ONE WAY TO BUILD UP YOUR TOWN. i
Tur way to build up a town is to never<
slight an opporturity to say & kind word
for it. Always speak well of its people, iu‘;
institutions-apd ite various.enterprises, and
be sure to give them your patronage and
support, Den’t..s nd cz other towns to
buy goods 'w,)e§ 3\l ) ?fi?\_'ue them
equally as_cheap from your "home mer
chants. Should you become involved in
litagation, don't go elsewhere to engage the
services of an attorney, simply because he
charges you fancy prices for his services
the only thing by which you may judge of
his ability, for the chances are ten to one
that you bave far better talent at home,
among a class of men with whom you are
acquainted, and who very naturally feel a
much deeper interest in your welfare than
a stranger would, and who will work hard
er for your interest, for surely he wishes to
deserve your future patronage.
If you have manufacturers in your town
that make any article that you use or con
sume, then buy it of them, remembering
that every dollar you spend at home gives
you a chance to get some of it back again.
So you will perceive that even aside from
duty and the interest you may feel in your
town, that as a matter of policy it will pay
you to patronize home industries. Never
send oft any money when you can possibly
avoid it, for when you do, you place it be
yondfyour reach to ever recover it again.
But if you spend it at home the chancesare
that it will find its way back into your
pockets again after a while or some of it
at least. '
Don't fail to liberally patronize your
home papers, for itis to them that you
must look to advocate measures that tend
to build up and beautify your town, and it‘
is to them tha! your town, and people must
look for a defense when either is unjustly ‘
assailed. Your home paper is ever sound
ing the praises of your town. It slightsno
opportunity to say a good word forit. It ‘
is always here upholding right in its battle
against the wrong, and to protect the weak
against the ‘oppressions of the strong. ‘
If you are a citizen subscribe for it, and
if you are engaged in business advertise in
it=—it is worthy of all the help that you can
give it, and will pay you back a profit for
all'that you may invest in it. -
And last, but not least, we say that every
man that is in your midst, who is engaged
in a legitimate and honest enterp: 8¢ .'!]
to him, unstinted your warmest sgmpat
and your kindest support whenever and
where ever it lies in your power to do 80. W
Never join in with the rabble that would
run down your town or say unkind ‘things
about it or its people. Shun as you would
the leper the man who tries to build up his
business by uttering W‘D&D?N
misrepresentations about his neighbor ;. for
the business that cannot live upon its own
merits, and cannot stand the honest rival
ry in business, is unworthy to live, nor has
it any right to make the publica partner
in & matter in which it has no interest in
its nefarous design tc injure another. |
Such an enterprise would injure the public
with the same imvunity that it would an
individual when the time comes when it
answered its ends to do so, it matters not
how shrewd the pretext the motive is the
same. So do what you can to aid all en
terprises that will help your town and all
who honestly and legitimately labor in your
midst. They are worthy of your help, anp
will in the end help. This line of policy
cannot be objected to by any good citizen,
and must result in much good if followed.

Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thing has ogsed such a
general revival ot trade at J. D. Malone’s
Drug Store as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles of
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion. Their trade is simply enormous in
this very valuable article from the fact that
it always cures and never disappoints
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croulp
and all throat and lung diseases quickly
cured. You can test it before buying by
getting a trial bottle free, large size $l.
Every bottle warranted.

“Now good digestion wait on appetite,

happy condition of the mind and body is
brought about by the timel{ use of Prickly
Ash Bitters. While not a beverage in any
sense, it possesses the wonderful faculty of

elements required to rebuild .and make
strong. If you are troubled with a head
ache, diseased liver, kidneys .or bowels,
give it a trial, 1t will not fail you.

Martin, one of Eatonton’s most
beautiful young ladies, on the 18th
of this month and was on a visit to

A KNITTING FACTORY
Being Ruilt Near Marietta on a Val
uable Water Power. |
- Mg W. L. Baryes has commenced work
on his knitting factory at his place two
ymiles from town. He has a splendid wa
ter power, good dams and race. The old
‘mill building has been torn away, and a
new four story building is being erected
in which to put the machinery for the knit
ting factory. The first story will be rock,
while the other stories will be frame, sub
stantially constructed and well arranged
for the purpose for which the building is
to be used. Mr, Barnes has fully investi
gated the various systems of knitting fac
tories and believes one will pay here, and
to that end he is devoting his energies and
money. It is these small industries that
build up communities: and counties and
the more we can have, the better. We
urge our people to put their money in fac~
tories if they would grow rich. It is these
tkat have made the North rich and power
ful, and we have too long neglected them.

HE CHOSE WHIPPING.
George Nelson, a colored youth about
15 or 16 years old, slipped behind Mr. C.
C. Kiser's counter the other day and stole
a cravat and scart pin. He sold the same
to Jim Julian, colored, who wore the }
same last Sunday. Julian was questioned
as to how and from whom he got the scarf
and pin, and said he paid Nelson 35 cents
for them. He hunted up Nelson and made
Him bring the stolen articles back to Mr.
Kiser. Nelson begged hard not to be
prosecuted, and said he would never do so
again and would be willing to take a
whipping. Mr. Kiser refused to adminis
ter the flogging, so the boy got another
negro boy, Lee Conwell, to do the whip
ping. A buggy whip was obtained at
Capt. Wilson's store, and the negro boys
went down into the cellar of Mr. Kiser's
store, and in the presence of a few wit
nesses, Conwell, as per request, laid the
whip on Nelson until it was concluded he
had enough for his misconduct,
‘A MARIETTA MERCHANT’S STORY.
- O~E of our merchants tells a good story
‘as to how he sold a second hand coat that
‘had been worn but a few times. He had
repeatedly tried to sell the coat to differ
ent colored men, but always failed. So he
tried a new scheme. He got a cheap
pocket book and stuffed it generously with
paper and put the book in oneof the
pockets of thz coat. He accosted a negro
'man and wanted to sell him the coat. The
“‘colored gemmen” said he didn't desire to
buy the coat. ‘“Yes, but you just try it
on. It belongs to a man who has plenty
of money but has no use for the coat.”
The negro put the coat on, put his hands
in the pockets and, of course, he felt the
tat pocket book. - His eyes fairly dilated
with an astonished but pleased expression.
“Boss,” he enquired, “what do you ax for
dis coat?’ “Three dollars and fifty cents.”
“T takes it, boss!”’ and with a satisfied air
of a man who had just come into the pos
gession of a fortume, the darky took the
coat and went on his way rejoicing.

STILL IMPROVING.
A Bright Outlook for Marietta.
Some times it is the case that in the
summer months, when the farmers are
busy, and not much trade going on, some
of our merchants will get the blues, but
when the fall trade opens and cotton be
ging to roll in, the streets crowded, debts
are paid, money begins to circulate, and
business brisk, they feel like they had
borrowed a good deal of trouble in the
summer, in fact bLad tried to crosé the
bridge before they had reached it. Mariet
ta has never receded gince the war, but
| has slowly, surely and steadily gone for
‘ward, improved and enlarged. §he ,willi
continue to do so, notwithstanding croak
ers some times predict otherwise. It is
the active, enthusiastic men who build up
a place—men of energy and thrift. There
is not an empty store huilding in town,
but on the contrary when a new comer or
anybody else want to go in business in
Marietta, be has to buy somebody out at a
good figure and something extra to get a
store. Several new stores have been
built and they are all occupied.
New improvments are to be seen on
every hand. Hon. A. S. Clay has just
finished a magnificent two story, twelve
room house on Atlanta street, which will
cost him about $5,000; Mr. John Yale is
building & two story, $1,500 house on
George street, leading east from Atlanta
street; Dr. Wm. Alston wili build an
elegant residence onthe same street, as
will also Rev. V. E. Manget. A gentle.
man from Atlanta will buy one on the
same street, and will build a handsome
cottage. Mr. H. D. McCutcheon has just
improved his residence on Atlanta street
very much, at a cost of $l,OOO. Col. R. N.
Holland has just completed five tenement
houses on Green street. Col. E. Faw is
huilding an elegant residence on Roswell
street. Two new cottages have just been
finished on street in rear ot the Methodist
church. Prof. F. L. Freyer hae just
finished another story to his elegant
residence on Cherokee street. Mr. Jack
Barnes has added another room and
otherwise improved his residence on
Cherokee street. Kennesaw Mills Com
pauy are building two neat 8 room cottages
on street in tront of Mr. W. A. McCrea's,
The Electric Light Company is building a
plant on street near Kennesaw Mills. Mr.
Chuck Anderson is extending his livery
stable by a two story brick addition. Mr.
Irvine ' Smith bhss commenced an 8
room, elegant, two story residence on
Whitlock Avenue. Mr. J. Cunidell, of
‘Rome, was in the city on Tuesday and he
is hopetul of starting & furniture factory
in Marietta after this season’s trade is
over. Several gentlemen say that they
‘propose to build a guano factory here and
probably add an oil mill if the Brady bill
is not passed. The movement to build a
‘new hotel for Northern tourists to winter
here is still beicg agitated, and that will
eventually materialize. Mr. W. E. Gram
ling is going to build a two story brickl
carriage factory on Cemetery street. We
understand that the American Msrblel
Company will increase their force, as
trade is growing and the factory is in |
better business shape than ever. With
these facts before us, we think the outlook.
for Marietta’s future is bright and en
couraging. Allwe haveto doisto talk
and work for our town and she will keep
steadily growing.
If you can’t say a good word for the
town, don’t say anything.
MR. JOE S. CLIFTON.
Capt. J. L. Finn has sold kis buggy and
harness stock to Mr. Joseph 8. Clifton,
wbo will continue the business. Mr.
Clifton has traveled for sixteen years for
the best carriage and buggy factories of
the country and is thoroughly conversant
with the business in all of its details, in a
practical way. Mr. Clifton is a pative of
Stewart county, where his father was one
of its most prominent citizens. The
Times-Enterprise gladly welcomes Mr.
Clifton to Thomasville acd takes great
pleasure in commending him to the con
fidence of the people of both city and
county.—Times-Enterprise. ~Mr. Clifton
has resided in Marietta many years, and
deserves the confidence and esteem of the
citizens of Thomasville, His many friends
here wish him success.
COTTON BAGGING.
Cor. Joux P. Forr, of Dougherty coun
ty, in an article in the Constitution says
“that every bale of cotton upon which a
farmer uses cotton bagging, he loses from
75 cents to $1 per bale, and that this
money will go into the pocket of the
manufacturer of cotton bagging, and that
the farmer ig too poor to submit to such
a sacrifice.” We do not know whether
Col. Fort's statement is truz or not, but
the farmers ale already committed to cot
ton bagging and they feel that they had
rather luse this much per bale than to
patronize a trust that was formed for the
purpose of binding them hand and foot
and then deliberately rob them because
they thought they had the advantage of
them.
