Hold Out Inducements

Now is the time to advertise your busi~
ness. II Marietta is TO retain her trade, our
merchants must make greater efforts in
holding out inducements to draw trade,
than they have been making heretofore.
The amount and kind of business, and the
bargains to be offered, should be prominent
ly displayed in an attractive manner in the
local paper We must show thrift and
enterprise worthy of a live place, or our
trade will be diverted to more enterprising
places To reclne on our oars and wait for
something to turn up, wont do in this pro
gressive age. We must be up and doing,
and there is no one medium better than the
advertising columns of the JOURNAL, to
reach a class of people who will spend a
good deal of money this fall.

Sold Out.

...As will be seen by announcement in
another column, DR.. William Root has sold
his Drugstore TO Mr.. r H. Northcutt Mr..
Root has been connected with the drug bus
mess in Marietta eveI since 1885, and his
retiracy now seems like celebrating one OF
the "old landmarks" connected with the
early settlement of Marietta He has strug-
gled with its growth, and passed through
several destructive fires, but Phoenix like
he has always arisen above the ashes, paid
dollar for dollar, and proven to be one of
the noblest works OF God-an honest man.
His genial face has greeted our people so
long, that it is a source of regret that II is
soon to disappear from behind counters OF
that long established store For years he
has been one OF our staunchest friends and
best patrons, and in all our business rela-
tons there never has an unkind word pass
ed betN cen US. He certainly has our best
wishes for his future happiness and prosper
ity.
Mr. r. II. Northcutt, who is Mr.. Roots
successor, is not a stranger to our people,
but is a Young man who has been in bust
ness in Marietta in connection with the
firm of j. j NOrthcutt & Son, and stands
high for integrity, honesty and good busl~
ness qualifications He has tact and energy,
and with the assistance of the old corps OF
clerks. we doubt not this popular drugstore
will be kept up to Its present high standard
and supply our people with pure drugs and
safe prescriptions We speak for Mr..
Northcutt the confidence and patronage OF

Death of Mrs Chuck Anderson.

Mrs. Louella Anderson, wife OF Mr.. j. A
G. Anderson, died at her late residence in
this place on last Sunday morning, about 6
O'Clock. Mrs Anderson had been in i'll
health for long time, and her devoted
husband secured the best medical skill, and
tried the healing waters of different noted
springs, but her disease battled all effort to
arrest it in it's fatal work Her will power
to resist its devastation was heroic and
strong, but disease continued its inroads
upon her system her body wasted away,
the roses faded from her cheeks, and then
remorseless death stepped in and severed the
the silver cord, and her spirit winged its
way back to the God who gave it. Cut off
in the prime of beautiful womanhood, her
death is indeed heavy blow to her loving
husband and relatives, to whom in this
dark hour of sorrow and gloom, we tender
our sympathes. Mrs. Anderson's funeral
was preached by Rev. d. L. Buttolph at
the Presbyterian Church on last Monday
afternoon at clock, and afterwards her
remains were inferred in the city cemetery.

Attacked by an 1nfuriared Steer

On last Sunday, Mr.. NJ. P. Morris, at
his home in this county, was attacked by a
wild steer, brought with drove from the
wiregrass section of lower Georgia. The
steer made plunge at Mr. Morris, and
caught him between his horns under his
arms, and tossed him into the air, falling a
distance of some fifteen or twenty feet on his
face While Frustrated on the ground, the
steer made another dash at him and struck
him back of the head with one@of his horns
laying bare his scalp to the skull for about
one and half inches. The steer stumbled
and fell also, and Mr.. Morris managed to
get up on his feet in dazed condition, the
blood streaming from his head in profusion.
By this time, Mr.. Mayes rode up on mule
when the Infatuated steer rushed at him.
but having a stout stick, he dealt some
heavy blows on the steers head and drove
him off Mr. Norris besides his scalp
wound, was bruised on his breast, shoulders
and forehead, and also had his right thumb
dislocated. His escape from death was in
deed miraculous.

Stealing Byron's Thunder

In the Atlanta Constitution Of Sept. I'd, we
find a heavy criticism on the present Queen OF
England, copied from the Kansas City journal
in which the writer states, latter covering the
Queens character with dark shade ".
Queen Victoria may we'll say with Rober
Burns :"
"My days are in the yellow leaf;
The fruits and flowers OF love are gone;
The worm, the csnker, and the grief,
Are mine alone "
The same is from Byron's last poem; and th'
criticism ia as foreign from truth as the quota
ton is from true authorship.
Burns might have said
Loves a consuming quenchless flame
And when deceived TO cinders burn;
All envied hearts consumed the same,
And mine the urn.
