It is said that a commigaion has in

the various taxes that keep eating into
them. i
The Kentuckians have burnt Gov.

The most perfect wife in this world is

tackled Gainesville. Ga., real estate

AND MINISTERS.
“It is remarkable that neither the
First Baptist Church, nor the First
‘Methodist Church, nor the Presbyterian
Church, has ever produced a preacher.
The rector at Americus [ Rev. James B.
Lawrence] is the son of R. DeT. Law
rence, of Marietta Episcopal Chureh.”’—
Marietta Courier.
The Courier has been wrongly in
formed. It would be ‘‘remarkable,’” if
true, and we know the Courier will be
glad to correct it.
Rev. W. D. Anderson, one of the
grandest, brainiest and most consecra
ted preachers that ever adorned the
North Georgia Methodist Conference,
was converted here at a sweepingrevival
and entered the ministry as a member
of the Marietta Methodisgt Church. He
was assigned to the pastorate of this
churech when the conference met here,
by request of the members, and served
the church faithfully, and when he de
parted this life, he was a trustee of the
Marietta Methodist Church. He was a
commanding figure in the conference,
of unbounded influence, and was pastor
of First Church of Athens, First Church '
of Atlanta, I.aGrange, and other places,
and was presiding elder of the Marietta
district. If he had lived, he would have
been made bishop, as his name was on |
the lips of brother ministers frequently
for that sacred and responsible place.
Then, there is Rev. Charles Lanse,
Who is it that doesn’t know Charley
Lane? who preaches and lectures, and
does as mach good as any one in making
other paople happy and better.
Rev, John M. Lowrey, born and raised
in Marietta, who worked side by side
with the editors of the Marietta Jour
nal at the printer’s case, entered the
ministry as a member of the Marietta
Methodist Church, and became presid
irg elder. He was the son of Rev. Bazil
Lowrey, and was related to Bishop Hay
good.
Then, there is Rev. Claud L. Smith,
one of the brightest young men that
ever entered the ministry, who was an
active member of the Marietta Metho
dist Chureh, now a missionary in Brazil,
doing a grand work.
From the Baptist Church, Rev. John- '
nie Logan, an able preacher and earnest
worker, now in charge of a church in
Alabama, and, by his life, reflecting
credit on the First Baptist Church here
r who helped to educate him at Mercer.
Dr.ll. W. Waddell, a member of the
| Marietta Presbyterian Church, and
ordained here as a minister; a man ot
great learning and pulpit power, presi
dent of several colleges at different
times, and filling acceptably prominent
pulpits, and is now in Florida.
So it can be seen that the churches
here have contributed ‘‘strong” preach
ers, as well as statesmen,
1T LESSENS TEE TRAFFI(.
A great glass works at Huntngton‘
W. Va, has closed its doors, and sev
eral glass manufacturing plants in
Pittsburg are working on short time
and with many hands suspended indefi
nitely. Thehead of one of the concerns
said that prohibition was the cause of
the slump in the trade of concerns
making bottles and tumblers of various
sorts.—Savannah News.
This is an indication that prohibition
does prohibit Intoxicants are not con
venient; 1t has to be sent for by ex
press or sequestered in dens, and thus
delays the use, decreasing the amount
of consumption of both whiskey and
beer, and very materially decreases the
demand for bottles. Prohibition, iis
also reported, has decreased the cigar
trade, a 8 men formerly stood around
bar-rooms, imbibed freely, and smoked
cigars frequently. The lack of oppor
tunity to indulge in convivial drinking,
has curtailed the demand for cigars.
What man is not bettered physically,
mentally and financially by leaving off
the use of tobacco and whisky?
THE KENNESAW MARBLE MILLS. ‘
The Kennesaw Marble Company, ofi
Marietta, has just putin operation a
new traveling crane of twenty-five
tons, 350 feet long and 75 feet wide It
is an immense piece of machinery, and
gives this mill facilities for handling
marble that is without an equal any
where. The mill, under the manage
ment of Mr. A. V. Cortelyou, is pros
perous and successful. It is one of the
largest and oldest plants in the South,
well equipped with the latest and best
machinery. It does all kinds of monu
mental and interior marble work of
buildings, magnificent in finish and
quality. Some of the largest buildings
in Atlanta, New York, New Orleans,
Jacksonville and Chattanooga have been
finished on the interior with marble by
the Kennesaw Marble Company. It is
constantly enlarging and adding to its
facilities with the latest and best ma
chinery, and its career for business and
‘usefulness has just begun, compara
tively.
Dr.J.A. Wynn.formerly of Marietta,
has resigned the pastorate of the
church at Ardmore, Okla. We note
with interest that he preached at Col
lege Park on the fourth Sunday in this
month. His many friends in Georgia
would be glad to see him ratnrn to the
State to stay.
