delayed pgyment in order that he might have
time to write to Cobb county and inguire in
to the matter. The answer verified the sus
picion of fraud by stating that only a third
grade licerise had been given. The woman fled
from town. We understand the party has
returned to Marietta and is desirous of
teaching here. It seems that as soon as the
colored folks learn to write that they think
forgery is an attendant accomplishment.

TIRED OF LIFE. |
That was a sad remark of a Marietta gen
tlemen the other day, when in a moment of
despondency he exclaimed, “Life pressesj
hard upon me and I am growing tired of its
cares.”” The remarked touched our sympa
thy. Itis under such melancholy as this
men rashly commit suicide.. Adversity and
death have both cast shadows across his
household and heart. In the freshness of
young manhood life did not appear so un
desirable—then it was gilded with brightest
colors, hope inspired and ambition burned.
Zealous was his pursuit for wealth, honor
and pleasure. He has had a goodly portion
of all. Butnow matters have gone along
£0 hard with him, blight and misfortune,
that he feels that hfe is empty and tiresome.
Itis but the history of many a life told over
again, in passionate lofigings on earth for
the unattainable—perfect happiness.
“We may mock at pleasure and mock at pain,
And our lives may vanish in sun or rain;
Yet soon or late in the silent years
We must kneel in sorrow and walk in tears
Through the aisles of pain.”’
But by and by, on the beautiful shore, all
will be well. Earth has no sorrow heaven
cannot heal. Only be patient and trusting
THE VAN WINKLE GIN.
—The time has come when our farmers
should be putting in new gins for the gin
ning of the new cotton crop, and we desire
to impress upon their minds the importance
of getting the best gin for the work. The
best is the cheapest. The Van Winkle gin
has now become the leading gin on the mar
ket. It issupplanting every other gin on
merit and excellence. It has been tried and
tested for several years and with its present
improvements it stands unrivalled. It is
made by experienced and skillful machinists
of the best material, personally inspected
by the proprietors before leaving the shop,
and they go forth with every reasonable
guarantee of giving perfectsatisfaction. We
trust our readers will give the Van Winkle
gin, made in Atlanta by E. Van Winkle &
Co., their preferenee in purchase. It is a
Southern enterprise and has won its way to
the front rank through its efficiency and su
periority. This firm also deals extensively
in cotton feeders, saw mills, pulleys, shaft
ing, hangers and mill work. They give dis
count to the trade. Their facilities are un
excelled for doingall kinds of machine work,
and can put you up a cotton seed oil mill as
easily as they can a cotton gin. There is
‘not a Southern State but what has their gin
in operation. Their name is becoming fa
‘miliar toeverybody. Enterprising thorough
‘ ly reliable, you can do no better than to get
’ their prices and purchase of them. They
will dowhat theysay, and you will find every
thing they sell you just as represented.
Read their advertisement in another col
umn and write to them.

FARMING IN COBB.
~ We were in the company of two intelli
gent, practical observers the other evening,
one a doctor and the other a merchaut, both
of whom have watched the farming opera
tions of our people very closely, and by en
quiries and thought, have formed correct
ideas as to the want of increased prosperity
among the farmers. They both were of the
opinion that it was not due to extravagance,
as farmers denied themselves of many of the
comforts of life in order to pay debts and to
avoid making debts. Said the doctor, there
is more true heroism in farmers than any
class of workers. Working all day from
year to year, selling off their produce, their
chickens, eggs and butter, edibles as palata
ble to them as to the city buyer, dressing
plainly and stinting themselves, all to make
ends meet and then often failing to do so.
Iltl takes courage and true heroism to do
that.
‘ The merchant gave the key to success by
‘ the experience of a Cobb _county farmer
'who had one acre highly enriched, it having
been part of a stable lot, and adjoining it
were seven acres of ordinary land not so
highly favored. On this acre was made as
much as was produced on the entire seven
acres, and yet seven times the amount of la
bor and time had been expended on the sev
en acres, as was on the one acre, with no
better results. This brought forth the idea
that the man who made one bale of cotton
on one acre while his neighbor only got one
bale from four acres, could better afford to
sell his cotton at ten cents per pound than
the other man could sell his bale at thirty
cents per pound, because the latter had put
forth four times the labor to accomplish the
same result than the former had. "It is
wasted energy and loss of time to spread
over s 0 much territory, when by highly en
riching a small area you can reap better and
more satisfactory harvests. Twenty acres
highly manured, is worth more than sixty
acres poorly fed. Impoverished land can
not reward man as he.deserves, because it
has not in it the properties to produce in
proportion to the labor expended. Penn
sylvania has small farms thoroughly enrich
ed, valued at $2OO per acre, but the abun
dance of crops produced shows the wisdom
of the system. Cotton impoverishes the
soil, and returns none of the elements of
sustenance. Guano is but a temporary
stimulus and lacks the permanency of home
made manures, ‘
Diversified crops, a few acres kighly en
riched and deeply plowed, will give the
farmers of this country increased prosperity
and emancipation from a life-time servitude
to poverty, hard work and meagre living.
He who raises cotton, with guano and pro
visions to buy each year, working poorly
fed land, will upon a close investigation
find it costs him about nine cents a pound
to make his cotton, which is about the aver
age price he receives for it, and he is no
better off at the end of the year than when
he began. A change is absolutely neces
sary.

Tired and Languid Women.
How many women there are of whom
these words are true: “They feel languid
and tired, hardly able to bear their weight
on their feet, the bloom all gone from their
cheeks, irritable and cross without menninF
to be, nerves all upset, worried with the chil
dren, fretted over Piztle things, a burden to
themselves, and yet with no acute disease.”
What a pity it is. But a few bottles of
Parker's g'onic will drive all this away, and

STORE!
- There wasa man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised :gflin. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while ipley sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took a
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he’d sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one pays
for priniers’ ink, the greater is his gain.
