The other day a Marietta citizen was
discussing with his wife the numerous
cats lnfesting his premises, eating his
chickens and otherwise proving a NUS
ance, and he remarked that he we go
ing to shoot some of them. About that
tune he heard his little girl in the yard
scream. This was caused by the negro
WriDging the neck of chicken and the
chicken struck the little girl, the blood
squirting on her. When the aforesaid
citizen heard the screams of his little
girl, he became alarmed and said,
There is that cat now" He grabbed
his pistol and ran out doors to shoot
the cat The negro boy, seeing the
citizen with pistol, became frightened
also and thought the father Of the little
girl was going to kill him, and he began
to plead with him, not to shoot him;
that he didn't go to throw the chicken
on the little girl; he didn't mean to
hurt her. The father began laughing,
and exclaimed, "You fool, niger, I
didn't come out here to shoot you, but
the cat" This was a great relief to
the negro boy.

The influence Of newspaper advertis-
!, ing is wonderful. It turns the tide Of
business towards the advertised store
