A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
a Child Crushed Death in a erist Mi!

A Child Crushed Death In a Grist Mill.
On last Saturday a most shocking
accident occurred at Ruff's Grist
Mill, near Smyrna, in this county,
which resulted in the death of a
three year old child of Mr.. John
Reid's. Little Zollicoffer had wan
dered unnoticed to the upper story
of the mill and willis there its clothes
caught in the cogs of two wheels
that are almost on a level with the
floor and the revolving machinery
drew the body Of the child within its
crushing iron jaws, and then forcing
the body through very small opsn-
ing, closed in upon by upright shaft
ing. The Mill stopped, and Mr..
Boze Waters, the miller. being on
the first floor, was puzzled to know
the cause, and several times he
tried, to put the mill in motion, but
it refused to bulge. So he assembled
to the upper floor and to his horror
discovered the body of the child
stripped of its clothing, bleeding,
gashed, and lifelesss, wedged in
among the machinery. 1t was ex-
tricated from the position, but
the vital spark was extinguished,
and its soul had winged its way back
to the God who gave it. On exam
ination it was discovered that sever
al of it's fingers were cut off, one OF
its arms jerked out of place and
broken and its whole body literally
mangled into ajelly. Mrs. Reid had
Just given birth to a child on that
day and when the sad intelligence
of the horrible death of her child
was conveyed to her, the agony she
experienced was heart rending in
the extreme.

Married

On last Tuesday evening, the
9th inst, at the residence Of the
brides father, by Rev. W. F. Glenn,
Mr.. w. j. Marchman to Miss Mollie
Henderson, both of this city.
Thus one by one the roses fall.
The number of devotees to celibacy
are growing beautifully less. "
There seems to be healthy public
sentiment at this time in favor of
marriage, and our young people are
'wreathing the orange blossoms"
and stepping off the stage of single
blessedness into the more congenial
relation of domestic happiness, and
pleasures of life, with arush that is
truly interesting. Although we
have never sent the "bugle call"
down into our own trembling heart
and mustered forth sufficient courage
to commit our neck to the "bridal
halter yet we are glad that others
have and are inspired to follow the
"bright STAR that wrinkles in the
matrimonial armament and points to
the "child Cupid" There is moth
ing more beautiful in life, than when
a maiden, with eyes suffused with
tears, gives the dear ones and the
home of her childhood the last fond
look, and, through the mist of tears,
kisses the lips that are raised to be
kissed, and then turns and confding-
ly places her hand in that of her
Iover's, and says, "Dear one! the
past il dead, the present 10 beauti-
full, the future we know not, but |
can trust all with you" Truly, do
mestic happiness is the only bliss
that survived the fall, where entered
into discreetly and in the fear of
God. We wish the couple all the
happiness and prosperity that can
be reasonably conceived and may
blessings in profusion be showered
upon them.

OUR DEVIL.


What He has Seen IN Marietta.
The DEVIL, though young has seen
and noted down many things that
seem passing strange to him, and he
| cannet let this occasion pass without
telling of a few of them. aq
He has seen young men, "old
enough to know better" who, had
made not over dozen calls, carried
home on a shutter, or holding on to a
fence and wishing the town pump
Happy New Year, but THE Devil
thanks bis lucky stars that he Is anot
that kind of cat."
He has seen a respectable, high
toned married man, who had been
calling, come to the bosom Of his
family, take off his hat with the boot
Jack and sit down on the baby.
He has seen pillar of the church
come home from Somewhere with his
breath smelling Of cloves, and in
form the partner Of his bosom that
he would ''order her (hic) up and go
it alone"
He has seen nice married ladies 60
about home looking like the devils
rag baby because no one would see
them but their husbands, yet they
used up half the poor cuss' income
dressing to show off to other men.
He has seen things fashioned in
the image Of their Maker get down
on their marrow>bones (when some
one was looking on) and pray loud
and long for the suffering poor, go
down to the bottom Of their breeches
pocket and with great ostentation
place diIapidated shinplastsr on the
plate for the support of the gospel,
subscribing literally to the fand for
supplying the suffering sisters in
Africa with red flannel night-gowns,
yet they would kick blind cripple
off his doorstep for daring to ask for
loan Of three cents to assist in
defraying the expense Of purchasing
loaf Of bread, and butter, and
sugar, to alleviate the suffering of
his poor starving grandmother.
He has seen professed Christians
make an enormous pow-wow about
the birth of our Savior, who would
stick up their nose at the bare men
ton Of babe born in anything short
of a brown stone front, and should
the Master pass their doors to-day,
would give him the cut direct, and,
like Peter of old, declare they know
him not, because he did not wear q
coat Of the latest cut and come in
town in style.
He has seen pastors who made fire.

fare sumptuousIy every day, but they
sscouldn't see" the poor mechanic or
his children, though they passed
their humble home dozen times q

things during bis short career, but
it will not do to tell them all at once.

uoNE OF THE PEOPLE


Ye Local read the long-winded
article written by Zone Of the Peo-
pie" in last weeks JOURNAL in re.
gard to Stephens and the "Salary
Grab" and the aninsss used instead
of reason, that a sinking cause could
only call forth such sputteriDgs.--
One Of the People as much rnisrep-
resents the public sentiment of the
people of Georgia as did MIR. Steph-
ems, and seeks to justify wrong ac>
ton when nobility of character and
purity of example should have in
luenced him better. He thinks in
his article by borrowing from Steph-
ems speech that he can show the
monetary value of an intelligent
Congressman; but his estimate is
Oh the principle that all Congress-
men are of the same mental calibre,
which is qui'e a mistake. Anegro's
skull might COZ tain the wisdom Of
Mr.. Stephens, but none of us be-
lieves such an absurd idea, no more
than we believe it isright for Con-
gresham to plumber the public
Treasury because he has the legal
power to do SO. Real estate and
mind can be regulated in price ac>
cording to their productive usefdl>
ness, but the people, who "foot the
bill" ought to know the worth OF
each to them, and they have in un-
mistakble terms, universally con-
demned the ''eminent intellects''
whose thieving propensities develop
ed to an enormous, double pay, back
salary grab. AS far as principle il
concerned, Mr.. stephens may % well
defend Boss Tweed for stealing the
peoples money in New York, as to
defend the robber Congressman for
fiIching the peoples money from the
public Treasury-thc only difference
in results are, Boss Tweed is in the
penitentiary and the Congressmen
are not.
Mr.. Stephens may place himself
"cheek by jowl" with Ben Butler
and oshake hands across The bloody
chasm" with the spoon-thief and wo-
men-insulter, but the Southern peo-
pie will not willingly "hold up mis-
hands" while he does it. To re-
main silen' is to give endorsement
to Mr.. Stephens blunder. But the
Press and the People denounce il
in unsparing terms, and they should
in thunder tones speak, until they
disgorge their ill-gotten gains and
like Judas of old go and hang them
selves, for they were recreant to the
trust confaed in them by their
constituents. And as for the Wilt
6cation Vi the Press by "0ne Of the
People and impugning their motives
