MONEY cRAzs.
Indecent Haste 10 Get Rich.

There can benoquestion t6as 8the PEOPLE
of this country, from the smallest village in
Georgia to the great metropolis OF New
York. are bent on rapid accumul@tons and
making great haste to get rich. lust and
honorable efforts to better ones condition
in life is praiseworthy and commendable,
but indecent haste and questionable methods
are MOTTO be apphaded, Tomake fortunes
in day or year, is the ambition Of many,
who arc not content with a slow but sure
competence Hence the many underground
speculations, the trading in stocks and the
sudden combinations photographic systems
where II few increase their millions aud
many are depleted in theirpurses mother
departments of life, in banks and merchan-
disc. we frequently hear of some trusted
cashier or book keeper, giving way TO ava
rice and proving defaulters and embcAnlsrs.
in other words robbing t,re'- snApleysrsi
to get rich. The worship of mammon is
supplanting all the holier and ennobling
feelings of heart and mind That the love
of gain should make ono oblivious of the
good opinion of his friends and associates,
and be williNg to wreck hopes and hsppi-
ness and f. lilly ties, for brief opulenoe, is
surprising What is money compared to
clean conscience and a spotless character
1t is matter of deep regret, that the joints
of the times are so loose that men practice
to deceive with view to grow suddenly
rich on the confidence of their friends, but
more so, that the insane love Of gain should
master and triumph over love of honor,
truth and fair reputation. Let the rising
generation be taught that good name is
more to be priced than paltry dollars; and
that he who sacrifices the former for the
latter, cheats himself badly, and wins only
infamy and an empty bauble.

Marietta We. Atlanta.

Two years ago, we printed the Constitu-

printed, with some changes. a committee
was appointed. who went to the Gate
City" and Atlanta's best bid was fourteen
dollars-tlA same Us our bid. We got the
printing. A gentleman got us to price
common Job of 500 handbills. He then got
Atlanta bid. Our bid was 30 cents cheap
er and we got the printing. A drummer
had some cards printed, and our bid was 70
cents cheaper than Rome. The Pathfnders
Darmatic Troupe had us to print some 1000
coupon tickets The manager, when he
paid the money, said at was the cheapest
printing he had struck this side of Indiana
All Of which goes to show that we are do
ing work at the lowest prices. Some
times we may 90 little above Atlanta
prices on certain kind Of job, but just as
frequently we 90 below Atlanta prices. OF
charge the same. They all vary. We have
had work priced there to see. All we ask
is fair trial, and we will guarantee to do
the work as good, and as cheap, or refund
the money We live here, pay our taxes,
here, and our paper speaks always good
word for our town, while Atlanta does
none Of these things, and we think we are
entitled to the patronage Of our citizens who
have printing they wish done, We will
give value received Have your work
priced in Atlanta, and then come and see
us.

POISONED.
A Sad Death From a Slight Cause.

A Sad Death From a Slight Cause
Death turks in every flower it is said,
but one would hardly suppose that death was
concealed in brass lamp, where there was
no explosion But such was the case, re-
Gently at Roswell, in this county, as we
learn from our correspondent. Mr. James
Mahaffey, a well known citizen, had cut
one ofhis fingers. The cash gave him no
trouble, and he handled articles as well as
usual. A few nights ago Mr.. Mahafiey was
holding brass lamp The lamp had not
been kept as clean externally as it should
have been, and the brass parts had csnker-
ed and some of the oil from the lamp, be-
came mixed with the canker. and the COM
bination created green poisonous matter.
Some oil this matter got INTO the flesh cut on
Mr.. Mahaiiey's finger The virus penetra-
ted his blood and shortly after his fingers,
hand and arm became infamed and swollen,
and much ieverish pain ensued. Medical
attention was given, but no antidote was
sufficient to counteract the deadly poison,
and Mr.. Mahaffey died an agonizing death.
