ACWORTH.

Miss Nettie Collins. who has been
teaching near Norcross, is making her pa.
rents in Acworth short visit. Miss Net
tie is quite favorte in Acworth and her
many friends gladly welcome her home
again.
...Messrs. r. f. Moore & Co have been
receiving some fine white wheat from Cali
fornia. We think il is a poor sign of pros.
perity when the Banner county" of Geor
gia is compelled to ship her bread from the
far away hills of the Pacific slope and we
trust the like will never occur again.
North Georgia can never be an indepen
dent, prosperous and happy people until
they cease to depend upon the west TO pro
duce their provisions.
We regret to note that Acworth has at
last had failure. On last Friday. Mr. Ill,
b. Goodwin closed his doors and made an
assignment He turned his goods, etc,
consisting of general merchandise, over to
Mr. Locke his clerk, whom he appointed
his Assignee. For some reason the credi-
tors objected to Mr.. Locke, and Mr.. j. p.
Reed was agreed upon as Assignee. We
have not learned the amounts of his assets
and liabilities.
The Sabbath Schools of Acworth, joint
ly, expect to have picnic on Friday the
9TH day of May. All the schools near
us are cordially invited to attend, and it is
hoped that it will be made day of general
pleasure and pass time. Gov Colquitt and
other prominent speakers are expected to
address the schools. ARIEL.
...Some excitement prevailed in our town
on last Monday night. Two well dressed
men were seen loafing around on our
streets about II O'Clock After they had
been slipping around very suspiciously un-
til about 10 clock, they were arrested by
our night watchmcn, VIM. Leopard, assisted
by II. S Hull, NJ. NJ. Phillips and Robert
Butler. But the arrested gentlemen were
released by promising they would leave the
town. which they did. Acworth has very
strict laws after night which are very rig
idly executed.
...Some of our farmers report some rust
on wheat We hope it will not spread
much for it would prove very disastrous
at this stage.
...Rev. A. G. johnson preached very
interesting sermon at the Presbyterian
Church last Sunday and 1t gives the writer
neffable pleasure, to commend the good
nothing more embeishing to Il young lady
or gentleman, than to be distinguished by
good behavior
1.-Two couples of young men and ladies
from Marietta, made quite display through
our streets on horse back one day last week.
The young ladies carried themselves very
gracefully, but rode rather rapidly over our
rough streets SCALES.

COUNTRY AGAINST TOWN.

The following is taken from Maj
Sykes Fayetteville speech and has
much in it that would DO well to
heed.
am aware that some men at
tempt to create prejudice against
the town people in the minds Of the
farmers and other citizens of the
country Is not this very narrow
and contracted policy, aud does it
not indicute a shallow mind 7 How
are the interest of the town aud
country antsgonistic ! When the
country prospers, when its crops
are good and its production increas
es, the town is benefited. When
the town prosper, when its trade
aud business increase, it is able to
pay the farmer more for his products
and to sell him what he has to buy
at cheaper rates. Again, as the
town grows in wealth and taxable
property 1t pays greater proper
ton of the taxes of the country
which go to build bridges or make
other improvements in various por-
tons of the country. In addition,
the town pays for its own streets
and other improvements which the
country people enjoT in common
with the citizens OF town. AS the
town grows and increases in popu>
Iation and wealth, the value of land
in the country increases. Their in-
terests are identical they are Siam
ese twins in this respect ; you can
not separate the enc from the other.
Opposition between the country and
the town is as unnatural and IS IN
wise as antsgonism between a man
and his wife, which unfortunately
sometimes occurs. The man who
would attempt to get up this feeling
is the friend Of neither and the
enemy of both, 1t is small order
of demsgogism which sensible men
both in the country and 10 town
should look upon with loathing aud
disgust. 1t Injuries all aud benefits
no one 1t is the outgrowth of ig~
norance or of something worse.
Large cities have their evils, but
they generally affect their own cit,
liens more than others, and | am
now not speaking of large cities,
but of our own country towns which
are not in much danger of becoming
cities of much magnitude. The
country has its advantages and its
uses. One should not claim, and
does not possess, preference over
the other, but as their interests are
identical there should be the utmost
harmony and good feeling between
them, free from small prejudices and
little chickering's.

We had fine rain on last Saturday
that revived things generally. We heard
some of our farmers say that the leaves
grew so much in one night that they hard
Iy knew whether they were at home or not
when they got up in the morning.
The Dallas High School will have a
picnic on May 9Th at Cams bridge, three
miles from town. There will be several
speeches on the occasion. We hope that
the little folks will have nice time.
THE ring of the hammers early and
late will show that our town is not yet fin
ished. There are four dwellings now be-
fng constructed and others preparing to
build. There has been six dwelling houses
completed since Christmas.

both Fred and his little treasure Of wife,
who were just preparing to sit down to tea

HOW ALLIGAToRs BAT.

An alligator's throat is an ANNA"
ted sewer. Everything which lodg
es in bis open mouth goes down.
He is a lazy dog, and, instead of
bunting tor something to eat, he let's
bis victuaIs hunt for him. That is,
he lies with his great mouth open,
apparently dead, like the 'possum.
Soon a big bug cra~Is into it, then
a fly, Thea several gnatS and colo
ny of mosquitoes. The alligator
don't close his mouth yet. He is
waiting for whole drove Of things.
He does his eating by wholesale.
A little lizard will cool himself un
der the shadow Of the upper jaw.
Then a few frogs will hop up to
catch the mosquitoes. Then more
mosquitoes and guats light on the
frogs Finally a whole village of
insects and reptiles settle down for
an afternoon picnic Then all at
once there is an earthquake. The
big jaw falls, the alligator slylJ
blinks one eye, guips down the en-
tire mensgerie, and opens his great
front door for more visitors.

TIRED OF LIFE.
Two Attempts to Commit Suicide.

"a white man by the name of Ashland
n. Cook, who Was arrested recently in De
kalb county, for stealing some clothing
from Mr.. Glore in this county, aud who
was placed in Jail at this place, has made
two attempts in the last few days to com
nit suicide When he made his first AT
tempt he had companion in his iron
cage by the name of johnson. Cook told
johnson that he intended to hang himself
Johnson replied AN right, go ahead, /"
Cook then took his coat and fastened one
sleeve around his neck and the other to u
bar of the iron cage, and swung Oft He
was in fair away of choking himself to
death, when johnson concluded il would
be best to relieve him Of his perilous posi-
ton His second attempt was when he
was in his cage alone. He tore strip from
his blanket and fastened one eud to an iron
bar and other to his neck and swung off
He did considerable kicking and this violent
process snapped the blanket asunder and he
fell to the floor apparently insensible, with
ewes protruding and Il swollen neck Cook
is young white man about twenty five
years old, and it is said he is of Il respec!a-
Bile family. H. is either crazy, Il mighty
big fool, or Il regular sharper 1t is believ'
ed that he is playing part.

Every street leading from the square
shows more or less signs Of improvement.
There is a certain feeling of patriotism
or devotion to our lost cause that should
never be lessened still there is no doubt
but that time has tendency to wear away
that amount of zeal which is always exhib
tied in the beginning OF a custom or cele
bration Therefore to those who are still
active workers in the cause, whose zeal no
languor knows, and by whose efforts the
custom is not only continued but is instill-
ed with new life from year to year we con
tend that while generally person should
receive no credit for doing duty still this
is an exception, and to this handful of ear
nest and patriotic workers, prompted by a
love for the memory Of those who died in a
good but unsuccessful cause, we say you
should have your reward.

Rev. Sam p. Jones on last Sunday af

Church, preached sermon to men only,
and he had large audience. He handled
the fragrant vices OF society without gloves,
and made sin appear very hateful, indeed.
At night he preached again to one Of the
largest congregations ever assembled in
that church. The sermon was powerful
presentation of Gods word, foicibly i'm
pressive and sensibly pathetic. He did
good while here and we hope he will come
again.
