three miles out, an unknown man sud
denly stepped from the roadside
grasped the reins of the horse anC
brought the animal to standstill. l
had been raining and was very dark
! Mr.. Carnes accOsted the man as to hi
| suspicious and bold action and deman
ded to know what he meant, but the
man gave no reply. Mr.. Carnes got hi
| pistol into position and attempted tC
get bead on the highwayman, but
! divining his intentions, the fellow would
| step from one side of the horse to the
other, thus foiling his aim and purpose
Mr.. Carnes then jumped out of the
buggy, when the fellow split for the
woods. A flash of lightning about this
time revealed the form of the person
| showing that he was either white man
or mulatto. Mr.. Carnes fired q
couple of shots at the fleeing highway
man, but there was no indication that
his workmanship was true. Having to
hold the reins of the horse to keep him
from running away he didn't have an
opportunity to pursue the villain.
The peach crop will put good deal
of ready cash in circulation. The
hiring of hands to pick and to box, the
hiring of teams to haul to the depot and
the Shipping, all cost money, and Ma
rietta will be the beneficiary in trade
A large number of peach-buyers are
here and they two will spend money at
hotels, and livery stables. All such in
dustries are the life of a community
and we hope other orchards will be set
out and the fruit production double
and thrible.
A very recherche entertainment was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel K Dick
on last Thursday evening at Black s
Opera House, complimentary to visit
ing young ladies, Misses Porter, of
Houston, Texas. The Fifth Regiment
orchestra, of Atlanta, furnished the
music. Dancing was kept up for sew
eral hours, conducted by Prof. r. L.
Northcutt. Refreshments in abun-
bance were served and the occasion
proved delightful to those present.
Mr.. w. E. Gilbert, who is sick with
typhoid fever, is not doing so we'll. He
had Doctors Reynolds and Tennent
both with him Tuesday night. His
heart being involved there is some
grave apprehension as to the result.
He is one of Marietta's best and most
esteemed citizens and the prayers of
our Christian people is for his recov-
cry.
In intiicting upon China adequate
punishment for her crime against civili-
cation, the civilized powers should not
be actuated by the spirit of revenge.
Christians should exemplify to heath
ems higher excellence than to punish
through revenge. The good of human
ity and permanent peace should be
sought, and the Chinaman made sensi
BILE of that fact.
That was a happy crowd of Sunday
school children and teachers at DIR.
Rambo's residence Thursday afternoon.
1t was peach picnic and the genial
Doctor was just as happy as he could
be in seeing Others enjoying themselves.
Great piles of peaches were spread out
for all present.
