Ike Daniel, of Middleton, was

We wish to correct the mistake
in last weeks issue. We did have
an invitation to stay all night
with Mr.. and. Mrs. V. V. Horn
the night of the candy pulling.
We thank them for their kind
ness to us.
Miss Hattie Hocknell, of Ma
rietta visited her cousin, Mrs.
Nora Wylie, last week.
Mr.. J. l.. Wylie had q very fine
milk COW to die last Friday night.
Died.-Little Lois, the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Eli
Thomas, died the 18th inst, and
was laid to rest last Sabbath in
New Hope cemetery. We tender
our sympathy to the bereaved
parents and relatives.
We congratulate our friend w.
S. Cheney for the stand he has
taken for the laboring class of
people and tax payers of Cobb
county in regard to city court
in Cobb county. We have no use
for city court: we have judges
enough, we have jurors enough,
we have sheriffs enough, we have
clerks enough, and we have enough
officers now to gouge the very eye
balls out of the poor tax payer
We need something to lower our
tax and not to raise it. We need
something that will benefit the
laboring class of people as we'll as
the lawyer; but in the place of
doing anything for the farmer,
everything is heaped upon them
and they have the burden to bear,
and when you cripple the farmer
you cripple the backbone of the
world, for everything is depending
on the farmer. / have talked to
several people about this matter,
and ! find that they arc all OPP
posed to a city court. Now, if
this court should be established
in Marietta and meet as often as
the law would require it to meet,
the people would have to stop
their work at all times of the year
to attend court, right in the busy
time OF the year, and not get any
thing for their time, and then pay
tax to run it. | think it would be
too much for the good people of
Cobb county. / have not only
talked to people in the settlement
in which l live, but I have talked
to people in differant parts of the
county and they all say they don t
want any more courts. If we have
any more tax to pay let it be for
a cause that will do the people
more good. We have to pay ev-
cry school teacher in the county
from one cent up to four cents for
every scholar that goes to school
above what the county pays, and
| think it would be better for us
if we are taxed in any way to pay
it in that way 50 our children
could get the benefit of it. Now,
| would like to hear from more of
the correspondents on this sub
ject. BEULAH.

The winter winds sweep around
the corner of the house with a
shrek that sends chill up and
down our spinal column, causing
us to ponder DER the condition of
the coal house, the woodpile, the
extremely light weight of our
clothing, and forces the question,
"What did we do with our last
summers wages? And how shall
we extricate ourselves from the
present predicament?"
We have a new street in town

Avenue.
Miss Mae Terrell, one of Smyr-
mas charming young ladies, left

Atlanta.
Mr.. Sam Irelan barely escap-
ed the loss of his barn and con-
tents by fire last Saturday morn
ing. The fire originated in bale
of cotton, which had been placed
in the barn Friday night. Be-
yond destroying the bale of cotton
and burning hole in the floor,
the blaze did no damage. 1t was
q warm time for while. The
cotton was owned by Mr.. Lum
Irelan.
Miss Lessie Crockett, charm
ing little lady from Kansas City,
who has been visiting Mr.. and
Mrs. w. R. Newton during the
past summer, left for her home
last Wednesday,
Died-Last Saturday evening
about six o'clock, Mrs. Jennie
Bentley Pace, the beloved wife of
DR., w. T. Pace, after an illness
of six weeks duration. Mrs. Pace
was taken sick with typhoid fever
and gradually grew weaker until
Saturday, when death ended the
struggle. She was married to DR..
Pace eleven years ago; three chill
dren blessed the union. Mrs.
Pace was about 30 years old,
noble christian woman, good
neighbor, and a devout member of
the Baptist church. She is the
first of flarge family, eight in
number, called to the beautiful
realms above. She was loving,
faithful wife, kind and indulgent
mother, and a friend to all; no
one knew her but to love her.
Her husband and children, and
father, mother, brothers and sis
ters survive her. Her remains
were taken to Gresham graveyard,
near Woodstock, and laid to rest
i'll the family burying ground.
We extend our sympathy to the
bereaved and assure them that as
they mourn, we mourn with
them. "The Lord gave and
the Lord taketh: Blessed be the

Scientist, Will Send Free, TO the Afflicted,
Three Bottles Of His.Newly Discovered
Remedies TO Cure Consumption
and All Lung Troubles.

Noting could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more Joy to the afflicted,
than the offer OF T. A. Slocum, NJ. c., of
1S3 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an abb
solute cure for consumption and all pulmo-
nary complaints, and to make its great
merits known, he will send. free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of the
FERGUS CoUSTY ARGUS who is suffering
from chest, bronchial, throat and lung
troubles or consumption.
Already this new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thous-
ands OF apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious duty
"a duty which he owes to humaDity-to
donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence OF the
great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be a durable disease beyond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending-the
mistake will be in overlooking the generous
invitation. He has on file in his American
and European laboratories imonia of
experience from those cured, in all parts OF
the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Address
T. A. Slocun. NJ. c., 50 Pine street, New

FINDS IN FILL.
Exploration Party Discovers New
on the Island.

A scientific exploration party in
charge of Prof. Agassiz recently paid a
visit to the Fiji islands, making some
discoveries of much general interest,
reports the Japan Gazette. At Maram-
bo they located an extinct volcano, open
on the north side. Dotted owe the sur
face of the water in the crater were
numerous mushroom-shaped rocks, and
the water itself in the light of a burn
ing sun revealed to the visitors hitherto
unknown beauties of color. At Toloya
n crater of an extinct volcano was
found, into which the steamer could
enter ard sail around. Here, as in other
places, the visitors were entertained
with a "miki, miki," which seems to be
something in the nature of a corro-
boree.
In the various lagoons visited dredg-
ing was resorted to for the purpose of
securing specimens of coral and marine
animalcule. On the rocks at the base
of the Solos lighthouse, near the North
Astrolabe reefs, at Kandava island, two
sea snakes were caught by Capt.
Thompson. who saw no less than ten
of them in as many minutes.
The capture of several live speci-
mems of bulolo, or coral worms. APP
peared to ave caused much gratifica-
ton TO the searchers. who, aided by the
natives in canoes. discovered them in
thousands. The worm is said to dis
solve after being about two hours on the
surface. When the results of Prof.
Agassiz's Investigations + made pub
lie they will, doubtless. provide much
interesting and valuable information.

Boston Men Kick Anyway.

The discipline of the older section of
the country is not much more severe
than that of the newly settled regions,
where they think the fasteners are alb
surdly fnical and only a shade less
fussy than the English. A hotel clerk
beyond the Missouri once advised a
Bostonian in a friendly spirit never to
register from Boston. "Why?" the in
