOO a year of raw marble taken
out of our quarries for one firm. I have no
doubt that this year they will average five
ears aday. We have large orders of course,
outside of this"”
The establisement of the cutting factory in
Marietta will give that charming city quite a
bhoom. A force of forty skilled workmen,
with their famiilies, will be brought down to
begin with, and over & hundred men will
find caployment. Mr. George R. Fager
will be in charge.
Mr. Clements insists that the North Geor
gia marble is the finest in the world, He
has just cut a counter for the Kimball house
sixteen feet in length and four feet hroad |
out of one solid block. He says: “We
could supply a flawless marble column eighty ‘\
feet long and five feet in diameter. A hun- }
dred. years from to day the quarries will
have been barely touched. The supply of
marble of surpassing quality and of cvery‘
shade of color is simply exhaustless.”
THE STRANGE FORCE.
A Marietta Girl Hurls Men and Chairs About.
These latter years have developed many
wonderful things and have been strangely
out of joint. Theelements have been at times
in great commotion, producing eyclones and
playing havoc with terrestrial objects, while
“mother earth” has been disturbed and shak
en with earthquakes by the hidden forees of
nature. Here and there persons have been
infused with a wonderful power, partaking
of the supernatural, who by their simple
“laying on of hands” have hurled men and
'things about with irresistible force. Such
force has been largely demonstrated in the
person of Miss Lulu Hurst, the Polk county,
Ga., clectro-magnetic girl, or whatever you
are a mind to call her. This force has de
fied all laws of grml'i.tntinfi, logic and reason
and remains an unsolved mystery.
Therefore, when it was announced on our
streets that a Marietta young lady had devel.
oped this strange foree, we had an anxiety
to call and witness a display of it. It was
our pleasure, in company with several of our
citizens, of both sexes, to call on Miss Ma
mie Simpson at the residence of her mother,
on Cherckee street, on last Monday after
noon. A cordial recepntion greeted us, and
we found ourselves ushered into the pres
ence of the “new wonder.” Miss Mamie
Simpson is the daughter of the late lament
ed Judge A. N. Simpson, and is about six
teen years old, weighing 105 pounds, has
dark hair and sparkling black eyes, with
cheeks as rosy as the blush of aurora. She
is a very timid and modest young lady, and
was somewhat agitated in the demonstra
tions of her unaccountable power.
The firsc test was a gentleman trying to
hold a chair, embraced tightly, and as 1t was
about to go through a window, he had to de
sist. A young man weighing 180 pounds
was thrown out of a chair on to the floor.
Two gentlemen then were hurled out of the
chair. She stood on tiptoe on one foot and
two gentlemen could not push her off her
balance, neither could they press to the floor
a stick, held perpendicular. An umbrella
was torn to pieces by her touch while one of
the young men present Leld it. Other like
tests were gone through with and none could |
outdo the timid girl. |
As to the comparative power displayed by
Miss Simpson with that of Miss Hurst, there
is more composure and discipline by the
latter than the former, although the result is
the same,
This was only the fourth time she has al
lowed spectators to witness her tests. She
says she does not feel any opposing force
from those who attempt to resist her. The
force she possesses operates as well on met
als as wood. She dislikes to handle iron
because she deems it dangerous. We do
not attempt to explain the force displayed
—we leave that for others to do, who are
versed in solving mysteries. The young la
dy is aversed to going on the stage, and we
hear of no efforts being made to induce her
to do so.
MABLETON. |

Eortunately his mules were stabled in a sep

origin of the fire is - unknown, ithough con
sidering the hour of the night at which it

To the Public.
I desire to return my thanks to the many
friends who have subscribed for “House
keeping in the Sunny South.” Few books
find purchasers before they are submitted
for inspection, but this has been an excep
tion. lam very proud of the confidence it
implies, and trust that it may not prove in
the end to have been misplaced. Before
commencing my work I hought many val
uable receipts at heavy expense. All the
Cook Books on the market, numbering not
less than one hundred were purchased. Very
few receipts were copied from printed books
but they were valuable for reference and
comparison. The receipts are mainly the
treasures of noted housekeepers, who sent
them cheerfully and promptly. The press
has bestowed upon it the most lavish praise,
but I say it, (I trust with pardonable pride)
that one tenth of its value was not known
beeause it was not seen complete. To every
fond and faithful lover of home this book is
dedicated with the earnest h.ufi»e that it may
lessen the cares and multiply the joys of
every one seeking instruction from its pages.

ber, combining as it does articles of present
interest with those of permanent value, It
opens with a careful study by Lisle Lester of
Madame Ristor with a portrait and several
illustrations in character. Professor Charles
A. Joy contributes an article on a Jersey cat
tle-fram, and Oscanyan furnishes an ex
tremely interesting paper on “The Armen
ians.” The Story of Queen Matilda of Den
mark and CountStruenzee” is a valuable his
torical contribution, by F. Bt. John Brenon,
and “Something about Children's Books,”
with its quaint fac simile illustrations, shows
us the juvenile Jiterature loved by our grand
parents when they were boys and girls,
“Pate de Foie Gras,” by Nugent Robinson
will appear to the yourmet, and “Staten Is
land, its Past and its Present,” by J Barnitz
Bacon, to the local antiquarian, while the
naturalist will be equally interested in “The
Origin of our Domesticated Arimals,” by
the Rev M. G. Watkins. The eminent trav-.
eler and author, David Ker, is represented
by two articles, the one “A Meeting with I\(’-1
ghan Robbers,” and the other. “From Se
bastopol to Kief,” both thrilling and inter
esting. All these articles are fully illastrat- ‘
ed. The serial story, “The Death murk,”‘
reaches its twenty-fifth chapter, and th(erel
are several short stories and gome beautiful |
poems. The miscellany is well selected and
and entertaining. Published by Mrs. Frank |

every county in the United States and Canada, to

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 he 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, but ih its salability by any agent that
will handle it with energy. Our agents now at
work are making from $l5O to $6OO a month clear.
“and this fact makes it safe for us to make our ofter

will give our business a thirty days’ trial and fail to

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 EXPENSES, can
return all unsold and get their morrey back. No
other employer of agents ever dared to make such
offers, nor would we if we did not know that we have
agents now making more than double the amount

profit of over $125 a mouth, and that one of our
agents took eighteen orders in one day. Our large
