STRANGE BIRD FROM THE SEA
CAUGHT ON BLACKJACK NTH

Mr.. T. H. LEROY, who lives near the
Marietta Camp Ground, and Mr.. j. s
Hicks, one of his neighbors, brought
with them when they came to the city
Saturday, quite a curiosity for these
parts in sea bird which Mr.. LEROY
captured on Blackjack mountain Fri
day morning. 1t was about the size OF
a duck, of dark dove color, with very
short tail and white beak Several
Mariettans, familiar with fowls of the
salt marsh, said it was "coot, and
the dictionary pictures seemed to bear
them out.
The bird was doubtless blown in.

up the coast from Cuba

ing he was walking along the road,
when he saw the bird snuggled up
against the warm side of a log. 1t
was probably benumbed by the cold.
Approaching from the opposite side
of the log, Mr. LEROY had no difficulty

SUNDAY MORNING
SHOOTING ARRAY.
Two Citizens at Outs, and
Pistol is Brought Into
Play.

The unusual quiet of Church Street
was disturbed early Sunday morning
by three pistol shots fired from a
weapon in the hands of John Dobbs.
His target was the person of John
Duncan, but all three shots went
wild, and Duncan escaped injury.
The two men had engaged in a
hand-to-hand fight, and it is stated
by Duncan's friends the gun was used
after this, while Dobbs' friends con-
tend it was to defend himself against
metal knucks that he fred the shots.
Mr.. Duncan is a former resident of
Marietta, but recently moved to Fair
burn, where he conducted a marble
shop. A son of Mr.. Dobbs was en-
ployed by him until short time ago,
but, it is said, was discharged.
Mr.. Duncan made visit to his old
home Sunday, and while here met
Mr.. John Dobbs, and controversy
arose between them in regard to the
discharge of the young man, and it
was then the two men came to blows,
followed by the shooting.

THE EASIEST WAY TO COOK.

Mrs. Helen Armstrong, who is dem
onstrating the art of cooking in the
Anditorium-Armory in Atlanta, de
cared, at a recent lesson, that she
would not cook except on a gas stove.
That was her way of acknowledging
which is the best and easiest way to
cook. There is also second best
way to cook, which is with kerosene
oil. Everybody outside the big cities
should have an oil stove with one
burner at least. Any housekeeper can
think of many things it would be use
full for. For boiling beef and other
roasts, to make jelly, soup-stock or
hash; to stew fruit, heat irons, water
or anything that needs to be heated
in place where there is no wood or
coal stove.
What | said last summer | repeat
today, that an oil stove with steam
cooker is treasure indeed in places
where there is no gas. What a gas
range is in town, an oil stove is in the
country. A l.. C.

The Gainesville Fire.

The fire in Cartersville's new opera
house two weeks since was not so Sc
rious as at first reported The repairs
to the building were completed in time
for the meeting of the Daughters of the
Confederacy last week.
Some damage was done to the stock
of goods of Mr.. H. A. Ward, mostly
by water. Because of this, Mr.. Ward
Hpegan on Friday fire sale of all these
goods, and for two days the sales
amounted to three thousand and three
hundred dollars.

The Weather and the Crops

The effect of the cold weather the
past week upon the cotton crop is some
what problematical Ordinarily, it
causes the immature bolls to stop
growing, but, with those already ma
tured, it will cause them to open.
There is, however, on account of the
dry weather the past summer, very
short crop of top cotton, and it is not
believed a great deal of damage has
been done by the early cold spell.

Fire Alarm Monday Morning,


The efficiency of the chemical en-
CINE and Marietta's improved fire
fighting apparatus was fully demon
strated when the department was
called to the residence of DR.. Field, on
Whitlock Avenue. In a very few
minutes after the alarm was sent, the
department was on the ground, when
the fire was discovered between the
ceiling and the roof Removing a
few shingles, the hose from the chem
icai engine was inserted and the fire
extinguished at once The loss is
only few doilars-just enough to
pay for few shingles and have them
put on.

Fine Cotton Display.

A few stalks of cotton placed in the
band-stand in the city park has at
tracted great deal of attention. Eve
ry boil is open, and some of the stalks
have more than a hundred bolls.
When visitors have been asked how
many bales to the acre such cotton
would produce, the guesses have
ranged all the way from two bales to
fifteen. These plants were exhibited
by Mr.. H. B. Wade at the coun fair

Barrels OF Bottles.

Think of forty-eight barrels of bot
ties in one lot-but they were empty.
Watkins & Son had purchased the
bottles along at different times, and
had sold them in Atlanta. 1t must
not be supposed all had contained
whiskey, for they were OF all kinds and
sizes, and had been used for all pur-
poses for which bottles are used.

Little Cotton Being Marketed

But few bales of cotton have been
seen on the streets of Marietta the
past two weeks. Whether the farmers
are holding back for advance in
prices, or are too busy gathering the
staple, is not known. While a large
part OF the crop has been gathered and
ginned, but very small portion has
been offered for sale.

FARLEY STILL

That Philip J. Farley lost his life

lev who was a clerk IN the county
trcasurer's office, rOomed at s42ih
Western av.
The man occupying the room next
to Farley's heard Farley enter a
short time before the fire. Since
then no trace has been found OF him.
Farley was a man Of precise habits,
and was never known 10 be absent
from the county treasurer's office
during working hours. He was a
daily visitor at the Palace hotel, but
nothing has been seen Of him since
the fire.
Friends declare that his absence
can only be explained by the suppo-
sition that the flames caught him
asleep. The ruins are being search
ed for his remains
