nading Tuesday night.
THE Silver Cornet Band meet
and i.ractice twice a week.
VIZ yield much of our space
this week to several interesting COM
munications.
The South's greatest northern
enemy, Charles Sumner, died on the

Our citizens are industriously
gardening and putting their flower
wards in order.
--"OUR JOE" has at last struck
his talent, He is selling Guano for
Hudson & Co.
-rHEY tell that there has been
more Guano sold in Marietta up to
date than there was last year up to
this time.
-OIED-In Houston, Texas. on
Feb. 18th, DR.. Chas. NJ. Owen
The funeral took place from the
residence of Mrs. DR.. Connell.
VIZ regret to know that Mr..
J. F. Lindley had one eye, last
week badly affected, by the optic
nerve being paralyzed. He is re-
ceiving medical treatment.
IT is true wisdom to adver-
tise in dull times literally, thereby
make things lively and attract your
share of the trade. Hold out in
ducements to the man who has
money to spend.
-PosTPoNED.-The "foot race"
areund the City Park between old
man Sorrels, and a dry goods clerk
has been postponed until the LIST OF
April. Sorrels is fast on foot, but
the clerk is good on a race and is
bound to sOin.
Mir. John Alexander, living
near Marietta, years ago had one Of
his legs so badly burned that he
had to go on crutches. Recently,
abe burned parts became so irritated
it was thought necessary to ampu-
tate his leg, which was successfully
done last week.
IMPROVEMENTS -Mr. John w.
Hill. has let out the contract to build
two new, two story, brick store
houses, on North side of the square.
Messrs. Henderson & Dyson are the
contractors for the woodwork, and
II. B. Wallace for the brick work.
We understand both stores have
been spoken for, to be occupied,
as soon as completed.
Two '.jail birds" by the name
of Hill and Garden got possession of
a pocket knife, (by a son of Hill
visiting the jail,) and concocted a
plan to stab Sheriff Stephens, Sun
day morning, when he opened the
cell door and thereby effect their es-
cape, but the plot was 'nipped in
the bud' by Sheriff Stephens dis
the knife, and they still re-
main 10 "durance vile."
Mica Capt. Lyon has left
with us specimens of Mica taken
from the place of Mr.. Elijah Dean,
of Cherokee county, on Little River,
Id miles from Marietta. One piece
of mica measured 17x17 inches in
width. There were ITO pounds of
the mica excavated, and the supply
is said to be inexhaustable. Our
new Railroad, when built, will run in
one or two miles of this mine.
-HoME.-The following beauti-
full little gem, descriptive of home,
we find floating on the sea Of litera-
.nre:
Two birds within one nest;
Two hearts within one breast;
Two souls within one fair
Firm league of love and prayer,
Together bound for aye, together biest.
An ear that waits to catch
A hand upon the latch;
A step that hastens its sweet rest to win
A world of care without,
A world of strife shut out,
A world Of love shut in.
-WHAT Railroads does for 3
Mace. and what they would do for
Marietta, may be judged by reading
the following Texarkana, Texas,
is about seventy-ive days old, built
in a dense forest. 1t is located
nineteen and half miles from Full
ton. Arkansas. 1t nov numbers
over two thousand bona tide citizens,
