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!

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. - > —— ~The following gentlemen compose the Grand Jury for the presert week of Cobb Suporior Court: Frank N.

Give him a liberal shave of your trade. ; 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.

The only things to attract attention at the place in question is a country store, Upshaw post office, a black smith shop, an academy and Ebenezer M. E. Church.
