The picnic is over and we think that
it was a success. Pro. Duncan and lady
are well up to the art of having little folks
enjoy themselves. The speeches we're very
appropriate for the occasion, but it was
thought that Prof d. made the best speech

dinner was ready. There was plenty to
eat and plenty left. The day was spent
very pleasantly by all.

ACWORTH,

Our people are becoming alarmed to a
considerable extent about small pox, and a
great many are being vaccinated, which we
think is quite wise precautiOn. Our town
council have also passed an ordinance OF
quarantine against the cities of Atlanta
Chattanooga, Gainesville and Rockmart.
While we desire that every necessary pre-
caution be taken to secure our town against
the loathsome disease, we doubt whether
the regulations as passed will meet the APP
probation of our citizens, or whether they
can be successfully carried out. The great
est danger we apprehend is from tramps
and scalawags WHO are wandering about
from place to place, and who will bring it
into our midst before can be known by the
authorities 1t is not presumable that such
characters would know OF our town regula
tions, and it would be useless to fine and
imprson them after they had brought the
disease into our midst The proper way we
think would be to guard the trains as they
come in and place guards around our town.
The first meeting of the Musical Asso-
citation vas held last Friday evening at the
Christian church. We are told that there
was a large crowd out and that the exer-
cises were very satisfactory
Miss Sallie Roberts, Of Cherokee has
been visiting Acworth. She is quite ia
vorite in our town.
Mrs. Tanner wife of Mr. S. J.. Tanner,
an old and respected citizen who lives two
miles from town, died the past week. Her
death was caused by cancer which has
been on her face for over forty years. We
tender our sympathes to the bereaved.
Crops continue to look finely. There
is some complaint of rust in wheat but as q
general thing it is excellent.
THE picnic on last Friday was quite q
success. About Il o'clock large congre-
CATION assembled at the Presbyterian church
where they were addressed by Revs. A. G.
Johnston, II. NJ Quillian, J. G. Holmes
and J. J. Northcutt, Esq. The addresses
we're all well timed and gave credit to the
speakers as well as pleasure to their hearers.
Alter so ne excellent music by the Sabbath
School classes, all proceeded to u large
grove near by where there were plenty OF
well filled baskets to supply the vast crowd
with ample refreshments, to which proper
Justice was done. Late in the afternoon
all returned TO their several homes appa.
rently well pleased with the proceedings oil
the day. ARIEL.
One of those three bachelors, previously
alluded to, is making fine progress towards
the consumation of his promise this lall
He was made the recipient of beautiful
bouquet the other day. This betokes some
thing.
M. L. H. says he is not much appre-
hensiye of small pox, says he, II am using
precautionary means, which IS a huge
horse shoe over his store door. If this is a
preventative, give US more horse shoes
quickly. ,r :.
We saw more people nOdding in
Church last Sunday night than we have
seen for some time. Perhaps they had been
eating onions during the day:
1T is very provoking to a fellow, when
he wishes to 90 home with young lady
from church ana can't find his hat, and
after the young lady has gone, finds his
hat some two or three benches from him

Too fanny state Offices.

On this subject the Virginia Chron-
icle of the 10th makes the following
sensible suggestions to its party,
which is equally pertinent to the Re-
publicans. We have altogether too
many State officers, with high salaries,
who do very little work: The Demo
Gratis of Nevada could commend their
party to the favor Of the people by
incorporating in their State and
county platforms a plank pledging
the Legislative candidates to vote for
submitting to the people amendments
to the Constitution providing fora re-
duction in the number Of State Off
GERS.
Considering the small population of
the State and its financial condition,
it is absurd as it is wasteful to con-
tinue to maintain the present mum
Der OF officials. The Governor Is not
SO overburdened with work that he
could not get on without a private
secretary. The necessity for a Lieu
tenant-Governor does not appear.
Does any one know of any labor that
the SECRETARY of State has to perform
which requires the strvice OF a deputy
to assist him? OF what earthly use Is
a State Superintendent of Public In
struction? For six months past the
gentleman at present drawing the
salary of that sinecure has been edit
ing a newspaper i'll the eastern part
of the State, and the functions of his
ofice-if there be any-have not in
terfered at all with his editorial du-
ties. The Surveyor-General spends
nearly all his time in California, the
State generously furnishing a deputy
who does all the work.
Two men, working as hard as men
In ordinary business usually do,
could easily perform all the labor
that is now done in the State house at
Carson. There is not the least need
for any deputies, provided the chiefs
are capable OF doing the work oil their
offices.
The purely ornamental positions
should be done away with. This
would reduce the number of State
offices at least one-haif, and 1t would
involve = saving of many thousands
of dollars to the people.
