Marietta and North Georgia Railroad.

The Atlanta Herald wants the Governor
or the Legislature to take the convicts from
the building o. the Marietta and North Ga.
Railroad, because, it says, the owners of
the road are "Boston speculatsrs. This is
a fair specimen of how "small' some men
can be in dealing with public affairs
Georgians own stock in this road, and its
construction is opening up portion of
Georgia heretofore practically excluded
from the outer world the development of
which will add thousands Of dollars Of in
creased tax to the State treasury, to say
nothing of the great benefit to accrue to the
people in that section. The road cannot be
built and equipped with convict labor alone,
and Boston capitalists are meeting this de-
ficiency with ready cash, making perma-
nent investment, that cannot be removed
and the State and people will reap a large
share Of the benefit and no sensible man
could expect capitalists to devote time and
money and not be compensated. The road
has a legal right to the cOnvicts now at
work, and more too, for it never has had
the full quota granted by the Legislature.
The road is being rapidly pushed to compile
ton and it i'll take greater pressure than
the Herald can command to cripple it at
this iuncture of its progress.

DOUBLE MURDER.

On Friday, the 5;h instant, at
o'clock P. NJ, Mr.. Hsymsns and a
mulatto by the name of John Craig.
were engaged in trying to settle up
some little business (the latter hav"
ing been in the employ of the form
er) when they got into a quarrel ovn
err some turpentine boxes made by
Craig and condemned by Mr.. Hay
mans. Craig abused Mr.. Haymaus
aud Haymsns struck him with a
stick. After be had been struck
Craig drew his pistol and fired at
Mr.. Haymans the ball entering the
left side of the abdomen and passing
out of the right side and ranging up
wards. Haymaus, being unarmed,
then knocked the negro down with
stick and on dropping his pistol
he (Hsymans) rushed for it. Craig
not liking the situation recovered
himself and took to bis heels, but
when about thirty PAGES distance
Mr.. Haymans fred at him TO good
effect, the ball entered the negros
body Just under the shoulder blade
and passing through him. This
brought an end to the bloody pro-
ceeding as both men soon dropped
to the ground never to rise again in
this world. 1t seems thaA Mr., Hay,
mans had just strength enough to
shoot bis murderer one time before
it failed him and be certainly had a
good deal of nerve to kill his aHtag
onist after be had been mortally
wounded himself. 1t is certainly
one of the most wonderful murder
cases that it has ever been our duty
to chronicle, John Craig, the null
alto, died in just seven hours after
he was shot. Mr.. Haymans lived
until the following morning at seven
o'clock when he expired. The
above are the particulars SIS we
gathered them from an eyewitness
to the terrible tragedy. Craig, the
mulatto who was killed in the fight,
is said to have been a notorious des>
perado and murderer. After be had
been shot and just before he died he
acknowledged that Mr.. Hay man was
the fourth man he had killed. -DG

POETS CORNER.

Little by little. l will make my way,
Economy in all things will surely pay
First of all, my cocktails I'll discard,
Next that cigar must go-though It's hard /;
Drives, operas-the same fate must share,
This winter minus overcoat-pants not a
pair,
Still with all of this selfsacrifce,
Avaieth nothing if | hold to dice.
Now there is one thing yet to find,
How to save in grub, this [ mind,
But if by buying at cheaper rates,
still may have my well filled plates,
Then have | solved the problem of life,
To live at ease and please my wife;
To do this must go to the Poets Store
Of Leake q McCrea, from corner-only one
door
Where to all they give bargains in every
line.
Of staple and fancy goods, both nice and
fine;
Their motto is short profits, quick sales,
Polite attention to customers ladies or
males
If you fail to take my advice and stay away,
1t will be your loss tho no fault of Leake
& McCrea.
1t is a source of qualification to us to feel
that our efforts to furnish pure goods at
reasonable prices, is appreciated by the
people, bat when one of them comes for
ward unsolicited, and furnishes us with the
above poem as an advertisement, we are
more than gratitied. The poem itself is a
gem a bouquet" and evinces a poeti-
cal talent of the highest order, and we wei
come him as zone of us" By examining
line 9th, you will find that he says, This
lo6Rter minus overcoat-pants not pair. "
We are happy to state that this assertion is
merely 'poetical license" that is admissa-
BILE as our friend has at least one good pair
of pants that are hooked on to suspend
ers, strong enough to keep his wife or any
body else from robbing him of them.

FACrs AND FIGURES.

1t is fact that T. L. Hunt & Co. sell
groceries at lower figures than they can be
bought anywhere else. Last years trade
with them was such an advance on the
trade of the year before, that they have
determined to make this years even better
and in order to do so have determined to
sell their goods at the least possible margin
of profit and make the 'nimble penny stir
itself for their profits will be SO close that
If they do not emulate the early bird they
nvll fan behind. Now Us to enumerate the
various articles and their prices would be to
occupy more space than they are allowed
(for the money! and we will only say that
their stock of Sugars, Coffee, Rice, Syrup,
Flour, meal, meat, Lard NC, has been
bought at Rock Bottom and you can rely on
it that they. cannot be undersold and if ff-
teen years in the grocery trade is worth
anything in making up knowledge Of
quality and what the people want Law
renee Hunt ought to know and that will
account for the fact that their goods always
gives satisfaction. If you want a set of
Crockery, glassware, knives and forks IA
well bucket, broom, sitter or pocketknile
you can find it, canned fruits vegetables,
meats, oysters or fresh fish, pickles, sauces,
catsups, jellies, provisions &c.
p. S.
If you buy four packages of the Suntlower
brand of roasted coffee, you will get hand
some glass set worth seventy five cent AS
these sets are only given with the first one
hundred pounds of the coffee they will be
exhausted-call soon.

SELLING POSTAGE STAMPS.

Last night Captains Grim and
Moon arrested H, S. Awtry, post
master at Powder Springs. Mr..
Awtry came to Atlanta yesterday
and began selling postage stamps to
merchants on Peters street. Off
Ger Parish ascertained this fact and
arrested Awtry, but subsequently
released him and then stated the
facts to Captain Grim, who commu-
nicated with Chief Post-Offics In
spector Ivy. That United States
official requested Mr.. Awtry's ar
rest, if he was selling stamps at less
than their face value. The two
captains in investigating the case
ascertained that be had been so do
ing. To Mr. Graham, on Peters
street, be sold three cent stamps at
two and half cents; aud he also
sold some to ;Mr. Hazelett, on the
same street, be sold thirty four cent
STAN ps for one dollar. He also made
like sale to Mr.. Carlton, on Peters
street. Mr.. Awtry, who has been
postmaster at Powder Springs for
five years, has always borne good
reputation. He claims that he was
selling the stamps 10 order to make
his quarterly returns. Last night
he occupied cell No. 3 in the city

MAKING A BARREL AROUND a
BUNGHoLE.

Mr.. Mark L. Deering, mechani,
cal engineer, of this city, has recent
ly taken out a patent for barrel
without slaves or hoops, all in one
piece. The material be uses to
make this seamless barrel is wood
pulp. A certain amount of pulp is
placed in an iron cylinde, the inside
of which is shaped exactly like a
barrel, This cylinder is made to
revolve by an ingenious arrange"
ment both ways that is, the ordi-
nary way that a barrel would re
voIve, and revolve at the same time
head over head at right angles, at
about 100 revolutions minute. The
centrifugal force of this double rev.
olution throws the ipulp equally in
every direction, spreading it, so to
speak, equally all over the surface
of the cylinder. After being revolt
we'd in this manner for three or four
minutes air is then pumped through
the bung (Which is made tight
around the pipe conveying the air)
till pressure of 100 pounds to the
inch is obtained. This is done with
cut cessation of the movement of
the revolving cylinder. The pres
sure of this.air squeezes all the water
in the pulp through the brass lining
of the cylinder, which is perforated
with minute holes, and is carried
away in the grooves Of the iron cyl
inder. After being revolved for
three minutes under this pressure,
the two halves of the cylinder are
opened and perfectly shaped bsr
rel is taken, out, all complete, with
heads in, which is laid aside for
twenty -four hours for the purpose OF
being seasoned, when it is placed in
a drying room, heated By steam to
100 degrees of heat, and kept there
for about three days, when it is taxi
eu out ell finished for the market.

An architect in New York, speak
ing of building material, says: "Un-
der the rational order of things,
brick will survive centuries without
showing its age; but an iron struc~
ture, under the best care, will begin
to show the weight of years by the
close of it's first century. The iron
age has gone by in New York.
Ten years ago it was at his height,
as witness the blocks of iron build
ings in Mercer and Greene streets
and below Canal street. 1t was all
iron then. History is being repeat
ed. Now we are going back to first
principles. The first buildings of
any importance that were construct"
ed on Manhattan Island were OF
brick, brought from Holland for the
purpose. You know of what they
are made by the old Washington
Hotel and the old Dutch Church, sc
lately demolished, when they were
we'll into their second century. The
brick in them was like flint, growing
harder with age, and the mortar
was cemented to it,

A GOOD IDEA.

Editors Journal Il see that you allude to
a letter recently written by Senator Jos. E.
Brown in which he expresses regret that the
Legislature of Georgia rejected his so-called
proposed donation 10 the State University.
You say we take it for granted that he was
actuated by desire to benefit poor young men.
Now, Messrs. Editors, 1--WE think that if Sena
tor Brown has fifty thousand dollars and want
to use it in charitable way. let him bnild fifty
schoo houses in Cherokee, Cobb, Pickens and
Barlow counties, where he was raised aud
raised poor at that, and was taken up by the
kind charity of old DR.. Lewis and educated
Fifty thousand dollars would build fifty
school houses, and have teacher for each
one OF them for the first twelve months, 1t
would place one school house in each
Militia district in each one of the four counties,
aud give two or three in the districts. Where
the county sites are located, SIX hundred dol
lars would build nice and comfortable school
house, and four hundred dollar. would hire a
very fair teacher for at least the first ten months
and let them be mum bered l, 2, 3, and on
up TO fifty, and be known Seuator Jos. +.
Browns fifty thousand dollar school house
This would be charity indeed and truth and
make every man, woman and child his ltriend
for all time to come.

Governor Stephens is carrying q

close eye to the smaller details and
has instituted a comprehensive sys-

of expenditure is brought down to

8 Big Scare.

"A white man named Dickson got on
the train at Chattanooga, and while seated
by the stove he broke out thick with what
was supposed to be the small poX. The
poor fellow was very sick and he had hot
fever. panic among the passengers en-
sued, and the conductor put the small poX
patient off at Ringgold in the bitter cold.
When the next train came along he got on
board and the conductor put him oft at Dali
ton. The Daltonites became thoroughly
alarmed, and telegraphed to the Superin-
tendent of the Western & A. Railroad at
Atlanta. that if he didn't remove the small
pox man, put off by the conductor, that
the town authorities would put the sick
man in the depot saloon and quarantine
against all trains This had the arousing
effect of causing telegram to be sent to
Capt. Moore on the next south bound train
to take on the sick man at Dalton and carry
him to Big Shanty, his destination. Capt.
Moore rubbed carbolic soap under his nose
and through his moustache and hair and
got the sick man aboard. At Big Shanty,
so we were told, the small poX patient was
examined by several Doctors and they pro
nounced it a well developed, genuine case of
measles. And that is what the man said he
had all the time.
