THINK ABOUT 1T F.!

Marietta is beautiful city with 25,000
inhabitants, and is the most delightful place
for residences in North Georgia In many
points tits fully abreast with the times, in
improvements But it lacks school houses.
We have an elegant Court House, worth over
$4,000, substantial brick Jail, city clock
and public park the pride of our people and
the admiration of strangers, We have cred
| liable brick churches and elegant private
| residences. But we have but one public
school house inadilapidated condition worth
| about 5000 Think of it The taxable
| property of the city is over a million dol
| lars. The value of our school buildings
| 5000 How does it look? Our schools are
taught in private houses and work shops.
Had you thought oft Canton has school
Of 100 pupils and new brick academy
worth $4,000. Acworth has a fine brick
academy and good school, Powder Springs
has a new academy Good-schools do much
for city. Look at Dalton, Rome Gaines
vile, LaGrange, Newman GAINESVILLE For
syth, and Alabama. Read the papers every
day and see what is being done elsewhere
Our neighbors are supposing us. 1t is time
to wake up. Strangers, among the first
things enquire about our schools. A zen
teman from an adjoining county said few
days ago that he wanted to move from his
farm to town to educate his children and
inquired about the schools of Marietta.
1t is true we have been unfortunate in our
school investments heretofore. But there
was a reason for it. Then we went in debt
and the buildings were sold for the debt
To avoid that error lets raise the money to
erect creditable buildings, and not go in
debt 1t makes no difference how we raise
the money. whether by stock company or
by donation. The end to be accomplished
is the same-good schools for the city. Let
those who want to donate money start list
Of that sort and let those who prefer the
form of stock, subscribe to that list. We want
good male academy and good female
academy. 1t is not the time now to differ
about methods. The great thing is to ac-
complish the end. Stock holders will not
expect any profit on their stock If sub
scriptions were made by the people general
y sufficient to raise necessary funds, nobody
would want stock for his subscription. But
if a few have to put in all the money, it is
right that they should maintain some con
troll of the buildings
The question is upon us What shall we
do? 1t requires money from every man
who has any interest or pride in the city,
Think about it! EYOCH FAw.

CRUSHED UNDER A TRAIN.
ATramp Killed While Trying to Steal Ride

Mr.. Taylor Forsyth, shoemaker of At
lanta, died at this place Wednesday morn
ing from injuries received last Tuesday
night by falling under the car wheels of the
passenger train which arrives here at ll:44
Forsyth and an unknown man were steal
ing a ride on the mail car platform, next to
the tender Of the engine, and were seen in
the act ofjumping off the train just before it
stopped, by Mr.. Bud Nell night Waterman
at the Kennesaw Mills. His groans attract
ed the attention of the postal clerk who ex-
claimed: There's man crushed under the
car wheels" Forsyth was found on the
ground along side of the track with his right
shoulder and arm crushed and skull fractur-
ed. Conductor Ferguson detailed hagmen
Miller to inform Mr.. John II. Boston, depot
agent, of the accident Mr.. Boston came
and had Forsyth removed from the depot
platform to Mr. j. Spilman's European
House, where DR. Simpson attended him.
Forsyth lived until near 3 o'clock Wednes-
day morning and died Before his death he
gave his name as Forsyth, but was unable to
make himself understood intelligibly on
anything else, although he tried to do so,
being rational only at intervals His iden-
tity was established by Mr. W II HUMPHREYS,
who recognized him as Taylor Forsyth, a
shoemaker of Atlanta aged about 81, un-
married, and the son of William Forsyth, a
gentleman well known in Atlanta A tele-
gram was sent TO his father, who, in answer,
requested that the body of the deceased be
forwarded to him on the Rome accommo-
dation train which was done.
Owing to the sickness Of Coroner Root,
c C VIM, Justice of the Peace, held the in
quest with DR. Tennent Foreman, elicit
| ing in substance the above information
The verdict of the jury recited the fact that
the deceased came to his death by being
crushed under the cars, on which he was
riding, without having paid his fare, and
| that the w & A Railroad was bameless as
to the cause of his death

STRANGE PROCEEDING.

MARIETTA June 6th.-Editors Journal
Some of our citizens, minister in the par

Young Mems Christian Association, to hear

Rev. Mr. Munhall returned to the city by

they found Mr. Munhall, small crowd and
also the stringed instruments. They say
when they left the strings were being tight

order of the day.
Mr.. Munhall returned to Atlanta on the

deception and hope that some member OF
that Association will tell us where the re

SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Shall we have good school buildings in
Marietta, properly equipped, for educating
our children, and preparing them to meet
the duties and responsibilities of life? This
is an important question for us to answer at
this time; and according to the manner in
which we answer it, will be our reputation
abroad and whether we are in favor of pro-
gress and advancement, or whether we are
willing to be classed among the number OF
non-progressve and unenterprising cities Of
the South.
We are sure that no man Of intelligence,
if he gives the subject consideration, will
fail to say that we are sadly in need of good
school buildings.
There is no one of us who would expect
any workman to do the best work, without
the proper and necessary tools for doing it.
How then can we expect to have our chill
dren thoroughly taught unless proper ac
commodations are supplied
If we are not willing to build school nous
es, can we expect that any one will do it fol
us? Are we willing to be excelled in schoo
privileges by Canton, Gainesville and Ac
worth, our immediate neighbors; or shall
we determine that we will make Marriott;
equal to any city of its size in school advan
tages
There is not the least doubt of our abilit,
to do this, ifw as citizens will only be unit
ed in our efforts in this direction. Nor i
there any doubt that if we shall succeed il
having, good school buildings and well or
ganized schools that the money invested il
this way will be repaid to us four fold in 1
few years, by our increased growth anC
J prosperity, PROGRESS.

GOOD FARMING.

Mr.. I. K. Handy, one Of Cobb's progress
i've farmers, planted J an acre of bottom
land last year in sugar cane, Irish potatoes,
onions and watermelons He sold Irish po-
tatoes and onions enough to bring 500 90,
made lO3 gallons of syrup, put up about
5000 stalks of cane for seed, and raised wa
termelons enough to supply his family for a
considerable time Now this is very large
yield, but taking into consideration that the
land is naturally rich, then being well fertil-
lied and planted in different crops, that
mature at intervals from early in summer
until late in the fall it is not altogether so
surprising as it might be otherwise. How
ever, one thing it does do it shows that Mr..
Handy knows how to prepare, plant and
cultivate, and what kind of crops to raise to
make farming profitable Now suppose we
see how much his gross income was as | am
not informed as to what the expense was in
raising and gathering the crop

Mrs. Gartrell was born near Greensboro
Ga, January 9th, 1929, and was the only
daughter of family or six children. She
received her education in Greensboro, and
her schoolmates remember her beauty of
person, and gentleness of disposition, which
made her favorte with all her companions
Hee father Mr.. James G. Randle, after
wards removed to Penfeld Ga, where she
was married December 18th, l848. A few
years later her husband removed to Mariet-
ia, where she resided till her death. Fitted
by nature and education to adorn any
sphere in society," her highest ambition was
to brighten the home circle of which she
was the light and joy. Her children arise
and call her blessed; her husband also, and
he praiseth her. She early protested her
faith in Christ, and was member of the
Presbyterian Church at the time of her
death. Her sickness was brief and her
death unexpected, but she seemed to be
conscious of the approaching dissolution of
soul and body. Just few minutes before
she died she conversed with her husband
and then without struggle or a groan she
breathed her last as peacefully as one going
to sleep in Jesus. She looked as calm and
serene in death as she was once beautiful in
life. We trust that she was prepared for the
summons and that through the merits of
her Redeemer she has entered the mansions
of the blessed, where there "shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying neither
shall there be any more pain; because the
former things are passed away"

STORE!

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
err every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek-
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day generous sum he'd sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one pays
for printers ink. the greater is his gain.
