LECTURE ASSOCIATION.
The Marietta Lyceum Assbeiation of
fers on Saturday, Jan. sth, for its fifth
number, A. W. Hawks, the Laughing
Philosopher. The Association had con
siderable trouble in securing Mr.
Hawks, owing to the great demand for
himn over the South, and they are to be
congratulated on securing him as he
will be one of the best attractions of
course. He tells funny stories, re
counts pathetic instances; as an im
personater he is without a peer; his
facial expressions are wonderful, no
¢ostume, no make-up, wears his store
clothes and makes his own faces. He
comes endorsed by the entire clergy and
press of his own state, Maryland. Don’t
miss this rare treat; remember the
date, ‘Saturday, January sth, 1901, at
Bluck’s Opera House.
ASSAULTED AND ROBBED.
On Friday night last, near 10 o’clock,
Hooe Wing, a Chinaman, staggered out
of his laundry, on Mills street, and ap
penred at the door of the pool room two
doors from his shop. The Chinaman
presented a horrible sight, a terrible
swollen eye, his brains exposed where
his skull was fractured and his face and
clothing covered with blood. He man
aged to tell those in the pool room that
General or Jim Broadnax, a negro boy
about 16 years old, who works at Mr.
Roesel’s bakery next deor, in company
with a tall black negro man had knocked
at his door about nine o’clock and asked
to be given a cup of tea. The China
man let in the negro boy, as his mother
works in the laundry, but who had gone
home, and while Hoove Wing was getting
the tea, Broadnax dealt him a fearful
blow across the face and eye with a long
iron pipe which he had in his hand,
knocking him down, and then he picked
up a hatehet and drove it into the Chi
aaman’s gkull fracturing it and expos
ing the brains. Ile dealt other blows,
and then rifled the Chinaman’s pockets
of $4.00, and evidently becoming seared

money. The Chinaman on regaining
consciousness managed to get out doors
and give the alarm uas above stated.
Drs. Nolan and Tennent, came and took

A SAD TRAGEDY.
A sad and deplorable tragedy teook
place on Christmasday. Luther Brew
er, aged about fourteen years, was out
hunting. He was returning home and
stopped at his sister’s house, Mrs. Ed.
Crow, about three miles south of Ma
rietta. He was sitting on a high beneh,
his feet swinging and his gun resting
on the ground. His foot struck the
trigger, the gun was accidentally dis
discharged and the load of shot passed
through his right arm and lodged in the
center of his forehead. He lived about
two hoursand a half and died. Dr.
Nolan was sent for, but he ecould do
nothing. The deeeased was the son of
Mr. N. A. Brewer, who lives at the
Reynolds farm at the edge of town
The sad death is deeply regretted and
the family has the sympathy of our
people. The buarial took place at

AN ELEGANT TESTIMONIAL.
Mr. George F. Newell, general manas
ger, secretary and treasurer of the Ken
nesaw Marble Company, who has been
confined to his home sick for several
weeks’ had a very happy surprise on
Christmas day by a handsome remem
brance from the employes of the mills,
a massive solid silver loving cup, a very
elegant pattern, chaste and beautiful.
His room was invaded by a committee
composed of Mr. Pat MeGarry and Mr.
Pete Curry, accompanied by Capt. R.
W. Boone, president of the company.
In a beautiful and appropriate speech,
Mr. Pat McGarry presented the pres
ent. Mr. Newell was completely over
come with emotion, and accepted the
gift as a token of esteem of the noble
men who so generously had him in
their minds during his several weeks’
affliction. Elegantly engraved on the
cup is the following inscription: ‘‘Pre
sented to George F.Newell by the em
ployes of the Kennesaw Marble Com
pany. Dec 25th, 1900.”” Thisshows the
esteem and the friendly relation exist
ing between the employes and Mr.
Newell.
LOOK WELL AFTER THE MOUTH.
Your mouth is the front of your face.
It is the aparture to the cold storage
room of your anatomy. Some mouths
look like peaches and cream and some
look like a hole chopped in the side of
‘a brick wall to admit a new door or
‘window. The mouth isa hot bed for
‘toothaches, and a bunghole for oratory
‘and a baby’s crowning glory. [t is the
crimson aisle to your liver and nature’s
apparatus for blowing out the lamp. It
is patriotism’s fountain head and the
tool chest for pie. Without it polie
ians would be wanderers on the face of
the earth and the cornetist and the
chorus girl would go down to unhon
ored graves. It isthe grocer’s friend,
the orator’s pride and the dentist’s
hope. It puts some men on the stone
pile. It is the temptation’s lunch
counter when attached to a maiden,
and the tobacconist’s friend when at
tached to a man. Without it a married
would be a perpetual summer
dreatgand the dude would lose half of
his attrda{ions. And most of all, if
there were nouths there would be
no happy greeti or no good-byes, no
words of comfort or hope.
Whisky is a robber, it will even
steal the bread from a stnrving‘
drunkard’s family.
