We have seen the following paragraph
IN several of our exchanges, and as it i.
doubtless equally applicable to Cobb county
we copy it How many men, when they
lift a mortgage, think to walk over to the
clerks office aud have the record Of the
same cancelled We are told that large
per cent. ofthe paid-up mortgages of the
country stand to-day upon the books with
out anything to show that they have been
settled. There is no danger in them, how.
ever, more than that they may serve to in
iure a mans credit, and no one wants his
credit impaired wrongfully

marry. Why should not places of work be
opened up to them and they be paid as much
for the same class of work equally as we'll
performed, as is paid to men? There is no
good reason, and they should not be so un-
Justly Disseminated against, but opportuni-
ties should be afforded them in honorable
ayocations to provide for themselves
