But, upon my word, am forgetting
your chief question-yes, it is under
lined in your letter: Above all, tell
| me about your wife
"Old fellow, how shall l manage it
without boring you? You ask: is she
one of those slender, capricious, fanci-
full women you used to admire SO
much when we were in Berlin?'
mo, Wolf, no, She is not a
brunette; she is a blonde. with The
hair that Titan lived to paint. She is
tall, but-'swaying in the breeze like
| palm?' Oh, no. Rather like strong
young beech in her native woods She
would be called without fiattery a
handsome, stately woman. She has a
dainty round head, full face, with a
short, straight nose, red lips which
she often forgets to shut, and which
thus give her an expression of childish
wonder, and a pair of clear, greenish-
brown eyes-'Nixie's eyes,, people
call them. When shaded by the long,
dark lashes which curve upward, they
look as if there were unfathomable
depths in them. But, Wolf, you are
my Oldest and best friend; to you
will say that these unfathomable
depths are a delusion-it is only
shallow water.
L have been wondering for some
time how l shall get it off my pen-of
force Of character and intellect, Wolf
there is not the slightest vestige. I'm
fortunately | am forced to acknoWl
edge that-she is an utter nonentity.
Il will give you an instance of it.
On our wedding journey we went to
HARLEM, her mothers birthplace.
Antje was radiant at having found out
by the description the gabled old
house in the market-place in which
the worthy lady first saw the light of
day. She wanted to go straight in and
ask the good people who were eating
their dinner, to let her go through all
the rooms. I was obliged to use all
my powers Of persuasion to get her
away, and at last said: Come, child,
| am aching to get to Franz Halls.
She looked at me with wide-open
mouth Franz Hals?' she said at
length. Who is he? Where does he
live? I did not know you knew any
body here. Leo
II cannot tell you what I felt at that
moment, Wolf! 1 said to myself: And
this is an artists wife-my wife, /
believe I was angry. l told her she
ought to be ashamed Of her ignorance;
! said l could not comprehend how it
was possible that she had never heard
the name of one of the most celebrated
of the Dutch painters, she who had
Dutch blood in her veins! She follow
ed me in abashed silence, and duti-
fully stood with me before those
wonderful pictures, without saying a
word, only afterward she asked ME
shyly if those pictures were really so |

WINS AGAIN.

Mr.. John A. Manget, o. Cobb county
who won the best agricultural display
at the Omaha Exposition, has also won
the Gold medal at the Pan American
Exposition at Buffalo, N. Y, as the
following from the Atlanta Constitu
tion states:
The agricultural exhibit was very
interesting one. 1t was composed of
the products of 25-acre one-plow
farm at Marietta, the property of John
A. Manget. The exhibit included ia
different products, among which was
everything that can possibly be raised
an this country. The exhibit was got
together by Mr.. Manget with the aid
of Professor Yeates almost at the last
anoment and shipped to Buffalo. 1t
occupied 200 square feet of space in the
agricultural building
This is the second time in the last
few years that Mr.. Msnget has won a
gold medal on n collective exhibit of
the products of his 25 acre farm. The
last one was awarded him at the Omaha
Exposition two or three years ago. He
cultivates certain products with a
view to exhibiting them and always
makes an excellent showing.
The gem case from Georgia contain
ing specimens of Georgia diamonds,
gold nuggets and ores was awarded
only bronze medal while one from
North Carolina took the gold medal.
But Georgia's exhibit of minerals, as
we'll as her collection of building stones,
both we're given silver medals.
Mr.. Manget has proved valuable
citizen to our county and has done
more to advertise our agricultural
possibilities and resources than anyone
an it. He deserves the thanks of our
people for the energy and enterprise
ne has displayed. His exhibit at the
Anter State Fair in Atlanta will also
sell the tale.

The magnificent exhibit that Cobb

Atlanta is generally conceded to be the
winner for the best county display, al
though there are exhibits there from
Barlow, Floyd, Henry, Dodge, Camden
and Worth. Messrs. J. Gid Morris, J.
NJ Cogburn and J. A. Manget have
proved energetic in their work in get
ting up and arranging this display.
There are five contestants for the best
individual display, and Mr., Mccormick,
of Barlow county, has about conceded
to Cobb the best county display and is
making an herculean effort to take from
Mr.. Manget the best individual display.
The many friends of Mr.. Manget hope
his meritorious display will win as it
deserves

THE LECTURE.

The lecture by Hon. G. A. Gearhart
at the Peoples Theatre on last Thurs
day evening, while not largely attended
owing to short notice of his coming,
yet had fairly good audience of some
of our best people, who evidently were
highly pleased. Mr.. Gearhart was in
troduced by Prof. Homer Handy. The
lecture, 1.-The Coming Man, was SUBJ
ject of infinite resources, and was most
admirably handled by this superb
speaker. While he is not as hashy and
fiowery as Bob Taylor, yet he has in his
lecture more solid, sound sense and true
philosophy of life. The lecture sparkled
with brilliant gems of thought, cpl
grammatic and striking. We think it
is one OF the finest lectures delivered
in Marietta during all the Chautauqua
series and Lyceum presentations. Those
who did not avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to hear this eloquent and
learned speaker missed rare treat.
Mr.. Gearhart ia the second Vending,
judging him by the lecture he delivered
here. His style is chaste, his diction
pure and his thoughts grand. We trust
to have him in Marietta agairf.
In this connection we would urge
upon our citizens to cooperate with
Prof. George E. Nolan and Mr.. j. J.
Black in securing enough subscribers to
carry out the lyceum course. They
have at hand the very best material be-
fore the public. These entertainments
are worthy of your patronage. If the
requisite number of subscribers are Sc
cured, then the course will be at once
arranged and dates fixed, A season
ticket for two, $500; single tickets for
the season, $500. Those who attended
Mr.. Gearhart's lecture can have the
price deducted from the regular season
ticket. Help these gentlemen in :ac-
complishing this noble and worthy OBJ
ject, which will be of such intellectual
benefit to all.

ARM AMPUTATED,

Mr.. Clay Lassiter, who lives in Post
Oak district in this county, met with a
serious accident on last Thursday
morning While attending his cotton
gin his left arm was caught and drawn
into the fast revolving saws mangling
and decorating it terribly before the gin
could be stopped and relief given him.
His son, Leman, was at the gin at the
time and assisted his father to the house
and came Immediately to Marietta, a
distance of nine miles, to secure the
services of DR.. @. 7. Nolan and DR.. Gill
bert Tennent, who drove rapidly to Mr..
Lassiter's house. DR.. johnson was al
ready present trying to staunch the
flow of blood. DR.. Nolan, assisted by
Drs. Tennent and Johnson, amputated
the arm just above the elbow, and there
is good prospect of his recovery. This
accident is indeed to be regretted. Mr..
Lassiter is one of Cobb county's best
and most esteemed citizens and sue
cessful farmers.
