1t is a mistake to think that easy
circumstances or prosperous business
makes the individual, 50 blessed, in
dependent Of tho rest Of mankind
The richest in community is de-
pendent upon some poorer one for
The performance Of some service
which his physical comfort requires
God has wisely ordained it that the
human family shall be dependent
creatures. Therefore, the interest
Of every branch Of business in Ma
rictta, is dependent upon the pat
ronage bestowed to make them trib-
utary to The prosperity Of the town.
We cannot ignore the bNsiuvss Of
one another, but must encourage and
foster every enterprise, small! or
great. Give employment to our
mechanics, patronize our merchants,
build up our schools and Colleges,
support the gospel and your local
Taper. This is the way TO build up,
enlarge and create prosperity. 1t is
conceded that nothing does so much
for place as its newspaper. Yet
there are some men who will ignore
its claims and send to Atlanta to
have their printing done. There
are others who send there and buy
ther goods, when Marietta can fur
nish them. Thisis killing our town.
Atlanta desires to draw all the trade
from Marietta and Cobb county that
she can, and, to etiectually succeed,
she is using all the strategy and
triclsery available. We must battle
her efforts and protect and promote
the interest OF Marietta and her peo-
