carried the WhlskSy IN ms pocket ana
sold it, and had no place of business,
but Holmes kept the vile stuff at his
home and dished it out. They were
| tried before Mayor Brumby on last
Saturday night. Baldwin was bound
over to Cobb Supreme court and was
placed in Jail. Holmes was fined $40
and cost. He appealed to the city
council, and that body gave him
hearing on Monday night and increased
the fine to $50, and instructed the
marshal when Holmes had paid iii work
or money to turn him over to the
| sheriff.
Mr.. E. NJ. Matthew'S, secretary of the
Laurens Is. O. Cotton Mills was in the
city this week trying to ascertain what
our people will do towards building
cotton mill in Marietta. He is an ex-
perienced cotton mill man and with
his own means and that of friends is
disposed to build mill here if our
people will literally subscribe to the
stock He has fine recommendations
and as manager of the mill would bring
an experience that would be invalu-
able. He is willing otput in $4,000 if
our citizens will put in an equal
amount. If they don't do it he will go
elsewhere. We hope something will be
done at once. Now is the time to act.
Our Board of Trade should make a
move.

DIED.-One of the twin girls of Mr..
and Mrs. H. B. Moss died on last Mon

readers.
About $500 negroes have left Morgan
and Greene counties, Ca, for Missis-
sippi cotton fields. They were induced
to emigrate by Peg-Leg Williams, who
is now in jail in Morgan county, for
soliciting emigrants without paying the
$500 state license. Williams ought to
be allowed to operate in towns and
cities without license, for the towns are
overcrowded now with negroes.
The farmer who plants big crop Of
cotton this year with the expectation
OF getting seven and eight cents a
pound for it, will be woefully disap-
pointed. All the farmers are going to
plant cotton this year, and consequent
ly big crop will be made. Unless the
southern mills can buy most of the
crop, then the price will be low Make
plenty of hog and hominy. potatoes
and peas, and you will do well.
There are large quantities of eggs
shipped over the A. K. & n. railroad to
Atlanta. 1t is said Tennessee furnishes
Atlanta three-fourths of her eggs.
Poultry raisingis remunerative to those
engaged in it, and we see no good
reason why our Cobb county people
should not extensively engage in the
industry. Chickens and eggs always
find ready sale at good prices.

cy last Monday before Mayor Brumby

disorderly, was tried Monday before
