Two Worthy Countrymen
Tell their Experience.
''Hello. Jim,

Hello, Jim.
"Hello, Bill. How you making it this
year?''
'Oh, best kind. I'm nearer out of debt
than | have been since the war. I've made
good corn CROP my cotton, which /
thought was damaged, is turning out fine

family and some to sell my wife and chill,
dren have better clothes this year than u.s.

large as it was last year, and everything
looks brighter. tell you, jim, / feel
swimmingly."
"Why, Bill, you sstonish me certain for

bought my provisions and dry goods ON a
credit but carefully, yet the shoes | bought
for my wife and children have wore out
quicker than usual, and she has grumbled
more about not having anything decent to
wear than it has been her custom TO do
and still my store account has climbed way
up yonder, and after all don't believe nv

you, Bill, feel blue -
"Well, Jim, | am sorry for YOU but YOU

did you do your trading this year?''
down the street there where you see
that man smoking cigar
"Nh, well that accounts for it. You see
Jim, done my trading at Cicero Kiser's,
and he put goods to me so reasonable, that
| have prospered and so has he. I got
more goods and better ones for less money
than could get at any store in town. His
store is chock full of fall and winter goods
and I advise to do your trading there if YOU
want to get along easily"
I'm do it, dog my buttons if | don't.
just see where l have been fool all this

the finances of the county are in condition
to sustain the expense.
We specially urge that the rock-bed on
the Bells Ferry road, near Prot Seals, be
removed by blasting. That rock culvert
be placed on the Powder Springs road in the
sink between the residence of Mrs Hebert
and Sanges hill, in order that this hill may
be graded down. Also culvert on Dallas
road leading from Powder Springs at foot of
hill near the Primitive Baptist Church, and
that the hills on either side be graded down.
The Commissioners throughout the coun-
ty are advised to attend at once to their
roads where not in perfect order, and are
| cautioned to see that their overseers place
mile posts and sign boards where necessary.
and solid hewn foot-logs for crossings at the
fords of all creeks and branches And we
beg all subsequent Grand Juries to enquire
closely into whether the Commissioners have
discharged their full duty in the premises.
These officers have it in their power to place
the present and future generations under
LnelF
trust, and leave imperishable monuments in
the shape of fine road-beds Above all else
let the roads be widened tothe lawful gauge
1t is subject for profound congratuation
that since the
ADOPTION OF PROHIBITION
crime has wonderfully decreased, the moral
atmosphere has been purified, and peace
and good order prevail Quiet reigns,
where once scenes of disorder and confusion
were supreme. Property values have in
creased; our towns show unmstakable evil
dences of prosperity, and our people univer-
sally endorse the change.
We would suggest TO our recently enfran-
chised citizens, that at the earliest day prac-
ticable, they inform themselves as to the
province of Grand Juries, and as soon there
after as possible, set themselves to the task,
trying though it may be, of disabusing their
minds of the false idea they have formed
that Grand Juries are kindly accommoda-
ting bodies assembled for the express pur-
pose of adjusting their private grievances.
IN CONCLUSION.
To his Honor, Judge Branham, we would
return our grateful acknowledgment of his
remarkably full, intelligent and forcible ex-
position of our duties and while carrying
away with us most pleasing memories of our
intercourse, we would wish him continued
prosperity and happiness
As for our active, untiring and astute tel
low-citizen, our worthy Solicitor General, we
feel that We have the right man in the right
place and have reason to thank him for his
courteous and invaluable assistance and
counsel.
To the other officers of courts, as well, we
tender thanks for kindly attentions
We recommend that these proceedings be
published in the MARIETTA JOURNAL.

After many weary weeks of sickness, on

STORE!

There was man in our town. and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek-
els in aud saw his fortune rising, he took a
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day generous sum he'd sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one paws
for printers ink. the greater is his gain.

Slurs on Women.

OF all the evils prevalent among
men, We know of none more b lighting
in its moral effects than to speak
slightingIy of the virtue Of women;
nor is there anything in which young
men arc SO thoroughly mistaken as the
low estimate they form Of the integ
rity of women-not of their own
mothers and sisters, but of others who
they forget, are somebody else's moth
ers and sisters. As rule, no person
who surrenders to this detestable ha
bit is to be trusted with any enter
prise requiring integrity Of character
Plain words should be spoken on this
point, for the evil is general one
and deep rooted. If young men art
sometimes thrown into the society o
thoughtless or lewd women, they have
no more right to measure all othe
women by what they see Of them, tina.
they would have to estimate the char
acter of honest and respectable citi
zens by the developments Of crime ii
our police courts. Let our young mel
RENE mber that the chief happiness o
life depend. upon their utter faith ii
women. No worldly wisdom, Mt
misanthrophic philosophy, no gener
alization, can cover or weaken thu
fundamental truth. 1t stands like tn
record Of God itself, for it is nothing
Hess than this, and should put All ever
lasting seal upon lips that are wont t.

Fortuight'y Review.l

Fortuight'y Review.
No Parliament should be elected
for more than three years, and its
members ought to be paid. The last
reform is essential. At present we
have in the main rich men represent.
ing poor men, for the choice of the
constituencies is practically limited to
the former. The result is, and must
be, that legislation favors the rich at
the expense OF tho poor, or, in other
words, the few at the expense of the
many. Democracy can never have
fair play until the composition Of the
House of Commons is radically
changed, and until Democratic cleo.
tors can secure men thinking with
them, feeling with them and acting
with them, as their representatives.
There is no class in the country SO
narrow minded and so selfish as rich
men. They imagine that the world is
created for them alone, and that the
sole aim of craftsmanship ought to be
to enable them to retain what they
have and to obtain what they have
| not.
