What may be the largest open-air
horse show ever held in this country
will begin here on Monday. The entry
list includes ass horses. Both in num-
Der and quality they surpass the most
sanguine expectations of the promot-
ers.
A feature of the show will be the
large number of four-in-hand. tandem
and housekeeping classes shown. In
the four-in-hand class no less than IL
teams are entered and 1t Is probable
that the horse show arena Will take
the place of the abandoned coaching
parade this year. The same seems TO
be true In the harness and sporting
tandem classes. for which 22 entries
have been received

Thousands have tried from time .imme-
mortal to discover some cfficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, Of 78 Fifth
Avenue, Net York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions. ETC., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind Of
new life that Immediately cxhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations Of
any kind. o
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,
during the present month, give to all call

The following is what a number of
the lawyers of this Bar have to saw
about the city court. You.wiIl remem-
Der that Col. Cheney stated in his last
article that he could only find four in
favor of it. This is fair example, OF
his search for the truth in reference to
the court:
Marietta, November 10, 1898.
We the undersigned members of the
Marietta Bar favor the passage of the
bill for city court of Cobb county as
outlined by Mr.. N. A. Morris in his
recent letter in the Marietta Journal,
for various reasons We believe it will
be economical to the tax payers, and a
great convenience to litigants and 9TH
ers having business in court
lSigned: ]. E. Motley, Geo. ID.
Anderson, E. 2. Green, Moultrie M.
Sessions, ID. W. Blair, Chas. H. Griffin,
Fred Morris, w. M. Sessions, A. N.
Edwards"
Il sign the above petition on the
ground that believe the public inter-
est demands an intermediate court for
the trial of the class of cases provided
for in the pending bill of Mr.. Morris.
G. d. Phillips"
Now, did not state,to Col Cheney,
or any one else, at any time, that we
would have new clerk and solicitor
for the city court. l always stated to
the contrary, and never told any one
that the judges salary would be over
100000 per annum.
Col. Cheney wants to know why |
don't fix it so we can have more terms
OF the Superior court. Tie reason is
this: We can do the same work with
the city court that the Superior court
does at less than one half the expense
and for that, with other reasons. we
want the city court established Then
he suggests that we can let the grand
jury estrblish county court. Of
course no one wants court of that
kind, because it is court of limited
jurisdiction and you could carry cases
from 1T to the Superior court on motion,
and then to the Supreme court, whereas,
in the city court on all motions, you
would go directly to the Supreme court
gave my statement as to Jail fees in
my former article, based upon our ex-
animation of the Ordinary's books.
Now, Col. Cheney and Mr., Bishop have
made their statement. / invite any
one who doubts my statement to ex-
anime the Ordinary's books for himself
| appeal to every honest tax payer Of
this county to look well into thiskmat-
ter andbe'not deceived by those who
would mislead them for selfish and
other motives. Study the question for
yourselves and from "A business stand
point. Go to the records of your courts
and find out what the cost of running
the Superior court is and then com
pare that with the cost of the trial Of
like cases in court that can run with
half the expense and calculate from
facts and figures what you will save.
Think how many of you opposed the
abolishing or doing away with fences
when the question was first agitated
several years ago, and, think now, how
badly you were mistaken and how
much you have saved by this law
The same will be true of the city
court. 1t only needs to be tried to
prove that it will save the tax payers a
considerable amount each year in taxes.
Respectfully,
n. A. MORRIS
