TOWN TALK.

The cotton crop Is certainly a short one.
Spectators will continue this "corneI" in
provisions, 90 long as our farmers fail to
keep enough in the corner for home con.
sumption.
...Maude is the name OF the new passen-
ger coach built by Mr.. G. T. Shepard for
the Marietta j. North Georgia Railroad.
The new survey of the NJ. g. N. G..
r. h. shows grades of 1853 feet to the mile
and curves Of is degrees, these will he cut
down and Strengthened and the road put in
first class condition.
When we see the Roswell wagon train
which has made its regular trips TO our town
for so many years, superseded by railroad
running in an opposite direction, our Jeal-
ousy Is aroused.
1.-The railroad fare is not yet one of the
attractions 10 the exposition. Our people
certainly looked for greater reduction than
81 cents per mile and we hope yet that the
rates may be made reasonable enough to al
low visitors to stop in Marietta and go down
every day if they wish ed, At present rates
however we cannot expect visitors TO incur
an additional expense of 81 per day besides
ten cents each way from the depot in At
to the grounds

A Curiosity.

At the opening ceremonies of the Allan
ia Cotton Exposition, " Wednesday the 5th
inst, we met wonderful living curiosity.
An intelligent New York gentleman piled
us with questions and desired us to point
out some prominent gentlemen present.
After we had singled out few, the pleas
ing countenance of Senator Joseph L.
Brown came in view. We turned to the
New Yorker and said: THAT gentleman
there with white beard is Joe Brown"
He replied who is Joe Brown p
Astonished, we looked at the earnest
speaker and enquired Have you never
heard of Joe Brown?''
Never said he,
why, sir, he Is one OF Georgia's most
remarkable and prominent men. He has
been four times elected Governor OF Geor-
gia is now United States Senator and the
richest man in the State. :"
"Well, said he, | never heard OF Joe
Brown before Then taking good look
at "Uncle Joseph" he exclaimed. Gle re-
sembles Horace Greeley"
Such Is fame abroad. The New Yorker
certainly should be put on exhibition as
one Of the curiosities of the Exposition.

residence was entered at the bay window by
a burglar who proceeded to turn down the
hall light. and then abstract from Mr..
Cheeks pants pocket knife and eight dol
lars in money AMI peaceably departed. 1t
was rather bold and cheeky affair, but
couldn't be helped
Sunday morning about two O'Clock, two
men attempted TO enter the yard OF Mr,
VIM. McCrea. but the yard dog kept them
at bay. The dogs barking attracted the
attention of Deputy Marshal Mcdonald.
He watched the men sometime as they
parleyed with the dog. The men would
walk up and down the side OF the fence,
but the dog was still defiant. The men
would then hold consultations. seemingly
as iftrying to hi; upon some plan to mislead
or silence the dog. Mr. Mcdonald pulled
of his shoes and tried TO slip up on them to
see who they were, but his approach was
discovered and the men fed. r.

died at the residence of Mr.. j. Spilman, on
last Saturday morning. Her funeral was
preached at the Presbyterian Church on
last Sunday Afternoon by Rev. d. L. But
tolph-a large concourse of our citizens be
ing in attendance. After the service, her
remains were conveyed to the Episcopal
cemetery and deposited in vault. This
was one of the saddest deaths we have had
in Marietta in some time. One year ago she
came to Marietta from Omaha, Neb., the
happy bride Of our townsman, Mr.. Harry
Sp:lman. She was delighted with our genial
people and balmy climate, and bright and
suspicious future spread out before her
But, alas that fell destroyer, consumption,
laid his insatate hand upon her young life,
and the bloom on her cheeks faded out, and
now she sleeps in the cold embrace OF death.

be giving perfect satisfaction, all praising 1t
for the splendid sample Of cotton it tdrned
