Jury DemOraIIned.

A witness in the trial of G, S. Nor
man, accused of allowing gambling in
his house, testified in the Criminal
Court to day that he knew the charge
to be true, as he had heard the rattle
Of the dice and money. The witness
was so deaf that he had to sit nearly
on the arms of the jury when giving
his testimony. The classic attorney
for the defense accordingly made a
point. Gentlemen Of the jury" said
the attorney, this witness has not
heard the thunder sinceVulcan welded
the chain armor upon the godly form
of Jupiter on Mount Olympus. As
a consequence the jury are hung.

Glover Raising.

A few years ago clover raising in this
section was declared by skeptics as impos,
sible and that the man who planted his
land in clover seed was wasting time and
money But this idea has for some time
been dissipated. 1t has been practically
demonstrated that clover can not only be
successfully raised here, but there is big
money in it. Mr.. w. ]. Manning tells us
that so far this year he has cut and sold off
of six acres enough clover to average forty
dollars per acre. He says it is about the
easiest money he can make, and he could
sell twice as much if he had it. The land
in Cobb county is susceptible of the highest
state of productiveness, and all you have to
do is to cultivate it right.
Mr.. Manning is not only farmer who
believes in raising everything at home that
he can, but he puts it into practice. He
has bought and uses number of agricultu-
raj labor-saving machines, which prove
great auxiliaries in the successful cultivation
and harvesting of his crops. He also has
a fine Berkshire sow with ten pigs, which
he would not take less than seventy five
dollars for.

Editors Journal il have noticed in recent

Commissioner suggesting the organization OF
a Normal Glass in this county during this
summer
desire to say, speaking for myself, that 1
heartily approve the suggestion Of MI Power
| think normal classes, or schools, properly
conducted are mos efficient means of eleva-
ting the standard of qualification among te CHI
ers and of advancing the great work of eduea-
ton If teachers generally would organize
themselves into classes or associations and hold
freq uent meetings for the purpose of mutual
consultation aud interchange of views on all
matters pertaining to the advancement OF the
work in which they are engaged, incaleulable
good might be derived therefrom. Certainly
no class Of persons in our country need the ad
vantages to be derived from such source more

Being on rather - .our of investigation

outward bound express few days after |
was taking notes Of persons and things gen
orally, strolling along one evening very
lesurely | was attracted by crowds of per
sons both young and old seeming on some
business intent, hurrying along some going
and some coming back. With no little curl
osity followed them and soon found my
self in ID. F. McClatchy's store, where |
saw everything to eat for man and beast
among which. were the best Chicago Beef
both the dried and canned, Canned Tongue
Canned Tripe, Sardines, Salmon, HOLSTERS,
canned Fruits. Olive Oil, Pickles, all kinds
and sizes of jar the best Sugars, Syrups,
Coffee, Rice. Grits Lard, Hams, (the best),
the best Baking Powders, Prices, Hors

the best and purest flavoring extracts, and
fine Perfumes, Bay Rum, Florida Water.
etc. fine Candies, Stick and French GALL

idea of the many good and nice things
which | there saw, but | there resolved, if

The Wild Beast Again.

We don't want TO alarm anybody, but
the wild beast, which so many people
dubbed the "hyena," but which is doubts
less cougar or panther, has returned
again, bringing with it a cub. On Friday
night last, about 10 O'Clock, Rev. |. NJ.
Springer was aroused from his slunbers by
the noise of apparently a terrible dog fight.
He went out to the front gate, and, ny the
light OF the moon, he saw the wild beast
engaged in fight with dog, belonging to
a colored man living in Mr.. Springer S
yard. 1t had the dog by the throat drag
ging it up the street MIR. Springer spoke
sharply to it, when it loosened its hold,
jumped backwards against the fence, glared
at Mr. Springer, and then wheeled and
bounded out of sight. Mr.. j. G. Hughes,
superintendent of National Cemetery, was
attracted by the noise and saw the animal
also, and could have shot it, but feared
alarming the ladies in the neighborhood.
Next morning the dog was found dead,
where the fight occurred, with it's throat
cut and pool of blood near by. The wild
animal appeared to Mr.. Springer to be quite
large long body, bulky shoulders, and of a
light yellow or brown color. 1t has been
seen, with its cub, previous to this. Miss
Page, on going to her home, near the cor
porate limits, the other day, saw the
panther, followed by it's cub, leap the fence
without touching the rails. On seeing her,
they wheeled and jumped back over the
fence and disappeared. 1t is certainly nc
myth, but is an animal whose huge proper
tions would make it a dangerous foe to com
hat

handsomest silk quilt our optics ever be
held. 1t is the handiwork of Mrs. f. F.
Anderson of this place, and is called the

less variety of bright hued pieces embodied
in it. 1t has skillful designs of flowers,
pansies, birds, butterflies, fans, horse shoes,
hearts, hands, &C., embroidered in different
shades of silk floss 1t must be seen to bt
appreciated We also saw another very
handsome silk quilt, made by Mrs. Ander

ful work must be very fascinating indeed tC

a Mad Dog.

Ion Wednesday of last week, Mr.. Win
Chambers dog. at Kennesaw mountain,
went mad and took wide sweep in the
neighboi hood. He bit Mr. Griggs, track
hand on the w. & A. r. R., in the calf of
the leg, and passed on to Mr. S. ]. Bald>
wins house and attacked his little four year
old daughter, who was in the yard, tearing
her clothes, but fortunately not touching
her flesh He then made leap at little
negro girl, near by, and knocked her down.
He visited several houses and bit dogs be-
longing to Mr.. John Baldwin, Mr.. H. NJ.
Gatlin and Mr. r. NJ. Granting. He also
bit several hogs belonging to Judge Carrie.
Great excitement prevailed in the neighbor
hood until some parties followed up the
rabid animal and killed it.

Itineranr Beggars

Two men, with two bears and two
tambourines; an old bag of woman accom-
panied by monkey and leading horse
hitched to two wheeled wagon; a woman
leading donkey upon the back of which
two children were strapped, invaded our
town last Monday morning begging for
s'neekuls." 1t was disgusting sight, and
we were sorry for the bears, monkey and
donkey that were forced to associate with
such low down specimens of humanity.
There ought u be law to prohibit such
able bodied mendicants from travelling the
streets of civilized communities in such in
decent plight. They are able to work and
make an honest living, which seems to us
would be fal more preferable than display
ing so much cheek in soliciting aims.
