| aged 90 years She was a most eStlmable
woman, and hand in hand has walked

life. A true and devoted wife and loving

The Convention of the Young Men S
Christian Association, which met in Atlanta
recently, stirred up Atlanta and brought
within its folds earnest workers. We learn,
! Col Evan P. Howell and Henry Grady,

Gus meetings and influencing many of their
associates to 60 along with them These
two gentlemen have put their shoulders to
the wheel and are successfully raising the
desired amount to build $4,000 building
for the Y. NJ c. Association in Atlanta.
To lead in such noble cause is worthy of
the ambition of any man. and we congratu
late these gentlemen on throwing their in
fiuence on the side of virtue, intelligence
and religion. 1t was good news to their
friends and wel-wishers in this community.

The public meeting, in the interest of
building male ACADEMY, will be held to-
night Thursday at o'clock at the Court
House. All philosophical citizens, who
have the educational interest of Marietta
at heart, will put themselves to the trouble
to attend. The committee is ready to report
and feel like they have plan to submit for
consideration that will meet with approval

us go to work and build it. Concert of ac-
tons is absolutely essential to success. Be

The bad behavior of some boys at the
Methodist Church, during religious services.
recently has made it necessary for the
preachers to publicly rebuke them, painful
as it was to have to do so. If boys would
only remember that the disturbance of rer-
glous worshipis violation of law, and that
they render themselves liable to be indicted
II reported to the Grand Jury, they surely
would regulate their conduct in accordance
with good manners boy in Gainesville
Ga for talking in church. recently had to
pay fine of fifty dollars, and another boy
had to run away to escape the same penalty.

D. A. Pope, of Canton, was taken with
the cramp collie last week and he thought he
was going to die. He prayed if God would
give him relief he would abandon his sinful
life and be better man. Relief came and
true to his word he went to Hightower
Church near by, meeting being in progress,
| and Joined the Church then and there. Ben
Perry hopes if he backslides that he may
take the cramp collie again If cramp collie
will convert sinners, Marietta needs big
case of cramp collie.

Many of our business men seem to think
that because times are dull, there is no use
in advertising. This is a great mistake
When business is dull then is the time to
push it. The men who keep the public post
ed in regard to their stocks and the induce
ments they offer to their customers, will al
ways get the cream Of trade Live business
men may always be known by the manner
in which they keep their busin ess before the
people.

of than at any period in recent years. And
some people make this an excuse of not
paying their debts,
