a good time generally prevailed. Marietta

SOME of the land in Cobb county this
coming year will not be cultivated. We
heard one person say that out OF several
hundred acres of land it was impossible to
rent more than enough to pay taxes. Most
all of the colored labor has focked to pub
lie works in cities and towns and the white
labor is inadequate to supply the demand.
There is room enough in Cobb county for
hundreds of white families who can get
| employment on farms here if there was
some way to induce them to come from
the cold West, where snow and ice inter-
feres with ont door work larger portion
OF the year. Here they could work the
entire year and would be we'll repaid for
their toll
Rev. JOEL 7, Dawes, SR., will close his
| labors here as pastor of the Methodist
| Church on the 7th of December and will
| then attend the annual conference at Car
tersville on the 9th. His work here has
been a!l.that could be expected. He has
been energetic, fervent ard fully alive to
the demands and duties of his place His
work has been fruitful of good. His ser>
mons have been instructive and able. We
don't believe any preacher in the confer>
! ence could have done better years work
here. His return will be gratifying.
For SALE CHEAP-A nice two seated
surrey. comparatively new. Also a good
covered, three seated spring wagon. Apt
ply to f. p. REYNOLDS.
The eclipse Of the moon, Sunday night,
from $3.50 to s o'clock, was visible and
many of our citizens turned their OPTICS
| heavenward, who had not done so in a long
time. The moon was in total eclipse for
! nearly an hour. but about o'clock she
emerged from the shadow of the earth and
went sailing on in grand splendor and
beauty: Even the moon Cannot sscape
dark shadows from being thrown athwart
It's pathway, and man need not expect less,
but like the moon it can come forth bright
er for its experience
The way to get big price for cotton is
Tor the farmers to combine and agree to
reduce the acreage about half The crop
as a whole would bring as much as it now
does and more time would be had to raise
supplies instead of buying them with cotton
proceeds.
MONEY is reported easy, but no matter
how easy it may be people will continue to
be uneasy. Some are uneasy because they
have none and others are restless to get
more
NOVEMBER Goth is thanksgiving day. If

the asylum nor poor house, and that YOU
have not been punished for all your mean :.
ness.
