He coolly picked up the detached member, wrapped it in his handker chief and carried 1t home. His wife sewed it back into position, and 1t has knitted nicely and is doing busi ness at the old stand. Banker J. R. Tolleson of Atlanta is now enjoying a short vacation out of jail.

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. —Twin City Daily. $lOO,OOO TO LOAN. MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!

Laxnbdin, of Barnesville, died at 12 o’clok. Mr. Lambdin was en gaged to be married to Miss Maggie Martin, one of Eatonton’s most beautiful young ladies, on the 18th of this month and was on a visit to his betrothed when suddenly strick en with typhoid fever. It was deemed best to have the marriage take place on Monday afternoon as it seemed o cause Prof. Lambdin much snxiety, fearing that he would not be able to have the ceremony performed on the dayset. Accord ingly they were quietly married Monday, riev. W. R. Foote, officiat ing. No Janger was apprehended until Wednesday when he began to grow rapidly worse and died. The Kuyer estate in Kingston, N. Y., has been ‘‘eaten up” by court costs and lawyers’ fees. It was val ued at several thousand dollars, but when Mr. Kuyer died he left a will which was not satisfactory to all of his relatives. The consequence was that when the lawyers got through with the case there was $1 left to be divided among the relatives. It is becoming more and more difficult for a person to dispose of his prop erty by will as he wishes. ; 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. Lzt is learn wisdom. , 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.

The fellow who loafs around on the streets all day, and goes home to a wife, mother or sister, who works hard to support him, can tell you exactly what the country needs to make it prosperous, and what policy a newspaper ought to pursue and the kind of matter it ought to get up to make it a glorious success. —Denison Dispatch. 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.

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.

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.

Mrs. Winn, at last account, was doing well, Her many friends here trust she will soon recover. Rev. Mr. Williams in his sermon last Sunday, said “any man whose debts didn't trouble him in mind, even if he was un able to pay, was not honest.” Some peo ple are not only unconcerned about their debts, but will continue to make debts with no prospect of paying them, and yet they would feel insulted it they were call ed dishonest,.
