About two dozen weekly papers are
clainiing to be the best in the State.
The Marietta Journal, in our opinion,
is the newsiest weekly that reaches us,
with the Skelton's Elberton Star a
clove second .—Greeneboro, Ga » Herald-
Journal,
Prohibition is said to be spreading
over Kentucky like wildfire. Out of
119 counties nearly 100 have gone dry
under the local option law, and it is
now predicted that within a year only
the counties with the big cities will be
“Yweat.”
The, ‘destruction of the Augusta
Chrodidle laet week by fire, is a source
of deep regret. The building and plant
went up in the flames, Loss about
$lOO,OOO ; insurance, $BO,OOO. The Chron
icle is the oldest newspaper in the
South, having been established in 1785,
one hundred and twenty-five years ago.
Money 18 the greatest broadening or
the most parrowing power the world
knows. Money in the hands of some
people proves an aw{ul calamity for the
community in which they reside. Let
& narrow-minded mean have money
enough to work his will, and any city
would be better off without him.—Ex.
One of the interesting facts of the
prosperity of the South is that there
are go few sherifi’s sales. Time was
when the county official organs carried
full pages of legal notices where now
these same columns ara filled with pe
titions for charter and the like.—Thom
asville Enterprise,
If that is a sign, then Cobb county
must be in a very prosperous condition
for we have carried very few sheriff’s
sales for the past twelve months, only
one last month and none this month
Something over a year ago more than
30,000 persons in Spokane, Wash.,
joined in a general cleaning up of the
city, planting more than 10,000 trees,
and clearing it of all rubbish. The
mayor has issued a call for a repetition
of these operations on April Bth, when
30,000 men, women and children are
expected to take part. Spokane has
about 40,000 people. It would not be a
bad ides for Marietta to take similar
gteps.
In order that a town or city may
make a substantial and steady growth,
it must have factories so as to induce
people to make their. homes there.
People will flock where there is em
ployment. City or public work will
give employment to but few men, and
that only for a portion of the year. The
question of securiog factories and other
sources of employment must be agita
ted and inducements held out to either
the citizens er outsiders to invest, or
at least investigate the possibilities of
succesefully operating plants here,
¢ NEW HOTEL. <
- We are informed that the boarding
‘houses in Marietta are about full and
new applications for board fcr the sum
mer months are coming. and the ac
commodations for the people who want
to spend the summer in Marietta are in
adequate. With the town growing as
it is, it is astonishing that some man of
money doesn’t build a large and mod
ern hotel here. Rightly located, it
would get all the patronage it could
handle. Why not agitate this matter
and efforts be macde to build a hotel
here? It is needed as much as anything
to advance Marietta’s interests. There
is no town in the State, of 6,000 popu
lation, but what has a commedious ho
tel. We have one good hotel, it is true,
but a new hotel would prove a feeder
to this one, and botk would prosper.
FUNERAL OF MR. AGRICOLA. i
The funeral of Mr. .R.J. T. Agricola
took place Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock 1
at the Episcopal church. Rev, Nelson
George conducted the services The
interment was in the Episcopal ceme
tery, with Masonic honors. Mr. Agri
cola had been a Mason for forty years,
and had the respect and esteem of all
who knew him. A 3 a member of the
charch he was faithful, loyal and de
voted, and no one can mention & mean '
act that he -ever did. No man ever
lived in this community of such unsul
lied honor and nobility of character.
Unobtrusive in manner, industrious in
habit, and great in goodness, he was a
model citizen. His departure to a bet
ter sphere of his existence gives him a
reward vouchsafed to the pure in
heart.
Those of the relatives outside of the
city who atlended the funeral of Mr.
R.J.T. Agricola, were Mr. Otto Agri
cola and wife, Mr. and Mrs.J. L. Ham
lin and Mr Clarence Schilling, of
Gadsden, Ala.; Mrs. W. D. Barker and
son Ed, of Jacksonville, Fla,.: Mrs. H.
Agricola and Mr. John Schilling, of At
lanta.
MARIETTA, .
Mariet*a is bound to go forward, de
spite all divisions and factions. New
people are coming in, not tainted with
past differences of individuals; and
new life and confidence in the future
of the town, its growth and prosperity,
is assured. Keep pulling for Marietta,
and we will keep right up with the pro
gress of the times. No_ better town
anywhere. Healthy climate, pure
water, fipe environments, schools,
churches, clever and hogpitable people.
All these add to the desirability to live
here and do business here

~ HOUSE BURNED.
On Friday morning the alarm of fire
was sounded, and fire was discovered
in the roof of Mr. E. G, Gilbert’s dwell
ing on the corner of Lemons and North
Waddell streets, being the old family
residence of Mrs. W. E. Gilbert.
The pressure of water was inadequate
at the start, and the roof burned rap
idly. The fireman succeeded in extin
guising the fire, but not before the roof
was burned off.
The house was occupied by Mr. J. A.
Steil and family, and it is t%ought the
fire originated from a defective flue.
The building was insured with Mr. J.
H. Groves, agent for the Southern Mu
tual Insurance Company of Athens.
REVIVAL SERVICES.
Revival services are being continued
at the Methodist Church every morn
ing and night of this week by the Pas
tor W. L. Pierce and Rev. Mr. Mackay,
of Woodbuary, a cultured singer and
an excellent preaches. Twenty-eight
young people applied for membership
last week. Three persons joined by
letter Sunday morning. The house
was crowded at both the Sunday ser
vices and Mr, Pierce preached two
magnificent sermons. A large number
responded to the invitation for prayer,
The choir and orchrestra rendered
some charming music. The interest in
the meetings is deepening. Dr. Dobbs
of the Baptist church had no services
Sunday night but he and many of his
congregation attended the serviees at
the Methodist chureh.
One of the best meetings held was on
Monday night. Rev. Mr. Mackay
preached. His style is unique, descrip
tive, illustrative and seriptural. He |
stirred the congregation and about one}
hundred went forward and gave him
their hands as a token to live for Christ }
CIGARETTES CUT OUT.
Ofticials and employes of the South
ern Railway, from the president down
to the call boys and light tenders, must
forswear the pleasure of cigarettes,
This is the edict that is reported to
have gone forth from the officials, and
employes must choose between their
positions and cigarettes. All branches
of the system will be affected, so it is
said, and future applicants will have
direct questions put to them as to
whether they smoke or not. The new
jaw will go into effect in the next six
montha.
Give others credit for the good
they do, even if none of it reaches
you.
It is a disgrace to be poor if it
vour own faalt.
