A Marvel in Cotton.

A few days ago at Lake City we
were shown some specimens Of the
African Jackson Limbless variety
of cotton, raised on the plantation
of Maj. S NJ Askins by Mr.. B Miles,
one OF his tenants. AS the name
implies, this cotton is limbless. the
pods growingin clusters close to the
stalk. These clusters contain from
ten to twelve full l-grown bolls. 1t
is really a wonderful sight and
must be seen to be appreciated.
The stalks grow tc a great height,
from eignt to eleven feet, and are
literally covered with bolls, having
them fully matured to the very
top. We counted twenty-four
opan pods OH piece of stalk elev-
en- inches from the top!
Mr.. Miles, as an experiment,
bought a halt pound OF seed last
year for four dollars. This made a
yield of 800 pounds of cotton. lie
has placed a limited quantity of
these seed with Maj. S NJ Askins
for sale, where the stalks OF cotton
described are also on exhibition.

A Thanksgiving Dining.

= The hospitable home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Jacobs was the rendez.
vous of quite number of young
people last Thursday evening,
where they were invited TO a
Thanksgiving dining. Everything
conspired to make the occasion a
delightful one, and at an early
hour the spacious parlors were
thronged with guests. At 6:3O
o'clock dinner was announced, and
the crowd soon repaired to the
dining room, which was scene Of
unusual beauty and splendor.
Profuse floral decorations, subdued
by refined taste, delighted the eye,
and the lavish display of appetiz-
ing viands attained to perfection
in the culinary art. Every seat at
the long table was filled and every
one seemed happy and content.
When dinner was over (which
was not soon) the salle.a. manger
was converted into dancing hall,
and 10 the music of an improvised
orchestra the nimble nymph of
dancing held despotlc sway until
the hands of the clock assumed
the perpendicular and the stroke
of midnight proclaimed the advent
of another morn.
The favored ones present were
unstinted in their expressions OF
enjoyment and appreciation ofthe
admirable entertainment provided
by their hosts.

THE CITY COURT ONCE MORE.

To the People of Cobb County THE
card of Mr. Morris last week did not
undertake to reply to mine about there
being no necessity for city court in
this county; or, if a necessity, why he
could not get all he wanted by amend
ing our laws applying to our Superior
court and withot increasing new offices
and salaries nor did he show that the
movement arose out of any demand
from the people for new court.
Under the circumstances, no further
newspaper reply seems necessary.
He furnished certain statements from
lawyers practicing in city courts else
where and from judges who hold the
offices and draw the salaries. To all of
this l could easily reply, and show that
they furnish no sufficient reason why
Cobb county should, under present
conditions, have one of these courts.
The statement upon which he seems
to base his case most strongly is that
OF the Judge of the Jackson county
city court. | am reliably informed
that the pressure from the people to
abolish this court was so strong that
two years ago they elected two repre-
sentatives pledged to abolish it. The
bill was introduced, but this Judge who
makes statement, and others interest
ed in the court being retained, went
before the legislative committee and
succeeded in defeating the bill One
OF the reasons urged why it should be
retained was that the Superior court
was greatly behind in cases. The cleo
ton of representatives pledged against
the court by the people of Jackson
county and the cause urged for it's re-
tention is complete answer from the
peoples standpoint, of the argument
in favor of such a court here.
With this explanation, the news
paper controversy is ended The peo-
pie were put on notice and have re-
spcnded almost to man. If Mr. Nor
ris insists upon introducing his bill the
next fight will be before our law-mak-
ing body and we will show them be-
yound doubt that the people in Cobb
do not want it.
In the fight against the bill will be
found Hon. George NJ McElreath in
the House, and Hon. h. T.. Nesbtt in
the Senate.
Most respectfully,
w. S. CHENEY.
