DEAR JouRNAL-Now and then /
get astray copy Of old Cobb's most
worthg and influential paper, and
am always proud to hear OF the
steady growth Of the 1.GemG City,
and the country generally. I do
not know Of a county in our State,
or even in the entire South, which
has more attractions than Cobb
Sitting like fair jewels in her crown.
are Marietta, Austell, Acworth,
Elizabeth, Powder Springs, Roswell,
Smyrna, Winnings, Concord, Mable-
ton, and ether minor places, forming
an array Of thrift, energy and beau
ty hard to duplicate. But what is
Of inestimable worth to the grand
old county, is the real worth of its
honest, moral and patriotic citizens,
i i 20 \ Il & !
and the JOURNAL which aids them
in every right endeavor. -
To my surprise, / found that even
here in Tennessee, a note had been
made Of the meeting of Cobb coun-
ty citizens in opposition to the sale
of the Okeefonokee swamp lands.
An intelligent gentleman said to me
last week, "You tGeorgians need
have no fears for the honest admin
istration Of the affairs and interests
Of your great State, if you will bat
fearlessly elect such men as COM
posed that meeting to become your
law makers and guardians of its
honor" Another one said to me,
'The farmers OF the Cobb county
resolutions in opposition to the sale
of the Okeefonokee lands, are the
right material out of which to elect
your legislators. Being identified
with Georgia for thirty-6ve years,
and with Cobb county for twenty
seven, it naturally thrills and pleas
es me to know that reading men in
other States are SO familiar With,
and give such high praises to, oar
county paper, and its patriotic citi-
zens. So T. F. JEFFRIEs.

We are none of us glad to find we
have an enemy. Yet is often well
to have some who are unfriendly, as
we are more apt to know from them
our short comings and failings. If
we are truly worthy no one can
make US unworthy. cit is only
those who are despisable who fear
being despised."

Some OF the swearing statesmen
around Washington are indignant
because Chaplain Milburn prayed
that less profanity might be heard
in congressional halls. They think
that Mr.. Milburn should not intro,
duce personalities in his prayers. 1t
seems TO be a difficult matter for
the ten commandments ana the pol
iticians to get on terms of intimacy.

A leading colored man of New
York city wants to know why it is
that the men of his race do not sue
coed in that city in rising above the
positions of boot black and porter.
His question is easily answered.
The northern people have a preju-
dice against the colored people that
is much stronger than southern
whites have against the blacks.
The colored people will admit that
this is true after awhile.

The NJ. E. Church on Temperance.

The following report from the Commit
tee on Temperance, was presented 10 the
fourth Quarterly Conference of James NJ
E. Church, Rising Sun. held Jan q, 1890,
and was adopted by that body and ordered
to be printed in the MIDLAND JNURNAL.
We believe our Church stands square on
the subject of Temperance, and receives
heartily the sentiment uttered by our Gen
eral Conference: that Total abstinence
from all intoxicating drinks is the proper
rule for the individual" and the illegal
prohibition of the manufacture and sale of
all intoxicating beverages is the duty of
civil government" And while we as in
dividuals are practicing the first, we are
earnestly laboring TO bring about the second
And although we may not see eye to eye, in
regard to the best means to accomplish this
end, we stand ready TO help and bid God
speed to all honest efforts put forth to bring
about his purpose.
We believe the present Prohibitory Law,
now in force in this county, although not
altogether suppressing the vice, is accom-
plishing much good in our community, and
we therefore declare our purpose and prom
Use our best efforts to defeat any attempt to
engraft upon our county High License
Law in the place Of our present Prohibitory
Law.
We are surprised and panied that the
Governor of our State should recommend to
our present legislature, the enactment ola
high license law. But we trust that such a
deluge of petitions may flood in upon our
Delegates that they may be deferred from
taking any such action.
We acknowledge with gratitude the good
being done by our colaborers in this great
moral reform, in our community, THE
MIDLAND JOURNAL, the w. G. T. U. and
Loyal Legion and we believe with the
blessing of God on such influences as are
being exerted upon our community the out
look for the cause is good in our midst.

Chairman Com. on Temperance.

Barn and Live Stock Burned

A large barn on the Peach farm near
st. Augustine, OH Bohemia Manor, in
the second district was burned on
Tuesday evening, with its contents.
The farm is owned by John J.
Williams eX-county commissioner.
The live stock, comprising Z head of
horses, II cows and IS hogs, was bnrn-
ed to death. All the provender was
destroyed, as well as some agricultural
implements and harness. The farm is
tenanted by James B. Spear, who dis
covered the fire to late to release the
stock from the burning building. Some
sheds were also burned. The dwelling
and granary caught fire several times,
but were saved. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but incendiarism is sus-
pected, as this is the third fire that has
occurred in that vicinity in the last ten
days. The building and stock are be-
lieved to be insured in the Farmers
and Mechanics Fire Insurance Com
