And Attempt is Made
To Burn Them.
Henry Brooks, a negro living on
the farm of Mr. W. D. Cross at the
foot of Kennesaw mountain, is alleg
ed to have murdered his wife and
baby last Friday night, and tried
to burn their bodies.
The negro is only about twenty
years old and is now in jail, having
been quickly located and arrested
by Sheriff Swanson.
The negro has not confessed to
the crime, but a strong chain of
evidence is being forged around him
by the sheriff's force.
The woman and baby had both
been choked to death and their
bodies saturated in kerosene oil, but
for some reason the ‘flames went
out, and the house was not damaged,
except a hole burned in the floor.
The baby was about ten months
old.

Train Found Guilty For
The Second Time.
John Nolan, the bandit who bold
ly held up the Louisville and Nash

months ago, and who was sentenced
to twenty years in the penitentiary
by Judge Patterson, was again
found guilty Wednesday afternoon,
and resentenced for twenty years.
Nolan made an appeal for a new
trial and, the Court of Appeals or
dered his case retried, but Solicitor

The corn c¢lub bovs and can
ning club girls are going to
produce thousands of dollars
of wealth in Cobb County
next year if we have usual
seasons, but we wonder how
much of this wealth will re
main in Cobb County and
how much will be sent away
for good.
Mr. Chas. J. Haden, President of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce, said
that we think General Sherman’s de
struction of groperty in Georgia was
awful, yet “that section from which
the invading army came in is taking
from Georgia every year, in the si
lent, legitimate channels of trade,
more money than Sherman destroy
ed in his march to the sea.”
Cobb County might well think about
this idea along several lines. It is
not the amount of wealth we pro
duce but the amount we keep that
will make Cobb County rich. There
are many necessary articles which
Cobb County dees.not produce, and
which must be purchased by our
merchants from other places, but
every dime and quarter ‘that can be
kept at home helps toward better
prices for farm produce, better wages
for labor, better schools, better
churches, better newspapers and
bigger bank balances; enhancing
real estate and promoting general
prosperity. If this principle is ap
plied on what products we now
have, we shall soon accumulate cap
ital to promote enterprises for the
production of other articles.
And this idea is in harmony with
God’s law of economy. It would be
wasteful extravagance when ship
ping hosiery from Marietta to Ac
worth, Powder Springs orother Cobb
Countv towns to send it by way of
New York. paying two freights, four
drayages, and a middleman’s profit.
Their hosiery is one article at least
that Cobb County men can know is
both home-made and splendid value,
if they wear only the “Radium”
brand. Ten cents a pair is cheap
enough price for any man no matter
how poor, and the 25 cent sellers are
fine and genteel enough quality for
any man no matter how rich.
We thank Cobb County merchants
and people for the favor they have
-shown “Radium” half-hose and next
week we expectto publish the names
of all the merchants who now have
“Radiums” on sale.
