peach seed, two car loads, shipped
from Richmond, Va., to the Gober

shows that the peach industry is just
beginning to get a good start.

THE DIFFERENCE.
A Cobb county farmer on a good,
smooth road can with two horses reach
market quicker and with less expense
than the farmer who has to travel over
a bad road, which probably requires
twice the length of time, to say nothing
of wear and tear of vehicles and har
ness and strain on hotse flesh. Good
roads lessen the time and distance to
market, and bad roads lengthens both.
OUR ADVERTISERS.
The Journal ealls the attention of
its readers to the advertisements that
appear inits columns and asks its
friends to wateh them closely. Our
advertisers want your trade and they
are giving you all the information
about .heir business through these col
umns. It will pay you to keep your
eye on the advertisements in this paper.
They come from the very best business
men in the city and offer rare oppor
tunities for purchasers. The man who
advertises does the business, and the
Journal advertisers do more than their
share of business because they know
where, what and when to advertise.
DRIVE IT HOME,
Some men think by making a great
stir for a little time they gain a perma
nent advantage. This is far from the
the truth. How quickly a thing is for
gotten if it is not continuously adver
tised! Itis said the public have bad
memories, but perhaps they crowd too
much into them. One event usurps
another in importance, and the panora
ma of daily incidents diverts the mird
from ceaseless concentration on one
particalar thing. Day by day the hap
penings increase in number and im
portance, and the public mind is ever
being conducted to a new channel of
shought and cousideration. The ne
cessity for continuons advertising was
never more pronounced than at the
present time. A passing flash causes
but a moment’s refleetion. Permanent
drive-at-home advertising makes an
impression that lasts.—The Travelling
Partner.
BEER GUZZLERS.
The marshals obtained information
that a certain regro man was in the
woods on Whitloek avenue selling beer
the other night. The officers found
about’ twenty negro men, and a few
white men at the scene carousing. As
soon as the marshalsappeared the crowd
began to scatter. The officers com
manded them to halt and began to
fire their pistols. Seven men stopped
but the others kept going and made
their escape. One keg of beer had been
emptied and another keg was about
half full. The beer was poured out on
the ground. Two negroes who had a
fight on the occasion were arrested,
but the men who had been drinking the
beer were turned loose. The negro
man who owned the beer and had been
selling it escaped ard has left town.
A GOOD STORY. |
The following good story is going the
rounds of the press: A wealthy man
was about to die and his physician ad
vised him to make his will. He accord
ingly sent out after a lawyer and when
the lawyer got through writing the
will, the sick man asked how much was
the bill. He replied “$300.” The sick
man teld him to come and kneel down
by the bedside. Then he turned and
asked the doctor how much was his
bill. The doctor rephed “$5(0.” The
sick man told him to come and kneel
on the opposite side of the bed, ‘Now,”
sayshe, “I have the pleasure of dying
‘)ike my Savior died between two
thieves,”
Ttis saMta young
man will be married Wednesday, to
day, toa beautiful young widow of
Tennessee, '
ROOSEVELT AND CLEVELAND.
J. Pierpont Morgan has determined if
possible to defeat the ncmination-of
President Roosevelt in 1904, and if he
fails in his purpose todictate to the
Republican national convention he will
try to secure the nomination of Grever
Cleveland as the Democratic candidate
and support him for President. This
is stated on the authority of a friend
of Mr. Morgan, a man who stands high
in politics and finance, who says that
‘Morgan made this deliberate statement
to him,* He must be defeated for the
nomination and & safe man must be
nominated in hisstead. If he cannot be
defeated for the nomination, then we
must see that the Democrats nominate
a safe man like Cleveland, whom the
business interests can support, and beat
Roosevelt at the polis,”’—Chicago Inter-
Ocean, ;
The Democrats in the south and west
would be in a quandary which tosup
portin such an event—Roosevelt or
Cleveland, The latter seems to be
good enough Republican in his ideas
and governmental policies to suit the
trusts and Republicans, or Morgan
wouldn’t want him,
STAY HERE. o
Our friend, J. C. Holcomb, of Nobil
ity, Texas, sends us some newspapers
of his locality containing lists of farms
for sale at prices which are astonishing
here. Much of the black land is quoted
at $45 per acre and some for $B5 and
$lOO per acre. A very little is priced as
low as $2O per acre. It isour opinion
that Georgia land at $7 to $l5 per acre
ig abetterinvestment,—Calhoun Times.
That is our opinion, too, and besides
Georgia with her healthy climate and
pure water is a better place to live. To
pay that price for Texas land requires
an outlay of money that the yield is not
much better in proportion to the yield
in Georgia, besides you have to pay 75
cents to $l.OO to get your cotton picked
and import Mexicans oftentimes to do
it. Stay in Georgia.
The lands of Cobb county will pro
duce as fine crops of cereals, potatoes,
fruits and cotton as any in the world
and thereis no necessity of anyone
hunting a better country to engage in
farming. The very best climatic condi
tions prevail here for health and long
life. We have water powers capable of
turning the wheels of industryif util
ized. 'Home seekers can do no better
than come to old Cobb county and make
their home.
A NICE MARKET.
We' dropped into Herrin’s Market
and found Mr. Ed Herrin, Mr. Will
Herrin, assistants and bookkeeper, all
busy in attending to a rush of custom
ers, who have found out that this mar
ket has taken on new life and energy in
supplying the wants of the community.
Everything was clean and neat, sys
tematically run, orders promptly filled
and promptly delivered. They are
carrying fresh fish, fresh oysters, hams,
miutton chops, mutton roast, fresh
pork, all pork sausage, mixed sausage,
fresh butter ete., and they are giving
the highest satisfaction to customers.
New patrons are being added daily and
all seem pleased. Phone orders re
ceive prompt attention. These clever
and courfeuos people are giving Mar
fetta a market thatisa credit to the
town. If you are nota customer, you
want to drop in and see how well you
will be treated dnd what nice meats
youcan getat prices that meet the
present conditions of ‘live and let
iive.” It is the purpose of the man
agers to make Herrin’s Market the
most up-to-date and attractive of any
market and see that the people are
supplied with the best and freshest
meats at reasonable prices. Call and
see these clever people.
THE GREAT BARLOW MINSTRELS.
On next Thursday night the Grest
Barlow Minstrels which gave the pa
trons of this city on their last visit en
tire satisfaction, will appear at the
Opera House in another innovation in
minstrely, considerably improved in
every respect, which has placed this
organization among the leaders this
season. The company carry besides
their Private Pullman Sleeper a ecar
load of scenery which is undoubtedly the
most magnificent ever displayed in the
theatre in this city, and the costumes
are undoubtedly the handsomest worn
in minstrely. Manager J. A. Cogburn
has spared no expense in equipping the
company with all the requirements,
and almost every act is beautifully
mounted with special scenery. A
feature in the company is the musie,
as well as the singers and dancers, and
the public may be assured that they
will have an oppcrtunity to witness one
of the best attractions that has ever
visited the city. A street paradewill
be given on the day of the performance
at ncon,and a band concert in front of
the theatre at 7:30 P. M. Reserved
seats at Mosher’s. Prices 23, 35, 50 and
75 cents,
Everybody knows thata merchant
keeps a line of goods to sell, which is
his stock in trade. We also keep space
to seil to advertisers, which is our stoek
in trade. Therefore do not expeet us
to give away our stock in trade any
more than the grocers or other busi
ness men do theirs, for we, like they,
are not in this kind of busiress merely
for the honor or glory that is in it.—
Titusville, (Fa) Advocate.
