ROSWELL.

The leaves are growing wonderfully fast
since the warm April showers have come and
the old fields are covered with grass and sedge.
The fruit crop which was not killed by The
recent frost some supposed pro misses TO be
the best of any we have hal in some years
The trees are literally loaded with young
fruit
Farmers are busy planting and do not
come TO town except when emergencies de
mand it.
There has been more guano sold here tina
year than ever before aud consequently more
provisions on credit system.
1t would be better for our farmers to use
less Quano and time ratiors, raise more pro
| visions at home and save the exorbiant rate
| Of interest that they are paying or, at least
promising to pay each year. How can they
| hope to get out of debt by raising cotton since
| they fall further behind every year. But il Is
not al owing to the enormous rates Of interest
that cause so many failures in the payment Of
debts There must be more economy pracilced
by those who live on time The sooner they
learn TO live within their means the sooner they
will be out of debt and out of-dauger.

Riding Too Fast.

last Sunday afternoon three Atlanta
young men, who were on visit to Mari
eta, were horse back riding. shower OF
rain commenced falling and they put whip
to their horses and came full tilt up Ros
well street. one right after the other. Just
as they turned at the corner to go up At
lanta street to Mr.. Spilman's stable, the
first horse slipped and fell, and the second
tumbled over him. One of the young men
was mashed by one of the horses falling on
him. His face was, also, badly bruised,
several teeth were loosened, and one OF his
ankles sprained He says he is done taking
horseback rides on Sunday.
By the way, this fast riding and driving
on the square is clear violation of the
city ordinance Why is it allowed j.? Chill
dren and women are liable TO be run over
and killed or crippled by such reck less
driving and riding In turning corners
the same swift speed is kept up, yet it is
impossible for them TO see pedestrians who
perchance may be about to cross thu
street at that moment. The streets ant
square of Marietta should net be turned
into race course.

BROUGHT BACK.
Newt Robinson Recaptured.

| Newt Robinson, colored. who was sen
| fenced to five years in the chain gang, and
who escaped from the Jail at th4 place on
the night of the Goth of last month, was re-
captured in Danvile Virginia, enc day last
week. Robinson was we'll advertised and
his remaining at liberty was hardly posi-
BILE Sherfts Coryell and Mcclellan were
vigilant in trying to ascertain his where
abouts, and this they very shrewdly sue
ceeded in doing, and Monday of last week
they telegraphed to the police at Danville
that Robinson was at work in that city and
to arrest him at once. Absorption OF him
had previously been sent on. The police
man found out that Robinson was at work
| in rock quarry near town, and he saun-
tered out in search Of him. He met Rob
inson in the road going to work, in com
pany with some other negroes. The de-
scription was so accurate that there was no
trouble in recognizing him. The officer
stepped up to Robinson and laid hold OF
him and told him to consider himself under
arrest He wanted to know what for. He
was informed that he was wanted at Mari
eta, having escaped Jail. He denied being
the man and attempted to break loose, but
the officer put his nippers upon him. and
read the description to him, and Ribinson
owned up as being the man wanted. On
receiving a telegram of Robinson's arrest,
Sheriff Coryell left Thursday night last for
Danville, and returned on Sunday morning,
bringing Robinson with him. He has been
sent out to the chain gang of the Marietta
& North Georgia Railroad to serve out his
sentence.

What Was It 2

On last Monday night, about half past
ten clock, our citizens were startled by
loud report, as if the boiler Of an engine
had exploded or a cannon fired. Buildings
shook and windows ratified alarmingly.
Tuesday morning every one you met en-
quired, did you hear that fearful report
last night?' All said yes, but nobody
could give an explanation as to what it was
or its cause 1t must have been an earth.
quake shock or the explosion of meteor.
Since the above was put in type. we have
obtained some information as to the matter.
Some unknown parties took two inch
metal pipe, of considerable length, and MI
ed it with powder, and placed the same
in the street near Winters g. Legg's ware
house. and applied a fuse, which caused a
very loud explosion. Who the parties were
and what could have been their object, we
are unable to state. Certainly it was very
dangerous and reprehen siblc conduct.

MY VISIT.

My mind was made up and hastily gath
ering together few things and taking my
valise in hand | soon found myself at the
railway station and aboard the cars bound
for visit to my newly married friends from
whom had just received news that they
had just secured a cottage and had fixed up
quite a home-nest. and by the last mail
they had SO kindly remembered their old
bachelor friend as to write letter asking me
to make them visit. | smiled to myself
many times as | would recall the past, and
how very unsophisticated they must be and
how awkward they must appear as host and
hostess, but soon the brakeman calls out
Marietta and as | had sent no letter to
herald my coming, | set out alone for
street and in less time than | have been
talking to you | was being received by
both Fred and his little treasure of wife,
who were just preparing to sit down to tea
in the dearest, cosest little dining room
twas ever my fortune to enter. A chair was
soon placed for their visitor and friend, and
surely no one will take otiense when L say
/ was never so elegantly entertained in my
life--and again, no one must laugh when
acknowledge | was mentally resolving to
hunt out a companion to sit opposite me at
the table and TO prepare and arrange such
delicacies and tempting It'd bits, as | there
enjoyed, for Myra assures me she superin-
tends and directs every thing herself, and
surely every thing was beyond compare,
and to be an invited guest in that house
was inde& an inestimable treat. 1t is in the
omestic affairs of every day lite, that re-
gain the best insight into true character.
| confided in my friends and asked them to
help me 'set up" an establishment like I'M
10 theirs, which seemed to me little less than
an enchanted bower, even now as visions OF
the tempting rolls, biscuits, buckwheat
cakes and waffles which would almost melt
when put in my mouth, the delicate cakes,
delightful meats, and withall the happy
faces of Fred and his wife would remind
one of little harem where we could al
ways find comfort and rest, they both assur.
ed me of their hearty cooperation and
shall long remember the smile that played
over Myra's face when she assured me that
all would be we'll if | would always buy my
groceries from McClatchy's store, for they
have learned he keeps only the best OF Ba-
king Powders, Fresh Canned Meats fresh

Of people to see the grand, gorgeous street

age. The Broncho trained horses, the
wonderfully educated dogs. the leaping
horse, Nettle the trapeze "diye for life, p"
the muscular man who manipulated with
such dexterity huge iron balls, and many
other pleasing features, made it a show
worth seeing. The menagerie has fine
collection of animals, all in good con
dtion, which proved quite interesting to
those in attendance.
The balloon ascension, after the perform
ance, was one of the daring feats OF the day,
The balloon was ninety feet long, and was
inflated with hot air When the ropes were
cut, it shot up skyward with great swift
ness, while dangling to suspended
trapeZe bar was Mexican performing
many wonderful and exciting ieats. The
balloon assembled until the trapeze perform
er looked like toy, and then it soon began
descending, with its human freight, and
finally collapsed in the garden OF Mr.. Chas.
Rogers, on Church street, not however be-
fore it struck an apple tree. The Mexican
turned up all right.
