THEIR VISIT TO TOWN.
An Interesting Recital of
the “Sights.”
“Just walk in, sister Polly, and T'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‘l 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 nothing in luck), we
drove 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. 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, 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 Tobacco,
Cigars, Pipes, Soda, 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 ot on what they call nickle
and ten cent counters. No dull times there
I can tell you. Jeans piléd 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 sach
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
th.e 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 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
everything 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
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 yon what store it was, but you must
have guessed it was D, F. McCrareny's,
You know how he is always talking so much
in the Journar, yet he don't tell 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, T'll give it up.”
DON'T FORGET THE PLACE!

creates a suspicion that Sambo or his dog
one was trying to steal corn.
—lt isn’t at all strange that a young lady
of sweet sixteen, and pretty at that, should
be looked upon as an electric wonder in
Marietta. All females are more or less elec
trie in Cobb county, asmay be gathered from
the number of marriage license thatare sold
in Marietta; and when you find one that is
sweet and sixteen and pretty and a brunette
and other bright and blessed things, too nu
merous to mention, there is no wonder that
everything unmarried in that intensely pro
marriage community should be thoroughly
electrified.—Albany News.
—Electric females are springing up all
over Georgia as the rival of Miss Lulu Hurst.
Bartow county has one in the person of
Miss Mattie Price, Fulton in the person of
Mre, Coleman, Marietta in the person of
Miss Mamie Simpson, and now Milledgeville
steps forward and claims that Mrs. Dixie
Haygood, wife of policeman Haygood, has
had this strange power for ten years. She
gave test of her power and performs all of
the feats that Miss Hurst does. She lifted
600 pound entirely off the floor by placing
Jher hands alongside the chair,
—Capt. W. T. Dowda, who was sentenced
to seven years in the penitentiary, for seduc
ing and abducting one of his pupils, 15 years
old, in DeKalb county, has been carried to
the chain gang at Chattahoochee river to
work out his sentence. He is sixty-nine
years old, has a wife and two sous and three
daughters all grown. His wife lives with
one of her sons in this county. Dowda
taught school near Smyrna several years be
fore going to DeKalb county, where youth
and beauty fascinated the old man and
caused him to step out of the path of recti
tude. We have seen him many times in
Marietta, aud found him to be inteiligent
and gentlemanly, and ws regret that in his
old age he has to wear the shackles and
stripes for the indiscretions of an infatuated
woment.
TOWN TALK.
—March came in like a lamb.
—Mr. and Mrs. Clem R. Harris, of Atlan
ta, spent Sunday in the city.
—A hack-line on Sunday afternoon to the
Marble Works would pay a good dividend.
—Mrs. N. P. T. Finch, of Atlanta, spent
Sunday as the guest of Miss Kate Howell.
—Mrs. A. W. Foree, of Atlanta, spent last
week with Mrs. G. H. Camp.
—Mr. W. L. Butler took in the town one
night last week.
Miss Mary Cheek left last Thursday on a
visit to friends in Thomasville.
—Mr. Woods White, of Atlanta, spent
Thursday in the city.
—lt seems that the hog law is still in force
notwithstanding the weight it was intended
to carry in the last municipal election.
—Mr. G. C. Burnap and Dr. T. 8. Stewart,
after a severe illness, are out again on the
streets to the delight of their many friends.
—Parties leaving Macon for Atlanta can
have the transportations for themselves and
baggage to the depot, paid for by going via
the E. T. Va. and Ga. R. R.
—Lost—On Kennesaw Avenue Saturday
night, Feb. 2d, a long, green satin bow lined
with red. The finder will oblige by return
ing to Miss Sallie Camp.
—The smoke stack at the marble works is
to be one hundred and twenty feet high and
two hundred thousaad brick are required to
build it and the engine room.
—The old Kennesaw Route has been dis
solved by taking the New Orleans sleepers
via Cincinnati. It seems ridiculous that
the East Tennessee Road should try to
claim the name of Kennesaw for their line.
—Mr. Chuck Anderson sold his beautiful
sorrel horse to Mr. Geo. R. Eager for $4OO
and also shipped a car load of twenty-five
head to Augusta last Thursday. His equip
ment as left is the best in the South.
—Mr. A. A. Fletcher has ordered a new
supply of pass keys for Kennesaw House as
the demand has increased lately to such an
extent that the boys are more numerous
than the keys and night is made hideous by
the midnight poundings on the front door.
—'Tis said that thirteen of our young la
dies are engaged to be married. If they
should all see fit to plight their troth
during this year, 1886 would see Marietta
devoid of a large share of its genuine at
tractiveness.
—Last Saturday night it was our pleasure
in company with several couples to visit the
home of Miss Mamie Simpson, to test the
her powers of electricity, magnetism &e.
Unfortunately she had sprained her wrist
and was not prepared to give a full exhibit
of the unknown force with which she is im
bued. Her feat of raising two men sitting
in a chair, weighing 350 Ibs, squarely offof the
floor and standing on one foot resisting the
presure of a strong man was something more
than remarkable. An effort is being made
to induce her to give a public exhibition at }
an early day.
—A gentleman who travels from a neigh
boring city remarked a few days since,
“The boom that Marietta is enjoying is the
talk every where, itis considered an evi
dence of permament prospersty and as little
as you may think of it, is attracting the
eagle eye of capitalists, both from the north
and south.” He continued by giving an
elaborate opinion of the many advantages
and beauties of our section and climate and
of the fortunate location in our city of the
marble works, and ended by saying, “I con
sider the outlook for your beautiful city
more promising than any town in Georgia.”
—The boiler of the engine, Little Mary,
ofthe M. & N. Ga. R. R. being deemed un
safe, the machinery was stripped off, and |
with little ceremony she was rolled from the
shops down the embankment and consigned
to a resting place in the serap pile. A new
one has been ordered and the machinery
being overhauled, an engine as good as new
will soon be added to their rolling stock.
This little engine becomes historie, the pio
neer, a 8 it were, of the narrow gauge being‘
compelled for want of shelter to stand the
storms of many a wintry night on the end of
a track that is now fast reaching to the bor
ders of a neighboring State. Sheit was whose
hoarse breathings and shrill whistle were
first echoed in the recessesjof the mountains
of North Georgia, the sighful responses rev
erberating as they died away on the still at
mosphere of the mountain solemnity.

SHOT BY HIS OWN GUN.
~—For some time past Mr. W. T. McKelvy,
a farmer; residing near Salt Springs, in Doug
las county, has been troubled with some one
stealing corn from his erib. Saturday night
he put a loaded gun in his erib, so arranged
that opening the door would cause it to fire.
Forgetful of this death trap that he had set
for the thief, he went to the crib Sunday
afternoon and opened the door. The result
was 4 complete demonstration of the fact
that if the thief had returned for more corn
he would have been caught. The gun was
discharged and Mr. McKelvy received a load
of squirrel shot in his left knee, shattering
the bone in a frightful manner. Amputa
tion wasjrendered necessary. That operation
~was performed by Drs. Verdery, Edge and
Pool, of Douglasville; Cotton, of Powder
Springs ; Slaughter, of Villa Rica, and Gar
rett, of Salt Springs. It is feared that the
accident may result fatally.

JUDGE McINTOSH KILLED,
—Judge A. C. Mclntosh was killed at
Powder Springs on last Monday morning at
3} o'clock by an East Tennessce, Va. & Ga.
Railroad passenger train. Judge Mclntosh
desired to go to Atlanta that morning, and
as he lived some distance from the depot, his
son hitched up a horse to a buggy to carry
his father to meet the south bound train,
which passed atan early hour. But they
did not reach the depot in time, and when
the Judge saw the train approaching, he
realized that he would be left, and jumping
out of the buggy he ran up to the side of the
track and attempted to flag the train down,
but the engineer did not see him or did not
care to stop one or the other, and the train
sped on. Just as the last coach was about
to pass, Judge Mclntosh grabbed the railing
to swing on, but the swiftness of the train
rendered it difficult and the car struck him
and threw him a distance of twenty feet,
breaking several ribs, one of his arms, also
an ankle, and knocking him insensible.
His son ran to his father and seeing that he
was helpless and badly hurt, called loudly for
help. Some persons at the depot hearing
the distressing cry, went to the scene of the
accident and assisted in ecarrying the Judge
to a neighbor’s house near by. Physicans
were sent for, but they could do him no
good. He lived three hours after the acei
dent, remaining unconscious up to the time
of his death.
Judge Mclntosh was about 55 years old,
and was a prominent citizen, a successful
farmer, and a worthy mason. He was a
Justice of the Peace at Powder Springs for
a number of years, and represented this
county in the State Constitutional Conven
tion. He was a man of practical, common
sense views, and his tragic death is deeply
regretted.

A MAN OF STRAW.
Powper Serinas, Ga., Feb. 28. 'B5.
Messrs. Editors—ln your issue of the
19th of February appeared a communica
tion from A. G. McKenney. He seems to
put the stock-law in front in order to make a
thrust at the cotton buyers of Powder
Springs and brings up his rear with the
road business to let the people know that he
is one of the Grand Jurors,
With your permission, we will try and
give a true statement about this business,
less the cotton buyers of this place be injur
ed (one of whom has passed over the river
of death and cannot defend his own fair
name). MecKenhey's remarks are just as
applicable to Rome.and Atlanta cotton buy
ers as to the buyers of this place, because
for a time a certain cotton buyer gave
more for cotton in Marietta than the buy
ers gave in either of the other places.
The cotton in the warehouse here was tak
en out and soid in Marietta. Even the mer
chants did this, so did the warchousemen in
Marietta sell to this certain buyer, and this
same certain buyer even went to Atlanta
and bought cotton there,
Our cotton buyers kept so close to the At
lanta market that they realized nothing on
the business. Itisa fact that some quit
buying because it was a loseing business.
Did the Atlanta and Rome buyers pay
any attention to this cotton buyer? Not a
bit.
Then why should the buyers here do so?
It was none of their business if a certain
buyer in Marietta thought proper to give
above the market price.
A good many of the men in the club men
tioned are buying their guano here, having
only bought a part direct from the manufac
turers, and the business relations between
the buyers and the farmers are not at all dis
turbed. We have seen no folly nor braga
docio, we are denied none of our rights,
This is all a straw-man conjured up by an
incongenial spirit to be demolished to the
delight of his maker.
The cotton buyers here will buy any man’s
cotton, guano or no guano, club man or not.
May be one buyer in Marietta did buy
more cotton than all the buyers here, yet
we know one buyer in Atlanta who bought a
great deal more than all the buyers in Ma
rietta, and what does this signify ? Nothing
but the size of the cotton market of each
place.
The cotton buyers of this place have used
every effort to build up a trade for the place.
It is to their interest of course to do so.
They have been foremost with money and
brains in all of our undertakings.
We guess the stock law will be disposed of
according to law in due time. All are fa
miliar with the cause of bad roads, but we
have as good or better roads than any other
district, and what work was done, was done
voluntarily. As McKenney is going to be
one of that august body, the Grand Jury, we
hope he will see to it that things will be
changed around to suit him as far as he can
‘influence the other twenty-two to conform
to his views. T’.,P. LixpLey,

Plain Qnestions.
Mythical ideas are fanning the public biow
with the breath of prejudice, ignorance and
humbuggery. Have you the remotest idea
that your scrofula was created by the use of
potash and mercury ? No matter what the
cause, B. B. B. is t{w peer of all other reme
dies. Do you presume that your trouble
some catarrh is the result of mineral pois
oning ? 38. B. B.is rhe quickest remedy.
Are your chronic uleers and boils and sores
the result of potash and mercury ? Medical
gentlemen will not tell you so, but B. B. B.
is the only sovereign remedy. Were your ter
rible kidney troubles created by mineral
poisoning ? Nota bit of it, but B. B. B. has
proven to be a reliable remedy. Are your
skin diseases, your eczema, dry tetter, etc.,
the effect of too much potash and mereury ?
The medical professions are the best judges,
and they say nay, but B. B. B. makes more
