Mr.. G. L. Daniel, our efficient Tax
| Receiver furnishes statement, in another
column, of the tax returns of Cobb county,
which shows an increase of taxable proper
ty of $685. This is a good showing,
and evidence that Cobb county is going for
ward in all the elements of wealth. 1t also
reflects decided credit upon Mr.. Daniel in
the faithful discharge of duty.
Our town is drummed a good deal for
job printing by Atlanta solicitors. If our
business men will patronize home they
will find our work is as neat and as cheap
as any Atlanta printing establishment We
guarantee to do your printing at Atlanta
| prices. Our merchants fuss and flme be-
cause some of our citizens buy most every
thing they need in Atlanta, and ought to,
for we all should patronize home when we
| can-yet some of our business houses give
Atlanta their job printing. Oh consistency,
thou art level.
IA negro woman, whose name we aid
not get, was in town Monday, who said
$50 bundles of oats, and large amount of
fodder, and it took hard work to get the
mule out of the stable to keep it from being
burned up also. She says attempts have
been made to burn her house, and they are
now keeping close watch to detect the
incendiary. The heartless wretch who
would be guilty of such diabolical work,
should have no place among civilized peo-
Pile.
Hon. Frank Irwin, of Cobb, introduced
into the Legislature, on Monday last IA bill
to appropriate money to put headstones
over the graves of the Confederate soldiers
at Marietta :" Referred to the finance com
mittee. This is an excellent BILL and in
accordance with our advocacy. and we hope
the Legislature will do themselves the cred
it to pass the bill. There is not a true Geor-
gian that will oppose this bill, fine will
consider the question in its true bearing up
on Southern honor and patriotism.
