Thomas L. McElrath, son OF the
former partner Of Horace Greeley, Of
the same name, and who has himself
been connected with the Tribune ever
since boyhood, and George II. Nun
roe, of the Boston Saturday Eceping
Gazette, are guests at w. l.. Rowel's.
But three weeks remain before our
annual far, and vet there is time
enough, if properly improved, to pre-
sent an exhibition, superior to any
thing we have ever yet had. In adj
dition to the usual attractions of the
second day, trot between green
horses owned within the society
limits, and foot race, are introduced
into the programme this season.
ALMOST SENSATION. Monday
forenoon report was current in the
village that Henry Ward Beecher-
he of the scandal-was coming to
town on the 1915 train for the pur-
pose of making oath before Notary
Public to his answer to the Tilton Ii
bel complaint. He didn't come, how
ever, but is said to have gone to Lit
Teton, instead, much to the disap-
pointment of the curious crowd gath
cred at the depot and street corners
on the arrival Of the train.
Mr.. David Emerson tripped across
the eudless chain in Messrs. Good
rich's steam mill, last Friday, an fell,
dislocating shoulder. This is the
second time within two years that he
has met with the same accident.
The Rev. George Dustin, of Peter
boro', N. H., is expected to supply
the Congregational Church in this
place next Sabbath, August 30th.
The call given by the Congregation.
al Church, of this place, to Rev.
Charles L. Harrington to become its
pastor, has been accepted by him, and
he is expected to fill the pulpit Sep.
TENDER 9th.
A movement is on foot to secure &
balloon for the coming fair, A bal.
loon ascension in this place would be
a novelty which, we doubt not, would
attract large numbers who otherwise
might not attend.
w. S. Haskell will preach at the
Unitarian Church next Sabbath morn.
Ing and evening.
Messrs. Nelson Sparks, G. L. Girls
void and Willie Whidden returned
Saturday from a seven days fishing
and rusticating tour to Connecticut
Lake. They report pleasant visit
with DR.. Woolcott Of the Lake House
and plenty Of trout. The 3-poun er
from which we were generously
favored with meal, was delicious.
Spaulding & Lane infolm us that
they will to-day open their new fal
stock Of clothing, hats, caps sc.
bought very much lower than evel
before. Parties should not fail tC
see their nice German suits before
buying elsewhere. In heavy business
suits they don't let any one bea
them.

and individual mail picked out and
read at leisure while the rest lays

oIvTL SERVICE REFORM.

"The President has recently in
dictated bis intention to press the
subject Of Civil Service Reform upon
the attention Of Congress at the
coming session, and urge that there
be some legislation to make it bind
ing upon his successor"
The "recent democratic success
es" is given as the necessity for the
above desired Legislation, to "pre-
vent a return to the old system OF
appointing officers" This civil
service reform has been the foot ,ball
of Grant and his administration,
from term to term. He has always
been unwilling to relinquish this pet
power from the fact that he has
made it the means Of gaining unde-
served popularity in caring for bis
gayorites. The recent elections are
the shadowy tracings Of the hand Of
fate that warns him that he must
step down and out. Indeed, the re-
cent democratic successes" gives
overwhelming evidence that Grant
will have successor" and demo
cratic one at that, for Casarism il
not for this age.
Having filed the country with
ffth-rate, irresponsible officials,
many of whom are his own kith and
kin, he forsooth would deprive his
successor of the power of appointing
at bic own volition or displacing Of
appointees Of his despotic making,
and who in his mepdacity and no.
scrupulous prostitution of Office, il
"gift taking" and rewarding the
giver accordingly, has never had Q
rival 10 the history Of this govern
ment.

TEE NEXT SESSION.

The re-assemhling Of Congress
next month will no doubt be ex>
citing. The Radicals knowing that
their majority dies with this session,
and many of them being astonishing
" aware that The 'devilish democ-
racyn will be in the ascendancy IN
the succeeding Congress, they VIII
feel unaccountable to any one; The
'dear people" having snapped them
off for democrats, their books are
TO be oyerhauled, their peculatiops
are to be covered up and heir
whisky bills are to be settled, while
q spirit Of disappointment, revenge
and plumber is to be gratifed. 1t
would not surprise us at all to hear
of tho passage of the "Civil Rights
Bill,r as a matter Of spite, because
the country has gone democratic.--
Little will they cafe what the peo-
pie may think Of their course in
this Congress or Of their wild and
reckless Legislation. Their motto
will be, "Boys, we are done for,
scooped, busted, bottled therefore,
make the most of this session for
yourselves that you can J" Their
moral restraint and high sense Of re-
sponsibility of confidence imposed
and esteem to be won, has been weak
in the past, what base uses may they
not stoop to, now tibet reelection is
out of the question: Their three
months power will be used with as
little concern for the public welfare,
as the peoples judgement upon their
corrupt official acts has been severe
and conLemnatory. The Credit
Mobilier and Salary Grabs have
Stayed them, and they will depart
sadder men, with Husher pockets and
faces, than when they came.

OUR RAILROAD.

During the recess of the Court,
at noon: last Wednesday, meeting
in the interest Of Marietta & North
Georgia Railroad, was held. Thos.
II. Moore in the Chair.
Judge David Irwin, Col. George
N. Lester, and Gen. VIM. Phillips,
delivered forcible speeches, that
should summon our people to prop
er appreciation of the value of
of prompt action in giving that Pc
cuniary cooperation so much desir>
ed. The people of Cobb county
should be no laggards, but with an
enthusiasm worthy Of their good
name respond to every call and pay
and increase their subscriptions,
and those who have not subscribed
ought to do SO at once.
That the Road will be built we
have no doubt. A survey to the
Tennessee line is being made, and
IA miles have been graded. The
upper counties have contributed
the largest portion Of the money to
pay for the work done.
Knoxville, Tenn, is excited and
trying to get a line in this direction
to Macon, and would form a juno
ton with our Road at Ducktown.---
A road of sixteen miles is already
completed from Knoxville to Mary
vile, and from the latter place it is
only q distance of eighty miles to the
Georgia line. The lessees of the
completed sixteen miles Of road are
strong capitalists, mainly from New
York and Canada, and have detcr>
mined on thorough and complete
survey of the country south of Mary
vile, and with this view they pro-
cured the services of Gen. Chas. b.
Stuart, distinguished New York
engineer of forty years experience,
and If Stuart's report is favorable,
the Maryville company will imme-
diately commence work.
If this road be built, whether it
be to Ducktown or to point south
of Murphy, N. c., the Allan ia Con-
stitution thinks it twill be practi-
cally. an extension of the Marietta &
North Georgia Railroad, provided
the latter can be pushed to compile
ton before line 10 built from
Athens, or from some point ON the
Airline railroad" That is the
proper view and if Cobb county peo>
pie viii do their duty, the JOURNAL
will be able to chronicle the extern
sion of our road. The Maryville
and Knoxville road is q broad guage
which, doubtless, unless proper
understanding could be had, would
necessitate a change in the guage of
our road from Marietta. Let our
managers and citizens be wide
awake and possess themselves of any
advantage the strong moneyed COM
bination Of the Maryville company
are willing to give.
