Good morning, Mrs. Editor and all
the correspondents; I come with
£ood news, telling you what a fine
time we had Sunday. Went to an
old-time home-coming meeting. We
heard some good preaching and talks

all had a good time which will long
be remembered.

support.
Now that we have had a very fine
rain and the cotton crop is at least
half gathered, the wise and sensible
thing to do is to get busy and sow
those fall oats in a wide, open fur
row, and the sooner the better. Some
of ours were sown in August last year
and they made before the spring
drouth set in and were a great deal
better than those sown in Novem
ber, notwithstanding Uncle J. Gid
said last winter that January would
' do just as well. *

hindered in her Sunday school work
for the past three weeks on account
of failing eyesight.
Every citizen of Marietta should
read and reread Mr. George F. Mont
gomery's letter in last week’s Jour
nal. It is the soundest and most
sensible article that has been written
for the fair city in a long time. We
do hope that her leading men will
catch the spirit that he has and make
him the leader, lay by all the past
and go to work for the future. Try
out the proposed new plan. It has
worked wonders in other cities where
the old plan had utterly failed. In
ten years Marietta will double in ev
erything except factions and indebt
edness, if those twenty men will
abide their pledge. If not, we all
suffer together just for the conten
tions of a few.‘

Surely when the poet said, “The mel
ancholy days have come,” he meant
an English Autumn, and not Ameri
can Fall.
Rev. J. B. Greshem ably filled his
appointment here Sunday. May his
most excellent sermons not be as the
old adage, ‘‘Out of sight, out of mind”’
—but may they be as seed sown in
good ground that will bring forth a
golden harvest!
Another wedding soon, if— And
Barkis seems to be willin’.

Good morning Jones.
Good morning Mr. Smith; well I hope.
First rate thank you. Any news?
Why yes, old man Bill Jenkins lost some money yesterday.
Heard about it as I came down this morning.
You don’t say! How did that happen?
Why he came down to town yesterday with a load of produce
off his farm, and after selling it he got his check cashed and put
the money in his pocket. Said he owed some of it to a neighbor
| up pear hinr, and in some manner he lost the money out of his
pocket on the way home.
(Smith) Well what do you think of that! Now I bought
that load of produce from Jenkins myself and gave him a check
on the bank of Powder Springs for it, and I told him to leave the
money there on deposit and check against it to pay that neighbor
he owed. So that is what he gets by not following good advice.
Well I'm sorry about it.
