the MORGAN FAIL joIar.

| We have Just examines, the diagrams and
listened to the explanations concerning an
invention of one Of the greatest rail road
scientists and most renowned civil engineers
in America. Col. r. P. Morgan, who, after
much thought, presented rail joint, which
bears mis- name, and which, among many
other superiorities, makes rail road travel
ing, even oser new or rough road beds, re-
semble the undulations of a vessel in smooth
waters, instead OF the noisy rattle-bang and
neck dislocatiEg jerks sometimes experience
ed, on rough places, in our best roads.
Mr.. Dunwody is enthusiastic in his prais-
es of this new joint and tells how he saw
the results Of five years competitive tests
on Chicago & Alton R. R., and listened to
the reports Of road workers in answer to his
questions and all showing the great superb
ority Of 'the Morgan Rail Joint"
Having seen the tests and Investigated
the claims. he was anxious TO be the FIRST to
introduce the improvement into our sec.
ton and was given the agency. 1t was his
hope that the Marietta ard North Georgia
Railroad, our pet system, would be the first
and, to that end, asked that he be permitted
to offer special inducements, as shown by
replies to his letters.
At first he failed, but now his requests are
granted and he still hopes they will satisfy
themselves BY personal inspection or other
wise and receive this unexampled offer
which the first road to adopt will obtain.
The offer itself is clear indication of the
companys own confidence in their joints
they make nothing out of the transaction.
For economy, durability and simplicity, il
does appear to us, ahead of anything. Il
viii cost, they claim, at least 33s per cent
less than any other first class joint-wil
prevent possibility of track creeping" will
permit reintroduction of the best form o.
rail, discarded open adoption of the Fish
Bar, is tantamount to one unbroken, con
tinuous rail from endto end of track-nevel
breaks or bends-provides scientifically fol
effects Of heat and cold upon the rails etc
Space forbids further details, but our frienC
and fellow-citizen, Mr.. II. A. Dunwody
will take pleasure in showing and explain
ing either in person or by letter to anyon,
interested.

WHAI WE NEED.

EDITORS JOURNAL Our people profess
to be in favor OF anything that will improve
and build up our beautiful city. If they
are, there are some very essential things to
be donaand they should be done at once.
All agree that we need more and better
hotel facilities, and some talk of one that
will cost one hundred thousand dollars. l
agree with them, and say that the Hotel
must be built, but who is going to do it?
Where do you suppose man is to be found
that would invest 100000 or even $4,000
in Hotel in city that is without water
works, gas or electric lights If for no
other purpose they want water works as a
protection to their property, and the same
is true of gas Capital always goes where
it receives the greatest protection and if we
want hotels or manufactures, We must offer
equal protection with other favored lccali-
ties.
We have and can boast OF an unequalled
climate and splendid water, but still things
by themselves are like Colorado scenery
very beautiful but thin diet. What we
want are the embellishments and necessary
Accomplishments. We want water works
gas, public schools, splendid drives, &c, SC
that our visitors can be comfortable and
feel that they can get at least what they are
willing to pay for. With little energy
and concert Of action we can soon have 6
population of 10000 or $4,000 and now il
the time to act while the attention Of tn,
North and East is being called Ito the ad
vantages of the South ::as profitable felC
for investment Please agitate.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITOR II would like to offer few
thoughts to the people of this county, on a
subject Cf vital importance, through the
columns of your valuable paper. 1t is in
reference to the qualifications and aninus
| OF the representatives that are to be elected
to our next legislature. A general oonvic-
ton pervades the public mind that this is to
be one of the most important Legislatures
that has assembled in our State capitol for
many years. This sentiment is apprecia-
ted by some OF the leading papers Of Geor-
gla and they are urging each county to
send its best and abest men that they may
| council together and devise the best means
OF meeting the emergency that will be upon
the country ere long. Every aspirant for
legislative honors should be outspoken in a
letter published in the Journal Tor by other
meansl as to his position on, at laest some
| OF the leading questions that will come be-
| fore the Legislature. What disposition
for lnstanee-are they in favor of making
OF the State road2 Are they for local op-
ton as heretofore adopted by large num-
Der of counties, or do they prefer State pro-
hibition? What disposition shall be made
of the convicts "a subject that has caused
more investigation, litigation, tribulation
and botheration, than any other that can
call to mind for score of years. Who is
your choice for U. s. SENATOR The people
would be gratihed to have their candidates
outspoken on all these subjects and If In &C
cord with the general will, they will be sure
not to forget it at the polls. As the illustri-
Gus Father of his country" advised we
should vote for measures and not men"
In point of fact, we should vote for men TO
advocate the measures, and they should be
men OF ability: Let the people speak out.
Cobb county should take that stand in our
Legislative Halls that her eminence in the
sisterhood Of counties justly entite her to.

BUILDING In MARIETTA.

Marietta correspondent to the Constitu-
ton puts it this way: Probably never in
the history of Marietta have our people ex-
perienced such building boom as it seems
we are to have this summer and fall. A few
days ago dirt was broken on the old hotel lot
for five handsome storerooms with iron and
plate glass fronts. This will fill out the on.
ly vacant space now fronting on the public
square, and in future all business houses
erected will have to be put up on streets
leading from the square. In addition to
this block, there are now in course of cree.
ton dozen handsome residences, besides
good large number not yet out of the
hands Of the architect. Work has also
been begun on the Marietta Male academy
building, making it larger The contract
for an elegant Office for the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad company has also
been let, while good large number OF
small cottages are going up in different
parts of the city. Thus the lovely little gem
city was never more prosperous and hap
pier than she is to-day.

The Methodist church at st. Johns
bury, VT, had a debt of $7O8 and
wanted it removed. So few Sun
days ago when the congregation
went TO church they saw behind the
pulpit a big blackboard, on which
was drawn mountain. The noun
tain was divided into apparent geo.
logical strata, and each stratum was
marked according to size with "sl, {"
49," ''s5" and so on up to $50.
The pastor said that he wanted to
see the mountain Of debt wiped out,
and as subscriptions were announced
from the congregation the cores
pending figures and sections were
wiped from the board; and in TWEEN
ty-fve minutes the whole mountain
had disappeared and there was $50
to spare.

Tariff revision is Cleveland's gilt

is an unprincipled cry of Stree

man Of proposing to disrobe because
he takes off his overcoat in warm

per cent. reduction of duties means
100 per cent. destruction. 1t is
this kind of captious criticism that
offends people. The traffic in false
colors, as evidence of loss of faith
and lack of trust in the power Of
honesty and virtue, is the thing that
threatens the party and multiplies
independence.
