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! D. F.

We wish Marietta had a commodious school building, neat and comfortable, and then Prof. Manget would have room to spread himself, and, with able assistants, give Marietta a school commen surate with her demands. —The severity of climate in the North and North Western States has occasioned a very general desire for alife under milder skies in our own sunny Southland. The ayes of this descontented people are looking this way and we have evidence of a growing and increasing tide of population flowing in this direction. Marietta and North Georgia al ready have a number of these settlers and we have room and a hearty welcome for more. — Last Sunday afternoon a beautiful ban ner made of blue satin and having the in scription “Banner Class, with the words un derneath “All for Christ,” was presented by Rev.

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.” —Our esteemed friend Mr, James C. How ell, of this place, has accepted a position with the Union Depot Co., at Chattanooga, Tenn., and has entered on the discharge of 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.

Uxo . s ——— ENTERTAINMENT BY MISS SIMPSON. So many persons have solicited Miss Ma mie Simpson to give a public exhibition of 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.

In the dark he made a mistake and stepped up to one of her married sisters and asked “Will you accept of my company ?"

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. Rusric.

For the present grinding days will be every Wednesday and Saturday, and will have corn meal and flour on hand to exchange at alt times. (Give him a trial is all he asks. 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 spectfully, A. G.
