short while ago, we p, omised, to the best of our
humble abilities to give the citizens Of Marietta

and county, their business enterprises and pub

no discredit. As young men raised in Marietta,
with every feeling ksenly alive to her every
interest, with all the kindred ties of friendship
and affection to bind us to the place as our per-
maneut home, we have earnestly, industriously
and theoretically strven to do our whols duty
and keep our promise: aud that the Journal
is appreciated at home, we have great assur-

port we have received, sss1 thatit is respected
abroad, we give below as sSfdence few com

changes since our last issue:
