Mr.. Alex Moody, out in Merritt's
district, was shooting at squirrel in d
tree, the gun pointing almost perpen-
dicular. Both barrels fired at once
and the gun kicked violently down
ward, the hammer catching in Mr..
Moody's mouth. splitting his underlip
to the end of his chin and knocking five
teeth inward in a slanting position.
When DIR. Moore got ito him Moody's
lip was in frightfully mangled condi-
ton. The Doctor stitched and dressed
the wounds and he will soon be all
right again, but his mouth won't be as
kissable as it was
On Saturday night last, some thief
went to Mr.. }. Gid Morris slaughter
pen and with an axe knocked one OF
hogs in the head, threw it over the
wire fence, and then carried it to the
wire fence that encloses Judge Sessions
woods, threw ton the ground, pulled it
under the fence, and from that point
the tracings ceased, and Mr.. Morris
was unable to discover the hoggish
thief.
Mrs. H. A. Dunwody goes this week

A citizen of Marietta was in Atlanta
recently, and signaled newsboy for a
paper. He paid for it, but didn't open
it till he got on the train to return
home. On opening it he found it was
CINCINNATI Enquirer, instead of the
Atlanta Journal, dated June 3, 1871.
1t had 81 greenback folded inside.
Wonder how many more that newsboy
has of the same kind?
The schedules on the Western At
lantic K. R., are much complained of
as being very inconvenient for Mariet-
ia people. A number of our citizens
would like to go down, having business
to detain them only for an hour or so,
but they are compelled to while away
hours of unoccupied time before there
is return train. Can this state of at
fairs not be improved upon?
