The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1883-05-03

cred an address 10 an appreclallVe duulenc'
at the court house at 81 O'Clock p. m. II
was conceded to have been one of the most
sensible addresses ever heard on Odd
Fellowship. 1t was full of those sound
practical truths that impress and convince
the understanding Mayor Goodwin did
himself credit on the OCCASION much to the
qualification Of his friends. After the adj
dress the. large crowd repaired to Nichols
Hall, where sumptuous banquet was
served. The Hall was beautifully decora'
ted with flowers and evergreens while the
walls were lettere6 with notices of the or
der. When the attendance was somewhat
thinned out, the young folks INDUCED in
Terpsichorean pleasures until late hour.
The general verdict was that the entertain
ment was a complete success and every
body present had royal good time. The
Lodge is composed CT some of our best citi-
zens, and has our best wishes for continued
growth and usefulness. We find the fol-
lowing names on the card of invitation:
Committee of Arrangements: Win. J.
VIM, j. A. Massey, Geo. S. Owen, ]. H.
Cooper, Jno. j. Hunt, Jr, A S. Clay and
T. w. Glover Committee of Invitation :
T. NJ. Brumby, J. B. Campbell D. n. An
derson, J. II. Barnes and F. A. Irwin. To
the untiring efforts of these gentlemen were
largely due the success of the entertainment.

DR. Slade the Spiritualist has been
entrapped again, according to the journals
of Walnut, Iowa. His most wonderful
manifestation is the production of mes
sages on states that are clean, as he makes
it seem, up to the time that the noise of the
pencil is heard Two Investigators seized
the slate the instant that the sound began,
opened it in spite of the mediums strug-
giles to stop them, and disclosed long let
ter already written out They say, too,
they saw Slade scratching with his finger
nail, to stimulate the movement OF pen
cil-Ne,o York Sun.
We copied an article in the JOURNAL,
April 9TH, about a spiritualistic fraudulent
seance exhibition of a dirty glove, stuffed
with tow and besmeared With PHOSPHORUS,
&c. The article should have been credited
to the New York Sun, although we clipped
it from the Augusta News. Some watch
full spiritualist" in Marietta forwarded the
JOURNAL containing the article, to the
spiritual paper in Atlanta, Light for
Thinkers, the editor of which wrote to US
demanding names, etc, saying that he
wished to publish the impostor Above we
copy another article, which the Marietta
spiritualist can send to the same Light
Thinker, if he chooses so to do. We want
to keep the Marietta spiritualist and the At
lanta medium in constant communication
with each other.

Nearly every citizen we meet says to
us "Hit the City Council for the disgrace
full condition of the city cemetery" AS
we are not in the hitting" business, we
hope the City Council will save US this
frequent annoyance by putting the city
cemetery in the very best possible condition
at once, even if the city has 70 be run in debt
to do it. Anybody who feels like doing
some hitting" IN this direction, can write
a piece, put their names to it, and thereby
assume the responsibility, and we will pub
lish it. AS for ourselves we do not care to
do all the hitting" for the town, as pro
fessional hitter, some times carries a black
eye.
I'VE hear that Dr. W. p Harden made
sale recently of some young grade Jersey
heifers, with their first calves at good
prices. One OF the heifers brought with
her calf, we are told, one hundred and
twenty five dollars. There is general dis
position IN this county 10 improve all klhus
of stock, cows, horses and hogs Major
Henry Myers of this place, has lately
bought from Tennessee pair of very fine
thoroughbred Berkshire pigs. We are glad
to make note OF such things.
We noticed a Northern gentleman and
lady taking in the town last Saturday. A
motley crowd, attracted by some negro mu-
sicians, they viewed critically, while an OK,
yoked to wagon, little negro boy sitting
thereon, seemed ludicrously interesting to
them shuck horse collar they stopped
to examine and comment on, also. Evil
IDENTITY they are on a tour of inspection, and
enjoy sight seeing" in a country town, as
much as rural folks would enjoy the sights
in city.
