A gray horse hitched to a buggy,
driven by Hon. Geo. z. McElreath's
daughter created little excitement
on the streets Thursday afternoon by
running away. The young girl was do
ing her best in handling the lines to
stop the fast going animal, but her
strength was not equal to the emer-
gency. In passing across the railroad
track, Mr.. Simp Jackson jumped in be-
hind the buggy, climbed over the seat,
took the lines from the hands of the
young lady, and by herculean effort
stopped the horse.
On next Thursday, Goth inst, Gener-
al Clemant A. Evans, of Atlanta, will
deliver the Confederate Memorial ad-
dress at the Marietta Confederate Gem
etery. General Evans is one of the
few surviving generals of the late war,
and is revered By our people as noble
and gallant Confederate and Chris
tian gentleman. That he will have an
appropriate speech and an apprecia-
tive audience goes without saying
An exchange tells good truth in the
following: 1.-The man who forgets his
friends and panders to his enemies will
find in the end that he has no real
friends, and that the enemies he fa-
vored only despise him, and turn around
and laugh in his face. This is as true
in business as in politics. MT. Yer

tarded in prosperity, and it is almost
useless to talk about inauguratlng en-
terprises of an industrial and manufac-
turing character as long as such a state
of affairs exists.
Last Thursday night about 8 o'clock
the arc light on the Southeast part of

square.

Two negro women on Friday morning
had regular fisticuffs on Cherokee

satisfied.
