WELL PUT.

The New York Herald has a wise
way Of stating facts in paragraph.
It says: IF the taxes are too high,
lower them. In doing this, if you
are compelled to take the tax off of
clothing or off Of whiskey, the party
that chooses the clothing is the peo-
PIES friend and the party that choos-
es whiskey is the peoples enemy.
If it is better to have an overcoat
than glass of rum, then you know
how : to vote, but if you have any
doubt whatever, look into the faces
of your wife and children and that
ought to settle it.

A DYNAMITE BOMB.
Found Under Bridge -How Came it
There!

There was a ripple of excitement
IN Marietta Saturday and Sunday
ovSr the reported finding OF a dy-
Mantle bomb near the public
square.
Upon investigation we cleaned
the following particulars 4 cou-
pie of negro boys were throwing
a ball, waen the ball rolled under
the bridge in front of Mr.. j. Spill
mans stable, on Powder Springs
street. In their efforts to recover
the ball, they found large cast
iron ball, with brass screw or cap.
1t was loaded with something and
was quite heavy. The boys, after
they found it, rolled tup and down
a plank, and finally carried it to a
colored mans house, named Smith,
who, being %ell-diggerand blaster,
at once pronounced it to he dan
gerous missile and sent it to Mr..
Spilman. Mr.. S. had not seen it UP
to this time, and he became little
excited, after he learned the facts
about it being found SO close to his
stable, and he sent tor Sheriff Cor
yell, who pronounced it in his judg-
ment a dynamite bomb. Mr.. Cor
yell took charge of it and carried it
to the court house and proposes to
get rid of it in the most prudent
way possible.
How it came under the bridge,
who put it there, and for what pur-
pose, no one knows or can find out.
1t is not believed that it was done
with malicious intent. The motive
that could prompt any one tc bring
a dynamite bomb to Marietta, a
quiet, peaceful and orderly town,
puzzles the thinking powers of every
one and leaves the solution wrapt
in mystery. II we have any plotting
anarchists in Marietta, they are not
known, and this place is no field for
their operations. The. only reas-
enable conclusion is that same
transient tramp must have been
passing through the town and placed
it there to get rid Of it. We hope
there is no one in Marietta, native
or imported, who has a grievance or
evil designs, if so the keener our
night Waterman keeps his eyes open
the better.

WHY THEY WERE THANKFUL.

| am afraid that the habit OF
jumping at conclusions" is some
times being carried too far. Two
Congressmen-both of them from
the south-occupied the other day,
in the absence Of their families, the
same room at Wizards. They we're
greatly annoyed during the first
portion of the night by a neighbor
who was snoring at terrible rate.
They lay sleepless and silent for a
long time, listening with horrid
fascination to the efforts of "the man
who snored." FINALLY the sleeper
made one mighty effort, and with an
awfully conyulsive, gurgling, re-
lapsed into silence, which was short
ly broken by one of the congress
men, who in a fervent tone exclaim-
ed:
"Tbank God, he's dead.

CONFEDERATE REUNION.
or Interest to Survivors of Cheatham's
Division.

There is some talk of getting up a
reunion of the survivors of Gen.
Cheatham's old division of the Army
Of Tennessee, in the coming fall,
which may include an excursion to
Cheatham's Hill-Dead Angle-on
the kennesaw Mountain line, where
the hard fighting was done on the
9th day of June, 1864. The battle
fought on that day is known among
the Coniederates as the Battle of
Kennesaw Mountain, but the brunt
of the fight was at what is now call
ed by the citizens of that locality,
"Cheatham's Hill" two and three
fourth's miles south Of Kennesaw
Mountain NashUiUe american.
The above brings forcibIy to mind
the battle spoken of On the 9th
day Of June 1864. 1t was one of the
hottest and blooddiest fights of the
war, and the desperate charge made
on Gen. Cheatham's division result
ed disastrously to the Federals.
and many brave men on both sides
went down to rise no more. The
cannonading and musketry were
terrific and almost incessant. Soor
the Confederate ambulances began
to bring in the wounded and every
vacant dwelling and store house
were used as hospitals. The towr
was shrouded in gloom, and anxiety
and distress were pictured on every
face. The ladies with tender and
loving hands were unremitting in
their attentions to alleviate the SUI
ferings of the wounded and speak
comforting words to the dying.
The surviving veterans OF Cheat
hams division, would fnd that a
visit to Marietta and the old battle
ground would be full of interest,
bringing up "reminiscences both pleas
ant and painful. The old breast
works and other marks Of war are
still visible.

MARIETTA & NORTH GEORGIA RAIL
ROAD.

Mr.. Bolan Glover, the .ssuperin-
tendent Of the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad, is pushing the
work. to broaden the gauge of his
line as rapidly as possible. He is
making almost new road from
Marietta to Canton. 1t is the pur-
pose of the management of this road
to make the road standard gauge
from Marietta to Jasper in October
next. All the work WILDE prepared
aud the track will be arranged in a
very short time. Mr.. Glover is one
of the hardest working railroad men
in the south. He not only acts as
superintendent, but as supervisor,
and takes hand in all the depart
ments under him. He is a valuable
man for the road, and it would be a
hard matter for them to fill his place.
-Atlanta Constitution.
Mr.. Glover certainly attends to
his duties with sleepless vigilance.
His systematic methods have put
the business OF the road in good
shape. Only sober, reliable men
are employed and an accident on
this road is a rarity.

SHALL WE BUILD 1T.
LET US MOVE IN THE NATTER
OF Building a Cotton Factory in Ma
rietta.


Our article on the building Il a
cotton factory in Marietta has been
endorsed by number of citizens.
SFhey think we ought to go to work,
hold public meeting, get up sub
scriptions and build the factory at
once. That it would pay as a bust
ness investment, is certainty.
Americas is moving in the same
line, as we see from the Recorder.
At meeting there it was stated
that ''Griffin few years ago found
herself going down on account eff
railroads taking off her trade. Her
citizens saw that something had to
be done. A company was organic
ed with a capital of $4,000 paid in.
and built mill with 10000 spin
dies. This was less than three
years ago. They soon found they
needed another mill. Another
company was organized and in one
day 100000 was subscribed. They
have the new mill nearly completed
at a cost of $4,000, The first year,
the griffin people say, you need not
expect any profits, as it takes year
to get ready for business, but in
three years they have made profit
Of 81 per cent. That ought to sat
isfy any man. They found they had
nothing to run the mills after ex-
hausting $4,000, the amount first
paid in, SO they issued bonds for
$4,000, which furnished them with
sufficient commercial capital. They
manufactured a good class Of goods,
and in three years they have declar-
ed dividends amounting to 81 per
cent. and paid the, interest on the
bonds beside"
Mr.. Griffin, prominent mill man
Of Augusta, says che has never
known factoryof any kind to en-
ter community without beneftting
every one. That after the first
year 20 per cent will be made"
This should encourage our Ma
rietta people to move in this mat
ter. Once establish cotton factory
here, and other manufacturing and
mechanical industries will follow.
1t appears to US that the citizens
OF the town and county could CO.
operate in this matter and raise suf-
fcient funds to establish first class
cotton mill of 10000 spindles-the
larger the better--the bigger the
mill, the bigger the profits, and less
expensive to run in proportion to
working capital and managers nee
essary to operate it.

The newspaper man, strange as it
may seem, is busiest, and has to work
harder, in the long, dull, hot summer
Gays, when everybody else is travel
ing for pleasure, or idling at home,
for if other people are not making
news for him, he has to make it
himself The duller people are, the
hotter it is, and the fewer the
amusements they have, the more
they expect from the newspaper, and
if that gets dull too, then life seems
hardly worth the living.

The Elder Duck.

The elder duck (lSomateria mo issi.na), Is
one of the most valuable birds of the nor
thern regions, supplying, as il does, a most
important article of commerce, and fur
nishing one Of the chief means of support
for the people. For these reasons the elder
duck is zealously guarded and cherished
by the inhabitants of Norway and all the
northern islands and in Iceland the kill
ing of one OF these birds or the secreting
OF an egg is vigorously punished by law.
The elder duck, as is well known, robs her
own breast OF down with which to line her
nest, and also reserves u supply of feathers
as covering for her eggs while she is
away in pursuit of food. The down is thus
easily secured by the owners of the islands,
who do not hesitate to rob the nest sec
ond, and even third time after it has
been patiently rebuilt by the mother bird.
The eggs are also daily collected, and con-
BtItute an important article of food. Only
one or two are left in the nests to hatch,
and those which are not consumed are pick
led for winter use. The breeding places o.
the elder duck are private property, and
are the source of a large income to their
owners. The plan most frequently adopt
ed is to remove both eggs and down, when
the female lays another set of eggs and
covers them with fresh down. These are
again taken, and then the male is obliged
to give his help by taking down from his
own breast, and supplying the place of
that which was stolen. The down Of the
male bird is pale-colored, and as soon as it
is seen in the nest, the eggs and down arc
left untouched IN order to keep up the
breed.
In the male bird the top of the head Is
velvety black, and the cheeks are white.
The ear-covers and back OF the head is pale
green. The back is white. The neck and
upper parts of the breast are white, the
lower parts of the neck pale buff, and the
breast and abdomen black, relieved by n
patch of white on the TANKS. The bill and
legs are green. The female is reddish
brown, notified with darker brown. The
total length Of the bird rather xceeds tw
feet

In Mr.. and Mrs. Bancroft's "Reminis-

Charles Collette which is beautifully and
very strikingiy illustrative OF true eti-
quette. A young soldier in an English
regiment had been promoted from the
ranks and given commission In another
regiment. Before joining his new COM
mand he was. according to custom, in

a fine young fellow. but little used to the
ways Of the polite world and the manners
of other dining tables than the humble
mess of those days in the ranks. The
colonel, one of the truest types of gentle
men. did his best to put his guest at ease.
The soup was served, and then came

large bowl which contained simply Jumps

Of some of the younger officers. when the
bowl was offered to the colonel. who went
on chatting with the guest. and without
moving muscle of his face also dropped
a piece of ice into his soup Those who
came afterwerd. however, took their cue
from their colonel or let the bowl pass.
and the young man breathed sigh of re-
lief as he thought that after all he had
done the right thing. II ever soldier
