The Warietta Journal, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 14, 1885. e e e d How the Young Married Couple Prospered. “Who would‘ have* thought it ! Well, I sup- Pose some folks would say it is none of my business, but 1 reck;)n as how it is, a woman can speak her mind sometimes. As I. was going to say, Lucindy, you know when that boy of the widow Franklin's took it into his head to marry and move to town with that young girl-wife of his, what everybody proph ecied, that is, they would pretty soon be back on the farm for the poor old mother to take care of ; and for my part I am glad for once that things are not exactly that way. You see when they set out was with the no tion to “pay as you ge,” and with but little coming in, 'twas“mighty right” they should, and now Mrs. Franklin (the old woman) has Jjust come home from a visit to them, and the dear old creature goes about the hOI;SG singing as happy as you please, for she al ways set a power by her boy, and now she is in love with his wife; for she, (the old lady i says) does manage so nicely and makes ‘ John such a good wife. You should g 0 over Jjust to hear her dilate on the good things she had to eat; sux,h.bread, and more nice little dishes, and besides, she says, John is laying by a little every week for the inevit able rainy day; for you know 'tis true, as John's wife says, “into each life some rain must fall.” She is truly a help-meet as well as a “help-eat.” You see, she is what my old man would call a “good manager.” Lawsey me, the times I have heard my old man talk about such and such a woman be ‘ng a good manager, Thisis the way she works it: She keeps a little girl and with her help does her own work; but she says the whole secret of their success is, they do all their trading at McClatchy's where she gets the best of everything, and a great ben efit is, she loses no time in running around. She keeps a little book and when she needs anything, she sends the book, and if Mec- Clatchy hasn't got it why he sends out and gets it for her. Any child can trade at this counter justas well as you can. Oh, they are well pleased I can tell you. You know McClatchy keeps not only everythingto eat, | but shoes and hats, and has nice spring prints, too. The truth is, lam afraid actual ly we will lose old sister Franklin herself, for I verily believe she is in the notion to go where she can buy her groceries cheap, and then get the best there ;s in the market be sides; for my part, I rejoice with them, they are doing so well. They were attracted to McClatehy's by the continued crowds going in and out, and now they bless the day that they commenced doing their trading there; and more than that, I am bound to go there myself, for the “proof of the pudding is in the eating,” and I have got it down that the place to go is McClatchy’s store. That's me! Do you catch on? lam not going to be left myself; you can mark that down !”’ " P. B.—Sister Franklin says she hardly knew John's house this time, newly painted ingide and ont. MecClatchy keeps all kinds of paints you know. Marietta. Marietta has a bright future before her. There is an evidence of an increasing ac tivity in business, real estate commands goods prices and improvements are going on. The town has a chair factory, an iron foundry, a large flouring mill, marble works, two sash, blind and door factories, carriage and wagon factory, two_hotels, good schools, | fine churches, and an industrious _populu' | tion, and above all has a wide-awake, enter -prising merchant, D. F. McClatchy, who is selling the people, dry goods, shoes, hats, shirts, collars, cuffs, jeans, groc;eries, paints, crockery, &c., cheaper than anybody. Tr)t him and see. Business is good and printer's ink did it. Leading Grocer. —McClatchy leads the van in selling gro ceries.

Last week a young man, (whose name we will not give for prudential reasons,) came in from the country and stated to Dr. W, K. Root that his wife to whom he had been married about thirteen months, had attempt ed to poison him. He said that on the morning of the day that he was dosed, that his wife insisted on visiting her father some miles away, He remonstrated and told her that there was indications of rain and if it did she would get wet, and, therefore, she had better not go. She appeared angry and said go she would, and further remarked that if he lived after that day, she would never live with him again. He went to work as usual and at noon returned to the house for his dinner which he found prepar ed for him, but his wife was absent. He placed the food on the table and began to -partake of his repast when he discovered his bread had a dark colorand a very bittertaste. In his hunger he ate a good size piece of it. He began to feel dizzy aifd an acute burn ing sensation seized his stomach. He drank copiously of water, but this did not allay the feeling. He began to feel that he was going to die, but after awhile he got better and the bad feeling passed off He was a little suspicious of the bread and gave a pig in the yarda piece of the bread, and shortly afterward he noticed it began to turn round and stagger about. The pig then vomited up the bread which had turn ed perfectly green. He was satisfied then that the bread was poisoned. He examined it and found that it had been worked up with “Jimson weed” juice, some of the leaves being discernible. He brought a piece of the bread to town and left it with Dr. Root | for him to analyze. The young man alleges ‘ that his wife is the guilty party and that he intends that she shall suffer for her felon~{ ious attempt upon his life. EDUCATIONAL MEETING. —The meeting called for last Thursday night, at the Court House, to devise ways and means to build a commodious academy building, was attended by some of our best and most influential citizens, who, we were glad to see, exhibited a good deal of interest and enthusiasm in the matter. The meeting was organized by calling Rev. Dr. Buttolph to the Chair and R. N. Holland, Esq., to act as Secretary. Mr. John Boston, one of the prime movers in the good work, was called upon and after a few remarks, he asked Col. E. Faw to place before the meeting the plan they had talked over as the most advisable. Col. Faw thought that the best plan would be to form a stock company and construct a suitable building to cost about $2,000, to be used for this important purpose. Dr. Cor telyou gave pointed suggestions. Mr. Groves, Gen. Phillips and Mr. Ben R. Legg all made remarks. On the motion of Mr. John R. Winters a committee was appoint ed to get information and devise some practical plan for intelligent action to re port at a future meeting. This motion was adopted, and the Chairman appointed J. R. Winters, John H. Boston, Gen. William Phillips, Dr. P. R. Cortelyou, T. H. Cheek, and Mayor W. M. Sessions. The meeting adjourned - subject to the call of the Chair man. The meeting was harmonious and everything seems auspicious of good results. The understanding appeared to be to build first an academy for males and when this is ! finished and paid for, go to work at once and construct a building for females. This was the ruling idea. We trust that our cit izens will unite for once and lend their in fluence to the consummation of an object so devoutly wished. THE RIGHT THING TO DO. ~—President Cleveland's administration cannot bring half the prosperity to this coun try that our farmers can. He can-turn a few rascals out and put democrats in their places, but unless the yeomanry of this country make plenty of corn and meat and ail the other essential adjuncts, that flourish on the farm, there cannot be much glory to dawn upon this Republic. Hard times will still be the gaunt spectre that will stalk in as an unwelcome guest at the feast. Therefore, it behooves everybody to go to work. This is no time for idleness about the streets of towns or cities. If you cannot find work that suits you, hire to the farmers and help add to the prosperity of the country. Help produce as well as con sume. Dronesin the busy hive of industry are intruders, The more that engage in the honest tilling of the soil, the greater the independence of the people. It is only in this way individual independence and wealth can be obtained. And in this fight it will certainly come to pass, “to the victor belongs the spoils,” AROUND TOWN. —Mr. Wm.

Thou hast drank of the fount of immortal youth, No blight is upon thy brow, : Though the spoiler hath touched the casket fair And seemeth broken now. But I looked not upon the faded form, The hands pressed over the Leart, Nor the sweet lips scaled to love’s fond word, Ah! never again to part. 'Tis a weary sight, when a young life’s ray, Fades out from a glad bright eye ; "Tis a weary sound, when the morning’s breath Dies out with an early sigh; "Tis a heavy tone, that voice of grief, From a stricken parent's heart; "Tis a fearful gap in the household band, When such as thou depart. Oh! weary and dull is the early day, And heavier still the noon, For the evening’s bring no gladness now, There’s a cloud o’er star and moon. And an empty seataround the board, And a tone of music hushed, With a fearful silence in the halls, Where thy joyous laughter gushed. Oh! grief stricken ones— Thy heart’s are sick of the blight of earth, And you turn with a longing eye, To the home of his spirit—angel boy, His bright home in the sky. The dew of thy youth is spotless fair, On a radiant angel brow, And thy steps will never feeble grow, Nor thy head in anguish bow. . While the young who wept thy early doom And with flowers strewed thy bier, Will feel the withering touch of time And the rack of hope and fear, We had linked thee with the early flowers And the pleasant things of earth, With the strongest ties that love could bind With music and with mirth. But One, who had loved thee better far, ‘ Sought out for the angel throng, | One of the fairest forms on earth To join in “the Lamb's New Song." C. B. G, S et D e s Helio ! Hello ! Yes! T. L.
