There was quite a stir down in
the little town of Smyrna few
days age. Two young men were
driving mule hitched to buggy
and as they approached the town
they commenced to holler very
loud, which is a violation of the
city ordinance. The marshal
arrested them, but they begged off
by telling him that they did not
know that it was against the rule,
so he turned them loose. And as
as soon as they were free from the
marshal, they drove around and
commenced to holler again. The
marshall arrested them again and
took hold of the mules bride.
The young men began to whip the
mule and they had a lively tussle
for awhile, i. but they escaped by
whipping the mule loose from the
marshal. Hold tighter next thine,
Joe.

Austell.

A nicely blessed, intelligent
looking woman, claiming to be
matron in the asylum at Milledge-
vile, stopped over at one of our
lead ing boarding houses a few
days ago. She borrowed a dollar
each from some of our good citi-
zens, and engaged another prom
lnent citizen to 60 to Atlanta,
sell two bales of cotton at ware
house there, and purchase num-
Der of useful articles with the
proceeds. The prominent citizen
failed to find the matron's two
bales of cotton, did not buy the
useful articles, but came back
minus expenses. On his arrival
i'll Austell, this same prominent
citizen learned that the matron
had failed to return the dollar to
the other good citizens, and had
left an unpaid board bill, and had
boarded train going west,
Walter II. Irwin has made glad
the hearts of his many friends by
moving with his popular and in
teresting family, from Atlanta to
Austell, with the intention of
making this his permanent home.
James Cureton has moved his
family from Moreland, Ga, to

A company of capitalist from
New York have found a very fine
quality of sulphuric acid on the
farm of Mr.. r. w. Perkerson one
and half miles from town, have
secured an option from Mr.. Perk-
erson, and have goodly number
OF hands getting out the valuable
ore. This movement, if success
full will add considerably to the
mineral interest of ou1 town and
county.
Cobb county should be proud of
Austell as a mineral water dis
trict, as Lithia water is now be-
ing shipped from this depot from
five different wells and Springs,
Mr.. E. w. Medlock is looking out
for others. The health giving
qualities of Austell Lithia water
has become National, and its
praises are being sung in every
direction.

few days, try our Lithia water,
and see if you can't get some new

AMERICUS GETS
STILL ANOTHER.
Third Bale of Cotton of the New Crop
Here.
THE QUALITY WAS EXCELLENT
And This Bale Also Sold For Ten Cents
1T Was Made By Peter Dowdle, a
Colored Farmer-Plenty OF Gotten
Open Here.

To Peter Dowdle, an industrious
colored farmer who lives mile or two
out from the city, is awarded the honor
of marketing the third cotton bale o!
the new crop received here. Dowdle
brought his bale in yesterday after
noon and stored 1t at l.. G.. Councils
warehouse. 1t was of good weight and
excellent quality, and was bought by
Mr.. J d. Tweedy, of the cotton firm
of Tweedy & White, for ten cents per
pound. No prettier new cotton is seen
this season than that marketed in
Americas already, and local buyers
have paid 10 cents for each bale. Cot
ton is opening rapidly on the farms
about Americus, and but for the rains,
general over the county, hundred
bales could easily have been marketed
in Americas by Saturday next Mr..
L. G. Council has dozen or more
bales open on his farm, he says, but
the laborers are too busy at other work
to stop and pick it. The season prom
ises to open up quite early this year.
