ACWORTH.
How Our NeighbOr Town Got Its Name
as Told by the Post.

We have often been asked the ques-
ton for what or for whom our city was
named. After diligent search, we are
now able to answer.
Acworth up to l845 was called North
cults station, for Mr. Alexander North
cult, grandfather of Col. J. J. North
cult, who conducted very important
stage coach inn here on the lot on which
now stands the beautiful home and
lawn of Mrs. o. H. Humphris and Mr..
]. n. Johnson's residence near the N. &
c.. and L. & N. station. In the year
1845, Mr.. L. G. Acworth, from Philadel-
phia, head engineer and surveyor, while
surveying for the Western & Atlantic
railroad, the first railway Of the state,
owned then as now by the state of
Georgia, made this place his headquar-
tiers. In this year, 1845, he changed the
name of this place to Acworth. Mr..
Acworth also gave Allatoona its name,
naming it after Allatoona creek, which
was so called by the tribe of Cherokee
Indians before the settlement by the
whites. -Acworth Post.

THE WONDER WHY.

The editor of local paper is often
unjustly censured for his mistakes. The
wonder is that he does not make more
of them. On the average paper he must
deal with all kinds of subjects, give the
names, dates, etc. One hour he may
be engaged in reporting q religious
meeting and the next drawing the pic
cure of fight He must condense and
fill with his items several columns,
whether events are Transporting to throw
up material for his use or not Count
the local items in paper and imagine
how many steps they have required
how much mental anxiety, weary and
work they have cost, and some idea OF
the editors work can be gathered. The
smallest may have cost him long
walk and much effort to reach the facts.
There is no end to his work. When
ono paper goes to press he turns his at
tention to the next one He makes the
rounds in search ofsnews end may not
get line. He may labor for hours in
chasing down q rumor only to find that
there is nothing in it. His local col
nuns stare him in the face and demand
to be filled, not with skim milk, but
with cream of the news events and mat
tiers of interest His bounds are limit
ed, and yet he must find in each day
and all through the week, month and
year something of interest to the pub
lie. No more perfect treadmill could
be devised. With such constant
strain, producing WEAKNESS OF the body
and mind and an almost endless variety
of subjects to be touched upon, is i
surprising that he should occasionally
make mistake? Other people do, WHY
shouldn't an editor?

GETTING INTO COMMUNICATION.

Hancock county has taken a step in
the direction of progress which others
will do we'll to employ as a pattern.
Instigated by the enterprising citi-
zens of Sparta, there has been set in
motion project which will soon put q
telephone into practically every farm
house in Hancock.
Realizing the Importance, not only to
the farmers, but to the business inter-
ests of Sparta, of such system Of COM
munication, covering practically the
entire county, Sparta business men
raised a fund for the purpose OF build
ing rural telephone lines and bringing
them into connection with the city
system,
From this fund approximately half Of
the expense of constructing the lines
will be paid, the farmers paying the
other half and cost of installing their
telephones.
1t is, therefore, purely local enter
prise, which has for its object inter-
communication of the entire county in
general, and centralizing the county g
business at the county seat in particu-
lar.
Both the citizens of Sparta and the
/ farmers Of Hancock are making a good
investment; the farming interests will
do their trading at home, instead of
going into the adjoining county
But aside from that, the people of the
whole county will be brought, socially
and commercially, into closer harmony
and unity. They will have at hand
means of rapid communication, not only
among themselves, but with the out
side world.
The value OF the rural telephone ia
not problematic; it has been demon
strated, and its proven worth is vastly
more than its small cost.
Hancock county has gone about 1T in
the right way.
1t will result not only in material Hd
vantage to the individual citizens Of the
county, but in broadening of view and
Of sphere of activity which are impor-
tant community assets.
There should be no county in the
state without Its rural telephone SER
vice.
1t is not only an indication of progress
but it is positive factor in continued
advancement and growth Atlanta

DIR. ELLENWOOD'S CHURCH SCENE
OF BRILLIANT DANCE.

Atlanta, Ga, June IA dance
il a church was the unusual form
of entertainment that Atlantans
had offered them last night. This
povel social event, which met with
the full approval of the pastor,
was held in the basement of the
First Universalist church, i'll an
apartment used by the young peo-
pie as a club room.
The Rev. DR.. E. D. Fleetwood.
the shepherd of the flock, is very
liberal in his views. He regards
dancing az a harmless form of
amusement ard healthful exer-
else. He thinks that such enter
tainments should be held under
the auspices of the church, where
the young people can be safely
guarded against the vicious inhu-
ences that sometimes surround
them and bring them into disre-
pute.
1t is the intention of the young
peoples club TO fit up a stage i'll
their room at the church for the
presentation Of amateur theatrical
performances This movement is
also meeting with the approval Of
Dr.. Fleetwood.

PORKERS IN HARNESS.
From the Triton Gazette J

Daniel Walker, the n an of big
hog fame, is fixing up al unusual
exhibition for Triton, on the last
Saturday in June.
He has one mammoth hog, weigh
ing 1000 pounds, and another
equally as large but not quite so
fat, and he is training them to
work in harness.
One Of his hogs will carry three
men at one time, and he hitched
the two together this week. One
of them worked all right, but the
other was disposed to get angry
and cut up a little bit.
He hopes to have them both
we'll broken by the time he brings
them to rifton, and will work
them in harness. He is at present
working them in pillow gear.

 Captain J. Mikkelborg, the Norwegian colonizer who has been in the vicinity of Cordova recently, expresses himself as well content with the result of his Investigations so far. He says that 100 families are pre- pared to leave Norway direct for Alaska upon favorable report from him. He desires to be con- servatiye, however, and will not send for his people until he has investigated the country to the west and the interior. Most of his people are farmers who wish to settle permanently, and he is therefore looking particularly for agricultural lands, preferably ad- iacent to mines.

Out In the Rain.

The Indian fairly revels in rain, de-
clares G. w. James In his book, What
the White Race May Learn from the
Indian" Indian women no more mind
the rain than they do that the sun
should shine or the wind blow, and as
for any evil effect from the wet, there
are no signs Of ii.
In the first place. they have no fear
OF the rain. 1t is not constantly IA
stilled into their minds from childhood
that they mustn't get wet, or they'll
take cold This has something to 90
with 1t.
In the second place, they move about
with natural activity in the rain as ut
other times. This keeps the blood cir
culating and prevents any lowering Of
the temperature of the body.
In the third place. their general out
door life gives them such a robustness
that II there is any tax upon the sys.
TEN 1t Is fully ready to meet it
Everything in nature loves to be out

has some distinctive characteristics. IL
Is taller than others of its kind, and
has a larger and squarer snout. 1t Is
more decidedly herbivorous. One OF
it's two horns is sometimes dwarfed or
wanting, which gave rise. as early as

horned species OF rhinoceros. Besides
all this, the skin is closely covered
