FOR A BETTER WIFEHOOD.

Rev. Herbert T. Foss, divine, in a
sermon on "Wifehood" spoke some
truths that are worth considering by
those who are about to embark on the
matrimonial sea. Among other things
DR.. Foss says:
1--WE are told that women are too
busy holding society conventions and
managing societies and pleading for
their rights to get married, but it is
worthy of note that very large share
of the women who are doing these
things are women who are pre-eminent-
ly faithful wives and scrupulous moth
ers. One reason why marriages are
few er is the fact that few young people
are not willing to begin their career
in homes as humble as were first occu-
pied by their fathers and mothers. The
men and women of the older genera
ton who have attained wealth and
position began at the foot of the lad
der and climbed its rlngs together
The young people of to-day too often
desire to begin at the top, ard unable
TO do that, will not begin at all.
In 'arge circles the home of the
past where the husband and wife and
the children gathered around the
tireside, read the few books and papers
available, play innocent games and
knew each other, is past Now the
husband goes to the club, the wife to
her whist party or both to the theatre,
while the children are left with hired
nurses. Oh, for the old home, founded
on love, with God and The bible in it 7"
The prerequisite of safe marriage is
love, and this is plant of slow growth.
Love springs out of the soil of acquaint-
ance, respect and admiration. Hence
four-hour or two-day courtships, such

TIE HOME NEWSPAPER.

The local newspaper should be found
in every home. No children should
grow up in ignorance who can be taught
20 appreciate the home paper. 1t is
said to be the stepping stone to intel
ligence in all those matters not learn
ed in books. Give your child foreign
paper, which contains not one word
about any place, person or thing which
they ever saw, or perhaps ever heard of
and how could you expect them to be
interested? But let them have the
home paper, and read of people that
they meetand places which are familiar,
and soon an interest is awakened which
increases with every weekly arrival of
the local paper. Thus habit of read
ing is formed, and those children will
read the newspapers Jail their lives and
become intelligent men and women. a
credit to their ancestors, strong in the
world as it is today

The Legislature.

The session of the legislature
is more than one half over, and so
far very little work has been accom-
plished, and the Atlanta depot bill is
yet to come up. Only one or two gen.
eral measures of any interest have beer
before the house. The dispensary bill
by Mr. Wright of Floyd, has passed the
house, the franchise bill, by Mr.. How
ard of DeKalb, has passed the house.
but has been killed by the senate. The
Australian ballot bill. by Mr.. Kelley
of Glascock, has been killed by the
house, but it will be reconsidered. The
bill by Mr.. Hitch, of Chatham, to tax
franchises was also killed, but has been
reconsidered The Blalock resolution
which seeks to appropriate part of the
public property fund for the payment
OF the interest of the public debt. The
bill by Mr.. Hall, of Bib. to have the
railroad commissioners elected by the
people. Colonel Joe has another bill,
which prevents railroad companies from
issuing passes to Estate officials. This
bill has been reported favorably by the
general judiciary committee. Then
there is pending before the house nu-
merous other general measures which
will have to be disposed of before the
sessions adjourns.

cused for cause and opened the Jury

An NEUROLOGICAL RARITY.

Years ago Capt. Motion told me that
upon the Etowah river, and few of
the creeks entering it, there was. occa-
sionally, to be seen water turkey:

diver. Last week ! saw man carry.
ing q live water chicken" as he called
it, TO Rome. Examining it, | found
webs upon each of its toes they did
not unite the toes, but were scolloped
at each joint and so arranged that the
webs would close as the feet were drawn
forward and expand when pressure was
brought upon them in swimming, max
ing complete web, as on goose or
duck. Will the Journals Roswell cor
espondent-or any Of the brothers
please inform its readers whether such
fowl has it's habitat upon the Chatta-
hoochee or any of its tributaries?
Would not specimens of so rare bird
be sought often by those forming cabi-
nets of curiosities? T. JEFPRIEs.

A GREAT HOUSE WARMING.

The most touching and beautiful
charity in this State is that being done
at the Georgia Industrial Home for un
fortunate children, near Macon. It's
success is a miracle. 1t will be thirty
three months old the 22nd of Novem-
Der and started without organized sup
port, wholly dependent upon private
benevolence and yet over 100 children
are now its happy inmates and they
represent over 40 counties and every
section of the State. The home is I'M
denominational and is the only institu-
ton ever founded in Georgia for the
specific relief of the children of desti-
tute parents-orphans of living parents.
The building, 200 acres of land, print
ing office, nice farm with improve
ments and stock, a collection of poul-
try, COWS, hogs, goats and over 100 chill
dren, including the helpers, constitute
the great plant and marks its wonder
full growth and success. A great house
warming at the home is arranged and
appointed for November % and the peo-
pie of Georgia are appealed to furnish
the warming. Winter is coming on,
your own house is warm, your children
have chance-help the little ones of
the Industrial Home to warm their
house. Send contributions of money
or goods with names of donors to Rev
w. r. Mumford, the founder and presi-
dent of this noble charity Macon, Ga.

more than any others on earth.

VERTICAL WRITING.

Vertical writing taught in the public
schools in Milwaukee, as it is in Mari
eta, is being discussed with view of
abandoning it as injurious to scholars.
One of the principals says: "The ma
jority of people favor the slant, and |
have yet to find a teacher who will say
there is freedom and grace in the YER
teal | fail to find one who is rapid in
itssuse. And when pedagogues cannot
write legibly in the old way they blame
it on the the system, and change it to
the vertical. The superintendent and
teachers use the slant; when they use
the vertical it is slow ana painful and
making individual letters. The school
desks are not suitable for the vertical
style of writing, for when child reach
es the bottom of a page, in writing, he
loses his arm rest; it is cramped and
unhealthy, and the child simply draws
the letters. Business men are opposed
to the system on account of it's slow
ness. Many Of the men in this build
ing learned the slant system in our
schools, and l do not see why we should
not teach n system the child will not
have to unlearn when he leaves school
The children in the upper grades do
not use it, and neither do the instruc-
tors "

4 MARIETTA GIRL GETS TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.

The following telegram tells of the
story of the good luck of Marietta
girl, who was born and raised in this
city and we'll known to many of our
people Her maiden name was Miss
Mary Fambrough, and has relatives
living in this city, now, Mr.. E. Z.
Dobbs, Mr.. III. O. Dobbs, ard Mr.. Max
lie Dobb,s are her first cousins. The
following is the news item;
New York. November 12.-The will
of William G. Cruger, who left an
estate of 100000 to his wife. Mary
Fambrough Cruger, to the exclusion of
his relatives, was admitted to probate
to-day
The will was contested by James
Pendleton Cruger, the surviving broth
er Of the testator, and number of
nephews end nieces, who allege that
Mr., Cruger vas incompetent to make
will and that he was unduly influence
ed by his wife. Mr. Cruger met his
wife in Australia fifteen years ago. He
was very i'll and she acted as his nurse
until he was restored to his health.
He then married her and they came to
this country. After a short residence
here they went abroad to live Mr.
Cruger brought an action for divorce
in France but it was never tried and
the couple sometimes afterwards be-
came reconciled.
Mr.. Cruger left $40 to his brother
James Pendleton Oruger, to each of
his brothers six children and to each
of the children of his diseased brother,
Eugene Guido Cruger, whose will was
also contested and still remains I'M
decided.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1901-11-21

as have been recently heralded ia
public prints, are extreme types of n
common peril.
The ease with which divorces are
obtained is often the reason of hastv
and illsortded marriages. Domestic
differences, not fatal to peace and hap
piness instead of being reconciled. are
taken to the divorce court, and
many homes which might, with little
mutual forbearance, have been happy
are broken up"

AN EGYPTIAN GIANT,

An Egyptian giant, Hassan Ali, is
now on exhibition in Boston, who seems
to be a genuine top-notcher, as he is 8
feet, , inches tall-two feet taller than
the usual tall man. He can walk through
crowd with his arms extended straight
out from the shoulder and men and
women pass under them without even
brushing the tops of their hats. His
hands are SO large that he can grasp
around an ordinary water pail as easily
us the average man picks up quart
cup. His shoes are % inches long and
suggest the possible truth of the story
of the old woman who lived in a Shoe
It has been suggested that rockers
placed on one of his shoes would make
a cradle that would easily accommodate
young baby. 1t is said that the Egyp-
tian speaks several languages, and En-
glish quite fuently.
