The social evil question hs. become
atheme for discussion generally, through
the insttumcntality of bill offered by
. member of the Legislature, proposing
to license houses of prostitution. Such
a proposition is too licentious TO dis
euss. 1t is the duty of all who regard
the purity of themselves, their families
and frlends, to frown down any and
every attempt at the institution of such
q system Of prostitution.

Cobb county cannot now afford to

banner for two years in succession,
Of which we were all justly proud, it
does not follow that the banner is
ours for all time to come. To hold
it and deserve it, we must work and
work intelligently-and then our
great reward is not in having ban
ner to waive, but in the prosperity
and happiness Of our people. Let
every man who would have Cobb
county what she ought to be and
can be, meet with us, consult freely
and adopt such measured as will best
promote the interest of all, and then
let us each strive to excel our neigh
bors in work, in carrying ont and
doing what wessgree to do.
Our Society have determined not
to contend for either of the county
premiums at the State Fair, but we
must be there to enter the list for
special premiums. Will not every
district and village be represented 2
| trust every neighborhood will be
represented. Give one day to the
general good. i'll knew how to
reach every heart Of the farmers,
their wives and daughters, to enlist
all in the building up of our material
interests, there would be no want of
effort on my part. Let no man
excuse himself, but come and come
to DO good and promote good. If we
disagree, "let us reason together as
BRETHREN" determined, God being
our helper, to elevate the industrial
laboring classes, and then we will
agree and when we do agree then
let US labor to carry out our good
purposes,

A YALnAnIr REclpE.-The jon

A VALUABLE REcIPE.-The Jour
nal Of Chemistry publishes a recipe
for the destruction of insects, which,
if it be one-half as efficacious as it is
claimed to be, will prove invaluable !:
"Hot alum water is a recent sug>
gestion as an insecticide. 1t will
destroy red and black ants, cock
reaches, spiders, chintz bugs, and all
the crawling pests which infest our
houses. Take two pounds of alum
and dissolve it in three or four quarts
of boiling water; lot it stand on the
fire till the alum disappears then
apply il with brush, while nearly
boiling hot, to every joint and ere
vice in your closets, bedsteads,
pantry shelves, and the like. Brush
the crevices in the floor of the Skin
ting or mop boards, if you suspect
that they harbor vermin.
If, in whitewashing ceiling, plenty
of alum is added to the lime, it will
also serve to keep insects at a dis
lance. Cockroaches viii fee the
paint which has been washed in cool
alum water. Sugar barrels and
boxes can be freed from ants by
drawing chalk mark just around
the edge of the top of them. The
mark must be unbroken, or they will
creep over it but a continuous chalk
mark half an inch ia width will set
their depredatiOns at naughs. Pow
dered alum or borax will keep the
chiutz bugs at respectable distance
and travellers should always carry a
package in their handbags to scatter
over and under their pillows IN
places where they have reason to
suspect the presence Of such bed
fellows"
