THEIR VISIT TO TOWN.
An Interesting Reeital of
the “Nights,”
“Just walk in, sister Polly, and T'll tell
you all about Josiah and me going to town.
Gruess 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 pretiy 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, dyou
needn’t tvll‘mo 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 eounld hiteh old Selim, we marched
right in; not in cither, 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.-»-(ilusslumps, (we had kinder promis
ed one to cur 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 Tobaceo,
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 ting, all kinds of Coffec
Pots, Big Pans, and every other little trick
sou ever heard of on what they call nickle
and ten cent counters. No dull times there
I can teil you. Jeans piled up as high as
your head, good at 25¢ts. 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 I sayssorier aside, We'll see what
we can do out in town. So Josiah says to
the man standing by the store, ‘We will sce
what we can do,” hut you needn't thiuk 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
. hought everything right there, and so would
you have did the same thing, for there was
everything we wanted, Flour, Corn, Bacon,
Hawms, Sugar, barrels of it, and Syrup of all
kinds. They had just Been unloading two
car loads of Timothy Hay; snch 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 hoth at what we ex
pected to pay for one; but I ain’t took time
ta tell you what store it was, but you must
have guessed it was D. F. McCrirony's.
You know how he is always talking so mueh
in the JOURNAL, yet he don't tell half, Well,
nobody eould i one column of a newspaper,
but you and your old man had better go and
Tookout for yourselves, and if you ain't more
than pleased, I'll give it up.”
DON'T FORGET THE PLACE!

WHAT IS IT?
Miss Simpson Gives a Public Exhibition of Her
Mysierions Power.
! Themysteriousforee possessed by Miss Ma
- mie Simpson, of this place, had been talked
| of so much, in order to gratify the curious,
she was induced to give her first public exhi
bition on last Thursday night at Nichols'
| Hall. Notwithstanding the threatening dark
clouds and vivid lightning, ominous of a
; coming storm, a large crowd geeeted her.
After a few preliminary remarks by Col.
}quk lewin, the chair test was first intro
‘duced. Col. A, 8. Clay affectionately em
braced the chair, by pressing it to his breast,
but when Miss Simpson placed the palms of
her hands on the chair, it began to writhe
! and squirm, and Col. Clay found himself
Ld:mcin;_' a “double shuffle” a Virginia reel
?mnl two or three waltzes thrown in for good
|measure. The perspiration rolied off freely
and the audience langhed. Col. Clay has
the “true grit” in him, however, and lie tack
ded that chair several times hefore he sur
rendered. Several othe: gentlemen tried
‘ the same chair test, hut'with no better result
{:ll vesistance. As many gentlemen as could
et around the chair attempted to press it to
the floor, but their combined strength failed
to do so. Four able-bodied men seated
tifemselves in a chair, and her hands placed
;:llt)ll;:<in|«' the chair tumbled them out. A
splendid test of her strength was made when
four mentried to hold the end of the stick on
the floor, but when she stepped up and placed
her hauds on the stick it raised up at least
six inches in obedience to her touch. An
other remarkable manifestation of her power
was made when she stood on one foot hold
ing a stick in a horizontal position, and the
combined strength of Messrs. W, P. Steph
ens, A, S. Clay, Joe Alexander and W. P,
McClatehy, failed to push her off her bal
ance. The success with which she perform
ed these feats carried the house by storm,
applause after applanse greeting her.
After going through several such efforts
for about one hour, Miss Simpson became
somewhat fatigued and did not retain her
self-confidence when counfrouted by a drum
mer, who was over six feet high and o ciant
in frame and weight. Whether it was the
“proverbial cheek” drummers are noted for
carrying around with them, that abashed
Miss Simpson, andrlike Sampson, shorn her
of her strength, we cannot opine; but he
succeeded in getting her off her halance
when standing on one foot, which four men
failed to do a few minutes previous.
Taking everything into consideration,
Miss Simpson stood the trying ordeal of a |
first appearance remarkably well,
What the force is, we cannot explain. If
it he physical fdvce, then for one so young
and fragile, she certainly must be a Her
cules in disguise to successfully resist four
or five strong men in the various tests made,
If the human body can be converted into
a battery to generate electricity, then she
certainly seems to be well charged. It it be
possible for disembodied spirits to infuse
their supernatural powers through the fibres,
nerves and- muscles of the living, then this
rosy-cheeked girl must be the medium of
some of the most robust spirits that ever en
tered spirit land. Then if it be none of
these, but is' magnetism, we can perceive of
the plausibility of the solution, for we have
known the magnetism of a pretty girl's
sparkling eyes and charming smiles to draw
a Mariettn young man as much as twenty
miles once every week, which throws into
shade stick and ehair lifiing; and such mag
netisun is rresistible, and you may depend
upon it. .
However, we do not vouch for this being
a corréet solution ot the problem. But we
congratulate Miss Simpson on the success
of her power, be it what it may.

; SWINDLED BY SHARPERS.
; Mr. Meridas Simpson, living in this coun
i ty, near Chattahoochee river, carried a fat
! steer to Atlante and sold it to the butcher
!for $25. He and his little boy boarded the
! Marietta Express train Friday afterncon to
creturn home. Justhefore the train staried two
men came in, one seated himselt beside Mr.
Simpson and the other on a seat in the rear.
- Shortly thereafter this last named “confi
'dence man” stepped up to his “pard”’ and
‘asked the loan of some money, saying he
!wns Express Messenger on the train and
| wanted to make some payments before the
i train left. The “pard” replied that he only
had ten dollars and loaned him that amount.
- The so-called Express Messenger then ad
% dressed Mr. Simpson, and asked him it he
' couldn’t lown him some mouney, that he
x would hand it back to him directly, as soon
as he went into the Express car. Mr. Simp
| son pulled out his $25 and handed it to the
Istrungor. thinking it was a matter in which
he could be as accommodating as the “other
fellow” beside him. After the train had left
Atlanta about a half a mile behind, Mr.
' Simpson noticed that the “stranger” and the
'Nrcxlllml Express Messenger were no where
to be seen, and he called a gontleman on
the train and told him to tell the Express
Messenger to please return the money that
he had loaned him. Explanations were
then entered into, and it soon dawned upon
the unsophisticated mind of Mr. Simpson
that he had been chieated out of $25 by two
sharpers. Conductor Turner stopped the
train, and Mr. Simpson {ooted it back to
Atlanta, with the hope of finding the thieves,
who had robbed him so unmercifully, and
he too a poor, needy man.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS, COBB SUPE
RIGR COURT. :
We the Grand Jury chosen and sworn for
the first week of March term of Cobb Supe
rior Court make the following presentments:
We have by committees examined the
Alms House aind pauper “arm. We find in
said house 18" white and nine colored in
mates, total 27. We found on farm 2 mules,
2 milk cows and calves, two yearlings, 24
head of stoek hogs, 2 pork hogs, 1 two-horse
wagon, 1 set blacksmith tools, 110 bushels of
corn, 1200 bundles of fodder, 500 pounds of
shucks, 60 bushels of cotton seed, 23 hushels
of peas, and 12 bushels of sweet potatoes,
1200 Ibs, bacon ; also that the superintendent
has paid out since last report for sundry ar
ticles 832,55, and has purchased goods to
the amount of $56.50, and has sold $70.20
worth of produce. We find the inmates well
cared for and well satistied. We are of the
opinion that wr. John Pace, the present
superintendent, is a very efficient man and
takes great interest in the management of
the farm, and we recommend the Ordinary
to raise his wages eight dollars per month.
ORDINARY,
We have examined the Ordinary's books
and find them kept in a very neat and busi
ness like manner; and also have examined
his report and find the vouchers correspond
ing to said report. We recommend that the
county tax for 1885 be 30 cents on the one
hundred dollars. The manner in which the
Ordinary’s books and office appear to this
committee reflects much credit upon him
self as well as upon our county generally.

The Ordinary reports due for 1583, $l4O 50
and the Sheriff has fi fas for that year to the
amount of £319 46,
This shows that there remains for 1884 a
balance of taxes as per the Digest not yet
paid to the Treasurer of $1,091 42, against
which there are outstanding fi fas to the
amount of 81,091 42,
From the taxes 1833, the Ordinary reports
an unpaid balance of £l4O 50, against which
there are outstanding fi fas to the amount
of 834046, making a surplus of fi fas for
1853 of $2OB 96, to which the Collector will
be entitled when these fi fas are collected.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS,
We find the jail needing repairs in the
roof, also a leak in the floor, where water,
when scouring, gets through. We recom
mend repairgaat once. Aisoa leak in the
roof of the t house, which has caused
the plastering to fall. We recommend the
roof be rep&wd at once and the plastering
replaced. £
We also®ecommend that the Sheriff be
allowed thirty-five dollars per year for
cleanging and keeping in order the public
buildings.
PUBLIC ROADS,
We find the public roads generally in fair
condition. Some have not yet been worked
on account of the wet and bad weather. We
recommend the District Road Commission
ers to have the roads well worked as®early
as practicable and have them in good condi
tion by next term of Superior Court. -
We tender onr thanks to His Honor, Judge
Brown, and to Solicitor General Gober, for
their zeal and ability in which they dis
harge their duties. ? .

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 wag created by the use of
potash and mercury ? No matter what the
cause, B. B. B. is the peer of all other reme
dies. Do yon presume that your trouble
gome catarrch is the resalt of mineral pois
oning? B. B. B.is rhe quickest remedy
Are your chronie uleers and boils and sores
the result of potash and mercury ? Medieal
gentlemen will not tell you so, but B. B. B.
is the only sovereign remedy. Were your ter
rible Kidney troubles created by wmineral
poisoning ? Not a hit of it, but B. B. B. has
proven to be a reliable remedy. Are your
skin diseates, your eczema, dry tetter, ete..
the effect of too much potash and mercury ?
The medical professions ave the hest judges,
and they say nay, but B. B. B. makes mnn“
pronounced cures than all other preparations
