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; natarally 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 gut‘
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
usin 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 of 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, 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 Sancers, 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 us long 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,
Hamg, 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
Lawmp we had promised our Jane, but one
for the boys, as we got both at what we ex
pected to pay for one; but T 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 Journaw, 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, I'll give it up.”
DON'T FORGET THE PLACE!

!Agricultuml Society will hold its regular
quarterly meeting at Benson's School, on the
Bell Ferry road, Big Shanty District, on
next Saturday. The President, Hon. George
Roberts, asks a full attendance and that
every club in the county shall be represent
ed. We like the idea of these itinerating
meetings of the farmers for they will thus
become better acquainted with each other
and the various methods of farming. Be
cause we live in town it is no reason that we
should feel no interest in the country and
our farming interests, but is in fact the
stronger reason for the sincere interest we
have ever felt in agricuiture of our county.
We have ever done and will continue to do
all we can to forward whatever benefits the
farmer. We recognize the importance of
these meetings and unite with the President
and Secretary, in extending the notice and
urging every farmer to attend this and every
meeting and help good old Cobb to main
tain her high position which can only be
done by more study, more thought and more
work.
—The Georgia Marble Company have had
Messrs. McClatchy & Bailey, of this place,
to polish some specimens of their marble,
which displays not only skill of workman
ship but shows that the marble cannot be
surpassed in beauty and variety. The varie
gated marble, beautifully arranged in con
trast, is well calculated to excite admiration
and elicit praise. These specimens will be
carried to Atlanta for inspection and will
prove valuable in attracting attention to the
vast wealth of marble in North Georgia,
We are also glad to note that Messrs.
McClatchy & Bailey are doing a thriving
business with their marble works. They are
three weeks behind with their orders but
have employed additional help and will
soon push matters forward.
—About one thousand people gathered on
the streets last Tuesday afternoon to wit
ness Prof. Fisk's balloon ascension. Ahout
four o'clock the balloon was inflated by
steam on the old Marietta hotel lot, and
when the ropes were cut it shot up in it's
aerial flight like a sky rocket, whilé a
trapeze performer dangled to a rope attach
ed. The balloon floated eastward. It soon
descended and collapsed in Mr. John Cat
tell's garden, near the National Cemetery.
It was a novel sight to many, but a daring
and fool-hardy feat by the trapeze perform
er, who reached terra firma “right side up
with care.”
—A little negro boy, about twelve years
old, was brought to Marietta on last Tues
day afternoon and lodged in jail for setting
Mr. George Mohon's house on fire. Mr.
Mohon was in the field at work at the time
the incendiary act was committed. Attract
ed by the smoke he ran to the house and ex
tinguished the blaze, but it required hard
work todo so. One side of the weather
boarding was burnt nearly off and a hole
burntin the roof. The negro confessed that he
struck a match and applied it to some com
bustible material between the weather
hoarding. When asked why he did it, he
replied, "Jeat 'cause I wanted to see it
burn.”

his duties. We regret to lose him from our
city but congratulate Chattanooga on secur
ing him as a citizen and the Union Depot
Co., in procuring the services of such a thor
oughly competent, courteous and reliable
business young man, He has energy, intel
ligence and vigor and the happy faculty of
making friends and doing the fair and square
thing by everybody, We feel certain that
the Union Depot Co. could not have em
ployed a young man that will give better
satisfaction in every department of duty to
which he may be assigned. He will “wear
well.” Success to you “Jeems.”
—The grist mill, located at Oakley Mills,
on Soaps Creek, run by Dr. J. M. Moore,
was burned about day light on last Sunday
morning. The fire was first discovered by
Mr. Barber, who lives near by. The
blaze was then goming out of the roof. He
ran over and attempted to enter the build
ing to get out the mail matter in that part of
the building used as a post office, but was
unsuccessful, and the building and entire
contents were totally destroyed, It was the
work of an incendiary. This seems to be a
doomed locality for mills and gins, this
making the fifth structure that the incen
diary torch has swept away at that place.
The mill was owned by Mr. J. Y. Alexander
and had $l2OO or $l5OO insurance.
—A gold pen and pearl handle holder
and a Smith & Wesson pistol have been stol
en recantly from Mr. Jordan Black's office
desk at L. Black & Son's shop. A few
weeks ago a silver watch was stolen from
Mr. Mat Black's vest at the same place.
The thief seems to be familiar with the sur

—On last Monday while Mr. Elsie Pool,

ENTERTAINMENT BY MISS SIMPSON.
So many persons have solicited Miss Ma

her strange and wonderful powers, that she
has consented to do so, and to-night (Thurs
day) she will appear at Nichols’ Hall. We
trust our citizens will turn out and give
Miss Simpson a large audience. Being a
Marietta young lady, Marietta should do the
handsome thing by her. It is the same pow

for the winter term last week.
—OQats that were sowed before the late
cold weather are all killed out, also wheat
on this red land is very badly damaged.
—Joseph B. Moon will sing at the Mission
ary Baptist Church, on the 4th Sunday inst.,
at 1 o'clock p. m., and introduce “Pound’s

tend and particpate,
—Farmers are making good use of the few
fair days we are having scattered along with

about the Stocklaw now, we have got it, to

stock or no stock.

CAMP GROUND.
—Miss Joe M. Wilson has returned to take.
charge of her school.
—Miss Amanda Thompson, of Marietta,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. Taylor.
—Mr. H. M. Upshaw, of Atlanta, spent
Sunday with his parents,
~—The Agricultural club at this place
seems to be in & very prosperous condition,
having had some very interesting meetings
recently.
—We think the suggestion from Sorrell's
Springs, in last week’s issue, regarding the
Camp Ground correspondent is very plausi
ble. But this place is more generally known
in the connty, by “Camp Ground than by
“Upshaw,” its new name. Also our taste
favors the former. Hence the position we
take. If we are wrong we would be glad to
be informed of it by the editors. Thanks to
him for the suggestion, we had thought very
little about it.
This community was greatly shocked
last week by the sad intelligence of the trag
ic death of Judge A.C. Mclntosh. There
was some mistake in last week's issue con
cerning it. His son, who has witnessed many
accidents on railroads, says he is sure that
he did not attempt to board the train, as the
last coach was passing, as he would have
been thrown directly behind the train. He
saw him run alongside the engine, and in
his effort to attract the attention of the en
gineer, he approached too near, in the dark
ness, and was struck by a beam projecting
from the engine, which did the fatal work.
His son ran to him—physicians were sum
moned. But all was too late. He was car
ried to Mr. Florence's house, a few yards
away, where he expired in about twenty
minutes. He was a devoted husband, a
kind father and an intelligent, useful and
beloved citizen. We extend our heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family and friends.

NOT DEMOLISHED.
Eprrors JourNar—ln last week's issue
of your paper appears an article over the
names of T. P. Lindley and J. M. Christian
as a reply to some remarks of mine which
appeared in a recent number of the Journal
in regard to the action of some of the Pow
der Springs cotton buyers. It appears that
the said Lindley and Christian have assum
ed the championship of the said cotton buy
ers, and intended this ag a reply, but really
they hava evaded the main or most serious
point at issue. Now, Mr. Editor, if you will
allow me leave throughk your Journal, I pro
pose to notice some of the points raised by
asking the said L. & C. a few qustions, tak
ing them in the order of their names as they
appear. Mr. L. will you allow me to ask
you a few questions on the matter under
consideration ? I will. Did you see and
read an article of mine in a recent number
of the Journal? I did. Was it true that
some of the P. S.'s cotton buyers said they
would not buy cotton of certain parties on
certain grounds? Well, they did sorter talk
that way; but they saw that would not do.
Then they saw their folly, did they not?
Well, they felt like it would not be using
money and brains in building up their trade,
in fact they saw and felt that such conduet
on their part would be tearing down already
what brains and money had put up. Good.
Sensible chat that. When one gets to feel
ing right under such circumstances conver
sion is speedily and rapid—it is inevitably
so; but, Mr. L. you say here you see no folly
etc., what about it? Well, they simply lost
their equilibrium, but they are now going to
buy every man'’s cotton guano or no guano,
club man or not. Conversion complete. A
few weeks ago we had these rebels “spotted”
but now we will buy every man's cotton, gu
ano or no guano, club man or not. Please
let me say glory one time. Glory. Bnt‘
hold on; your statement is that Marietta's |
cotton merchant bought nearly everybody's
cotton last season, bought cotton in Atlanta
and even the P. B's. cotton merchants had
to take their cotton out of their warehouses
and sell to him, and finally had to suspend
business for the time being. Then he must
be a cotton king, is he not ? It looks like it.
Well, suppose this C. K. should, next fall,
fly high and take us in again in like man
ner, how would these P. §'s. cotton mer
chants buy cotton, guano or no guano, club
man or not? Well, I declare Ido not know,
I had not thought of that and these cotton ‘
buyers have forgotten to post me just here. |
Would they not have to suspend again or
go by the board? Tt looks that way sure.
Mr. L., are you the author of this article
over your name ? Not exactly. Who is its
author? Don't be so inquisitive, please.
Beg pardon, please, you say here certain re
marks of mine are just as applicable to A.
and R. as to P. §'s. With this difference,
Mr. L.,if you please we never hear of these A.
and R. merchants telling the farmers they
will not buy cotton of those who do gnot buy
guano of them. Did you ever hear of any
cotton merchant except P. B's. doing the
like? I never did. Neither have I. How
came you in front in this business? Well,
Well, they said—Who said? These P. S's., |
cotton buyers that you was a man of straw
and easily demolished. Did you ever know
one straw to demolish another? I never
did. This young friend of yours in P. B's.
have got yon into it and that smashing de
light you speak of has taken place on the
other side of the branch, don't you feelit?
| You are right I feel it, I feel flat as a feather
and flatter too. Our fort is impregnable,
being fortified with truth, your artillery
pieces are too short, you need new ones,
a siege piece similar to this one in Marietta
and new material to man them in order that
you may take in Atlanta like this cotton
king of Marietta. You are in error in going
to the grave of this deceased member of cot
ton merchants. I most emphatically deny
having ever made any charge against him
and challenge proof. As the stock law and
public road are foreign to the subject and
cannot have any propet connection here 1
will only remark that they will be disposed
of through their proper channels with regard
and respect to the rights and privilege of all
concerned,destitute of usurpation, however,
Mr. L. can this man of straw depart in peace?
Yes, sir, and may heaven's choices blessings
rest upon your head, amen. Thank you,
farewell. Please pardon this intrusion. Re

Plain Questions.
Mythical ideas are fanning the public brow
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 tile peer of all other reme
dies. Do you presume that your troubie
some catarrh is the result of mineral pois
oning? B. B. B.is rhe quickest remedy
Are your chronic ulcers and boils and sores
the result of potash and mercury? Medical
gentlemen will not tell you so, f;ut B. B. B.
is the only sovereign remedy. Wore your ter
rible kidney troubles created by mineral
poisoning ? Not a 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 mercury ?
The medical professions are the best judges,
and they say nay, but B. B. B. makes more
pronounced cures than all other preparations
combined,

A Remarkable Escape. \
Mrs. Mary A. Dailey, of Tunkhannock,
Pa., was afflicted for six years with Asthma
and Bronchitis, during which time the best
physicians could give no relief. Her lite
was despaired of, until in last October she
procured a bottle of Dr. King's New Discov
ery, when immediate relief was felt, and by
continuing its use for a short time she was
completely cured, gaining in flesh 50 lbs. in
a few months.
