Roads Especially. |
Mr. Louis Spencer Daniel, repre
senting the Southern Commercial
Congress spoke to the Chamber of
Commerce and others Monday night
when the latter organizatiom gave a
smoker in the auditerium in the
Black building. The most valuable
information that was given the large
audience was a good roads plan
which seemed to meet the approval
of everyone present. ‘
The Southeén Commercial Con

Seuthern Statts and was organized to

half a millio] dollars and where ex-
Ribits of thepatural resources, min

lain Talk to the People of Marietta: |
The,(!ha.mim}fljcommerce has investigated and found out that our sister cities in G2orgia J
have in the way of improvements and what they are doing to increase their values, population,
| business and regources. We have given you from week to week the result of these investigations,
| and now feel that it is time for Marietta to do something. We once read that Virginia was a place
that was never{M of except a place that some one came from.
Marietta mm neglect, nearly reached this class. Are you satisfied for her to remain there?
When we m that it is possible to have a gas plant, paved streets, sidewalks, farmer's rest
room, permanent exliibit of Cobb’s products, etc, it is no idle dream. Not only this. We can turn
~ loose two hundred theusand doilars among the laborers and farmers in our vicinity that will be spent :
' among the merm;nd business men of our city and county.
| We don’t w | §fou to give half of your time, any portion of this money, or make any sacrifices
%o obtain these bemefits. It is only necessary for you to put your stamp of approval to the move
. ment. Be prew i our next meeting and by your presence encourage this work. Will you do it?
‘ We are grateful to the ladies for their interest in this work and trust they will urge the men
. on to their dutge. - :
You will hear from us next week.
