Dewberry got information that led them
to visit Mr.. r. A. Hargrove's farm near
Smyrna, and they found working in a
field George Tidwell, white boy, who
was dressed in woman's clothing. lid
we'll. it will be remembered, escaped
from jail here several months ago. He
is charged with rape. When Tidwell
saw the officers he attempted to escape
by jumping in very deep ditch.
Sheriff Bishop jumped in on him and
had terrible tussle with the young
man, as he fought like tiger. His
mother, brother and sister, who were
working in the field also, with uplifted
hoes attempted to come to young It'd
wells rescue, but were warned off by
the fourishing of pistol. Tidwell was
brought to Marietta that evening and
lodged in jail. Since his escape he has
been at River Hill, Cumming, and on
Saturday returned to his mothers and
put on the apparel of woman.
DIED-Little. Wray Cotton Gates, the
IA year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.

In consequence of injuries received by
careless nurse dropping him thirteen
feet from veranda, when only four
years old, he spent the remainder of his
life in Eastern hospitals under the best
medical treatment, but his injuries
were permanent, and he had returned
home only a month, when death re-
lieved the little sufferer. His burial

A number of our citizens are pleased
with the suggestion that a hotel be
built in the Whitlock grove on Atlanta
street. If interest could be stimulated
in this enterprise sufficient to enlist
subscriptions and the building of the
hotel, it would help the town very

the winter and summer who do not
come now. Our other hotels would
also be benefited. Their transient
patronage would not be intarferred
with in the least, but would be increas-
ed. Mr.. Whitlock made a success
years ago of the hotel business and he
would do it again. Cannot something
| be done in this direction ?
"This is the way of it," said Mari
eta man as he mopped his perspiring
brow, and tried to select bridal pres

great tables of bridal presents which
attest the great popularity of the groom

the day of reckoning will come. have
had to buy three handsome bridal pres
ents in the last ten drys, two of them
to go to distance. I had not given any
thing less handsome or expensive than

the fashion go out I wonder?"
Some one writes of the great future
of Cuba and Porto Rico, of the virgin
land" and only needing energetic men
to develop the riches. The same can
be said of Georgia. Capital backed by
energy would develop this section with
far more favorable results. Besides,
we have here healthy climate, good
water and civilized people with atten-
dant blessings that cannot be had in
Cuba or Porto Rico. Cobb county will
afford all the advantages that any in
dustrious man need to want.
