THE MARIETTA LITERARY AND DE.
BATTING SOCIETY

Held most pleasant meeting at the res
idence of Mr.. Fl. A. Dunwody on the
evening of Thursday the 10th inst. Not
withstanding other attractions, small but
select representation of the membership
was present, and after the usual business,
the program was carried out, as follows:
Imprcmptu speeches of two minutes
length we're made by Mr.. D. C. Cole, on
the Prince of Wales" and Col. R. N.
Holland, on Gladstone The literary
quotations which are always an interesting
feature, were rendered particularly SO on
this occasion by the visitors taking part
An amusing extract on "The Discovery of
america" was read by E. H. Faw. Miss
Hattie Dunwody gave some pleasing reefs
tations which were much enjoyed. A de.
bate upon the subject Resolved, That the
Medical profession is better for young
man to enter than the Legal" followed
which was Of unusual interest, as it was
skilfully handled by Dr. W. W. McAfee
on the affirmative and Col. R. N Holland
on the negative. DR.. McAfee made a
splendid argument, closing with beauti,
full tribute to the nobility of the medical
profession. Col. Holland, in reply made
an able speech in behalf of the law, in
which the humorous and pathetic were
gracefully blended Both efforts displayed
thought, and were instructive as we'll as
entertaining.
Decidedly, the most enjoyable feature Of
the evening was the recitations of Miss
Marion Young. Her selections were pop,
ular including the grave and the gay bu
her graceful manner and cheerfulness il
complying with the repeated requests
made by her appreciative hearers, won fol
her the gratitude and enthusiastic applause

MONEY FOR OLD SOLDIERS.
The Payments by the State for Next
Year to Begin February 1.

w. II. Harrison, clerk of the exc
cutive department at Atlanta, states
that he is instructed by Gov. Gordon
to say that the payments to disabled
Confederate soldiers for tho year
ending Oct. "a, 1890. will begin'Feb-
ruary 1, 1890.
Four reasons are assigned for the
order:
l. That the payments cannot be
made until the taxes levied for the
purpose have been collected and
paid into the state treasury.
2. Because the heavy work re-
quired to examine, record, and issue
warrants to make these payments
can be done more rapidly in Feb
ruary and March than at any other
time.
3. Because it is not desirable to
make the payments for the whole
period in advance.
4. Because the payments made in
the early spring distribute the money
throughout the state alta time when
it is calculated to do the most good.
The executive department an
nounces that new blanks will be pre-
pared rext January and forwarded
by February |, and the payments
will be made as far as the applica-
tons can be properly examined and
recorded.
Those applicants who were paid
in 1888 and 1889 will not be requir-
ed to furnish any proof by physicians,
their officers or comrades, but they
must make application in the regu-
lar form and furnish the ordinary's
certificate of continued citizenship.
Applications for the pension al
lowance to disabled soldiers must be
made on the new blanks only, which
will be furnished by the ordinary,
who will not receive them until the
latter part of January, and applica-
tions must not be sent in until Feb,
ruary l, next.

life work of the deceased in its various
phases, the sun of his life going down at
noon, and the recital of his conversion and
acceptance of Christ and his boxing for
ward to his joining the church, stirred the
emotions of that attentive and intelligent
audience to its profoundest depths, and
brought tears to eyes unused to weeping.
At the conclusion of Rev Mr.. Walker
impressive and eloquent remarks Rev. j
W Baker paid beautiful tribute to the
deceased, who had been pupil of his in
acquiring that educatian that developed
those powers of mind that elevated him to
distinction among men. Mr. Baker stated
that he too had talked with Judge VIM
during his brief sickness and he was salts
fed with the sincerity of his conversion.
Judge WINS favorite hymn, Jesus
lover of my soul, was sung by the choir.
At this juncture the Odd Fellows took
charge of the remains end went through
part of the burial service of their order,
concluding at the grave, in the family en-
closure in the Episcopal Cemetery.
The distinguished jurist and citizen is
now at rest, and human hands have per-
formed the last kindly offices of esteem
and respect to the memory OF one who will
move among US no more forever.

IT is hoped that a large wheat
crop will be sown in Cobb county
this fall.s If the right kind of seed
wheat is obtained, and it is properly
put in the ground, this county will
produce fine. The average wheat
yield Of the United States is less
than 10 bushels per acre, and with
proper attention the lands of this
county will yield that. Ii the seed
from wheat that has run down is
sowed, and scratched in among a
wilderness of grass and weeds, it
will not yield so we'll. If farmers
will expend half as much labor in
producing crop of wheat as they
would have to on an equal area of
cotton, the clear profit on the for
mer would exceed that of the latter.
Cotton is valuable crop and can
not be dispensed with entirely, but
little less of it and little more of
other kinds Of crops, is necessary to
the welfare of the country.
