G button this has been tried and thus
far failed, or rather fallen short of sue
. cess. Many citizens have contributed
: given all they could. All have had
= an opportunity to contribute. Many
who have contributed nothing and will
y not contribute one cent, will be benefit
. ted most. They know it but expect ''to
reap where they did not SOW" Others
have not contributed because they say,
those who "rcap" should be made to
''sow," that an ad valorcm tax is the on
~ way Of reaching jn>ttce-and doing
justice From the contributions made
valuable site has been purchased at
nominal sum. There is material enough |
on the lot to build the walls, and per-
haps money enough in the hands of the
Treasurer. Mr. Mansfield, to pay the
workmcn. The Rev. VIM. A. Rogers,
teacher Of % years experience, IN
every way fitted and qualified has been
elected President. lie comes to us with
the testimonials Of unquestioncd worth
and competency he bears the prestige
of success, and assures us Of success
He has alre lady cast hislot with us and
for our good. This school has opened,
! and every week increases his numbers
and strengthens the confidence ofhis pat
rons. The one thing is wanting, and that
one thing indispensable, suitable bnild-
ings. Again ask how shall The means
be had 10 build and who should furnish
the means? Justice answers all who
will be benefited. Truth says, every
man, woman and child, high and low,
Il rich and poor, white and chlorcd-of
every species Of property, real and per-
sonal, will be enhanced in value. Popu-
Iation will increase, our burned ard "a
cunt corners and waste places viii be
bnilt up. The boot-black, was!:rrwo-
d man, scamstrcss, icd0wS, orph"nN, me-
) chanics, merchants, traders, all. every
L body, and last but not least, our
Churches and our children will be benc-
fitted. Justice do jasf'ce to the wild

ground reasonable hope Of increased
wealth or population. Located on a
y high, dry plain, although with nnsur-
passed salubrty Of climate and health

j" A few words more. am authorized
70 % by the Young Mems Association to say

y. poor. Mr.. Rogers gives more than any
citizen of Marietta. Eight worthy girls
being taught and educated by him free of

! collegiate course and are now ir school
AS they graduate their places will be
filled by others. AT $50. for the col
i legiate course, he gives $3.50 per an
mum, and gives to the world eight
educated women, who will honor
aud bless society. ''JuStjcc" will not
deny to these girls and the town so great
benefit, nor himSeB, nor the poor who
can't contribute except their mite in the
: way of taxation, the privilege Of aiding
in so glorious a work And remember.
: Mr. Rogers is not dependent on this en-
terprisc, for his talent and attainmcnts
: are in demand, and Colleges already
built and filed, have called and still
seek his services.
Look here, Justice" "gt oft -
You just wrote what you did to show
the people there was no sense in oppos-
