“TrRURSDAY. MorNING, FEB. 23, 1899.
KILLED. ,
A fatal accident occurred near Aec
worth on iast Saturday. Mr. Linn
Nichols, a highly esteemed and well-to
do farmer, was cutting down a tree on
his place. The tree in falling lodged
in the forks of another tree. In priz
ing the tree from its lodgement, the
tree «fell on Mr. Nichols, breaking his
neck, resulting in almost instant death.
The news ecarried sorrow to many
hearts. He leaves a wife and several
children. (
A DOG CLIMBS A TREE.
Mr. W. M. Boatner, who lives on
» Burnt Hickory road, had a novel expe
rience rabbit hunting on Tuesday of
last week. He had a little fice dog
with him, which chased a rabbit up a
hollow hickory tree, broken off about
twenty feet from the ground. The fice
dog climbed the hollow tree and came
out at the top, and tried to get to the
rabbit which had entered a hollow
prong of the tree. Mr. Boatner got a
ladder and took the little dog from the
top of the broken tree and then ecut
down the tree and got the rabbit.
A SCRAP.
Henry Jones, colored. living four
miles south of Marietta, came into
to town Sunday to consult Dr. Nolan.
The negro had a two inch gash cut to
the bone on his forehead, between the
eyes, and a three inch gash on his hand
and several smaller ones. He was ask
ed what was the matter. He replied:
“Jest been having alittle scrap wid
my wife. She hit me wid a rock on my
head an’ cut me on de han’ wid a
knife.”” *'Did you do anything to her?”
*Oh, yes, I sorter tended to her.”
Jones got his wounds dressed and re
turned to his “happy home.”
.
CAUGHT.
Two weeks ago the shoe shop of Mr,
Frank Cunningham was broken open and
two pairs of shoes taken. On Saturday
Marshal Mell arrested Ed Warren, a
colored boy, who had a pair of the shoes
on his feet. The shoes were identified
by Mr. Cunningham as the stolen prop
erty. The negro confessed and said
Will Bennett, another negro boy, was
with him in the burglary. Bennett
was arrested also, and he acknowledged
that he was a party to’ the unlawful
act. They say that Manboy Sparks,
colored, made up the trio of burglars
that did the work. Sparks is in Chat
tanooga.
BURGLARY.
On Mouday night Jast at Woodstoek,
burglars prized open the front door of
Latham & Rusk’s store, entered, and
“hey found the safe not locked. From
the safe they took over $lOO.OO in cash
and some checks. The checks were
afterwards found outdoors where they
were thrown away. They carried off
some clothing, hhts, ladies shoes, and
part of a cheese. They ate some of the
cheese on the railroad. Two unknown
white men were seen loating around
Woodstoek that evening up to ten
o’olock. Some of the cheese was found
a few miles north of Marietta as if cast
away, and itz evidence that the bur
glars came in this direction. TLatham
and Rusk were here Tuesday on the
hunt for the thieves.
A COMING MONEY MAKER,
Scientists have made the discovery
that seven pounds of granulated sugar
can be made from one gallon of good
symp, which can be sold for 5 to Hlg !
cents per pound. As sugar is alwnys‘
salable and enters inte so many du-i
mestie and other uses, having a_ sus
taining power in feeding the museles
and making man vigorous, it can be
reddily seen that the making of good
cane syrup by our Cobb county farm
ers, can be made very profitable. Thou
sands of barrels of syrup have been
shipped from South Georgia and Flori
da to Boston and to sugar factories,
thas opening a practically new industry
to take the place of too mueh eotton
cultivation. The :II)IYRNAI‘ seeks to
help our farmers on all lines that will
acerue to their advantage and trust
they will investigate this matter and
to some extent help supply this increas
ing demand for cane syrup. s
OUT OF JOINT. ’
Evidently there is something not ex
actly right somewhere. We have the
best sort of lands, rich in all that na
ture puts into soil ; money, we are told
by the Atlanta and New York papers,
is o drug in the market, millions in the
banks and can be had at a very small
interest, 3% percent; we have ten
thousands of men and women willing
to work to earn the money to buy
things that make life pleasant, but we
lack the combination that would make
it possible for us to get the best possi
ble results from these elements that
under proper *conditions could and
would insure competence to every per
son in the country, with abundance to
spare for those of other nations. We
are not in sympathy with those who
see no good in the world, no hope for
the toiler, and whose argument, boiled
down, is practically a kick against God
and the millipnaire, because the former
didn’t construct the universe on dif
ferent lines, and the latter because he
doesn’t give ell he has to the kicker
and commit suicide. But it doesn’t
seem reasonable that the power of men,
if honest and intelligent, could so ar
range productive industry and com
merce, without forming trusts to rob
people, and give honorable work to
every person who wants work that
they may support these dependent
upon them.
Every department of business seems
to have formed a combination except
the producers. They are the most
liberal class of people in the world and
suffer most from trusts. If they could
come together in a gigantic combine
they would have a cinch on all the
world.
FARMERS’ INSTITUTES.
Mr. J. G. J. Campbell, of Milwaukee,
Wis., who is spending the winter in
Marietta, on reading our article on
farmers’ institutes, has left with us a
book of 270 pages, illustrated, callea
Bulletin No. 12, of Wiscomsin Farmers’
Institutes held in 1898. There are
more than a hundred of these insti
tutes in the state of Wiscongin, which
hold two day meetings in the farming
districts. They are under the foster
ing care of the State College of Agri
culture, and are for practical instrue
tion and conferences on all- matters
pertaining to the farm and farm life.
All subjects on farming, orchard,
stock, dairy, apiary, &e., are discussed
at the institutes, questions put and
answered, essays read, music inter
spersed, and well set tables prepared.
The ladies take a prominent part and
the social feature is one that gives in
terest to them at all times. The result
is, that those who attend these farm
ers institutes are the progressive farm
ers and imbibe a spirit of improve
ment. The changing conditions in the
produetion and distribution of crops,
the raising of live stock and the ne
cessity of thorough knowledge of the
markets, make these institutes inval
uable to the farmer. These institutes
are similar to the agricultural clubs of
Cobb county and in the state, and
should be given more attention and
thought. We want to see them gen
eral, throughout the state and south.
| COMPLETED.
The new passenger station building
is completed and ready to be turned
over to the W. & A. Railroad authori
ties. The architect and superinten
dent and civil engineer are highly
pleased with the workmanship and ma
terial and compliment Mr. C. E. Hen
derson, the eccntractor, highly upon
the satisfactory manner in which he
executed the work. They say itis the
best job of work they ever had done.
The building is of .pressed brick and
marble trimmings and the interior fin
ish shows up elegantly. The furniture
has arrived and has been placed in the
building. The offices will soon be 02-
cupied and ready for publie travel and
business.
k A WONDERFUL TOOL. v
Mr. P. E. Shortt, of Virginia, is ex
hibiting one of the most useful mechan
ical appliances on our streets we have
[ever seen—in fact a whole tool box
{wit-hin itself. If ever a handy little
’appnratus is invaluable, it is Mr.
Shortt’s monkey wreneh, brace, and
ibit, serew driver, wagon or carriage
wrench, gimlet maker, rivet maker,
’vice and plumber’s wrench. In every
one of these capacities it works like a
Icharm. Another great virtue about it
is that it is sold so cheaply that any
body can afford to buy it. Mr, Shortt
also exhibits a handy patent jack for
oiling buggies and wagons which has
great merit. By its use you never
oose a washer nor need you soil your
finest Sunday suit. The very best farm
ers in our county are buying these
tools, men who know a good thing at a
glance” We have ordered one of the
tools.
Mr. Short is selling county rights
and certainly has spmething worthy of
the attenticn of any-man who wants to
turn an honest dollar quickly. You
ought to see it by all means. Mr. Shortt
can be found at the Elmwood Hotel.
“Do you think you could learn
to love me, Maud?’ “I don’t
know, George, she answered soft
ly, ““I might. I learned German
once.” . é
