-THE illumination Of the city
park, Thursday night of last week,
in celebration of the seventh ami
versary of the Marietta Silver Cor,
net Band, was brilliant SUCCESS. -
Hundreds of candles flashed their
lights in beautiful magniticene, max
ing a scene imposing and grand. -
The Park was crowded with our
citizens, old and young, many prom
enading to the rich strains of music,
discoursed by the Band. 1t was an
enjoyable affair. After the candles
had twinkled their last twinkle and
dripped their last drop, some of the
young people repaired to the Ken
ne8aw House, where Mr.. Lewis, the
the accommodating proprietor, gave
them the use of his commodious
dining room and allowed the gay
throng to indulge in Terpsichorean
pleasures to their hearts content.
-LAsr Tuesday night, two young
men of Marietta discovered an un-
known man prostrsted on the Rail-
road track, in rear of the Episcopal
Church. The fellow was under the
influence of whisky and had been
robbed of his boots and hat. He
stubbornly resisted being removed
from the track and seemed imbued
with suicidal intent. The man
was forcibly removed only little
before the $3.50 down passenger
train came laundering along. But
for the timely discovery of the
stranger by these young men, he
would undoubtedly have been killed
by the train.
-DR. G. w. Cleland left with us
last Wednesday rare species of the
feathered tribe, killed by his little
son while cunning. 1t is thought to
be hawk, but differs very material
Iy from the appearance Of that bird.
Its back and wings were jet-black,
while its head, neck and breast
were pure white. The feathers of
its tail were long and forked. Its
wings from tip to tip measured four
feet.
--FIRE. The dwelling house of
d.. j. w. Bozeman, four miles
above Marietta, was burned We'd
nesday night last. The Doctor
came near being burned up in the
house himself, and probably would
but for a colored man breaking open
the door and arousing him from his
slumbers. The house was insured
in the Southern Mutual.
Moses WlNKLkY, a colored man,
of Cobb county, since the war has
bought 80 acres of land, for which
he has paid $500. Last year he
built him a house which he paid
500 for, and this year he will make
- or 80 bales of cotton, abundance
of corn, all of which will no doubt
foot him about s., 200, besides he is
out of debt and has a good team,
hogs and cattle. He don't ask Mr..
Morton any odds.
We give room to an explana~
tory communication in this issue
from Mr.. Harrison Black, ackno vi
edging the auth orship of an article
signed "Dejure," published in April
last. The name of the author had
been demanded of US, and it is now
given. This must end the matter
as far as the use Of our columns is
concerned.
EVERY little while we read of
some one who has stuck a rusty nail
in his foot or some other part of his
person, and Iockjaw has resulted
therefrom. All such wounds can be
healed without any fatal consequent
