The following from the Philadelphia
Times suggos.s a number of thoughts
worth considering. The Times says:
"The coroner's report for the year just
closed shows that even in :his City of
Brothery Love the descendants of Cain
are far too numerous for the credit of
the community. Thir'y-one murders
were reported for tAe year. Fourteen
victims were stabbed 10 death, three were
poisoned four were shot and ten were
killed by other injuries, ranging from
blow on the head with club to a forced
tumble down stairs and q broken neck at
the bottom. How many Of the-e homi-
oides were deliberately planned and how
many were the outcome of drunken or
has'y quarrels ia not stated, The use OF
the knife in over half the cases indicate
that drink was az the bottom of a large
proportion Of the murders. While the
number will be great 81 the number OF
homooid,s in a Single year In city whose
inhabitants IS a body are noted for their
devotion 10 peace aud good order, the
fact that ninety nine persons whom no
one wished TO murder, killed themselves

world OF themselves. But the ninety.

in the matter Of their taking of. Yet
ninety nine persons ia Philadelphia
during the past year found life not only
not worth living, but 80 burdensome that
they were willing to lay violent hands on
themselves. There Is no disPuuug the

SOME IMPROVEMENTS
On Dallas Street--Mr. Welch'S New
Residence, &c.

IT was our pleasure during the holidays
to visit the western part of town in com
pany with Mr. Joseph Paige, who resides
just outside of the corporate limits of the
city. We find that this part of town is
improving wonderfully. Mr. Paige Mr.
Joseph NJ. Brown, Mr.. Thomas Bussey
and Mr. H. l.. WEIGH have contributed
$50 each towards improving Dallas road.
Fence lines have been set it, the hill has
been dug down to some extent and the
hollow filled in three feet and the road has
been very much widened. A new bridge
has been built and foot bridge connecting
with new side walk added. These gen
tlemen are not through work yet and pro-
pose to contribute an additional sum and
make that road one of the very best. The
new and palatial residence of Mr. II. L.
Welch of Waterbury, Conn, has just been
completed on the DR.. Cleland place This
is two story, twelve room dwelling and
is one of the best constructed houses in
this vicinity. The interior finish is simply
magnificent. The arrangement of the
house is perfect and convenient and re-
fleets credit on the contractor, Mr.. W. Z.
Edmonston. The supervision of the build
ing has been under the direction of Mr.,
Joseph Paige for his friend, Mr. Welch,
and we dare say that Mr. Welch will be
well pleased with this beautiful and elegant
home
Mr.. Paige's lovely home is just opposite
and model home it is in every respect.
Every modern convenience is supplied.

RAILROAD WRECK.

One of the worst accidents known
for years on the Western and At
lantic railroad was that which oc-
cured on Sunday morning, Dec.
22d, at McIvor's station.
The train was a regular passenger
train No. 20 from Chattanooga to
Atlanta. 1t was behind time and
running at its highest speed, AS
it was passing Mclvor's station the
engine jumped the track owing to
a misplaced switch, and ran on the
ground for three hundred feet. All
of the cars left the track and the
mail car, combination baggage and
express car and second class car
were completely broken up.
Few of the passengers were
hart. Several of the mail agents
and train hands were bruised and
injured.
j. Hugh Young, of Gainesville,
one of the mail agents, was killed.
This was only the second trip Mr..
Young had made as mail agent.
John Wood, colored barber OF
this place, was injured on the leg.

IN ASHES.
THE GUANO FACTORY DESTROYED
BY FIRE.
will Be Rebuilt at Once.

The sold year" had been gathered
to the sepulchre of the past not one
hour, when with the birth Of the
"New Year" came disaster to one
of our successful enterprises, the
Marietta Guano Factory. 1t was
nearly one o'eolck Tuesday morning
when the darkness of the night was
Illuminated by the blaze of the de-
stluctive element, the pillows Of
black smoke rolling skyward, gloomy
and appalling. Rapidly sounded the
fire alarm, not as Joyous bells" but
as the tocsin of sadness. The dis
lance from the square, placed the
factory out Of the reach of water and
the fire engine could do nothing,
only the Hook and Ladder company
reached the scene of confsgration,
and they could do nothing. In a
short time the building and machin-
cry lay in heap OF ruins. Not a
dollar of insurance, this had been
delayed not for lack of prudence and
business forethought, but with a
view of unloading the cars of ingre-
dients and material then on side
track and then this week place in
surance on the entire amount. The
loss is $4,000.
The fire evidently was the work
of an incendiary, as the factory had
not been started up this season. The
night Waterman, at the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad shops,
says he saw the fire in its incipiency,
it being built with shavings,
saturated with kerosene, in one cor
ner of the building and that he i'm
mediately threw buck of water on
the burning pile, and as soon as the
water struck the kerosene it explod-
ed and the flames spread in every
direction, he dropping and losing his
bucket in making his escape.
The factory was built by McKen-
zie & Warren, and proved quite a
a success. Recently Messrs. inc r.
Winters, R II Northcutt and A NJ
Dobbs bought half interest in it.
These gentlemen have secured lum-
Der and bought new machinery and
in ten days they expect to be in oper-
alton and all orders will be promptly
filled without delay. Success to
their pluck and energy.

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made
when DR.. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITTERs; bat it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood
etc, were called Bitters. Had he called it
Prickly Ash Regulator Curative, or
almost anything but Btters, undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepara-
tons of similar character The name Bit
tiers is misleading; it is purely medicine,
and cannot be used as a beverage.
