The colored folks have great pen
chant for buying their hard earned money
Doubtless this feeling was superindueed b!
| the Freedman's Bank swindle, in which 81
many colored people lost their all. An in
dustrious old colored man who lived in THU
place few years ago, named Lem Mathis
before his death buried six hundred and ff
| ty dollars in Hunts woods The money
was in tin box. He died without reveal
ing the place of deposit, and his children
one of whom still lives here and another
one in Atlanta, were thus deprived of thi.
money. Another negro man, named Joe
Cook, who formerly belonged to Rev. DR.
Cook, was brick mason and hired his owr
time and by this means had accumulated 9
half bushel of silver. The family left here
for lower Georgia, and old Joe buried hi.
money and he died without telling the exact
spot where it was hidden. A colored mar
died here about month ago who had con
siderable money and his children have beer
unable to find it. 1t is presumed he buried
| it.

Last Thursday evening about six o clock,
while the Marietta Express engine was
switching at this place, Mr. William DECKER
son. brakeman, attempted to jump on the
'cow-catcher of the engine, but missed his
foothold and fell under the wheels, the en-.
CINE passing over and crushing both of his
legs, which necessitated amputation. Mr..
Dickerson was carried 70 Rev Robert Ba-
ber's house, his brother-in-law where he
died after few hours suffering. He leaves
a wife and children, who reside in Atlanta
Mr. Dickerson was worthy and industrious
man and his death is deeply regretted.
The probability is we will have plenty
of candidates for the Legislature in this coun-
ty this year, We learn that some are al
ready quietly at work. Men who aspire to
this place had better take an inventory of
their qualifications and see if they are capa-
BILE of representing Cobb with credit and
ability The county cannot afford to send
fourth-rate men there, in order that their
personal ambition and cleverness may be
gratifed. We ought to send men there who
have the brain and force of character to
make reputation for the county.
AS will be seen by their card in another
column, Messrs. viii J. VIM and Enoch
Faw have associated themselves together in
the practice of their profession. They are as
two able lawyers as practice at the Marietta
bar and by this combination of experience,
energy and legal knowledge make Strong
team" Business entrusted to them will
meet with prompt attention and faithful SER
vice.
"A plain man often looks with envy on
one who has risen to place and power; but,
if he could see all the steps that have been
taken to bring him there or all the perplex-
tiles that surround him now that he is there,
he would not barter his peace of mind for
the coveted greatness.
