A STROLL AROUND MARIETTA.
Business Prosperity.


Passing from our Office q few
evenings since, with mind intent on
business. we thought to take stroll
around the city, and also take a peep
at the business, of the appreciative
citizens of our community, who are
alive to the progress of the times,
and whose business is represented
in the JOURNAL.
At the store of l.. G.. MCCLELLAN,
we observed huge boxes, of Family
Groceries, Boats and Shoes, Notions
and Wares, being opened by Mr.
William Mcclellan, and the articles
arranged for sale. In the inaugural
ton of his new business, he offers
cheap bargains.
In the back part of Neese's store,
we found "our next Coroner" NJ. L.
GRIsT, making and repairing har-
ness, for those horses that never will
have the epizootic. He is brisk,
industrious workman and deserves
patronage.
Messrs. BRuMBY & Son, have met
with such prosperity in business, as
to demand the removal of dividing
partition and stairway, and now they
have a commodious store room, and
stock of boots and shoes, leather,
and family groceries, that will COM
pare tavorably with any similar line
of business. Our friend, j. Bella
Cam pbell is doing the "poli:e" at
this store.
Turning up a flight of steps, we
found ourseIf in the office of DIR.
J. C. GREER, Dentist, and who can
extract a tooth or insert "a mouth
full" with as much ease, skill, and
ability, as any man ofhis profession.
At WIN. COKAINE'S we found an
enormous amount Of Furniture of
every shade, style, and quality
He trides himself in selling cheap.
That "old reliable" friend, GEO.
NJ. MANNING, has blacksmith shop,
wood shop, paint shop, carriage and
wagon shop, and is driving away
trying to make all the money, and
we hope he will succeed in making
a liberal share.
On Roswell street, Mr.. HUMPHREY
REID has a "dozen irons or more in
the fire." the anvil and hammer
rings from morn till night with the
hum of industry-carriages, bug
gies, and wagons, are manufactured
in the most satisfactory manner.
Coming back to the square, we
enter the store of that genial gentle
man, W. J. HUDSON, whose excel
lent business qualities are recognize
ed by every one. He has a SPLEEN
did assortment of Family Groceries
and is doing a good business. Our
friend Joe Handy stands ever ready
to wait upon you.
Above is the paint shop of Clink-
scales & Co., who will execute work
neatly.
We found r. H. MARCHMAN and
his son Doc, busy as bees, with
numerous customers. They have
on hand an excellent stock of Gro
ceries, and have built up a good
trade.
Noxt store is MCCUTCHEoN &
Bro, so favorably known for enter
prise and progress. Dry Goods
and Groceries of every description
fill the house. Mr.. David McCutch
con and Mr.. O'Ncill by politencss
and accommodating disposition COM
mand a large trade.
L. BENNETT & Sons lAAih~- om-
pm fum, groceries, &C., comes next.
They have an ample stock, and with
experience and untiring energy,
have made good reputation and Sc
cured large patronage. May they
continue to prosper.
P. Il. LYON & Bro, occupy the
corner store on Cherokee street and
are catering to the wants of the pco-
pie by keeping an elegant assert
ment of Dry Goods and Groceries.
Both are clever, entorprising men
and Customers find it to their inter
est to always stop in.
A. KEETER, lower down on Cher
okee street, is one of the happiest
and most pleasant men we have in
the community. The people love
to trade with him. He deals in Gro
ceries.
Still further on down the same
street, on the opposite side, is w. l..
MANsFIELD's Warehouse, purchaser
of cotton, and sells bagging and ties,
and runs a number one grain and
