An Incubator.

...Some weeks ago Mr.. A. B. Gilbert
made an incubator, consisting of a large air
tight, box, containing drawer divided
into small partitions, with gauze cloth
bottom. Immediately over this drawer was
a large zinc tank capable of holding twenty
five gallons of water-a space of eighteen
inches intervening between the drawer and
tank. On top of the tank was funnel for
pouring in hot water and at the end was a
faucet for letting it off, when its tempera>
ture had to be increased or diminished. -
The drawer was the NEST or place for the
eggs, where thermometer was kept to de.
termiue the temperature requisite for the sue
cessful Matching of the eggs. The tempera>
ture was not allowed TO run up over 1902
degrees, and not to fall less than 96. AT
ter filling up the tank with warm water, he
only had to add quart of warm water a
day, as the saw dust packed around the
tank in the chest, kept the steam within,
and the water cooled very slowly. The
eggs required cooling off at times and had
to be turned three times day Twenty
one days ago, Mr.. Gilbert placed in his
incubator seventy>6ve eggs and began to
test its Matching ability which required daily
attention as described above. Out of this
number were Matched SO young chickens,
which he has taken out Of the steam cham
Der and turned over to some hens who are
caring for them with motherly attention.
The incubator is success, and reflects
credit on Mr.. Gilbert's ingenuity.

Tate Spring Water.

| In addition to our Soda Water, which is
asserted to be the best ever sold in Marietta,
we now have ON draught by the gallon in
glass bottles, and in barrels, water from
Tate EPSON Spring. The use OF this water
has effected more cures than any Spring in
the world. Not a single individual has
ever visited the spring without being per-
manently cured, and if you will call at our
store you can see nnumerable testimonials
of its efficacy hundreds of miles from the
Springs. Who suffers with torpidity OF the
Liver, Constipation, Bilious Collie, Indi-
gestion, or any of the diseases of the Liver
or Stomach that would not pay Doctor
five times the amount necessary to get re-
lief through the use of the water? That
this is no humbug, you have the first citi>
zens of the town to testify. No one could
speak in higher praise of these Springs from
personal experience than ourselves, but as
we are now interested in the sale of the wa
ter, we take pleasure in pointing you to
others, for testimonial in favor of the wa
ter, either here or at the spring. We have
accepted the agency, believing many of our
citizens would be benefited by its use, and
we are gratified beyond measure at the good
reports coming from those who are now
avaling themselves of the golden opportun>
ity to get well at one>tenth the expense OF
leaving home and friends for visit of six
weeks to two months. We offer this water
at the advertised rate at the Spring, freight
added. Test it for yourselves, and you will
never have cause to regret 1t.
LEAKE & MCCREA.
P. s. In addition to repairing your liv-
err we have something for your appetite that
is both cheap and good. Call and see us.

A RANCH LARGER THAN RHODE
IsLAND.-T The largest rancho in
Texas is that of Charles Goodnight,
located at the head Red river. He
began bnying land four years age,
securing 100000 acres at 80 cents
an acre. In the meantime the price
has advanced from ST to 81 per
acre, but he is still buying, and now
controls 100000 acres. To inclose
his landed possession 25O miles OF
fencing is required. Mr.. Goodnight
has a herd of 40, 900 cattle. When
it is considered that the whole State
of Rhode Islsud, contains only 674,-
944 acres, it will be seen what an
immense amount of land this mans
possessions cover. Miller q Lux own
as much land in California as Mr..
Goodnight does in Texas. They
have 100000 acres in the San Joa>
quin Valley alone. - GaI0eston Ne'oS'

A Boy Drowned.

Tommy Miller aged six years, son OF
Mr.. &. W. and S. E. Miller, was drowned
last Saturday evening in Powder Springs
creek. He came town with his little broth
ers, and got strayed of from them, and the
supposition is that he tried to cross the
creek to where some little boys were play
ing ball and fell in. At first there was not
much excitement, thinking he was at some
of the neighbors' houses, At about s
O. clock the search began. Some boy said
he got little straw hat out of the creek.
He went and showed where he got the hat
at. Mr.. ID. c. Matthews took Oft bis
clothes and walked in on log and swung
off by some vines, and found him in few
minutes and pulled him up to the top with
his feet. Tommy told his mother that day
that he was most grown and would not be
with her much longer, and said II she
would let him go to town he would buy her
a box of snuff with his nickel, and the box
was found in his coat pocket.

Worthy Artists.

I'VE desire to call the attention of the
citizens of Marietta to two worthy artists,
Messrs. Mozley & Warlick, who have made
such proficiency in taking photographs, etc.,
that they deserve special mention. We
have recently seen some Of their work, exc
cuted by their newly adopted process, and
we must in all candor say that the work was
first class and highly creditable to the beau
tiful art of photography. There is no ex-
cuse for any one going elsewhere to get
pictures, when these gentlemen can do so
we'll Call and see them.

AZ 600 Better on.

The late Judge T. ]. Atkinson had an in
surance policy OF $1,000 in the Southern
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Louis
Vile, KY, taken out in 1851 and paid to
1873. In the last named year some of the
stockholders became dissatisfied and asked
for a Receiver. Matters having been final
ly adjusted, the Company resumed bust
ness. An Agent was in Marietta this week
to get up the necessary certificates, receipts,
&C., with a view to pay to Mrs. Atkinson
the 81, 900 ON her deceased husbands poll
cy. We are truly glad of this fortunate
find, and hope this estimable and worthy
family will receive every dollar of it.

How to Prevent Cow From Sucking
Herself

EDS JOURNAL II any of YOU readers own
a COW who is practically worthless by suck
ing herself, they may be glad to hear OF suc-
cessful experiment in preventing the habit.
Spiked muzzles and Jokes had been tried in
vain and the two gallons at milking which
the animal gave while up in stanchions, dwln
died v hen she was pastured to miserable
pint. The final remedy was to buckle around
the cows girth a stout webbing circinRle, on
one side Of which just above the point Of the
elbow was securely sewed lengthwise an iron
ring. To this was attached with stout cord, or
small rope, one end OF smooth hardwood
stick, about one inch or more in diameter, and
the other end made fast to the cows horn on
same side at ITS base, perhaps three inches play
being permitted by the rope aud ring The
stick should be Just long enough to enable the
cow to stand with her head in natural posi-.
ton, and Of course this last can be raised and
lowered at will. ANY effort TO turn her head
towards her bag will be thwar:ed by the stiff
resistance OF the stick, but she can feed and lie
down in perfect comfort. At first one OF these
sticks was attached to each side but this pre-
vented an easy position while lying down, 50
one WAS removed and the other answered every
requirement
This annoying habit is probably due to the
custom of letting calves suekle MI year oId
or weaned by the COW. The heller never Tor
gets her taste for milk, which she gratifies from
her own bag when opportunity offers. BY
teaching a calf which is to be raised, to drink
from pail when one to three days old 10y at
frsf putting the milk ia her mouth with the
6n0err) sbe much sooner becomes less trouble
some TO feed, and the COW is more easily milk
ed and managed than if the mixer depends on
the help of the sucking calf. d.

ACwORTH,

...On Monday night last, about 10 o'clock,
as DIR. J. r. HUMPHREYS was about retiring
to bed he discovered some one watching at
his window, and hastily procuring his re-
volver, he sprang out at the window just
in time to see negro dart under the house
The doctor Immediately began firing under
the floor and soon heard foot steps on the
opposite side of the house He ran around
the house and fred few shots, but sue
ceeded in capturing nothing except the ne
gro's hat. Several parties, we learn, think
they recognize the hat.
The remains of Samuel Lawhou were
inferred in Acworth cemetery on last Sum
day in the presence of large concourse OF
relatives and friends. He was killed near
Alfalfa, Ala, in a wreck on the railroad.
We extend to the bereaved relatives our
sincere sympsthies in their hour OF atiic-
,ion LHo.

The Library Association


The Marietta Library Association is
making fair progress, but not such progress
as its intrinsic worth to the city should
command We know that some of our citi-
zens are so situated that they cannot give
this deserving enterprise the aid they would
like to, yet we feel that there are large
number, who can not only join and by their
presence encourage it, but can add hand
some contribution TO its treasury with which
to buy useful and interesting books. Rome,
Atlanta, Townsville and other places have
success fully built up Libraries in their res
pective towns that have added much to their
reputation The benefit to accrue from a
we'll equipped and literally furnished library
TO our town, could not fail to be incalcula-
BILE if properly managed. Will not our citi
zens respond to this worthy effort and push
it forward? In the mean time we would
suggest to the members of this Library AS
ISOLATION that newspaper putting will not
alone build up this enterprise. 1t will take
money. Personal effort and indomitable
energy will be required. To get money,
you will have to resort to the modes adopted
by Atlanta and other places. Secure lee
turers, Charging an admission fee OF
course), hold art exhibitions, entertain
ments, festivals, etc, and induce some
wealthy friends to make liberal donations.
II has taken years of such unflagging, assid-
uous work as this, for Atlanta to bring her
library 10 its present magnificent proper
tons. Marietta, of course, being smaller
place. has not the material in wealth and
population to reach such grand success.
but Marietta can succeed to an extent that
will be credtable to the tow if our citizens
will aid To the best of their several abilities,
and the members will give their energies
the proper direction.

What Marietta Needs.

Marietta needs many things to make
her prosperous. In the first place we need
more public spirit in her citizens and less
croaking, and will to do and risk dollars
and cents in factories, mills, etc. To build
up our city, we need such enterprises TO
to give employment to mechanics, thereby
adding to our population, who will rent our
houses, and buy from our merchants, their
groceries, dry goods, drugs, etc. All chan
nels of trade would receive direct and tangi-
BILE benefit from such industrial and manu-
featuring enterprises. Who will be the first
to make move in this direction?
1t takes money. Are you willing to
co .operate2 Now is the time to inaugurate
some one of the enterprises. If Marietta
could only add one new manufacturing en-
terprise every year, it would be steady
progress that would make her city of in
creased population and Astounding in wealth.
We would take pleasure in such growth.
Marietta has superior natural advantages
and there is no reason why she should not
90 forward, if lethargy was thrown of, and
energy and money exerted to accomplish
such desirable results.

the barn and stable of Mrs. T. j. Atkinson

clover hay and oats, and burned very rap
idly and was completely enveloped in
flames when the Hook and Ladder and Fire
Engines arrived at the scene. A COW and
hog were locked up in the stable, but some
one had broken open the door and they es-
capped Evidently the fire originated by the
hand of an incendiary.
