MARIETTA, GA,
THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY 26. iess
THAT BLIZZARD.

The terrible blizzard or snow storm
that recently swept over Dakota, Ne
braska, Minnesota, Montana, and
Wisconsin, was the severest ever
known in that section of country.
The deaths OF women, men and chill
dren, who were caught in the blizzard
and were frozen, number over two
hundred. Cattle and hogs in large
droves were frozen to death. The
temperature went down to 80, So and
62 degrees below zero, and exposure
was death. The pitiful story of suf-
tering is heart-cending. At sunrise
1t was lovely winter weather. The air
was clear as crystal and every object
about the horizon was distinctly Wis
ible. The wind was from the south,
warm and balmy, and before the sun
was high in the sky a decided thaw
set In. Farmers took advantage of it.
by noon a dark cloud appeared, a
northwest gale set in, the fine snow
fell thick, it became so dark you
couldn't see forty feet distant and the
voice couldn't be heard six feet dis
tant. Those who were caught out in
1t were blinded, aIchokeing sensation
ensued and they died. The severity
of such climate makes us appreciate
North Georgia more and more. No
west for US.
1t seems remarkable that immi
grants should go to Kansas and 9th
er States where they must inevitably
suffer great inconvenience and hard
ship, not to say risk of life, from cold
weather when Georgia and Florida,
presenting every advantage and de-
void OF some disadvantages OF the
section in question, are ready to re-
ceive them. Kansas has probably
derived more benefit from immigra-
ton in the past few years than Geor-
gia and Florida combined, and yet
there is here scarcely anything un-
der the sun that the soil will not
produce. Florida is not capable of
as varied results as this State, but
she possesses conditions peculiar to
herself. An equable climate and
fertile and accommodating soil are
not to be despsied in seeking home,
and persons should reflect before
they choose Kansas and Iowa in pre-
ference to Georgia and Florida.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
rom the Douglasville, Ga, Stal

From the Douglasvllle, Ga, Star.
There is an idea in the eyes of
many who ought to know better that
the country editor" stands on the
lowest platform of the profession, and
that he who is employed in any ca
pacity, no matter how humble, on a
metropolitan journal is his superior.
There is no greater mistake. An
editor who has held important chairs
in metropolitan Offices, and who has
the reputation ofhaving been success
full, remarked; 81 do not hesitate
to write the leaders of the most inn
portant journals, but | would trem-
BILE to undertake the management of
village newspaper" There is no
place in the profession so difficult to
fill as that of a country editor In
cities, man who can do one depart
ment will bother himself about no
other, Nor need he; he gets the
knack Of his speciality, and contin-
ues at it. But the country editor
must be good in all departments he
must be well read on all subjects he
must he able to discern the trend OF
the public mind in politics, religion
and social topics; he must discuss
agriculture and anarchy with equal
precision; he must be fluent on
polemics and politics; he must
write of the president and pumpkins /;
he must mind men of high degree
and descend to things Of low estate
in short, he must be an "all-round
man." 1t Is this that makes the
position of country editor such a
splendid manager for metropolitan
daily. There is no place, except in
a country office, where such all-round
training can be had,
The position of a country editor is
not held in the esteem it sho uld be,
Country papers are not respected
as they ought to be. If a family can
afford only one paper, let that be the
home paper; for it concerns family
more to know what is being done in
its own county than it does to know
the news Of distant places. The
city paper cannot give, and does not
pretend to give, the local news that
its country readers must have; but
the good country paper does give a
very fair epitome of the worlds news
No other publication can supply
the place Of good local paper. r
both cannot be retained-it either
the city journal or country newspa
per must 60, let it be the former; fol
nothing can supply the place of thu
local paper.

INTERNAL REVENUE TAX,

! cannot conceive a greater curse
that could be inflicted on Georgia to-
day than to permit free distillation of
liquor. Corn whisky can be made at
a cost Of twenty-five cents per gallon
and would doubtless be retailed for
twice that sum. The consequence
would be that every branch would
have on its banks one or more distil-
leries, and every encouragement
would be given to drunkenness. The
negro naturally loves his dram, and
being no longer under the restraint
Of slavery, would quickly be trans
formed into a race Of vagabonds and
drunkards. Prohibition would be a
nullity. 1t now costs the general
government annually thousands Of
dollars to suppress the business of il
licit distilling, and in spite Of the
greatest vigilance Of efficient high sal
aried officers, the business is not en-
tirely broken up. The State would
either have to take this burden upon
itself or King Alcohol would hold
undisputed sway in Georgia.

and strong ropes and chains secured
HIM to the vessel, by which means he
was towed into the harbor, where
crowds collected to see the monster
and congratulate Captain West on
his skill and daring in capturing the
whale, this being the first one
brought into that place.
The whale is upward of sixty feet
IN length, and would probably weigh
between seventy and eighty tons. It
Is one of the largest of the species
ever captured, and would yield about
thirty barrels of oil. -

WE HOLD OUR OWN.

If" says a bright Southern con-
temporary-"It we will wait for the
world to pick us up and carry US
along we will wait till doomsday.
We must work out our own saliva
ton by our own intelligent use Of
the means which have contributed to
the upbuilding of other cities. It
is time these reflections were being
brought to our citizens. If they wish
their city to hold her place in the
energetic rivalry now going on among
Southern industrial centres they can
not afford to stand idly by and watch
the struggle. They must take their
hands out of their pockets and take
hold. We must work if we would
win"

FAMILY TIES were designed to
make us sociable. We are not made
to live alone. We must have a heap
OF embers to have glowing fire. If
we scatter them they will flicker and
die. In the same way, if we want to
live healthy and vigorous life, we
must have a group of lives to afford
comfort, encouragement and support.
Courtesy is mighty in its influence to
glorify the home and to benefit the
world.

A young man at Redbone, Lee
county. died on Friday of singular
disease. His death was caused by
blowing a harmonica. The brass on
the instrument affected his lip, max
ing it so malignant that the flesh
sloughted of. He seemed to have
sucked in the virulence of the dis
ease all the way to his lungs. His
face and side were terribly swollen
and dis6gured. His name was John

NORTH GEORGIA RICHES.
The Marietta and North Georgia R.

Vice President Jackson gives tn,
Savannah Times some information
about our section. The Marietta ant
North Georgia Railway traverses tn,
most wonderful section of Georgia
The main road is completed from Ma
rietta, Ga, to Murphy, N. c.. Will
its branches to the American Marble
Company's sand bank near Wood
stock, Ga; also to the Southern
Marble and Georgia Marble compa.
MES in Pickens county. The pro.
posed extension, for which the mon
ey is in hand already, are from Ma
rietta to Atlanta, also from Marietta
to Austell, to a connection with the
Georgia Pacific road, making a direct
line co Birmingham, Ala. From
Murphy short line is being run to
Marble Cab at Valley Town. N. c.,
to connection with the Western
North Carolina Railroad. The road
is being extended from Blue Ridge,
Ca, to Knoxville, Tenn, by way of
Ducktown, and thus it will be in
communication with the great lines
leading North, West and East. The
whole line from Atlanta to Knox
vile and to Red Marble Gap will be
completed within year. Along
these main lines are immense veins
ofmarble of all known colors, from
pure white to pure pink, black, white
and green. At Marietta is one of
the largest marble mills in the world
owned by the American Marble Com
pany.
The road and its branches will run
through three mountain passes, at
Jasper, on the Hiwassee river, and at
Red Marble Gap. These are the on
ly passes through which a railroad
could be built without expense that
could not be endured, and these pass
es gives company the transportation
of all the country, encircled by
mountain range 80 miles long by
nearly as many miles wide. In this
territory are mineral resources that
are inexhaustible, and of variety
scarcely appreciated by any. In it
are found, besides great beds of mar
BILE, large bodies of the best iron,
manganese, copper, mica, soapstone,
tale, gold, silver and precious stones.
1t is richer in steel making ores than
any other part of the world. They
consist of magnetic, specular, limnite
and gotite. All of these iron and
manganese ores abound in great
quantities. AS soon as the railroad
touches the different properties, New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Birming-
ham and other iron men will have
the ores shipped largely TO the iron
and steel manufacturing centres.
The copper belt lies west of the
iron and manganese and has been
proved already to be some fifty miles
in length from Fannin county, Ga,
to Cherokee county, Ga. At Duck
town and within short radius are
more than twelve well developed
mines.
From Atlanta to Knoxville the
lands are rich and fertile-all pro-
ducts raised in a Northern climate
can be produced in these mountains.
