Rev. S. R. Belk was delighted with
his trip to Knoxville, He said to-day
that the scenery along the A. K. & N.
Railway was magnificent, everybody
ought to see it. He compared it to
some of the gorgeous scenery in the
Rocky Mountains. Mr.. Belk called on
Mr.. Newton, Mr.. Wallng, Mr.. Pome-
roy and the other Marietta men. He
was delighted with the kindness shown
him and his family while in Knoxville
by these railroad officials. He regrets
very much that the headquarters of
the road was transferred from our city.
Mr. Belk and family took in all the
sights in and around Knoxville. His
children were charmed with the noun
tain scenery, but all were glad to get
back to Marietta, There is no better
place to live than our own beautiful lit
tie city.

DO MODERN IMPROVEMENTS IN
PROVE?

A question which very many
will answer in the negative, when
they read daily in the papers of
the hundreds of accidents caused
by labor saving machines which
are manufactured in so mnch
greater number every year.
A clever writer in Life has put
the question introduced by re-
quest for statistics. rs it any
body's business he asks, "to
keep count of the number of per-
sons who are killed by accidents
from day to day in this country?
The number must be enormous,
and most of the victims die of
modern improvements of one kind
or another. Fatal trolley-car ac-
cidents are more common and
comprehensive this year than ever
before; railroads kill and MAIN
about as usual automobiles do
their share, and mines, factories,
fires, drowning accidents, gas ac-
cidents, explosions and the like
contribute with extraordinary
steadiness to our mortuary Stats
tics. In the industrial world,
especially, the sacrifice of human
life seems prodigious. Human
life is cheap, but cheap as it is,
American civilization seems I'M
duly lavish in expanding it.

SARCASTIC.

Under the heading "Mr. Wat
terson's Wall" the Atlanta Jour
nal without intending to reflect
upon former President Cleveland
recently made a very sarcastic but
truthful declaration concerning
that individual. The Journal
said:
"Mr. Cleveland is too wise in
his day and generation to be for
ever candidate. He has had all
there is in it, and had it twice
oftener than any other Democrat
since Appomattox. -
Presumably the Journal refers
to the actual office of president
when it says Cleveland has had it
'twice oftener than any other
Democrat since Appomattox. :"
There have been numerous Demo-
cratic presidential candidates since
that time one of whom Mr.. Bry-
am having been twice nominated.
Therefore Mr.. Cleveland who was
nominated three times has not
been a candidate twice oftener"
etc.
Without counting Cleveland no
Democrat has since Appomattox
held the office of president and as
twice nought is nothing no Demo-
crat has held that office since that
time. We believe the Journals
conclusion to be entirely correct.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
1t and set the matter right.

A MHANGE OF LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
A GOOD MOVE.

A GOOD MOVE.
That was q wise act of the CITY
council which offers as an induce
ment to the Seaboard Air Line
ailway to come through this place,
free right of way over the streets,
a lot for depot purposes and space
for sidings and the best efforts of
the couacil to secure a free right
of way through Cobb county for
this road, All Of these concess-
ions represent a great deal of
money which with ether advan-
tages offered by this place, such
as the large amonnt of business
it would give the road, ought GER
tainly to have an effect in the
selection of route for the new
line.
The Seaboard officials seem to
be laborlng under the impression
that it would lenghthen the road
to come by way of Marietta in.
stead of adopting the route recent
ly surveyed. The writer believes
that the line, if run through this
place would be as short or perhaps
shorter than that already run.
The distance from Marietta to the
store at Lost Mountain is called
ten miles. The store is STYLED
"the half way house" to Dallas
making Dallas twenty miles from
Marietta. The official railway
guide gives the distance by the
Southern railway from Dallas
to Rockmart as seventeen miles,
making the distance from Ma
rletta to Rockmart thirty-seven
miles. A surveyed railway line
from the Union depot in At
lanta to the depot in Marietta
is eighteen miles long. The Sea-
board junction is three miles this
side of Atlanta making it's dis
lance fifteen miles from Marietta
Therefore the distance from At
lanta, via Marietta, to Rockmart
is fifty-two miles. The surveyed
route for the new line via Upshaw,
Nlckajack and Powder Springs Is
fifty-one miles as published in the
Constitution q few months ago.
By not passing through Dallas
which is little off the direct lire
perhaps several miles could be
saved between Marietta and Rock
mart. Let the Seaboard engi-
neers run an experimental line
through our town and we believe
what we have stated Will be veri-
fled. The new road could use by
this route number of graded
miles of the old MaIietta and
Polk Slate Quarry railway.
If the Seaboard should come
this way it could, in order to
do as little damage as possible
to the streets and private
property, cross the w. & A.
obliquely little below Buffers
marble yard on the Atlanta road,
and run parallel with the w. & A.
till the brook which flows through
Mr.. Charles Guvton's property is
reached when it could follow this
water course, with very easy grades,
a very considerable distance to-
wards Lost Mountain. The depot
and sidings, in order to be near
the business part of the town,
could be near the bridge on NJ.
Guyton's property on Powder
Springs street. Or the line could
run through the Glover lanyard
property following the brook. and
crossing Powder Spring street at
the cemetery with the Depot on
the Bradley property near DR..
Sam Mozleys, and continue to
Lost Mountain over land not now
occupied by houses.

OUR TRIP TO OLD KENNEsAw.

The sun had feebly risen
From behind the hills in the east,
| Before we arose from slumber
And finished our morning feast
But when the rumbling mail train
On the landscape was but flaw.
We had driven 'Katydid" and Pet
To the foot of old kennesaw.
There we tied the horses,
And started at once to climb
Up the rocky little pathways
That around the mountain twined:
l could have climbed much better
If my hands had been claw
To clutch to the rocks and trees
On the sides of old Kennesaw.
My collar was soon withered,
And crooked was my hat
My head was rather "dizzy,"
And my heart went "pit-a-pat."
We were having pretty warm time,
For Old Sol was shining without a flaw
When we, almost exhausted,
Reached the top of old Kennesaw.
We dropped in the shade OF a tree
And there gained little hope,
While we caught our breath again
And arranged our telescope,
Then as each of us took peep,
Many lovely sights we saw,
For we had splendid view
For miles around old Kennesaw.
We ate wild gaapes fresh from the vine
And, pray now don't be shocked,
We climbed the trees
Just to catch the breeZe,l
And carved our names on a rock,
But soon our fun had to end.
And twas time to start home, for
We had taken no picnic dinner
To- eat on old Kennesaw.
Our descent was rather sudden,
One foot would slip and the other slide,
Twas no easy task to keep on your feet
Coming down that mountain side.
We finally reached the bottom,
According to gravitation's law,
But [ think shall never
Forget our trip to old Kennesaw.
