| As the editor OF the j 0URNAL won I
entertain the idea of being candidate
for State Senator, why won't Col. W. r..
Power do? He is all right. He has
done our county honest and faithful
service in the position of school commits
sioner, and would do equally as faithful
service in the Senate. It's Cobb county
| time, SO let us send man who deserves
it.
Mr.. Henry Worley fell while working
on the house of Mr.. Hulsey last Monday
week and was very seriously hurt, but
we are glad to see him out again.
Mr.. Charles Irelan and family visited
their father, Mr.. j.. A. Templeton, last
Sunday. Mr.. Irelan is former citizen
of our community, and we wish him well
in his new locality near Austell.
Messrs. Frank Reed and Ben Boswell
have purchased the Farley Baswell gin
and machinery and will continue to ac-
commodate the public in that locality.
1t is one of the best patronized gins in
the county, and under the management
of these two enterprising young men we
can safely predict success to them and
satisfaction to the patrons. Mr.. Reed is
a young man of our community.
Claude, the little son of Mr.. Robert
Legg, has been quite sick but we are glad
to hear of his improvement.
Mr.. Ben Booth, of MONDAY, was down
to visit relatives Sunday.
Mrs. n. III. Stewart has returned home
after spending two weeks very pleasantly
with her parents at Carrollton.
Rev. Ayers, of Marietta, spent the day
with Mr. j j. York last Thursnay. We
understand that he is looking for a place
so that he might locate in the country.
We would be very glad to have him
with us.
The school at this place continues to
increase in numbers, 70 now on the roll.
There is nothing like having a good
school in community.
Well, how about due West," cup
shaw" "Oaklands," Smyrna, Acworth,
Middleton, Austell, Due East, Camp
Ground, Antioch, Roswell, Oregon, and
all you other correspondents? Do you
want to picnic with us? No one has
spoken out but Lost Mountain. We are
anxious to know. If SO, say so. If not,
say so-you want hurt our feelings eth
er way. If you want it somewhere else,
all right. Let us have picnic some
where, and say where we will have it so
the people may look out for it. Suppose
we have it about July 30th. Well, we
nearly forgot ''Kon' of Nickaiack.
How about it, old fellow May be you
won't have such long road to travel
next time, and possibly you can get
there before noon and won't have such
Ruff time at most.
Mr.. Lift Moon and family, who have
been located at Kingston for some time,
returned last Saturday aud will reside in
our community for the remainder of the
year. Smallpox in Kingston is assigned
as the reason for leaving good position.
We welcome them back.
Hon. Allen ID. Gambler will be the next
Governor of Georgia, and Col. Nesbitt
the next Commissioner of Agriculture,
and we hope Colonel Power senator from
this district.
We were at Middleton last Friday
night where literary society was or
ganized. This community has splendid
talent, and if sufficient interest was taken
this would be one among the best litera-
ry societies in the county.
Mr.. Will Templeton entertained quite
q number of friends on last Friday
night. 1t is reported as an enjoyable
occasion.
Mr.. j. p. York said that one of the
most miraculous things that ever crossed
his path occurred last Sunday afternoon
while two young ladies on gray horse
were passing his home. He claims that
while sitting by the window of the front
room meditating over a sad and disap-
pointed matrimonial career notwith-
standing that all along through life his
platform has been cornbread and his is
sue turnip greens, and while thus con-
sidering the past failures of his life,
these two young ladies just referred to
came by, and to his establishment these
two charming and beautiful young ladies
gave him broad and pleasant smiles with
such force that he too was smiling before
he knew it, and all excruciating pains
which had but one moment before
been dealing him death blows had van
ished; but the most impressive thing of
all, and to his horrible surprise, when
the two smiles met there was an explo-
sion, and loud report of laughter fol-
lowed, He still lives and hopes that his
future lot in life may be never to wit
ness such a sight again. FUND.-
