Do YOU feel that you wish Marietta to
prosperg then patronize home enterprises.
If you leave others to sustain the town, they
may act like you, thinking you will patron
ize home, they, too, send abroad, and thus
home business houses, printing offices,
shops and professions must necessarily suf-
fer Tor want of adequate patronage, because
you have not sufficient local pride and inter
est to spend your money with home people
in your own town. Money sent out OF the
community never returns to you again, as
it would if you put it in circulation in your
own town. We have plenty of good citi-
zens who will send to Atlanta for one arti-
tiele, say dress, a pair of Shoes kid gloves.
a coat, hat, ham of meat, barrel OF flour or
sugar, with the hope of saving three cents
on a dollar. In the printing line, they act
they same way and send their jobs to At
lanta or elsewhere, if they can save three
niclles, although We guarantee to duplicate
Atlanta prices for the ettsh. We are always
speaking good word for Marietta, and
therefore entitled to your patronage. 1t
would be poor recommendation to Mari
eta TO have no newspaper yet some by
refusing to give us an advertisement or sub
scribe, say by their conduct that we don I
care whether Marietta has a paper or not.

your fayors, and add TO the prosperity of
Marietta by patronizing home merchants,
home mechanics, and home people general

POETS CORNER.

Hard times come again no more,
Has been sung far and wide on every shore;
By old and young, by short and tall,
Early in the spring and late in the fall.
Their voices have rang with this old refrain,
But alas, their prayers have been in vain;
Until Leake opened the Poets Store,
Then old hard times fled forever more.
To save us, we cannot find any poetry in
the above verses, but what they lack in this
particular is more than made up in solid
parts that cannot be gainsaid, or denied, and
we shall leave it to our readers to finish up
to their ideas of good poetry, while we con-
tinue to fight old hard times, by offering
goods at lower prices than usual. Now
that goods have quit tuctuating in a meas
ure and are settling down to proper stan
dard of values, you will find us ever ready
to meet the market and sell you nothing
but standard goods ut the lowest possible
prices. Our record, in low prices in the
past is an evidence that we propose, and
will adhere in the future TO our motto OF
Quick Sales and short profits. Remem-
Der that we keep everything in the line OF
staple and fancy groceries, and will sell
cheaper than the cheapest. Come and see
lis, and be convinced, that we mean business.
All goods delivered within the city limits
(and a few yards beyond) free of charge
Our book OF poems will soon be issued from

We Have No Candidate

"A friend wants to know why we don t
present our candidate for Governor. In the
first place we have no candidate. We don't
expect to be made rich or poor by the cleo
ton or defeat of any aspiring politician to
any Office. 1t is true, however, that we
are DESTROYS of good and true men being
elevated to positions of trust and we be-
lieve there is sufficient intelligence, virtue
and patriotism in the supporters of true
Democracy to select worthy candidate
that will prove acceptable to the people and
be overwhelmingly elected. Therefore, we
see no necessity of hollering our Threats
sore before the'procession comes in view.

WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE.

A man worth $4,000, who says
that he is too poor even to take the
local paper.
A man refuse to take his local pa
er, and all the time sponge on bis
neighbor the reading of it.
A man run down his local paper
as not worth taking, and every now
and then beg the editor for favor
in the editorial line.
A merchant who refuses to adver-
tise in the home paper, and yet ex
poets to get his share of the trade
the paper brings in town.
A man complain, when asked to
subscribe for his home paper, say
that be takes more papers than be
reads now, and then go around and
borrow his neighbours, or loaf about
until he gets the news from it.
Above all, the rich, misery man,
q no cannot pay for bis local paper,
yet who is always around in time to
read the paper at the expense Of a
friend, not worth the tenth part of
what he himself is, yet who is enter
prising enough to help support the
paper.
We like to see these things, be-
cause they are indicative Of economy,
thrift and progress lin horn. -E1-
