1t can be secured for Cobb county. SEN
ator Clay and Judge Maddox will no
doubt do what they can or this line.
One OF the government requirements is
that the road on any route shall be
maintained in first class condition.
hence the adoption would be both n
convenience for those along the line and
a benefit to the county. Free mail and
| good public roads would prove blessings.
! Mr.. Robert NJ. Lynn and bride, Of
Richmond, Va@ are visiting Mr.. and
Mrs. II. L. Hutchinson in this city.
Mrs. Lynn will be remembered as Miss
Mabel Hancock, niece of Mrs, Hutch
inson, who was here on visit several
years ago. Mr.. Lynn is city editor of
the Richmond Daily Dispatch, one of
the best papers in Virginia. We trust
their visit to our city may prove pleas
ant.
Advertising ought to be figured in
every business like clerk hire or rent.
| The more business the more clerks.
The better the stand the higher rent.
The enterprising merchant, if he can
get returns for it, would cheerfully
double the number of his clerks and
frequently as business proposition
moves his stock into a stand that costs
twice as much rent. SO it ought to be
| in advertising-not what it costs, but
what it gets-what it pays.
An alarm of fire sounded on Friday
morning about seven O'Clock. A tene-
ment house, occupied by acolored fam
lily named Hill, was on fire in the roof.
The lire department responded prompt
ly and laid line of hose from Powder
Springs street, but as the blaze on the
roof was small one, the fire was soon
extinguished by bucket of water. The
damage was of little consequence.

Cotton crop guesses are now in or
der, and two experts" already
have trieu their hand, Mr.. Buston
places the number Of bales at 10, 75O, 600
while Mr.. Neill says II 100000. Other
guessers of lesser note than these have
predicted from 100000 to 1880, 600
1t seems that there is tendency with
| all guessers to make the present crop
larger than that of last year, notwith-
standing the repeatedly reported short
crop in Texas and other states.
They had three cornered fight in
Macon last week for Mayor. The can
didates were Bridges Smith, the present
Mayor, Mr.. Hazlehurst and Mr.. Nor
gan. 1t was good humored, but hot
from start to finish Smith won. He
is an old newspaper man and deserved
the honor. He is pledged to retrench-
ment and reform.
There are a very large number of
divorce cases in Cobb Superior Court
| asking a severance of the tie that's
binds. There is growing sentiment in
this country to make it difficult mat
ter to get divorces. But no good wo-
man ought to be tied to drunken wife
beaten, and who won't work and sup
port her.
Men who drink whisky have hard
battle for success against the men who

the habit of drinking.
