A Horse Thief.

On Friday morning, white man giving
his name as White hired a horse and buggy
from Mr. J Spilmau, of this place, to go to
Lawrencevlle and return, two days time.
A negro driver named Strick, accompanied
him. Arrivingat Lawrenceville that night,
the horse was put in the hotel stable
The negro driver staid with some colored
people During the night the white man
stealthily harnessed the horse to the buggy
and lett in the direction OF Athens. The
negro driver next morning WIS astounded
to find the horse, buggy and man missing.
He at once telegraphed to Mr. Spilman the
facts. The nine O'Clock train was about
leaving Marietta when Mr.. Spilman handed
the telegram to Mr.. w. p. Stephens and re-
quested him to go to Athens and catch the
thief Mr. Stephens, without any descrip-
ton or preparation, had only time to board
the train. Arriving in Atlanta, he tele-
graphed ahead to Athens. and then conclud-
ed he would give Atlanta a saerch before he
left. At the very outstart he got on track
of the thief, he having left livery stable,
which Mr. S. visited, but a few minutes.
On Broad street he saw an auctioneer about
to sell horse and buggy. The horse he
recognized rs Mr.. Spilman's, owing to the
| fact that he had drove him on one occasion.
Mr.. S. waited for the thief to make some
sign of ownership. In few minutes a
young man about five feet, nine inches tall,
with fair complexion, dark hair, small
moustache, grey eyes, and about 26 years
old. stepped up, and, in reply to an inquiry
of the auctioneer, said the horse was eight
years old At this juncture, Mr.. Stephens
laid his hand on the young man and told
him he would take charge of him and the
horse and buggy. He was the worst as
| tonished man you ever saw. He said he
was in for it, and wanted to compromise
the matter. He refused to give his name,
but some envelopes, found in his peck
cts, bore the address of Hugh L. W. Logan,
Marysville, Blount county, Tenn, which
he afterwards acknowledged to be the place
OF his home Mr.. Stephens brought the
| prisoner to Marietta Saturday afternoon and
placed him jail Mr. Splman, in the mean
time, had journeyed to Lawren ceville by
private conveyance. He returned Sunday
afternoon On Monday the prisoner was
carried back to Atlanta for trial, as it was
considered that this county had no jurisdic-
| ton.

MARIETTA.

Marietta is growing city, but
lacks the men of push and energy
that are carrying Atlanta to the
front. Situated on the state road
in the midst of a fertile country, her
merchants ought to do heavier busi-
ness than they get, and they seem
ingly take life easily and permit
their more ambitious neighbors
to reap harvests that naturally are
theirs They talk with pride of
their pure air and fine location,
which deserve all their econiums,
aud they boast of their -four mill
aud chair factory, both crediIable
enterprises. But it they don't wake
up they will lose the great traffic
the North Georgia road is opening
the door to and Atlanta will get it.
One hundred aud twenty miles in O
direct line of the richest country 10
the United States will soon be pour>
ing ito varied products into Atlanta
lap, because there are no merchants
in Marietta wise enough to look af
ter and secure it. One of the great
est wheat and corn producing secs
tons of the South is traversed by
this narrow-gusge road. Minerals
and timbers of many kinds and of
great value are in the mountains,
Fruits and vegetables in almost fab.
ulous quantities, chickens, eggs,
butter, beef and mutton will be sent
to market over this road. All these
could be handled and distributed
through the southern markets from
Marietta, and add immensely to the
traffic and wealth of her merchants.
In fact, a splendid opening for first
class men can be found at Marietta
to day, but after the people along
the line of this road shall have es-
tablished connections with merchants
else WI here, it will be difficult to get
their trade. These people give
their confidence slowly, but when
once it is won, nothing is easier
than to retain it. Ia Georgia,
"stick to your friends" is the uni
versal rule, and in no part of the
state is it more tenaciously observed
than in the mountain counties -

JUDGE RoYTs ADDRESS.

ATLANTA, Ga September Is, 1882 To the
voters of the thirty fifth senatorial district OF
Georgia The democratic convention OF this
district met here on the 9Th instant to nominate
a candidate tor senator. The delegates were
gentlemen of the very highest character. Col.
j. T. Spence, Mr.. ID. p. Furguson and myself
were the only persons proposed to the conven-
ton tor nomination. We We're all voted for
On the second day of the convention l was
waited upon by committee of three, at the
head of which was my friend Colonel Doyal,
the chairman of the Clayton county delegation.
and informed that l was unanimously nomina'
ted TO be the candidate OF the party for senator
from this district, and requested to so before
the convention and accept the nomination. l
complied with their request. While before the
convention never heard any sort OF protest or
objection to nv nomination. The convention
through its committee, through its chairman,
and before all its delegates, from all the coun-
ties in the district, certainly informed me that
| was its unanimous choice Could l have
any reason to doubt il | had no right-to in
auire through what discussions they had arriv-
ed at the result of my nomination, and no
desire to do so, IL was their duty to
settle it, and they had settled it unani.
mously. and simply accepted the situation.
As lifelong democrat, / thought it my duty
and the duty of every democrat, and espec'
tally every one who takes part in it, eth
or as delegate or candidate, to abide by the &C.
ton of the party conventions, more especially
where that action is unanimous. My friend.
Col Spence in his manly letter, evidently
takes this view, and | beg leave TO ask my old
friend Mr.. Furguson to investigate this ques-
ton. | think if he will, he will change his
opinion, and feel bound by the unanimous &C.
ton of the convention before which his name
was submitted. Any other rule than this
would break up any party in the country.
1t seems to me there are but two questions
to be decided by all democrats, to- wit: lst
Was this a democratic convention ID Did
this convention unanimously nominate 5. b..
Hoyt If they answer yes, then they are
bound to vote for Hoyt
am sorry there has been any trouble about
this NATTER but do hope that the "second go
Der thought" of all good democrats will allay
all i'll feeling and lead us all to rally around
the grand old flag that has 80 long led the
democratic party to victory in good old GeoF-
gia.
II elected, / pledge myself to work hard tc
promote the interests OF the entire district

Golden Wedding.

On Wednesday evening, 18th inst, DIR.
B. Lowrey and wife, of this city, cclebra
ted the fiftieth anniversary of their mar
rage. A large number of guests crowded
their hospitable home. Among 1.-THE num-
Der present, we noticed that Atlanta, Rome,
LAGRANGE and Gainesville were represented.
1t was truly an an occasion fit for congrat-
ulations and good wishes For fifty years this
worthy couple have, hand in hand, trod the
rugged ways of an eventful life; and to
have seen them on this festival occasion,
surrounded by friends and relatives, faces
beaming with smiles and hearts bounding
with joy, would indeed have impressed
you with the fact that the holy institution
of marriage was not only capable of hallow-
ing life, linked in destiny, but was suscep-
tible of identifying and giving golden tints
to mellow age, calling forth the exclamation
"Blesscd be the tie that binds,
Two souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one"
Mr. and Mrs. Lowrey reconsecrated
themselves on the altar of Hymen, by hav
ing Rev. T. A. Seals to repeat the marriage
ceremony. 1t was true, that no license wal
needed for this occasion, but the responses
were just as sincere. The presents, consist
ing of variety of valuable articles and I
quantity of gold coin, made an elegant dis
play. The supper was an exceptionally
fine one, sumptuous and rich On two o.
the handsomely trimmed cakes were the
snowy figures, 1882 and 1882"
May the remaining days of the happy
couple, on this mundane sphere, be those OF
pleasantness and peace, and when the sun
of their lives is about to set, may its bright
effulgences light up the voyage of dark
shadows" and in the Celestial city" may
they be re- united to walk its golden streets
and drink its sweetest music throughout the
illlimitable ages of eternity.

Death of Mr.. w. C. Mcclellan

Ii is with sadness that we chronicle the
death of Mr.. William G. Mcclellan, Depu-
ty Sheriff of this county, which occurred at
Mr.. Thomas McLellan's residence, four
miles from Marietta, on last Sunday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The deceased was taken
sick about one month ago with catarrhal
fever, and at one time it was thought the
disease was arrested and that he would re
cover, but relapse came and he grew
worse until death ended his sufferings.
He was 80 years old and unmarried He
was well-known and highly esteemed by
our people, and, in his death, our commun-
ity has lost good citizen and the county a
faithful officer He was buried on last
Monday afternoon, at the city cemetery,
with Odd Fellow honors. Peace to his
ashes.
