pressing demands for goods" The
best thing to adopt is the cash system
as far as practicable. John Randolph
said, PAY as you CO." and some mod
ern philosopher has added, IF you
can't pay, don't go. Those who keep
out of debt will fear no dun, for they
will owe no one. They will not have to
dodge meeting angry creditors. They
will feel easier and keep heap of
trouble out of the family. Debt is q
hard taskmaster. Don't serve him.

The A. K. & N. Railroad officials
have made arrangements with the w.
& A. Railroad to jointly use their new
passenger depot, at this place, the sale
of tickets and handling of baggage
being done by the w. & A. Railway
officials. A connecting track has been
built and the A. K. & N. will use
the first track in front of the passenger
! depot. Thus the two roads will have
union depot which will be more con-
venient and satisfactory to the travel
ing public.
The peaches in some orchards are
through and scorched the blooms In
other orchards there are not more than
twenty-five per cent killed. If no
freeze or frost comes from now on,
there will be plenty of peaches in this
section, which will be a source of
wealth to the owners. People are
peach hungry in this section, as the
crop was total failure last year.
A we'll known colored man Friday
morning was standing at the post office
talking to another negro man, and he
remarked out loud: "Yonder comes a
new negro woman. 1t looks like they
come walking into this town every
night. Wonder where they all come
! from p There is no mistake, the town
is full of colored people. How some of
them get bread to eat and places to
sleep is puzzle. There must be suf-
| fering among them.
A negro, named George Roberts,
stole horse belonging to Mr.. A. r.
Fowler, in Gritter district, Wednesday
night of last week, andl rode him to At
lanta, where he sold him. The police
of Atlanta were notified and they ar
rested the thief. Deputy Sheriff An
derson brought the negro back to Ma
rietta on Thursday, and he was placed
in jail.
With the opening of spring, comes
that cheering inspiration of good
weather, sunshine, flowers, and sing
ing birds, that truly makes this land
worth living in. Nature has done her
part in adding to mans happiness, and
it devolves upon him to do his. The
world is what we make it.
Mr.. VIII Mckinney is home from
| Virginia to recuperate his health He
recently had a surgical operation per-
formed, and the doctors found one of
the bullets shot in him by negro
tramp who was put off his train, and
whom he killed in self-defense.
The statement of Mr.. Geo. B. Nigh,
last week, that 70 per cent of the
peaches we're killed, and SO per cent on
forward trees, would still leave 900
peaches to tree, according to peach
culture arithmetic. That wouldn't be
bad. There will be peaches yet, you
bet.
Self-control under the most provok-
ing circumstances shows strength OF
character that is admirable. It's a
power that will make happiness and
aid development Of ones attributes to
do right and triumph over passion and
temper.
