INVITATION TO GEORGIA.

| ne Undersigned, CltiHOho VI COOi
gia, cordially indorse the efforts that
are being made to induce the immi-
grafton of industrious and enterpri-
sing citizens from the North and else
where to our State.
We are satisfied in our own minds,
in view of the advantage of soil, eli
mate, health, transportation and So
ciety here, that we can and will do
as much as can be done in any other
section of the country for the inter-
est and happiness of every immigrant
of good morals and habits who may
choose to cast his or her lot among
us.
We will give a cordial welcome
and every protection in the rights
of person and property, 20 the de-
serving stranger. come from what
quarter he may. Lands are album
dant and cheap, with timber sufficient
generally for plantation purposes.
Peaches, apples, pears, plams, figs,
grapes, Strawberries, raspberries-
all kinds of melons and garden veg
etables-stock of all kinds-railroad
faciIities-schools churches ofnear-
ly every ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
saw mills climate unexcelled-
and a soil which, in addition to the
above enumeration, yields corn, cot
ton, wheat, oats, rye, barley, peas,
grasses and clover. These are among
the offerings we tender to those who
seek home among us. We know
of no instance in which Northern
man has been badly treated, but of
many who are and have been among
our best citizens and friends.
We, therefore, invite all good peo-
pie of the North, whether farmers or
mechanics. whether Protestant or
Catholic, or of no church--all classes
to come and settle among US, for
our mutual good assuring all such,
again that they shall have thrown
around them the same law, the same
protection, and the same justice in
every respect as are "meted ont to
u.s."

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
ATHENS, May 8, 1871

Editors Marietta Journal 1t may
be interesting to you to hear from
Franklin College. If such is the case
you will be pleased to receive the
following contribution which you
may at pleasure have published for
the information of your readers.
The College is just emerging into
an University. The unity in action
and harmony of its different depart
ments foreshadow its future success.
For if prominence can be secured
by a Faculty, punctual in the dis
charge of duty, earnest in purpose
and skillful in instruction, it will
soon challenge competition with the
foremost Universities of America. -
1t is not, however, my object now to
speak of its future prospects, but to
inform you of the recent elections of
the Phi; Kappa Society.
Messrs. r. l.. Gamble and G. w.
Warren, of Augusta, were elected
Senior Orators, for the ensuing
Commencement. Messrs. 7. B.
Adams, of Savannah, and II. G.
Glenn, of Atlanta, were chosen
Junior Medalist. Mr.. c. A. Niles,
of Griffin, was selected Sophomore
Medalist. Mr.. G. G.. Randall, of
Acworth, was elected Medalist as the
debater from the Society at large.
All of the gentlemen elect are deba-
tiers of marked ability and distin-
guished characteristics as Orators.
But it is only my purpose to speak
of the two who are from your Sec
ton of the State.
Mr.. Glenn is not unknown to fame
as a speaker. 1t will be remember
ed that at last Commencement he
wore the Sophomore Medal upon his
superior ability as a declaimer.-
There is no falling off when he de-
claims his own Grafton. For when
we listen to the effusions of his own
genius, we feel wrapt in an enehant-
ment similar to that inspired by the
MUSES. in Parnasseau bowers. The
blood of the Hon. Howell Cobb flows
in his veins and there is no less the
orator in his eye, his voice, his ac-
ton than there were in those of the
great statesman.
Mr.. G. G. Randell is a destined
to sway multitudes with the wave of
his hand. Sooner or later he will
stand proudly eminent among Geor-
gia's shrewedest sons. With a voice
of honeyed sweetness, he scatters
diamonds, opals and pearls of
thought without fuency and force
unsurpassed by the idealized orators
of classic lands. For four years he
has been member of the Phi Kappa
Society and as time moved on
accommodating events, so he has been
adding to his stock of knowledge
and as the slow returning Saturdays
came round he gave additional proof
that he would yet be man. And
now to hear him speak is to feast the
soul, for his words, instructive, soft
and sweet, thrill you with sensations
far more touching than mists of dew
drops or showers of roses, impregned
with Ndrd and CaSSia.

WHY WOMAN WEEDS.

Some close observer of our socia
relations having looked about among
his married female acquaintances
ventures to give the following list
with an attempt to indicate the rea
reasons which influence too many tc
marry.
Number one has married for a
home. She got tired of working in
a factory or teaching school. She
thought married life on earth was
but moonlight walks, buggy rides,
new bonnets and nothing to do
Well, she has got her home wheth-
er or not she is tired of the incum-
brance this deponent does not posi-
bly, know.
Number two married because she
had seven young sisters and papa
with narrow income. She con-
suited fop and his interests and
now takes in light washing or goes
out by the day to work.
Number three married because
Mrs. sounded so much better than
Miss. She was twenty-nine years
and eleven months old, and another
month would have transformed her
into a regular old maid. Think how
awful that would have been!
Number four married because she
wanted somebody TO pay her bills
Her husband married for precisely
the same reason, 50 they are both re-
penting at leisure.
Number five married because
Fanny White had a nice new hus-
band, and she wasn't going to be left
behind. Pity if she couldn't get
married as we'll as other folks.
Number six married because she
was poor and wanted riches! She
never counted on all the other things
that were inseparable from those
coveted riches.
Number seven married because
she thought she should like to travel.
But Mr.. Number Seven changed his
mind afterward, and all the travel
ing she done has been between the
well and the back kitchen door,
Number eight married out of spite
because her first love had taken to
himself second love This piece
of retaliation might have done her
good at the time, but in the longrun
number eight found it did not pay.
Number nine married because she
had read novels and "wanted SYM
pathy." Sympathy is fine thing,
but it cools down at a rapid rate if
the domestic kettle is not kept boil
ing, and domestic turkey is undone.
Novels and housekeeping don't run
very we'll together in harness, to use
a sporting term and number mines
supply of sympathy didn't hold out
very long.
Number ten married because she
loved her husband with all her heart
and soul. And she loves him still,
and will probably continue to love
him, and is the happiest wife in the
werld-so she says.
We have the right motive at last
which, gwhen sanctifed by a |
desire to improve and elevate each
other, and to live true and holy lives
before God, cannot fail to call down
the blessings of Heaven. But sad
is the fate Of thosei who marry from
wrong motives, to escape their share
of life's work, or to get something
for which they have nothing to give
in return.

An old bachelor says that giving
the ballot to women would not amount
to anything practically, because they
would keep denying that they were
old enough to vote until they got too
old to take any interest in politics.

We learn wisdom from failure
more than from success; we often
discover what will not do, by finding
out what will do. and he who never
made mistake, never made a dis
covery.

a. j. Dexter owns the old Pas
sumpSic hotel, which is now con
verted into a dwelling house. One
day last week his son was digging
under the cellar stairs when he
came upon leather bag full OF hal
dollars, some 100 in number. They
were dated in 1897 and 1880. and
and proved TO be counterfeit. Ii
will be remembered that during he
years from 1880 to 1910 the excite
ment over countertcite!s was quite
frequent. They usually manufac-
tured in Canada, and came into the
States to sell. Scarcely a village of
any note in that section that was
not at some time during those years

one of those panicS when the coun-
terteiter was in some haste to free
himself from every evidence of
