Some considered it case of sponts

The Race Problem.

For tie Journal.
If the colored nations do not belong t
the Adamic race then they have no soul.
If not of Adams fallen race,
They have no Savior, have no grace;
Have never sinned have never fell,
They have no heaven fear no hell.
If only white men have soul,
And all hell's death bells loudly toll,
At their loss by land and food,
With christian brothers throwing mud;
How stands the grand account at last?
When death and hell shall give blast,
Blow out the sun, the north star fall,
With death and darkness over all.
OH bleeding mercy, see the cost,
The white man S soul alone is lost.
Eternal sleep-the soulless blest;
Hal better been 50 with the rest

POETS CORNER.

Have you ever read the fable of the fox
and the grapes. lGso you can see why
some people are disposed Cir they could to
disparage Larrabee's Snowtiakes. The
fact is we are sole agents in Marietta and
have been for years of Larrabee, and no
one can buy them except ourselves at any
price, and this accounts for the ''milk in
cocoanut Larra5ee in offering us exclu>
sive control OF his world renowned Snow.

your sales being fully three times more
than the whole of Marietta put together we
think you are entitled to and We hereby OF.
fer you the sole agency for our goods in
your place" These goods are the standard
of every market in the United States, and
they cannot be duplicated. They are the
"boss" and are sold by the "boss" grocery
house of Marietta We wish further to
state that our sales for the past thirty days
have been the largest for this season of the
year that we have ever had. The reason
is plain enough. We claim and do sell a
better article for less money than any house
in Marietta and the people are understand
ing this more and more, and we propose TO
keep it up on this line so long as we remain
in business, We are now receiving the
largest line of Crockery we have ever
bought, and are selling tea cups and sau-
GERS as low as 2jcts sett; plates at 3Octs
sett and up; other kinds in same propor>
ton We have in store some of the best
mackerel in barrels that we ever handled,
in fact we have all kinds of goods that we
are selling at extremely low figures Keep
in mind that we are the agents for the

large line of Fancy Groceries expected this
week Get prices come and see us and we
will be happy. Bear in mind that we pay
in cash the highest market price for all
kinds of country produce, and this is the
fairest way 10 deal. We cordially invite
our friends and the public generally to call
where they can get bargains and goods that
are pure and good.

The Library Association.

The recent addition of a score of names
to the membership of the Association fur
nishes text for few remarks to the peO
pie of Marietta Such a large accession
shows that interest in this organization is
growing and that faith in its permanency
is stronger There is warrant for both
these feelings. The objects of the AssOcia-
ton, and the work it has already done,
ought to inspire lively interest in every
citizen who cares for the growth of his
town and the enthusiasm it has aroused in
its members, and their zeal for its welfare,
must show every one who takes the pains
to inquire into the matter, that the final
success of the Association is assured.
II is already success Anything which
gives to its members the opportunity of
reading, for an almost nominal cost, be-
tween one and two hundred volumes of the
very best works of modern fiction, essays,
travel, biography, history, &c, need not
apologize for want of success. This the Lii
brary does, and it is now in a condition to
say to the people of Marietta Join for
your own sakes, and not for the sake of
helping struggling enterprise" This is
a mistake. While the members are always
welcome to the semi~monthly meetings,
membership in the Association need only
mean paying the small dues and reading as
many books as may be desired.
The time devoted to taking out and to
exchanging books is really all that the Ii
brary demands in exchange for the hours of
pure pleasure that its generous shelves af-
