HOW DO YOU LOOK AT THINGS?

Have you ever stopped to think
how difficult it is to please every
body? Ifyou haven't thought about
it you doubtless have discovered
that you have never been able to
smooth the ruffied feelings of every
body. There are so many diseased
minds in the world that some look
through the spectacles OF envy and
can see no good in anything that
those they envy do, consequently
they speak disparagingly of them
and their business. Some look
through the spectacles of malice and
condemn great deal that is good
in those they dislike that is entitled
to praise Others look through the
spectacles OF prejudice and find that
"no good can come out of Nazareth"
but everything is mediocre, inferior
and no account; some look through
the spectacles of suspicion and are
ready to accuse every man of being
rascal, a thief and scoundrel, with
out having ability to fairly discrimi-
nate between the good and the evil ;
some look through the spectacles Of
jealousy, and look upon their pro-
tessional or business rivals as quacks,
charlatans, and swindlers, unscru-
pulous and deficient in the nobler
qualities of humanity; some look
through the spectacles of sensitive
ness and analyze every remark to
see if it contains an intended slight
or insult, rendering themselves mis-
cradle without cause; some look
through the spectacles of ignorance
and get things badly mixed, stupid
in judgment, straining at gnats and
swallowing camels; and there are
others who look through the spec
tacles of egotism, whom it were
well to see themselves as others see |
them. Marietta may not have all
these characters, but she has some |
of them.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

The County Democratic Conven-
ton last Tuesday nominated Hon.
A. S. Clay and Mr.. L. ]. Hardage
as candidates to represent Cobb in
the next House Of Representatives.
The nomination of Mr.. Clay was
not contested but was made both by
reclamation and a rising vote amid
cheering and waving OF hats, in
which the large audience present
joined with enthusiasm. 1t was in
deed high compliment to Mr.. Clay,
and shows the universal esteem in
which he is held by the people. For
two terms he has represented Cobb
county in the Legislature with abil-
ity, faithfulness and integrity, and
our people propose to re-elect him
the third time, and it is generally
conceded that he will be made
Speaker of the House, a position
that he is eminently competent to
fill to the satisfaction of everybody.
He is a self-made young man and
deserves well of the people. His
speech after his nomination, was
touchingly beautiful and earnestly
eloquent showing heart full Of
gratitude to the people who had re-
peatedly and again honored him.
The nomination of Mr.. Z. j.
Hardage, of Powder Springs, sub
stantial farmer, was contested by
Rev. A. G. Dempsey and Judge J.
A. l.. Born, but Mr.. Hardage Sc
cured the nomination on the second
ballot, showing conclusively that he
was the choice of the Democracy
over two worthy men.
In the nomination of Messrs.
Clay and Hardage, it is made in
cumbent upon every organized Dem
ocrat to see that they are triumph
antly elected. They are the stand
ard bearers of the Democratic party,
and will prove faithful and efficient
in representing every interest of
every class OF our people.

The pig iron makers of Ohio are
between two fires; and there is no
present sign that either one or the
other will die out. Much of their
success depends upon the price OF
coke, which comes from Connells-
vile, and much of their dread comes
from Northern Alabama. The bat
tie between Eastern and Alabama
iron has not yet been settled in the
Northwest. The projection of new
furnaces in the South, and the vir-
tual abandonment of old furnaces in
the North, 60 very far to show which
way the tide of the pig iron trade is
going to run for the future. There
is an urgent necessity for the discov-
cry and application of some more
economic system of utilizing blast
furnace property. Progress made
during the past ten years, has rem
dered nearly 200 furnaces worthless.
