MARIETTA NOTES.
The Brighton is still on the go.
Farmers are already buying it for their
Spring crops.
The question is asked, “who is
Whale bone ?”
An interesting communication
will appear in next issue.
Several printers, out of work,
have called on us [of late.
The hand shaking season is
fairly upon us and the candidates treat
goes well.
We told you so! Christmas is
almost upon us and narry red where

Several young ladies from At
lanta have been visiting friends in the
city.
Dr. Greer has purchased the
property adjoining the store of Mr.
Neese and is putting it in thorough re
pair.
Wood vendors find tjje trade
lively.
L. S. Northcutt & Go. will
shortly occupy the vacant store in Mc-
Clatcliey’s block.
J. J. Northcutt & Son, will
soon remove to the building just finish
ed by Mr. J. R. Winters.
’Tis now that the urchin
maketh the air to resound with the j
hideous toot of the Christmas horn: j
Go to Elsas store and look at.
his new goods, choice and cheap.
Notice is given in the Carters-!
ville Free Press, that that paper is soon j
to become the official organ of Bartow j
County. AVe congratulate the propri- j
etors upon their success.
We regret to hear of a very se- :
rious arcident to our highly esteemed j
citizen, Dr. Barrow. AVe learn that by I
in walking he fell and fractured |
bones f one of bis legs.
We are pissed to see W. C.
MeLellan back to liis old place in charge j
of the Liquor Department of L. C. j
AlcLellan, and that the stock of pure old
Liquors will be kept up to the old |
standard.

Can’t you send us a load of
wood, a busljel or two of turnips or in
fact anything of that description, as
subscription to this paper. A great j
many subscribers have not paid up j
and we prefer eomodities of the kinds j
mentioned to —to, nothing.
We heard it rumored at Lost
Mountain last Sunday that Mr. John i
Johns, a citizen of that neighborhood j
had returned from a trip to Chattanoo- j
ga with all the symptoms of a genuine j
case of yellow fever.
We thought surely Sunday it
would snow, but Monday brought us
a steady drizzle. The following night
however, we were favored with a slight
sprinkling of snow.
The lire alarm was sounded J
Monday night at about 11 o’clock.—
Those nearest the conflagration ascer
tained that the flames issued from a
house on the premises of Miss Treze
vant and quickly did all in their power
to arrest the progress of the element.—
Our efficient firemen were on hand and
exerted themselves to their utmost, but
again as heretofore they were debarred
in their efforts by the non-contiguity of
water. The bouse was destroyed and
several others near it were nearly igni- i
ted.
Mt. Zion Occasional.
We regret very much to learn
that our esteemed friend Mrs. J.
It. Ward, is quite sick, but trust
that she will soon he well and
will resune her place at Sabbath
School where she is missed by
her many friends.
The Sabbath School at Mt. Zi
on has not gone into winter quar
ters yet and trust that it will not,
as wo hope to have anew Chap
el before a great while.
Several of the boys think of go
ing West this winter.
The young people had a social
gathering at Mr. R. C. Irwin’s
Tuesday evening, December 3rd.
We learn that it was one of the
most pleasant entertainments of
the season. It could not have
been otherwise, as Mrs. Irwin
knows how to make all enjoy
themselves.
They say that Mr. Sam Earle is
perambulating in the suburbs of
our neighborhood.
Misses Lichtenstadt and Rob
inson of Atlanta, who have been
visiting Mrs. Butler, returned
to their homes this week.
AVl)at happy hour’s the boys enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still,
But there is left an aching void,
That they alone can fill.

Roswell Notes.
Something new under the Sun.-
Roswell has an anti-saw and gin
society. For further particulars,
enquire of Fowler or King of this
place.
Archy Smith, jr., while riding
to his work a few days ago, was
thrown from his horse; he says
the fall was nothing, but stopping
so sudden was what hurt.
The new pastor, Rev. Mr. Cofer,
preached his first sermon to a full
house at the M. E. church last
Sunday. There seemed to be a
general turn out of the people to
bid him welcome.
Thanksgiving day was but poor

Ring Papers.
Practical Suggestions—Effects !
of Legal Advertising—Mo
nopolies—How the Georgia
Senate is Ring-Bound.
Editors Augusta (Eve.) Neivs.
Another view of the “Press *
Ring” monopoly is worth notie- j
ing in this discussion, as it has an
intimate relation to political af- ;
fairs.
Under a system that gives the
legal printing to certaian papers,
without competition, not only are
the people charged extravagant
prices, but the papers so enriched
become slaves to the public offi
cials who thus enrich them.
The Columbus Times says we j
have too many investigations, as
nothing ever comes of them. Of
course not. The “Ring Papers”
dare not even call attention to the
slightest neglect ®f duty on the
part of public officials from whom
they receive advertising patron
age. And as to railroad rings,
convict lease rings, wild land fi
fa rings and such like, no expo- j
sure need bo looked for from
newspapers whose ebitors, pub
lishers or kinsmen are members
of the rings to be exposed.
I say, therefore, that so long as
we ha\ r e but one party in Geor
gia, and the press of the State is
largely ring bound, it is useless
to hope for reform and retrench
ment. When the Constitutional
Convention attempted to reduce
offices and salaries, the “Ring Pa
pers” cried out against it and
have kept up the fight, and will
keep it up so long as they can
prevent the abolishment of a sin
gle office or the reduction of a
single salary.
Bad men not unfrequntly per
petuate themselves in office
through a liberal dispensation of
public or legal printing. Having
control of the matter, as a mo
nopoly, they can easily arrange
| terms with newspaper men, and
the unfortunates who are obliged
to advertise are freely bled in
their pockets to keep up these
combinations.
The fight in the Legislature
during the past ten days over the
bill to provide for giving notice
of intention to apply for local
legislation is full of suggestions
on this subject. After quite a
contest in the House the bill was
so amended that in counties ha-v
ing no newspaper the notice can
be posted on the court house
door. The Senate, which seems
to be wholly in the power of tho
i “ring papers,” refused to accept
| the amendment, and sent it back
|to the House. Again the House
endorsed it by a small vote and
returned it to the Senate, hut
that body refused to accept the
amendment,and the whole matter
is at present in the hands of a
joint conference committee.
Now what seems to he a sipall
matter in this connection is real
ly a large one to the “ring pa
pers.” Some of them have the
| legal advertising, or the sheriffs’
sales, of several counties in which
ino papers are published. Kill
off this amendment and these
| “ring papers” have a fat slice of
; advertising. The people may be
poor, and the local bill to be ad
| vertised may be one seeking re
i lief from oppressive taxation or
some other burden, but the mo
nopoly demands and secures its
highest rates for the publication
of the notice.
In counties containing cities,
| where the legal advertising and
public printing is very extensive
! this monopoly of the ring be
comes a dangerous power. A
side from its political trickery, it
charges enormous rates for its
work. This was plainly shown in
Columbus, Ga., when the Daily
Times started a contest with the
Daily Enquirer for the city print
ing. Tax payers opened their eyes
when they saw what a great dif
ference there was in prices as
soon as the monopoly was broken.
Other cities have had a similar
experience.
I hope that the anti ring papers,
although few in number, may yet
be able to redeem the people of
Georgia from convention trick
sters, printing and advertising
monopolies, and rings and com
binations of all kinds. Then, and
then only, shall we have real
prosperity and honest efforts for
retrenchment and reform in all
public offices.
