Hames' hat, (and you know he wears a
pretty large hat, and it was so full of food
as to topple the rooster over on his head.

He split the skin and folded 1t back, and
then opened the craw with keen knife.
The contents consisted of wheat, oats, corn,
bugs, grass etc, and measured full quart.

"A barrel factory would pay in Marietta,
and why it is not built we can not see. The
demand for barrels is greater than the
supply Good timber in abundance can be
procured in the counties through which the
Marietta & North Georgia Railroad traver,
ses. In fact, we learn, that Boston man,
for the last eight months has been getting
out stave timber in these counties prepare
tory to shipping the same to that place,
doubtless to be returned to us in ready made
barrels Mr.. Walter Sessions, who has just
| returned from lower Georgia, tells us that
the turpentine men pay SLIGO in Augusta
and $40 in Baltimore for barrels. paying
the freight on the same extra. 1t cost $1.9
to put the Baltimore barrel in warehouse at
Savannah. We trust this may induce some
one TO start such an enterprise in Marietta,
and thereby add to their own and TO the
towns prosperity.
I'D. J. Northcutt would repeat that he
has marked some lines of goods down

DAYS from June 1st Bills already made are

stock, will sell Worsteds, Nuns Yelling,
Cashmere, Lawns, &c, at and below cost.
Call and see that this is fact.

ASK your grocer for Queen OF the
South.
What is the matter with the towns?
Rome is afraid the new rail roads will build
up towns that will draw off her trade, and
therefore she clamors for free bridges.
Gainesville is terribly in dread of impend
ing evil to her trade if certain railroad COM
binations are carried out. Athens is appre
hensive of loss of trade if she fails to get the
Jug Tavern road, because other roads have
drawn off considerable of her, trade. And
thus they all seem TO be in bad fix. We
heard such croaking about Marietta for
awhile, but our town is holding its own.
Real estate here is higher than it has been
in years, while our county population OF
"a 900 are busy as bees and are sufficient to
keep our town prosperous.
After using Queen OF the South, every
body asks for the same.
"A fine lot of white India Lawns just
received at f. L. Fowler's,
"A certain young man, who was fined
in Cobb Superior Court the sum of forty
dollars for carrying pistol concealed, some
time thereafter had occasion to deliver
pistol to party in town, and, to be on the
safe side, he got ten foot pole and tied the
pistol on to the end of the same. He then
hoisted the pole to which dangled the PTS
toll, and started across town. To his utter
surprise he met Judge Jas. r. Brown, who
was considerably tickled at the precaution-
airy act of the young man to expose fully to
view the pistol, and he remarked: THAT is
very commendable in You. | thought that
forty dollars fine would make you Il good,
law abiding citizen" The young man ex-
pressed the opinion that the mode adopted
in carrying the pistol was not quite as
handy, but it was less costly.

Mr. Will Hames brought us in some
very large, full ripe peaches from his or
