: WHAT IT DID.
Success in advertising depends upon
the character of the “ads,” as well as
on the merits of the articles to be sold,
or service to be rendered. A merchant
who has a special offer to make, and
who will take the pains to make itin
definite terms in a newspaper which
has alarge circulation, will speedily
obtain proof that people do read ‘‘ads’
to some purpose. A case in point is re
ported by the manager of a clothing
house in Bt. Paul, Minn. His employer
placed in the newspaper which is known
to have the most readers in that city a
large ““ad’’ offering shirts for 80 cents
each. *‘“This one advertisement,” says
the manager, “sold more than 5,000
shirts.”
MARIETTA CHAUTAUQUA.
At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Mariesta Chautauqua Association
last week, they fixed the date for the
second annual Chautauqua to begin
July 30th and end July 6th.
The committees on program. adver
tising and locstion were instructed to
begin work at once and make every
requisite arrangement looking to the
success of the Chautauqua and report
at the second meeting on the first Mon
day night in February.
The association will adopt the motto:
*The best is none too good,” and will
give the paople the best series of musi
cal and literary entertainments ever
placed before the public.
The last Chautauqua pregram was
prondunced by Mr. George R. Wend
ling and Hon John Temple Graves as
the best ever placed before the Ameri
¢nn people. It cost money to do it and
itis going to be accomplished again.
The people may rest assured that the
Chautauqua this year will be of great
excellence and merit.
Begin to tell your friends about it,
and talk for it. »
The **Gem City” always does the
right thing in her promises, and the
puolic has confidence in those prom
ises, because they are kept. Now, with
a hearty co-operation of all the people
the association will be able to present
a program at the July Chautauqua that
will equal if not eclipse the one of last
year. 1t ianot amoney making project
with the stockhollers, because they
have not made any, but just simply an
enterprise to keep Marietta abreast
with the times, and afford an educa
tional feast, of good things that will add
to the progressive spirit and moral
prestige of our fair city and her people.
Remember the date. The Marietta
Chautauqua opens Sunday, June 30th,
with a sermon from some distinguished
minister, and will continue to July 6th.

| USED DYNAMITE.
On Tuesday night some miscreant
blew up with dynamite the mill dam
owned by Mr. Jas. T. Anderson, at his
farm and mill about 9 miles from Mari
etta, near Austell. The dam had been
built last October, with a flood gate to
let off the water, which could have been
casily done at a moment’s notice. By
agreement it was t 0 be let off the first
of April. There were nocomplaints
made to Mr. Anderson as tc sickness.
He had told parties that he would let
off the waterat any time it was desired,
yet in the face of these facts, some one
had rather violate law than to make a
request. Efforts will be made to ferret
the guilty party.
1 GETS TEN YEARS.
~ Tke Williams, colored, charged with
maltreating his wife, resulting in her
death, was arrested in Gainesville, Ga.;
and brought back to Marietta last
week and placed in jail. He was tried
in Cobb Suaperior court last week for
murder and the evidence showed that
he had beat her, stamped her with his
foot, pressed his knee violently on her
breast. This was on Saturday, and she
died Monday following. Williams fled.
His trial resulted in a verdict of volun
tary manslaughter. He was sentenc
ed to ten years in the penitentiary.
GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
Marietta, Ga., Jan. 11th, 1901.
We the Grand Jury, sworn to serve
the second week of November term of
Cobb Superior court, and also the ad
journed term of January, 1901, make
the following presentments:
PUBLIO ROADS,
We, find the publie roads throughout
the county have been reasonably well
well worked and are in as good condi
tion as could be expected, with a few
exceptions, and the jury on adjourn
ment made themselves a committee of
the whole, and notified the commis
sioners of the several districts of the
county as to the bad places in the roads,
which they have remedied, or promised
to attend to at an early date.
| BOOKS OF OOUNTY GFFICERS,
We concur with the former Grand
Jury in recommending that His Honor,
Judge Gober, appoint an expert to ex
‘amine the books of the county officers
for the last ten years. This appoint
menrt hasbeen made, and the uppointees
have entered upon the discharge of
said duties and have made a partial re
port to this body ; but on account of
the onerous and complicated work, can
not make a final report until the March
term of this court.
PUBLIO BUILDINGS
We find the conditions set forth in
the presentments of the jury of the
first week of court yet prevail, and,
therefore, endorse them
FINANCE.
We find a very small amount of*mon
ey in the treasury to begin the year’s
‘work with; therefore recommend the
Ordinary to borrow such sums of mon
ey as may be necessary from time to
time to meet any urgent demands
against the county, getting it at the
lowest rate possible, said money to be
paid back next fall out of the tax
money. We also find in taxdigest that
quite a number of small tax payers,
polls especially, have not given in. The
law—act of Dec. 19, 1899—requires the
Justices of the Peace and Notaries
;l‘ul)lic of the several districts of the
icounty to furnish the lax Receiver in
the early part of each year with a list of
the tax payers in their respective dis
tricts, and for this service they are
paid out of the county treasury ; hence
we would recommend and urge these
officers to be diligent in the exercise of
their duty in this matter.
ALMS HOUSE.
Through a committee, we report that
we find at this date that there is on
hand the following property, to-wit:
Corn, 100 bushels ; fodder 1300 bds : hay,
2000 Ibs ; peas, 5 bu; mules, 2; 2-horse
wagon and harness; 5 hogs for bacon:
1 sow and 5 pigs; 4 cows and 1 yearling;
1 set of blacksmith tools and lot of
farming tools, 200, Ibs pork, 15 lbs of
lard and 15 gallons of syrup.
We find 16 inmates, 13 white and 3
colored, all well cared for and seemingly
satisfied. In our opinion the Alms
House is in charge of a competent su
perintendent.
This body extends their sincere
thanks to His Honor, Judge Gober, and
and Solicitor Hutcherson and all officers
of the court for the courtesies shown
thig body in the discharge of our duty.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in the Marrerra
