They are soliciting Rev. J. Tom Gib
son to run for the state senate over in
Haralson county, but Tom says the “fur

stay out of a seramble. Sensible, Tom.
The blizzard that prevailed in New
York on Thursday night brought six
inches of gnow and much suffering. It
is said 36,000 people are out of employ

Judge Emory Speer of the United
States Court says the ‘‘locker club” is
not only a violation of the State law,
but of the United States law. He says
every ‘‘locker’” and each member of a
locker is subject to $25 tax, and on fail
ure to 80 pay, is liable to be indicted.
Judge Fite has had the grand jury of
the Bartow Superior court to find an
indictment against Mr. Rose, of Chat

indiotment, and appeal to higher court
to settle the point.
The Rome-Tribune Herald, under

has just started tc do great things.

that he will not be candidate for Unit

of the people.
Estes Jobrson hsas sold the Ellijay
Times to a stock company. The new
editor is C. W. Bramlett. He says he
“is editor of the Times, is a Justice of
the Peace, and takes in washing for the
Guthman steam laundry.” With all
these things to keep him busy, Mr.
Bramlett ought to make a living.
Senator Clay’s resolution calling on
the postmaster general for information
concerning delays in the running of
mail trains, was passed, as was a bill
providing for the construction of a

river from Washington to the National

The pay in advance ruling of the post
office department will do more to re
duce the mails on the R. F. D. routes
than anything else, and a reduction of
the packages carried means a reduction
of the service generally. The order is
all right from the standpoint of the
publisher of & legitimate newspaper,
but it is a knoek-out blow for the eoun
try people who depend cn the free rural
anail service, unless they will keep their
subscriptions paid in advance,
CONFEDERATE PENSIONROLL WILL
| SOON DECREASE.
' In his annual report, fwhich was sub
imitted to Governor Hoke Smith last
Thursday, Commissioner of Pensions J.
W. Lindsey shows that within a year
or two those drawing rewards from the
State will begin to decrease, unless the
provisions are extended. During 1807,
1,008 were taken from the lists by death,
while 1,415 were added thereto.
| Those put on consisted of 1,044 indi
gent soldiers, 334 indigent widows, 34
;disabled goldiers and three widows.
l’rhuse who died consisted of 521 indi
gent soldiers, 178 indigent widows, 141
id isabled soldiers and 166 widows. The
‘total number on the rolls was 16,713,
and the amount paid out was $902,-
685 65, an increase of $24,937.07 over the
previcus year.
Referring to alleged frauds, the com
misgioner says that complaints are as
numerous as evar, and that the Depart
ment is almost helpless when it comes
to ferreting them out. He saye that
the rolls should be purged of those not
belonging there, and declares that the
grand juries alone can be relied on to
do this.
~ CLEVELAND-TOWERS.
The marriage of Miss Carrie Cleve
land, of Spartanburg, 8. C., and Mr. A,
A. Towers, of Gadsden, Ala, formerly
of Marietta, took place Thursday noon,
January 23rd, at the Advent church,
The happy couple left immediately for
Gadsden.
The Journal extends congratulations
and good wighes to the happy couple,
1 - PISTOL-TOTING.
A good deal has been said recently
about the pistol-toter. Last year in
South Carolina there were 158 homi
cides, and nearly every one of them is
attributed to the habit of carrying con
cealed weapons. I have no idea what
Georgia’s record in this line was for the
past year, but I am satisfied that a
great mary deaths were the outcome
of the practice.
There is no excuse for the pistol
toting habit, and it should not be tol
erated. We have laws against it, but
they are not enforced. Many a man to
day would not have the brand of Cain
upon him if he had left his pistol at
home. A hot temper, a drink or two of
whiskey and a gan in the hip pocket
make a combination that is as danger
ous as can be imagined. The slightest
offense provokes any one of this class to
deeds of violence that will cause regret
and sorrow as long as he lives. It isas
important to enforce the law against
pistol-toting as it i 8 to enforce the law
againct the selling of whiskey.—A, P,
H., in Dublin Times.
SAME HERE.
The Enterprise is still ‘“'agin’’ the
election of judges by the people, and
we are in favor of the people having
plenty of power too. But there are some
offices that ought to be taken out of the
wrangles of politice, and this is one of
them.—Mcßae Enterprise.
Yes, the judges and solicitors should
not have to electioneer with the people
for their votes. It is just ‘*human’’ for
prejudice and passion to enter into the
minds of the successful candidates when
they go to try those who may have
voted against them or said something
hard about them. They are creatures
of friendship or enmity, and these sway
diseretion in action and decision Sep
arate the judiciary from the corruption
of elections as run these days. Let the
governor appoint and the senate con
firm.
WoULD RAISE THE PAY.
A bill to raise the pay of rural free
delivery carriete from $75 to $9O a
month has been introduced in congress
by Judge W. C. Adamson, of the Fourth
district. He differs in his views with
the post-office department concerning
the plan formulated and now in opera
tion, to pay the men on the longest
routes only $75. It is his ambition to
change the system, equalizing the
length of the routes, and giving all the
carriers the same salary.
Darien has a factory for canning sweet
potatoes. The product is said to be
excellent, and the owngrs find ready
sale for their output—Blakely Re

Marietta has a factory that not only
cans sweet potatoes, but tomatoes,
peaches, corn, ete., and the produet of
all is not only very nice, but finds ready

NEW POSTAL REGULATION.
A new postal regulatiun says: “A
reasonable time will be allowed pub
lishers to secure renewals of subserip
tions, but unless subseriptions are ex
pressly renewed after the term for
‘which they are paid, with the following
periods: Weeklies within 12 months,
they shall not be counted in the legiti
mate list of subseribers, and copies
mailed on account thereof shall not be
accepted for mailing at the second-class
poustage rate, ete.”’
No papers allowed on the free list,
Our subseribers who arein arrears with
their subscriptions will have to pay up;
paper will not be allowed tc pass
through the mail unless one cent is
placed on each paper, which we cannot
afford to do.
Due notice is thus given, and those in
arrears a 8 much as twelve mouths will
have to be dropped from our list. Aet
promptly.

THE SAFETY OF BANK DEPOSITS depends not
8o much upon the bank’s capital and surplus as
upon the judicious managemeut of those funds, which
means absolute conservatism in matters of loans and
investments.
This feature is one to which the officers and direz
tore of the Marietta Trust and Banking Company give
the most careful consideration; 1n every instancs fore
going the possibility of gain, rather than make such
loans as would involve any risk,
Upon the merit of the eminently successful record '
and high character of this bank we solicit your account.
