a Noble Cobb County Couple.


Our readers will remember Mr. Robert
Robertson an old and respected citizen who
died in this county few months ago He
was somewhat embarrassed al the time Of his
death owing to losses sustained through
others, and he had found it necessary to take
the benefit of the homestead act He had
insured his life for So 0G0, however, in the
Northwestern Life Insurance Company,
(Which was paid promptly by DIR. White,
agent, of Atlanta, and Mr.. Robertson re
quested his aged wife on his death bed to
use so much of the money realized on the
insurance as it required TO pay oil all his in
debtedness. This Mrs Robertson has just
done. She came to Marietta last week, clad
in the weeds OF mourning. looked up his
creditors, and paid off in mn the last cent
the old man owed here on earth. When
this good lady had finished liquidating the
debts Of her husband, she had only about
$3.50 left out of the sum received, when in
fact she was not compelled by law to pay
one cent
1t has well been said that an honest man
is the nobest work of God. And the same
may be said of an honest woman. That
this devoted couple will be reunited after
death we have no doubt.

Reverse in Life.

In the city of New York there lives o
destitute woman who has led brilliant
career abroad, having married French
count many years ago. His death, and
dissipated habits on her part, having re-
duced her ia beggary. She is very accom-
plished, speaks several languages, is fine
musician, paints we'll in oil and is elegant
in conversation. After painting few
miniatures, she retires to the obscurity of
her room, if she has one, for the indul-
gence other appetite for liquor She will
not endure interference or remonstrances;
and if one dares to "point moral" to her
to suggest the use of some of her gifts to
obtain decent livihood, she will burst in
to rage and look with the air of a tragic
queen, "Do you suppose. that a woman ac-
costomed to the society that I have been
could lower herself in that manner" An
equally strange history is of a man who
now keepsya city restaurant. The land
lord is an italian duke, who fourished in
fashionable circles until his fortune was
nearly gone With bare pittance he re-
tired to an obscure Hoboken hotel, giving
up all his old associations. Even the pit
tanc was soon gone, and he became first a
cook, then waiter, in the hotel, and by
and by the proprietor, the landlord hav-
ing deid, and he, under an assumed name
having made money enough to purchase
the fixtures. Once in tolerable circmsaan-
ces, the duke resumed his name, but dis.
likes to have his title alluded to- He has
a suitable sense of the Fitness of things"

This Looks bad For DEM

OR RATHER FOR A SMALL BAND
OF PRETENDED DEMOCRATIC
POLITICIANS. DOWN THERE.

From the Colnmb1s Daily Democrat.
New LEXINGTON, Jan. Is.
The excitement over the suit brouhgt
against Auditor Thacker last week by
Thomas 1cenhour to recover fifty dollars
for serAices rendered in securing Thack-
for whiskey for the same purpose, and
which was decided in Thacker's favor by
the justice, on the ground that the bargain,
if made, was corrupt. still continues at fe-
yer heat, and some astounding revelations
may be expected at an early day. will
give brief history of the politics of the
county, and the acts that certain parties
which gradually led to the elimination of
of the present exposure. As far back as
the fight for the Senatorial nomination in
1873, click of three or four political bro
kers set up business here, who discounted
the chances of every candidate tor nomi-
nation on the Democratic county, Senate
rial or Congressional ticket. That is to say
for money consideration they would un-
|
they generally did.
But, like Shep Tinker, when he was elec
ted justice of the peace 10 Monroe town
ship, they got greedy. Tinker always solo
his decisions to both parties, and delivered
it to the one that paid him the highes
price. So with these brokers, they got t.
taking money from every one who woult
give it, even if ten of them Were up 70
the same nomination. In 1868 they car
risd the thing with high hand, and fleece
the candidates without mercy.
| Thacker, an amiable an honest youn
! man, fell into the hands of the Philistine
and was literally fayed alive withou
knowing what was being done with him
He is now to be made a scapegoat-:
such thing is possible-but thereby hang
tale, which shall send more in detail
: by mail. Under the law Thacker is lab
t to prosecution, but every effort will
j made to prevent it. Strictly, he should
. prosecuted, but when it is notoriousl
known that he was but tool in the hant
. of wiser and more wiley persons, the pul
: lie sympathy is with him. The names
l. the broken clique will be made publ
n soon. Suffice it to say for the present tn
10 it is made up of well known office holde
i, and ex-ofice holders. 1t is shrewdly su
pected here that the brokers will be pros
- cuted before Thacker is molested, al
that he and other candidates will be USE
u as witnesses in behalf of the state.
