Laying pressed brick on the new
station building at the depot, is a slow
process, not more than $50 per day can
be laid by one person. These brick
cost about $40 per Thousand and make
a beautiful exterior.
Two young men were out of matches
the other night and wanted to light
their cigarettes. They were off the
square and were puzzled to know how
to obtain light. The happy thought
struck them to lower the electric arc
light, which they did, lit their cigar
etts, and hoisted the lamp back again.
On Sunday, on Atlanta street, Mr..
Dorse Delk got out of his buggy to hold
his horse to keep him from getting
frightened at passing train. His sis
ter, Miss Missouri Delk, jumped out
and fell, the horse backed the buggy
over her, and also stepped on her, in
juring her side, but not seriously.
An old colored man was i'll and sent
for physician. The. NJ. d. diagnosed
his case as muscular rheumatism. At
forwards, in describing his physical in
firmities to friend who was paying
him visit, the old man called it mu-
steal rheumatism. Not very far from
the truth, oftentimes, considering the
noise that the afflicted ones make
Hon. John T. Boifeuillet was elected
Clerk of the Georgia House of Repre-
sentatives by p majority on Wednes-
day. This insures the position of
Reading Clerk to our fellow townsman,
Mr. d. F. McClatchey, Jr., as he, back
ed by the two Representatives of Cobb
county, formed combination to that
end. Mr.. McClatchey will make a
lumber one clerk and is to be congrat-

The Marietta Telephone Company
deserves and, doubtless, enjoys the APP
appreciation of all its patrons. It's ser
vice is almost,perfect. Miss Lille Mae
Warlick is most faithful and obliging
assistant manager, always exerting
herself to the utmost to give satisfac-
ton to every one. The same can be
said of Mr.. A. A. Towers. How did we
ever get along before the days of steam
and electricity?
Mrs. j. G. Draughn has in her pos
session two silver spoons which are
considerably over one hundred and
twenty-five years old. They belonged
to her at-great-grandfathe and
have lost scarcely any of their original
weight or polish. The silverware and
jewelry of "old times" for exceeds
that of to day in real worth. The same
holds true of many other things.
The letter written by Mr.. Richard
II. Earle, descriptive of western tour
of Georgia editors and others, which
appeared in last issue of the JOURNAL.
has been highly praised for its easy and
graceful style. The list of writer's and
authors has been robbed of a shining
light owing to the extreme modesty of
Mr.. Earle. There are very few even of
his own home people who are aware
of the vast resources of his learning.
The Macon Telegraph and the At
lanta Journal both copy our article of
last week in speaking of the successful
farming of our worthy colored man, w.
P. Butler. They speak in compliments
of his indusry. If he can make mother
earth in Cobb county yield abundantly
on the intensive system, others, white
and black, by like methods can do the
same, and ought never to talk about
farming doesn't pay. 1t does pay
when rightly conducted.
These crisp October days are carrying
many town pople to the country for
walks and drives and to gather the
