Mr. Nesbitt Osborn, eighteen years

sad accident on last Friday at noon.
He was returning from his home, on
Powder Springs street, with a view of
going to Atlanta. He heard tie south
bound Louisville and Nashville passen
ger train leave the depot, and he stop
ped at the railrosd crossing, on Powder
Springs street, to ‘‘swing on.” The
train was going very fast, and Mr. Os
born made an effort to catch the hand
railing, missed his hold, the car struck
bim back of the head, knocking him
down. Hisfeet went under the car
wheels—the left foot was severed en

both feet being amputated about three
inchee above the ankles.

NEAR BEER SALOONS
CLOSED 00T,
s
The action of the Mayor and Council
on Monday night in passing ordinances
restricting the ‘‘near beer’’ saloons, as
published in the proceedings in this is
sue, proved the right remedy, and re
sulted in the closing up of the only two
*‘near beer”’ saloons in Marietta, the
owners of the same agreeing to quit
the businees here if they were no pen
alties imposed. Mayor Dobbs consent
ed and allowed them do so, and the sa
loons are no more. It is a good rid
dance and the Mayor and Council are
to be commended for their action.
They have persistently hammered away
on theee saloons until they have got
rid of them. City Attorney Clay drew
the ordinances that were adopted.

DEATH uoF MR. M. L. KIRK.
We regret to chronicle the death of
Mr. Mark L. Kirk, which occurred at
his home, near Kennesaw Mountain, on
last Thursday evening about 8 o'clock,
of heart failure.
Mr. Kirk was apparently in good
health—a stout, fleshy man—but had
been sick for a day or two. Hissudden
death, however, was a great shock to
his numerous friends. He was about
55 years old, and was a substantial, in
dustrious farmer, having the respect
and esteem of all who knew him. He
leaves a wife and a number of relatives
to mourn his untimely departure. He
was & member of the New Salem Bap
tist Church, and was buried at the New
Salem cemetery on Friday afternoon.
Rev. A. R. Bond conducted the funeral
services. Our sympathy is extended to
the bereaved.

CRAIG-CHRISTIAN.
On Wednesday evening, the 16th
108 t., at the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Craig, in Law
renceville, Georgia, occurred the mar
riage of Miss Ida Craig to Mr. Paul M.
Christian. Rev. O. L. Kelley performed
the ceremony. They are boarding at
the Cornet House, but will go to house
keeping soon. The groom is the son of
Rev. Elam Christian, and formerly re
sided in Marietta. His friends here
waft good wishes to him and his lovely
bride.
NIGHT RIDERS.
Night riders have posted written no
tices, painted with red hands, on sev
eral gins in Gwinnett county, Ga.,
warning proprietors that their gins
‘would be burned to the ground should
a bale of cotton be ginned before the
price of cotton reached 12cents a pound.
It is reported that similar warnings are
being posted on many ging over the
courtry as well as oil mills.
It is.hoped the above 18 not true, It
would“breed a bad state of affairs if it
should begin. It would bring disaster
in place of prosperity, not to say a de
moralization of lsbor that would be
productive of evil. _
We regrat tc learn that Mr. Dan Frey
is quite sick at his home in the country.
