LA EENROLARSRGaGOS LIRS T MARIETTrA JGA- TrurspDAY MoaNiNg, Oor. 10, 1997. E———————————— Gov. Smith advocated in a speech primaries to be put off until September. Wonder why =0 late? Whose conven ience would such a date suit ? The new State of Oklahoma is as large a 8 Ohio and Inliana combined, and is booming. It is Democratic. ‘ | State School Commissioner, W. B. Merritt has resigned, and Prof. Jere M. Pound, superintendent of Public hools of Bibb jcounty, has been appoin ted by Gov. Smith as his successor. ‘ It is said that the Atlanta Brewery is fixing to be a ‘‘locker’’ club. A proper enforcement of the law will knock these fellows into the chaingang who attempt to evade the prohibition law, o i A e 1 The Atlanta Georgian says the new administration has only deetroyed one machine to build up another—a new ring—to ‘‘divide out the offices, to dis- ; penge the spoils and in time to offend ‘ the people.” \ Secretary-of-War Taft, in a speech at a banquet at Tokio, Japan, said war between the United States and Japan “would be a crime against civilization and as wicked as it would be insane.” True, Mr. Taft, but the Japanese are very crafty. There are too many men who expect an editor to slave in defense of their pet notions and hobbies, advocate their views against the strongest opposition, and then cooly withhold the business support by which alone a newspaper ean live.—Orlando Sentinel. The railroads have forfeited more than three-gnarters of a million dollars tothe government during the past year for failing to get mail to its destination within thirty minutes of schedule time and for carelessness or negligence indifferent ways. We defy any man to edit a newspaper without making somebody mad at some period of the business We have been at the business thirty years, andfevery now and then we tread on somebody’s toes, and didn’t know it, either, at the time. A newspaper editordoesn’t want to make enemies, but he does it in spite of himself. A Ternessee man named Charlie Corn has announced his candidacy for a pub lic office. He wouldn’t stand much of a show in Georgia.—Columbus En quirer-Sun. You are mistaken. Charlie Corn would experience no trouble in Georgia. But oid John Barleycorn, who has been knocking people out in Georgia, is catching it right and left, - Have you seen him? He is the “knoeker.” He sees no good in any thing. The town is ro good, the people are not sociable, the preacher is too perzonal, the newspapers don't suit him, the officers are corrupt, the mer ehants arecheats, the lawyers are trick sters, everything is wrong; he alone is right, sweet tempered and fit to asso eiate with angels A miserable impostor 18 said to be traveling over the country selling a recipe for taking off warts, when every body kncws that the only way to take off a wart is to rub it with a potato, which is to be buried afterward by a nigger, in the northeast corner of a graveyard, at midnight, in the dark of che moon. As the potato decays the wart will disappear. The total increase in the value of all property within the city limits of At lanta. returned for taxation, including railroad and other corporate property returned to the comptroller general, is $10,716 847 over the values of last year, The total valuations in the city limits this year are $9O 783,850. The increase in revenue to the city at 114 per cent. will be $132,959.34, which it is said will almost make up the loss of liquor li eenses through State prohibition, A subscriber once received a dun through the post office, sags sn ex ehange, and it made him mad. He went to see the editor about it, and the editor showed him a few duns of his ewn—one for paper, one for type. one for rent and several others. ““Now,’’ said the editor, “‘I didn’t get mad when these came, because I knew that sli I had todo was to ask several relinble gentlemen like you to come and help me out, and then I could settle all of them.” When the subseriber saw how it was he relented, paid up and renew ed for another year. | FIRST NATIONAL BANK. The First National Bank of Marietta, has greatly improved the building it occupies on the southest corner of the square. The interior has a new steel ceiling, painted an old ivory ; the side walls are a beautiful deep green; the fixtures are cherry in color, metal and glass, and the painters brush has bright ened it all very much. The room is commodious and the private office in the rear is convenient, and everything betokens neatness and good taste. The front of the building has had three coats of deep brick red and penciled‘ white. The windows and doors have ‘been regrained and revarnished and new gold leaf lettering adorn the plate glass windows. “The First National Bank, establighed 1888.”” in large gold bluck letters are in a circle on the front of the building. Four large fluted columns, old colonial style, have been placed beneath the brick arches in the front of the building, painted an old ivory. The building presents a new and at tractive appearance, and its improve ments give a business heme for the bank that the officers may feel proud of. The financial condition as shown in its last report is highly creditable and gives the bank a reputatioir as one of the most prosperous and best managed in the State. Its officers are Capt. R. W. Boone, President; Mr. S. K. Dick, Vice-Presi dent; Mr J. E. Massey, Cashier, all prudent, conservative and capuble busi ness men, There is every evidence of the Banks continued growth, prosperity and use fulness. TAKEN IN BY A SHARPER. One of our most prominent Cobb county farmers attended Hagenback & Wallace’s circus here recently, and a fellow approached him inside the big show and ssked him if he could give him a five dollar bill for five silver dol lars which he held in his hand. To be accommodating, he told him he could, and handed him the five dollar bill and took the silver dollars. The fellow said, “Can’t you give me a ten dollar bill and take another five?'’ The citizen replied: “Yes, but I won’t.”’ The fel low indignantly then said, “Take back your five dollar bill and give me back my silver.”” They exchanged back, and the citizen stuck the paper money back into his pocketbook. Next morning he looked in his pocketbook and discov ered that the sharper had given him back a one dollar bill instead of the five dollar bill, and our Cobb county farmer was just four dollars short, and the sharper four dollars ahead. Don’t L monkey with sharpers at a circus! RELIGIOUS SERVICES. The services at the Methodist church Sunday were largely attended, both morning and night. Col. Felton, a prominent lawyer of Montezuma, Ga., occupied the pulpit both morning and night, by invitation of the pastor, Rev. W. L. Pierce, who heard him at the Cartersville tabernacle. Col. Felitcn spoke on the requirement of tithing, giving one-tenth of your income to the church, for carrying on the jwork of the church and the needs [that constantly occur. He said the law had never been repealed, and it ¥as incumbent upon all church members. He spoke of his own experience and of forty members at Montezuma who practiced tithing, and the great blessing it had brought. He is a fluent, strong and able talker, and would make a most excelient preacher. Both of his talks were very fine and full of interest, The choir at both services rendered some excellent music. Mrs. Cunyers, of Cartersville, sang at both services, and delighted all who heard her sweet, persuasive voice. She will return Wednesday, we learn, and asgist in the series of meetings be ing held this week at the Methodist churceh, at 10 o’cloek each morning and 7:30 at night. Rev.E. M, Staunton, an evangelist of Atlanta, is doing the preaching in a most forcible and earnest manner. He has with him a fine singer, who, with the choir, is rendering some charming musie, 1 As to the senatorial race we are more than satisfied with Hon. A. 8, Clay and think he merits and deszerves re-elec tion. He has served his state and dis trict most admirably and has won dis tinetion in the national capital as a worthy and patriotic statesman and loyal American and Southerner. Gov. Smith would no doubt be a power also in the Senate but there is yet plenty time for him. Seab Wright is sugges ted by the Rome Herald. Well,—Clay for us.—Acworth Post. : It comes to the Herald pretty straight that Governor Hoke Smith told a prom inent citizen of Worth county at the Worth county fair on last Tuesday that he weanted to go to the United States senate, but that he had made up his mind to serve out the usual second term aggovernor, and would not, there fore, be a candidate for the senate.— Albany Herald. This is no longer a whispered secret, Colonel Melntosh. It is afactthatyou can talk out in meeting. The governor cannot desert the Ship of Reform un til it reaches port.—Atlanta Georgian. A man who is to be trusted usu ally owes a lot of other men. Wes! View Foro Comany. I HAS ARRIVED! I e Imported Dutch Flower Bulbs!
