A colored maf named John Brownlee,
was killed by the 6:45 saquthbound pas
senger train on last Thursday night
below Marietta, between Joyner’s
crossing and the railroad shanties.
Brownlee had formerly lived at Mr. T.
A. Baldwin’s, at Kennesaw, but had
been in South Carolina for the past
fourteen months. He had written to
his father at Big Shanty that he would
return home, and the presumption is
he was walking home on the fatal
night. The engineer of the train says
he remembered when the engine struck
some obstacle on the track and so
reported. The switch engine went
down and brought the body to Mariet
ta depot, where coroner M. R. Lyon
held an inquest. , A broken bottle was
found at the place where he was killed,
and it is supposed he must have been
under the influence of whisky. One
more unfortunate gone to his grave.

The editor of the Gibson (Ga.) Ban

will put you right before the world. If
you have company .tell us—if you are
not ashamed of your visitor. If you
have a party or gathering of any kind,
bring around the cake;seven or eight
pies and a side of ham, not necessarily
to eat, but just to show your apprecia
tion and friendship. You needn’t
mind invitihg us, as it may be too cool
for our wardrobe. We want the news
—that’s all.”’

The hog is most profitable as a sub
ordinate department. Quicker returns
come from him than from horses, cat
tle or sheep. He pays the rents in
European ;countries, lifts the mort
gages in the Northern States, and, in
conjunection with the cow, he will re
deem the worn-out cotton and tobacco
fields of the South, No agricultural
people thrive who buy grain or meats
and pay for them with the price of
other farm products. The farmer is
most independent who finds at least
sustenance for his family from his
fields, flocks and herds.
JourNAL Telephone, No. 55.
Col. P. D. McCleskey has been ap
pointed by Solicitor Huteherson, as his
assistant. Hon. N. A'Morris has been
energetically acting in that eapacity
heretofore. Col. McCleskey moved to
this place from Alpharetta over a year
ago where he was ordinary of the coun
ty. He will no doubt make a very ef
ficient assistant in the important duties
that are to be performed. Hon. N. A
Morris, in regard te the change, said:
f‘Owing to the increase of our law firm’s
civil practice, it demands more atten
tion, and I could not devote the time
that was necessary to assist in the
prosecutions of the ecriminal cases
throughout the circuit. Last year I
could not attend more than half of the
courts in the eircuit, and this fall I
could not attend any on account of
being in the legislature. I have been
intimately associated with Hon. Thos.
Hutcherson in his work for the past
two years and I believe in him the
Blue Ridge Circuit can congratulate
itsell on having the most efficierit
prosecuting officer in the state of
Georgia. In the future I will devote
my entire attention to our practice,
both civil and criminal.” ;
Is religion one of the fine arts, that
it should consist simply in going to
meeting in good clothes every Sunday,
saying grace at table, and praying
night and morning? Are we so literai
ly a flock that we have nothing to do
but to be fed all the year, yielding only
the annual fleece which forms our pas
tor’s salary?—Exchange. No, not by a
good deal. But the man who can go
out in this busy world in the marts of
trade, coming in contact with all kinds
of people with different temperaments,
likes and dislikes, may count himself
fortunate if he eamn earn money enough
to wear good clothes on Sunday and
pay the preacher his salary and at the
same time retain ‘‘religion” enough to
say ‘‘grace’ at the table.
The ‘latter part of last week nearly
every passenger train was crowded
with discharged United States soldiers,
going home. They acted disgraeefully
in getting drunk, whooping, yelling
and shooting off their pistols. It was
almost dangerous to travel on the train
with them. They should have had a
special ear to thgmselves, so ladies and
other passengers could have traveled
without having to mix and hear the
profanity and vulgar language of these
fellows, who seemed to totally ignore
the presence of decent people or their
rights. The conductors could do noth
ing with them in preserving order on
the trains.
Small profits and quick returns is a
grand business principle. Better to
deal with & muititude than with a few.
A thousand nimble nickles are better
than a hundred slow dollars. Turning
over a stock and money rapidly means
successful business, and those. who
make the least margins of profit and
sell the most goods are generally the
biggest advertisers.
Dr. Woodward, of Atlanta, is treat
ing Mr. Johnnie Thompson, of this

The rapid development of these quar

A man might just as well try to look
