ces, which had great sale, has now
communicated his prophecies for the

tlves In the house, playfully called
Riddleberger blanked liar In the
columns of n Richmond newspaper,
and Riddleberger straightway sent IA
challenge. To show the bloodthirsti-
ness OF the men, they arranged to
fight the duel on the same afternoon.
Wise chose pistols for weapons, and
the meeting was at 4 o'clock, p. III. in
clunp OF woods few miles from
Richmond, and so near the residence
OF the Judge Of the county that lie
could hear the shots.
AZ the first fire Wise's pistol did not
go of, and Riddleberger's ball flew
wide Oft the mark. Wise then hand
ed his pistol to his second and told
him there was something the matter
with It. The ball was drawn, the pis-
tolls reloaded and the combatants
took a second fire. At this time Wise
ball cut Riddleberger's cat tail, but
hiddlebrger's shot again wasted Itself
.on the air. Riddeberger reached
down his hand and looked at the
place where the ball had gone thro'
his $40 coat. He then raised his hand

Ms,Ico's "Cradis OF Liberty"

After Cortez conquered the Aztecs and
established himself in the valley of Mex
leo, the Tarascans sent ambassadors To
him and asked for teachers who would
instruct them how to approach and make
terms with the all powerful Christian
gods. The Spaniard forwarded mission
aries, who turned the Tarascans by thou
sands from their idols and baptized them
into the Catholic faith. The Tarascans
became allies Of the Spaniarls, paid tri-
butte and were loyal. When Nino de
Guzinan, the first president Of the first
andeacia, as the Spanish form of gov
ernment was called, started out to con-
quer the country of Jalisco, ON the west
ern coast of Mexico, he called ON tho
calzontzin, the king Of the Tarascans, 10
furnish 10000 warriors and vast
amount Of gold and silver. The
calzontzin promptly supplied the men.
but told the president he could
not furnish all the gold. Guzman
affected 10 disbelieve HIM and burned
HIM, ut the same time torturing many
subordinate officials Of the Tarascan
dynasty TO make them reveal the sup.
posed hiding place OF the treasure. III,
Tarascan dynasty fell, the alfrighted
Indians hid among the hills and noun
tains about Lake Patzcuero. They have
never forgotten that awful persecution.
The good Bishop Quiroga spent his life
trying to undo the mischief wrought by
Guzn.an. He won the Tarascans bach
10 the faith and TO great personal love OF
himself, but the portion Of the country
they inhabit has been the breeding place

The Care Of the Eyes.

At the sanitary convention held at
Ann Arbor, Mich. not long ago, DIR.
@. J. Lundy, OF Detroit, read paper
on "Hygene in Relation TO the Eye"
which should have thAoiidest c'"rula;

eve troubles Is shown to be the exces-
sive strain upon the muscles and
nerves of the eyes due to faulty edu-
cational methods, the i'll planned and
insufficient light of the school rooms,
poor ink and fine print in school
books, and other causes which educa
tion might correct.
In conclusion, DIR. Lundy lays down
the following rules for the better care
OF the eyes:
/. Avoid reading and study by
poor light.
2. Light should come from the side
and not from the back or from the
front.
8. TO not read or study while suf-
fering great bodily fatigue or during
recovery from illness.
A. Do not read while lying down.
8. Do not use the eyes too long Mt
time for near work, but give them
occasional periods OF rest.
o. Reading and study should be
done systematically.
7. During study avoid the stopping
position, or whatever tends to pros
duce congestion of the head aud face.
s. Select well printed books.
8. Correct errors OF retraction with
proper glasses.
10. Avoid bad hygienic conditions
aud the use OF alcohol aud tobacco.
IL. Take sufficient exercise in the
open air.
i2. Let the physical keep pace
with the mental culture, for asthen'
opia is most usually observed in those
who are lacking in physical develope.

OUR CITY SPREADS.

On Monday ofthis week the Marietta &
North Georgia Real Estate & Investment
Company commenced the survey of the
W. j. M. Hames property opposite the
Marble Works, and are laying the same off
into lots. The streets are all to be 80 feet
in width and the blocks are all divided
by fourteen foot alley. In the grove
about midway between the Marble mill and
Kennesaw Mountain, they have laid out a
Park of about four acres. The Street
Railway from Marietta to Kennesaw noun
tain will pass through the property, thus
giving the residents an opportunity to visit
the city every hour The opening up of
this property will also make nice drive
to the mountain via the Marble works. On
account of the enviable reputation of Ma
rietta, it is proposed to call this new SUI
burb North Marietta" and we predict
that it is only a question of a short time
until it becomes Marietta without the
north
The Company has set aside s acres
fronting on the Rail Road that they pro.
pose donating to parties wishing to start
manufactures Of any description They
also state that they will put in water works
to supply the town as soon as there are
100 consumers. The NJ. e. n. Ga. r f g.
|. Co. have done big work for Cobb
county in the way Of advertising, and from
the enquiries they are receiving from all
parts of the country, there is no doubt but
what large number of people are coming
some are coming on account of health,
others to engage in manufacturing or az
riculture-while many are coming on ac-
count of our pleasant climate. 1t is safe
to say that within the next twelve months
our population will be largely increased if
not doubled. They expect to be able to
place lots in this new edition on the mark
eft on September 10th. and we predict
ready sale for them. See their ad. in an
other column.

Seminary is well equipped with full and
able faculty of eleven teachers, and is pre-
pared to furnish thoro education to

June was of the most satisfactory kind, and
all of the patrons were loud in its praises
Mr.. Legare, the President, has increased
the teaching force for the coming session
and promises to furnish even greater facil
ties than heretofore enjoyed by the pupils
Every friend of Marietta should do all il
his power to sustain this institution which
if properly supported will do more thar
anything else to attract persons from
abroad and will also save large sum Of
money to our people, in supplying them
with the benefit of Higher Education at their
doors. The Board of Trustees who have
charge of this Seminary have done all in
their power to supply long-felt want; let
the people of our city give the needed sup.
port, and they will reap the reward. The
number of pupils in attendance last session
ran above 100 Let us double this number
the coming year
