The Jamestown Exposition opened
its gates last Friday. President Roose
velt made the opening address.
Congressman Hobson, of Merrimac
fame, wants Bryan and Hoke Smith for
president and vice-president. That
‘would make a fine democratic ticket.
Hon. John T. Boifeuillett, of Macon,
she silver-tongued orator, delivered the
Memorial addrees in Atlanta on Friday.
Marietta has had the honor of hearing
him on a former occasion.
“*The three greatest ‘men in the
world,” is what Jokn Temple Graves
calls Bryan and Roosevelt. Modesty
doubtless put a bridle on his eloquent
tongue when the impulse prompted him
to name the third.
Editor Gantt, of the Athens Call, does
not let up in his merciless attack on
the dispensary in that town. He calls
it the ‘“‘tank,” und says the system is
doomed to die by the will of the people,
as it is a source of crime and misery.
Go it, Larry, you are right!
The Marietta Journal has not been
sold. It will remain in the hands of
Neal & Massey, who have made it one
of the best newspapers in the State.
We wish these distinguished journaliste
continued success.—Alpharetta Free
Press.
Fifty negroes have just 'eft Americus,
Ga., for Los Angeles, Calfornia. [he
encouraging condition of affairs induced
them to go. Marietta has a number of
negroes there. California is fast filling
up with negroes, and soon there will be
another race problem to settle there
besides the Japanese.
The decision of Judge Emory Speer
that the Georgia railroad cannot pre
vent the Postal Telegraph Co., putting
poles on and along its ‘right way is a
very interesting one.—Madison Madi
sonian.
It is farfetched (and constrained de
cision to give one ecorporation the right
to occupy another corporation’s prop
erty.
It is not 80 much guns that defend a
country from invasion as the men be
hind the guns. It is notso much laws
that prevents crime as the men behind
the laws—not the men who make the
guns or the men who make the laws,
but the men who have the handling of
them.—Newberry Observer.
True. We have plenty of law, tbut if
not enforced, just as well not have it.
The Herald cannot do everybody’s
kicking. The older we get and the bet
ter we get—growing in grace with in
creasing years, as it were—the less we
feel like kicking. But the Herald is
the paper of the people and for the peo
ple, and any respectable citizen can
kick his kick or wail his wail in its col
umns free of charge, provided his griev
ance be not a personal one. nng pro
vided further he uses parliamentary
language and signs his name to what
he writes,—Albany Herald.
Them’s our sentiments, provided the
kicker is not too lengthy.
No young man starting out for him
self, being dependent upon his own
exertions, can afford unnecessary ex
penses. He must deny himself extras,
or always remain poor. Even a five
cent cigar each day will amount to
$18.25 in one year, and one who saves
that sum, will be much ahead of the
one who spends it. And the habit of
saving will be worth everything. If he
saves $18.25 each year, only putting it
at six per cent. simple interest, it would
in twenty years amount to $570. So
much for one little trifle of indulgence,
He who would iu a few years be inde
pendent, and not envy the “‘capitalist,”
must start right.
FARMING.
With well tilled farms on the inten
give plan, Cobb county will continue to
develop in wealth. The diversity of
products add to the cash received by
the farmer scattered along through the
year, making easy the conditions of
farm life. When all cotton is planted,
it i 8 in the fall before the farmer can
realize cash and meet his obligations,
Poultry, hegs and cattle raising ; truck,
onions, peas, potatoes, melons, wheat
and corn, add greatly to the financial
guccess and independence of the farm
er. The soil of Cobb is well adapted to
all these, and we have some live, pro
gressive farmers who are succeeding
along this line.
CUNFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY,
Memorial day was befittingly observ
ed in Marietta on last Friday and a
worthy tribute was paid to the Confed
erate dead who sleep in the cemetery
here.
The stores were all closed at nine
o’cloek a. m. until 2 p. m. and the peoc
ple entered heartily into the exereises.
At nine o’clock the Gem City Band,
under the leadership of Mr. C. E. Hen
derson, discoursed excellent music,and
the proeession headed by the band was
followed by Marietta Rifles, Capt Mor
ris commanding, carriage with orator
of the day and committee, mounted es
cort of young men, Mayor and council,
Confederate veterans, officers and mem
bers of memorial assoeiation, Children
of Confederacy, officers and members
of the Kennesaw Chapter U. D. C,, a
long line of the children and teachers of
public school, Odd Fellows, K. P’s, Ma
sods, citizens and carriages
The procession was a very long one
and the 500 school children with tiny
Confederate flags, garlands of flowers,
marching in twos, made a beautiful and
captivating spectacle. It was as pretty
a sight as mortals need to want to see
outside of the pearly gates. These
sweet and lovely children, girls and
boys, were enthusiastic and caught the
spirit of the occasion.
Among the caravan were four or five
pouny turnouts, decorated with red,
white and blue, and tiny Confederate
flags, occupied, one by Eugene Jean
Wallace and Sarah Patton, one by Cora
Brown and Laura Marguerite Hoppie.
one by Anna Felds and Aliece Wellons,
one by Flora Black and Miss Mattie
Black. Mr B H Bostain’s pony turnout
was also in the procession.
At the Confederate cemetery, the
Marietta Rifles fired three salutes over
the graves of the sleeping heroes.
Col. E. H. Clay, marshal of the day,
had charge of the exercises, who ac
quitted himself creditably.
Dr. C. E. W. Dobbs opened the exer
cises with prayer, followed by the chil
dren singing, ‘‘Tenting on the old
Campground,”’
Mrs. R. T. Nesbitt delivered the
crosses of honor to a number of Confed
erate veterans, in a patriotic and ten_
der address, as follows :
- “I would like for every child here to
see this little cross, and realize its full
meaning, and I don’t doubt there are
grown people in this audience, who
could learn from it something of value.
It is not costly. it is not showy, as you
can see,but it bears so much of love and
sympathy, and carries with it always,
the gratitude of the women of the
South. It is their tribute to the men
who wore the grey, to their bravery, to
their courage, to their fidelity through
four long years of desperate struggle:
and when that four years of pain and
privation was ended and they returned
to ruined homes, they wasted no time
in needless repining, but taking vp the
weapens of peace, they, with their bat
tle searred hands earved for the south
the place which ske occupies to-day, on
an equal plane with the first and the
best of the world. And now in pres
ence of this goodly company and these
long lines of ‘‘silent heroes,”” I ask
these Daughters of the Confederey to
pin on your breasts these Southern
crosses of Honor, and let it be remem
bered that wherever seen they are the
tribute of Southern womanhood to
valor.”
One of the most pieasing and admir
able features of the cccasion was the
eloquent and beautiful recitation by
Miss Maud Foster, the gifted and tal
ented daughter of Col. J. Z. Foster.
The poem rendered waz entitled ‘‘ln
Woman’s Keeping.”’
Col. C. D. Phillips introduced the
orator of the occasion, Col. A. H. Cox,
of Cornelia, Ga., who delivered a mag
nificent address, eloquent in thought,
beautiful in diction and . patriotic in
sentiment, 001. Cox’s tribute to the
‘Confederate dead and the principles for
which they died, was grand in concep
tion and masterly in presentation.
After music the benediction was pro
nounced by Rew. W. L. Pierce, and the
crowd scattered over the cemetery and
bestrewed with springs sweetest flow
ers the graves of the Confederate dead.
Imperishable be their memory !
The beautiful idea of a Memorial day
for the Confederate dead was conceived
by Mrs. Mary Ann Williams, of Colum
bus, widow of Col. C. J. Williams, the
gallant commander of the First Geor
gia Regulars in the Confederate army.
He died in the early part of 1862 from
disease incurred while bravely serving
his country in Virginia. Colonel Wil
liams was. very prominent in political
affairs in Georgia, at one time being
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives. He saw service in the Mexican
war of 18468, as Major of the Georgia
Regiment of Volunteers."
