their heads in answer to his ques-
tons and pointed to big book lying

world, and its recital drew scores of
curiosity seekers to his home. We'd

His wife was completely Frustrated

Judge Crook, of Alabama, was en-
ployed by the State to look up all
the cases in which the State had be-
come owner of lands purchased at
tax sales and straighten out matters
He finished up the work and wrote
to the Auditor, Governor and Attor-
ney General that there was lot in
Calhoun county that he would buy
in order that the land in his own
county might all be subject to taxa
ton. The Auditor wrote back that
$40 would cover the States claim
and for that amount he would make
a deed to him for it. The $50 was
forwarded and the deed came back
from the State all properly signed
up. When Judge Crook began to
hunt up the land he found it was To-
Gated in Admission, Ala, and was
worth $4,000. The Woodstock Iron
Company was in possession prior to
1874, but never gave it in for taxes
by oversight, and it was sold for tax
es and bid in by the state. Judge
Crook has sued for possession, as well
as fog damages tor detainer.

Yes, and both Marietta and Dalton
are prohibition cities. Whitfield
county, in which Dalton, a city of
5000 population, is situated, after
trying prohibition for two years, de
cided to have another election, and
the contest came off last fall. The
prohibitionists carried the day by an
overwhelming majority. 1t is said
that every business man in Dalton
was in favor Of prohibition.
The editor of this paper spent a
part OF last summer in Marietta, and
we can scarcely help envying a man
who owns home and is engaged III
business in that city. A United

THE BEST WAY TO LOOK AT 1T.

IT is doubtful if there has been an
election in the history of this coun-
try which has been 80 free from per-
sonal abuse and villifcation, or one in
which the result depended so much on
the intelligence of the voting citizens
OF this country. As a natural conse-
quence there is less hard feeling, and
it is pleasure to note the philosoph-
ical resignation with which the result
is accepted by the unsuccessful con-
testants for control of the nations
policy, the good will which is ex-
pressed and the evident desire to give
the victorious party fair trial in car
rying into practical operation the
principles of the platform on which
it successfully appealed to citizens for
support by their ballots.
The large and enthusiastic process
sion, which filled the streets of our
city last evening, was all the more
gratifying to see, because it was a
procession which paraded, not so
much to commemorate the victory of
one party and the defeat of another
as to celebrate the triumph of those
principles of political economy upon
which our prosperity as a nation SC
much depends. And, as matter Of
fact, the result is not defeat to the
large body of Democrats whose opin.
ions coincide with Republicans as to
the policy of protecting American in
dustries.
