| TWO BRIGHT GIRLS.
The prize of $5.00 in gold, offered by
J. W. Legg & Co. for the best essay on
*‘The Confederacy in 1862, written by
any boy or girl under eighteen years of
age in the city schools, was won by Miss
Emma Pope Moss, of the second grade
High School. The prize cf $5.00 in
gold, also offered by J. W. Legg & Co.
for the best essay on the same subject,
writen by any boy or girl from the
country schoolg, was won by Miss Mary
Gantt Kolb. These essays reflect great
credit upon these young girls, and show
careful study and a thorough knowl
edge of the subject in hand. Mr. Legg
has been very generous 1n giving these
prizes, and it has done a great deal in
encouraging the young people to study
the history of a cause which should be
dear to every Southerner. '
To the Voters of Cobb
County=-=Save $lO,OOO.
% The tax payers of the county have
ecided to vote for measures first and
men seconda.
Sometime ago Mr. H. B. Moss dis
covered that the county was paying all
the court expenses while the misde
meanor convicts were being hired out
at from $10,000.00 to $12,000.00 per year
and all their hire appropriated by the
ofticers of Court. He brought the mat
ter before the grand jury. They then
demanded that this money be put into
the county tressury. For six months,
at his, (Mr. Moss’s) instance the Ordi
dinary had this fund, as it aceumula
ted, put into the country treasury, and
in this time it amounted to $5,300.00,
The SBupreme Court then decided that,
as the law now stards, the officers can
still take this money and the people
gtill pay the court expenses. Hence,
the officers are now appropriating this
money and the people are paying the
Court expenses. Mr. Moss proposes, if
elected to the legislature, that he will
introduce a bill and work for ics pass
age to muke the officers put this money
into the county treasury and reduce
the rate of taxation on our property.
This will pay a!l the eourt expenses
and pay a handsome profit besides.
By this legislation the tax payess of
the county will save about ten thou
sand dollars each year, reddcing the
taxes about one-fourth. g
Join us and let us elect Moss as a
matter of business economy.

~ The season for gardening both of
flowers and vegetables is now begin
nirg, and the chicken or other fowl
that is allowed to run on the street is
a nuisance, pure and simple. Keep all
the chickens you want to, but keep
them shut up in a chicken yard, with
their wings clipped, and don’t allow
them to disturb your neighbor’s flow
ers or his vegetable garden. He has a
perfect right to cultivate his garden
without any fence around it, if he wants
to, and your chickens have no right to
bother him in doing 80, $0 keep them
at home, thus avoid fusses, hard feel
ings, and dead chickens.—Elberton
