confidence.

The election on Tuesday last for MAYOR
and other city officers passed off quietly
and, Superior like, had some surprises
in store, the chief one being the cleo.
ton of ii. w. Dietrich for mayor by a
majority Of So, though the friends OF
Mr.. Starkweather fully expected that
he would be elected by large majority.
Since his defeat they have been irwin.
to find cut "how it happened" and
the more they think the more it be.
comes plain that the discredit of his de.
feat belongs to the First ward. Over
100 electors deposited their ballots with
out making a choice for mayor, while
some twenty deposited their ballots i'll
the box without making mark on
them.
Judge Smith was reelected to the
Superior Court over the Republican
candidate, arl MIR. Rediors succeeds
Mr. Smead rs Comptroller. Some new
blood has been infused into the council,
which should have good results.

A GENIUS.

Marietta has a mechanical, inventive
and constructive genius in the person of
Mr.. A r. Murray, foreman of Glover
Machine Shop. He is the son of our
clever Tax Collector, Joe H. Murray
He is known as Desc Murray, and by
his gentlemanly manners has large
number of friends in our city who APP
preciate his worth. From early boy
hood he has been inventing and con-
structing different machinery, steam
engines, monographs, telephones, dy.
namos, &c. He is a graduate of oul
State archaeological School and is one
of the brightest and most skilled me-
chanics in the south. On last Thurs
day we were permitted to see new
electric dynamo which he has nearly
completed, which will be capable o
furnishing seventy-five Is candle power
lights, and will be put in operation soor
, to light up Glover's machine shop He
made every piece Ct it out of materia
in the shop, except the wire. 1t is
fine piece of work and shows the in
telligent and thinking mind tina
brought it into existence. Such youns
men are credit to the country ant
we all feel proud of Desc Murray

CORR COUNTY AT oMAHA.

Mr. w, d. Anderson who travels for
the Bibb County Manufacturing Com
pany, was in Omaha, Neb., the other
day and attended the Exposition He
found the Georgia building and exhibit
surprising by far that of any other
state He says that the exhibit made
by Mr.. John A Manget Of III different
articles, grown on twenty-five acres in
Cobb county, attracted the attention
of everybody Mr. ]. L Miller, of this
place, who has charge of the Georgia
exhibit. took special pains in deliver
ing a lecture to everybody in extolling
Georgia, her climate, resources and
clever people. He told of what Won
ders our climate had done for him in
restoring his wasted health, and what
marvellous resources Of marble, tim
bers and minerals that this section pos
sessed. He pointed with pride to the
remarkable exhibit of one man, Mr..
Manget, what could be done on our soil
by industry Mr.. T. B. Brady Of our
county has very creditable exhibit
also. Ex-Governor Northen has set
apart September Doth as Georgia day,
and everybody ought to go that can, as
they will be well repaid for their trip.

TAX LAWS.

The tax laws need radical revision
to bring about true returns OF taxable
property This is a matter of such vi
tai importance that it cannot be fur
ther ignored, and our law makers will
have to inaugurate measures to lift the
burden from those who honestly return
their property at it's true value. If all
property was equally assessed, then
taxation could be reduced The ad-
justment of values will bring new era
of prosperity to Georgia and an influx
of capital and vestments which is now
kept out by high taxes. People with
money to invest always inquire as to
the tax rate. 1t is high enough in
Georgia now, and must not be raised

FRANKS OF THE LIGHTNING.

Last Saturday afternoon about 4 80
torrents, the merchants on the north
and west sides of the square, and the
passers-by who had stopped under their
awnings for shelter, were almost deaf
ened and blinded by tremendous re-
port and flash of light Being of the
number, our first thought was that an
explosion of some sort had taken place,
but we soon learned that it was bolt
of lightning. 1t seemed to us that it
struck the ground near the waterplug
in front of Legg Bros grocery store.
We were standing under Messrs. Nell s
and Smiths awning. We distinctly
felt the effects of the electricity and
We're made little bit sick by it. Num-
bers of others were also slightly shock
ed. Mr.. A. d. Clark was at the time
in his room in Mrs. Browns boarding
house when the bolt fell upon a tree
about twenty feet away, throwing the
bark therefrom into his window and
SCATTERING an electric globe. He ex-
pressed himself as having been severe
ly shocked. Mr.. Sloan Thompson, in
his shop nearby, was shocked also, and
an electric globe broken where he was
at work
The same stroke broke a number of
window glasses in the upper stories of
the Elmwood Hotel We are thankful
that no greater damage was done
