The Dogs.

EDITORS JOURNAL: Would it not DO well
for our Church-goers TO leave their dogs at
home when they visit our houses Of worships,
and thereby prevent re-enactment ofthe scene
at the Baptist Church in this city last Sabbath
night? Would it not be a blessing to this com
munity If the good brothers and sisters would
throw their "bench legg pets on the first freight
train passing provided they could not be indlic-
ed to dispose Of them in more summary man
ner 1t is true some of these good people have
their pets locked up for while during Sabbath
morning but by some means they get out; and
recently one ofthese prisoners after being re-
leased from his confinement commenced a search
for his owners by stopping first at the Episco-
pal Church. very much to the annoyance Of
those good people. Here good old brother be
ing unable to eject the intruder, one younger
and more active had to take the matter iu hand
and put him out which done, off be starts for
the Presbyterian Church; but fortunately they
dismissed before the "distnrber Of devotiong'
entered.
Now il these brothers and sisters desire their
dogs to be educated in piety and good behavior
let them bring them along-but instead Of al
lowing it to run abou. the Church and pulpit.
take ID on the seat beside themselves and see 10
Il that the dog behaves himself This conf
munity has long been annoyed by ceytatD dogs
and there is point where "forbearancs ceases

Nice Young Man.

This phrase is becoming quite common il
some circles of society, but not much more sc
than the nuisance it represents. Sensible peo-
pie mourn over the degradation of the human
species when it wears the shape of the nice
young man. Snakes, caterpillars, and cent?
is the poodle dog of the social world He sim.
pers, spouts, struts and brags He is nice in
his dress-a perfect barometer of the fashions
With apparent prodigality he goes to every.
thing, processes to be everything and is nothing
Touch him, talk to him, handle him, he is taste
less and senseless. But, Oh, how sensitivey
self-important!
With lotions and cosmetics, the nice young
man is fond of building himself up ON Sundays
He is oficious in everything, efficient in nothing
You find him prominent at Church, and equally
50 at the ballroom, He assists at funerals and
attends marriages. He has pious mouth, vel
sups with vice. The tender damsels deem
him perfection and mothers invite him to lea.
The chief attraction about your nice young
man is want Of brains. He is troubled with q
chronic disease called '1ack sense" His era
MUM is as empty as scraped gourd. If even
an idea in its infancy were to buzz in the
vacuum he carries on his shoulders, he would
flee like Orestes from the avepgipg Furies -
Sensible men looked upon him with disgust
Sensible women regard him like the g-heads
on the andirons, and as more ornamental than
useful He is used for convenience and dropped
like counterfeit shinplaster. He is generally
spendthrift, lives high and dies pauper.--
The girl be marries after wretched life, fol
lows suit,
Be thief, a pickpoeket, a swindler, and die
| on galows like man; but don't study to be
nice Young man. If you think you have the
elements Of one, reconsider, and you will find
you are better constituted for fool. Ii any
symptoms of the nice young man break on
upon you, get some friend to sever your jugu
! lar or to drown you as remorseessly as the.
hung Susan Eberha,t, or as SCHOOL boy woult

more especially nj the latter time, the air is
laden with musical sounds ofeyery description,
produced by instruments Of all Imaginable
sizes aAd Shapes, from the horn and Jews harp
in the mouth ofthe small boy 10 the large horn
and drum of the band and the piano at private
residences. Serenalrs, also, are quite frequent.
Several weeks agoa novel one took place.
The musicians were halfdezen or 50 of the

"The Banner County"


A correspondent to the Athens Georgian
writes from Marietta, as follows:
Marietta is place so well known TO the mi
gratory world that description of it, with its
suburbs. would be superfluous The new
Court House is a model It is being erected
upon the site of the old one, but not after the
sawe fashion. The town clock stands within
its steeple, and like the eurfew, tolls the thriy
ing people home
The Kennesaw Mills draw especial attention.
Messrs. Cook g. Cheek evidently understand
the matter of supply and demand. The Mills
are in perfect order, everything runs as it
should, and the -four is perfect.
Roswell, with its Factory, is worthy of no
tice. All of the buildings connected with this
Factory were burnt during the war. and yet
the Factories have been rebuilt, the old opera
tiyes employed, and now the dividends deelar-
ed surprise the Oldest citizens Ante be1tan'

tive President, viii learn the ropes, in time,
and then the stock which now sells readily at
eight hundred dollars per share will bear a
fabulous price.
The Iron Mines are being explored success
fully. Tie indications of iron abound upon
every hand. The Altoona ore does not COM
pare with the ore which is being brought to
the surface in Cobb therefore we may look fol
