An alarm OF hre was gwen last Satur
day at half past IL clock, and the fire en-
glnes responded promptly. The fire was To-
Gated in j. w Henderson l. Sons machine
shop. A colored man, John Simpson, was
eating dinner in the upper story of the build
ing when the ascending smoke told him
plainly there must be fire beneath. The
crowd rushed in and found the frame work
of the palmer burning the blaze having
reached the upper floor and taking hold
quite rapidly. A few buckets of water ex-
tnguished the fire, and by this time the fire
engines turned on stream and cooled
off the heated timbers No one knows how
the fire originated as there had not been
any fire in the engine room in two weeks
1t Is supposed to have been the work of
an incendiary. There was large amount
Of shavings, lumber and other combustble
material in the building and in the building
adjoining, and FIVE minutes later there
would have been FIRE Of considerable mag
nltude, as in that block are stores, dwellings,
and the M. & n. G. r. R depot. We are
glad that the. calamity was averted by time
ly discovery.

We saw the other day a miniature loco
motive made by Master James Hammett,
son of our efficient and clever Ordinary,
Judge H. NJ. Hammett. the toy engine is
about two and half feet long and. perfect
in all its parts and runs quite smoothly. 1t
is painted and lettered and even has the
engineer in his place at the throttle. Its in
genious construction displays mechanical
skill that should be encouraged Master
Jimmie intends to send it to his nephew,
little Henry Anderson at Waxahache, Tex
as.
-WANTED.-Cotton seed.
SESSIONS, HANDY & Co.
The number of Railroads running
around Marietta has circumscribed our bust
ness territory to narrow limit Newspa-
pers have started up in every county adjoin-
ing Cobb, and we have thereby lost the Off
clal advertising of number OF counties,
therefore we are solely dependent upon the
citizens of Marietta and Cobb county for
that patronage that will be adequate to sup
port creditable county paper. There is
not business house in Marietta hut what
should advertise in the JOURNAL. The ad-
vertising columns of a newspaper indicate
the business of town and our people should
see to it that ali business is represented in
our columns.
The largest line of Dress Goods in Ma
rietta at Hirsch's.
Rev Sam Jones says God high Sheriffis
serving notice on every man to get ready to
meet death. The man who wears spec
tacles, the man who hobbies on crutches,
the man whose hair is streaked with gray,
and the man who is enfeebled by disease, all
have Gods arresting officer on their track,
and sooner or later they will be halted in
their career.
On Monday morning November I'd,
1885, | will burn in front of my store every

hrnd. Afterwards will make my Spring
order for fresh seeds, hope many of my
seed customers may be present on this oc-
casion that they may be convinced that
sell nothing but fresh seed.

-Hirsch has the largest stock of shoes in
Marietta.
When a man advertises he means bust
ness. Buyers would do well to remember
this. Our advertisers are reliable pushing
men They handle no slow pennies, on the
contrary, they keep everything moving
selling for short profits and reinvesting.
That's busin ess.
Judge George N Lester is spoken of
for Congress in the 9th district We would
be glad to see the one med hero honored

n. Lester has done power of work for the
Democratic party and has been loyal and in
the thickest Of the fight when the occasion
demanded it.
