MARIETTA ITEMS.

The gentlemanly editor of the Dawson
Journal, who was in attendance upon the
agricultural convention, has the following
items about Marietta, in his paper
We shall not soon forget the dear people 0f
Marietta and Cobb county, and AS for our
good friends, Doctor and Mrs. Gober, they
shall ever claim bright spot in our heart S
affections.
The Marietta Journal is one of the best
papers in Georgia.
Marietta has chair factory which
turns out 600 chairs day.
The water OF Marietta is the best we
ever drank.
The farmers of the convention were
entertained by the Marietta people in roy
al style
I'VE advise all our friends who wish to
spend few weeks in North Georgia to &C
to Marietta.
THE girls and boys of Marietta are just
as pretty and handsome as they can be.
The paper mill near Marietta, owned
by Mr.. Anderson, is one of the most nota-
BILE enterprises of the State.
TO the people of Marietta we concede
the palm for all that is clever, hospitable
and noble.
Were we not a citizen of Dawson, we
should NEST certainly make Marietta our
home.
Marietta has the handsomest court
house of any country town in the State. 1t
is credit to Cobb county.
The National cemetery located at Ma
rietta is one of the handsomest places of the

beautiful park well set in most luxurlant
growth of blue grass, ornamented with a
dense cluster of beautiful shade trees
while in Marietta we saw as many as
three bicycles running the streets at the
same time. One young man uses one OF
these vehicles in traversng the county on
business. They can be propelled at the
rate of ten miles per hour with very little
labor They cost from $50 to 800. ~.
The good citizens of Marietta did all
that noble and generous people could do
to entertain the delegates to the agricultur-
al convention which assembled in that beau
tiful little city.

the wells in Marietta are daily supplied

IN LUCK.

Lieut.. Willard Young, son of
Brigham Young, is teacher Of en-
cheering at Yves! Point. A Salt
Lake correspondent says; "He was
at West Point when his fathers es-
tate was being settled up, and when
the litigation began his agents wrote
to him to know what they should do.
He replied that he didn't care about
qaarrelIiug about the matter that
be bad profession that would give
him living, and that he would take
what the others didn't want. So a
lot of railroad stock, supposed to be
nearly worthless, was assigned to
him. He took it, and the develop
ment of the Territory has since
made him one of the richest of the
old mans heirs" He is now 10
Utah on his wedding trip.

TANNER oUpDoNE.

There is a negro in Jail at For-
syth who has outcome Tanner in his
abstinence from food. He has eat
en- nothing for more than two months.
Sheriff King called DR., L b. Alex"
ander in to see the prisoner to ascer.
tain his condition. He was found
considerably reduced, but free from
all symptoms of insanity, being, in
fact, quite rational and Intelligent.
He reads and writes we'll, and is
much above the average of his race.
Mr.. King and DR.. Alexander finally
prevailed on him to sip milk
punch, which he then did under
compulsioh. But he has continued
to resolutely refuse all food, and
can be induced to taste only milk
punch or wine occasionally. Like
DR.. Tanner, he drinks water freely,
but outside of that he hasn't taken
enough nourishment in over two
months to keep an ordinary man
alive three days. He has lost about
sixty pounds of flesh and is merely
a skeleton. He cannot walk step,
and can only get up with assistance.
When lying quiet.he has the APP
pear ance of dead man His tenn
perature and pulse are far below
nominal, and his respiration yester-
day was only eight per minute. The
blood has settled about in spots un-
der the epidermiS, and he looks
some what like calico circus horse

BAD RESULTS OF INHERITING A
FoRTUNE.-Tho widow of Baptist
deacon, who died four years ago,
said few days ago: "Tbe great
mistake of my husbands life was
leaving 100000 to his children.
My oldest son had not been in pos
session of his portion six months be-
fore he acquired Incorporate habits,
and to day, wrecked in health and
morals, he hasn't a dollar left of the
thousands his father left him. My
daughter has married an immoral
man, who has spent her portion, snd
now her life is sad and dreary. 1t
would have been a thousand times
better had my husband devoted his
means more largely to education and
Christianity" Richmond Va. Re-

MUST GO.

The hoodlum still continues to
suggest a variety of methods for
driving the Chinese from California
The latest is the act of San Francis
co Supervisors, who passed a laun-
dry ordinance prohibiting John from
carrying on the washee business.
Its coDstitutionality being questions
ed, a test case was taken into the
United States Circuit Court, and an
opinion was obtained from Judges
Field and Sawyer declaring, among
other things, that "the business of a
laundry is not against good morals
it is no. offensive to the senses; it
disturbs not the neighborhoOd where
conducted, nor is it dangerous to the
public safety or health" The San
Francisco Gull now says that there
may be rehearing in the case. -
Protests have been presented to the
Supervisors declaring that opium is
smoked 10 the Chinese wash houses,
that their proximity increases the
rates of insurance, and that in many
cases insurance is refused by reason
of their presence, and that they are
further, a nuisance by reason of the
noise of pounding clothes and the
noxious smells issuing from them.

DR.. L. j, Charlton. None knew her but
to love her; none named her but to praise, a
perfect character amiable, unselfisb, un
yielding in her belief, Jealous christian
and an earnest worker in her church. She
was as a shining light, ever ready, to cast
its rays of precept and example in the path
of those that might err. Being always
charitable and liberal, God has bereit the
poor of a faithful friend, but He worketh in
a mysterious way his wonders 10 perform.
She was typical of a fond wife and an afiec-
tionate mother, cheerful, positive, and
faithful to n trust, possessing all OF those
enviable qualities which transforms home
into paradise. Never did she foster an un-
kind thought, but was ever ready to for.

loss is irreparable but God in his wisdom
has seen fit to afllict us" and we must bow
in handle submission to his holy will.
Many acts of her kindnes are fondly cher.
ished by loved ones left behind who will
dwell with her in sweet communion until
the day when all hearts shall be opened.
For her invalid mother, her devoted hus-
band, brother and eight loving children our
hearts shed tears of blood and our prayer
shall be, that God in his mercy shall temper
their hearts to receive the sore atliiction.
but wherefore weep Her matchless
spirit scars
Beyond where splendid shines the orb of

And weeping angels lead her to those bow
ers
Where endless pleasures virtues deeds

''Yet is remembrance of those virtues dear,
Yet fresh the memory of that beauteous
face.
Still they call forth my warm affections

Still in my heart retain their wonted place.

TO COUNTY OFFlCERs.-The new law
regulating legal advertising, has cut prices
down so law, that while we propose to com
ply with the law, others must do the same,
and we must insist that in every case the
printers fee must be collected and paid in
advance This gives less trouble. The
law fixes the rates as follows: "For each
one hundred words, the sum of seventy five
cents for each insertion for the first four in
sertions and for each subsequent insertion
thirty five cents for each one hundred
words. -
