-DIED. Mrs. Jessie Abbott, wife of Mr..
Arthur Abbott, and daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. William Annondale, died on last Tues
day. This is indeed sad death. Hardly
one year ago Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott were
united in marriage, and now death has
stilled the heart of the loving wife, and left
in her place sweet little infant of only a
few hours old. We deeply sympathige with
the bereaved in their sorrow and point them
to the Divine source for consolation,
in that He is too wise too err too
good to be unkind.
The Atlanta Constitution is a hard pa.

tied manly for Georgias material develop
ment and prosperity, and is deservedly
popular with our people.

EDITORS JoURNAL:-How would Hon. A.
s. Clay, Of Marietta, and Prof. J. G. Camp,
OF Powder Springs sound for the Legisla-
ture2 Steve needs no commentator, and
we regard Prot. Camp as one of the com
ing young men Of the county and State and
would be the peer of any in debate. They
would be strong team and would reflect
credit on the constituency Of old Cobb.
Then again Powder Springs deserves some
recognition at the hands of the nominating
convention for that is one of the best por-
tons of the county Respectfully.
