OF laws relating to intoxicating drinks.
The complaint, if any exists, is on the
other side viz That the law is too
thoroughly enforced Some time since a
negro detective by the name of Capt Bob
Payne, was hired by the city government
to hunt up cases in the city. He succeed.
ed In working up some cases, and now as
result of said investigation, it is pext to
impossible for a strange negro or white
man to get anything stronger to drink

local items are scarce, and people in
town are not doing much and the farmers
are all hard at work and don't come to

the past, dances and social entertainments
are rare and about the only amusement in
which the average business young man has
sufficient energy to indulge is a private

Mr.. THos l. Moon who lives about two

which the forms could be seen. He says
he has Is acres in cotton and will average
at least six inches. This is the finest we
have seen Or heard of so far, and only
shows what can be done in old Cobb if
properly cultivated.

EDITORS JOURNAL: The suggestion that
a cotton factory would be a much better
investment for our city than electric
lights, is first rate idea. We need ems
ployment for working people. Too many
young girls idle, that would gladly help
their working fathers, yet have no chance
for employment, and the money proposed
for electric lights would no doubt do
more good if invested in a cotton factory.
