A dog at Mr.. Isaac Darby's house, in
the country, began acting strange, and
Mr.. Darby kept his child in the house,
but Friday the child sat down on the
front steps when the dog came up and
attacked the child, biting the child in
the mouth and upper lip, pulling out
several teeth, and also bit the child
through the nose, making ugly and
painful wounds. A mad stone was sent
for in town and applied to the wounds.
The stone adhered and no visible
poison was extracted. Some apprehen-
sion is felt as to results. The dog was
killed.
Master Gardener Phillips, son of Col
q. d. Phillips, of this place, was en-
route home from Atlanta on his bicycle
Friday afternoon, and when near Vim
ings, his wheel struck rock and threw
him off, striking the ground violently.
His right arm between the elbow and
shoulder was broken by the fall. He
managed to wheel to Smyrna, where
DR.. Pace set the broken limb. He re-
manned in Smyrna that night. The
accident will disable him for some time.
If the excellent exhibit made by
Cobb county at the State Fair doesn't
take the 900 premium for the best
county display, it won't be the fault of
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. G. Whitlock, for
they have worked faithfully to that
end. But there is no county exhibit
there, as far as our observation went.
that can equal it in variety and bulk.
Everybody nearly who saw the several
county exhibits say that Cobb is Justly
entitled to it
The fact that not more than fifty
colored voters have registered for the
city election on the 18th of December,
shows that they are not much inter-
ested in an election only when it is
scramble. A white primary on Novem-
Der 18th, by the registered voters,
places it out of the power of the col
ored voter to be much of a factor
Heretofore the ''brother in black" has
been the balance of power" in city
elections here, but now he will not be
in it.
Mr.. B. F. Lignon, fireman on an
engine on the w. & A. railroad, and
who lives in Atlanta, fell from his fast
moving engine at Elizabeth, near town,
on last Saturday night, and was con-
siderably bruised and painfully hurt.
He was brought to Marietta and re-
ceived treatment from DR.. Nolan.
Mr.. j. F. King, of Smyrna, brake
man, while coupling cars here Saturday
night on the w. & A. railroad, had his
right hand badly mashed, which made
it necessary to amputate the middle
finger. DR.. Nolan gave the needed at
tention.
The Synod of Georgia convened at
the Presbyterian church on "Wednesday
and will be in session until the 9Th.
On Thursday night a reception and
banquet will be rendered the ministers
and delegates in the parlors of the
Presbyterian lecture room, by the
members of the church.
On last Thursday Mr.. J D. Gantt's
gin came near being destroyed by fire.
"A flame was ignited from match and
some lint burnt very rapidly, but he
roic efforts were put forth and the fire
was extinguished and the gin and
large amount of cotton saved.
The remains of two Federal soldiers
were plowed up in field by one OF our
farmers the other day, so distinguished
by their brass buttons. They will be
reinterred in the National Cemetery
here.
