est names; to paint the unguarded actions
of the thoughtless in the darkest colors of
vice; to attribute unworthy motives to the
most disinterested acts-this is the province
! OF the vulgar street scandalmonger, but not
of public Journal The aim of the latter
should be to elevate. not to degrade. public
morals; to create higher standards and no
bier purposes not to panderto the vitiated
anpetites Of the vulgar HartsceR San. .
The above manly words meet our hearty,
appreciation. The Journal is particular to
exclude from its columns all mention of
scandalous acts. We do not wish to pander
to the pruient taste of those who walk the
streets and peddIe scandal and roll filth as a
sweet morsel under their tongues Why
should man drink from mud puddles,
when there is SO much pure, sparkling wa
ter gushing from natures refreshing springs
and capacious wells ? There is plenty that
is entertaining, instructive and elevating to
publish, without handling the dirty garbage
that float in the sewers of society.

lips, she interruptingly exclaimed yes, sir.
The magistrate after Fegaining his selfpos-
session, continued, land will serve and
obey" Yes, l will" she again ejacula-
ted, and scarcely had he concluded the final
interrogatory and will you have this maj" -
'Of course l will, she quickly retorted,
evncing the fact that she meant business.
And thus John Brown, a youth of eighteen
summers, and Miss NJ. C. yisage, lass of
sweet seventeen, were declared husband and
wife. And we presume the jolly judge filled
his pockets full of chestnuts as fee and the
happy bride aud groom toasted on roasted
potatoes and persimmon beer.

"A misinterpretation of telephone mes
sage the other day caused a right laughable
| mistake to occur. Somewhere above Can
ton one of the trucks under the passenger
| coach broke, aud the coach had to be side
| tracked. Conductor Glover telephoned from
Jasper TO Marietta for coach to meet his
train at Canton. Imagine his surprise when
instead of getting the coach one of his dress
coats was handed him when he reached Can
ton. This mistake caused the train to be
