apt to do SO away from the track as
upon it. Walker left the track. and

flash of lightning struck Tucker,
apparently killing him, and knock
ed Walker unconscious. Walker

- DIED-At Concord Wooden Mills On
Aug. 9th, 1888, James H. Kendley, in the
10Th year Of his. He was a son of John
R and Susan Kendley, was raised at Con-
cord and worked himself up from piecer-
boy to one of the most responsible posi-
tons in the Mills. He was of quiet and
agreeable disposition, loved and respected
by all who knew him, as evidenced by the
vast concourse of sorrowing friends that
assembled at Smyrna to pay the last trib-
ute ofrespect to his remains. He leaves
father and mother and a number of
brothers and sisters and young wife of
only few months, to mourn his early
death To his parents and relatives and
his sorrowing and grief stricken young
widow, drop heartfelt tear of sympa-
thy, and sincerely pray that their loss is
his eternal gain. A FRIEND.

COTTON FACTORIES.

Mr.. j. I'll. Plummer, the energetic
and intelligent secretary Of the Tai
lapoosa Land Company, who has TAX
en- considerable pains to ascertain
the dividends paid by various cotton
factories through the South, reported
that the smallest dividend paid, so
far as he learned, was II per cent,
and from that up to 30 per cent. per
annum. He was also informed by
experts in Atlanta that cotton grown
in this and adjacent counties was of
extra good quality CartersviHe
C0urdnt.
The above demonstrates fully the
FEASIBILITY of our argument that a
cotton factory would pay in Mariet-
ia. Wherever they are in opera
ton in the South, with the latest
and best machinery, satisfactory
dividends are being made and declar-
ed. There is no enterprise that
would give better investment for
capitalists than a cotton factory in
Marietta. We trust that our people
will not let this movement slumber
but will arouse themselves to imme-
diate action.

"Why," we asked, "why does your

"Oh, because nothing goes right.

The Washington Post says that
when the president wrote Mr.. Fuller
rendering him the nomination to the
chief justiceship, there was a lack of
readiness of response which rather
astounded the white house. True.
Mr.. Fuller sent polite letter
acknowledging the receipt of the
tender, but nothing fnrther. A
week passed-ten days. This was
unheard of. Hesitating over the
chief justiceship! What did it mean!
A trustworthy friend was sent to
investigate. The president then
learned that Mr.. Fuller's hesitation
really had a foundation. His law
practice was worth $4,000 or more
per year. He had an expensive
establishment-eight girls.

assisted in the service, The doctor took
as his text the words, The Son of Man is
come to seek and to save that which was

Christ came to seek and save the lost, he,
a divine missionary. The church is God's
idea. 1t is potent. 1t is filling the earth.
The philosophy of the missionary idea is
sublime. 1t captures the heart and the
brain. The heart and brain of all nations
are to do Gods will, The dark spots on
the earth are growing less. An irreslst-
less movement is in the world. There are
divine claims on the church which can
never be relaxed till the whole world is
found and saved. Zion has the world on
its heart and brain. Go ye into all the
world is his motto. The enterprise must
succeed.
