COMING TO COBB.
CAPITALISTS AND HOME SEEKERS
Are Making Enquiries About our
Fair Domain and IncOmpar-
able Climate.

There is no mistake that the re-
strictions and barriers that have d.
verted immigrants from the South
and emptied them into the lap of the
blizzardly North invest, have been
broken down to large extent, ard
the emigration to that cold region
has been practically overdone.
Thousands of these people are wait
ing and watching for opportunities
TO better their conditions, and our
splendid resources and inviting eli
mate are attractions that are ire
sistible
The Industrious agriculturist is
coming!
The enterprising capitalist is
coming,
This conclusion is result of in
evitable hardships that people will
not contentedly rest under, when
there is way of escape.
1t is no longer westward the
Empire takes it way but it is
"Southward to the Empire State of
Georgia"
The development Of this fair. do
main--grand old North Georgia
augurs we'll for future achievements.
The people are enthusiastic and con-
fdent. This gives inspiration that
is indomitable.
The coming fall will witness a
tide of men and money to this Sec
ton, as has never been seen before.
From Atlanta to Chattanooga
from Marietta to Murphy,-there
are grand possibilities of material
wealth that must and will be devel-
oped. Letters of enquiry are con-
stantly being received in regard
thereto.
Cobb county will come in tor a
share Of this quickening life blood
which will drive sluggards to activi-
ty and croakers to their holes. For
it means wealth and growth.
Travel is being cheapened on all
railroads. The ball was set in mo-
ton by that far-seeing and brainy
young man, Mr.. Joseph NJ. Brown,
Of the w. & A. r. R., in cutting
down passenger rates, thus giving to
the poor, as we'll as to the rich, cheap
travel. 1t is having its result, as
the stream of travellers over the
Kennesaw route is plainly evil
dent. This is in itself a big adj
vertisement for our section. Besides
this Mr.. Brown is portraying the
beauties Of our town and section in
real inviting colors, true to facts.
This but prompts good wishes to
Mr.. Brown and success to his relia-
Die road. But outside of this the
rich deposits OF minerals in North
Georgian marble, slate, coal, iron,
manganese, gold, copper, tale, soap
stone, &C., are too tempting to idle
capital which is seeking profitable
investments. Our incompatible
climate, pure water, and fine agri-
cultural lands adapted to grain, cot
ton, vegetables. fruits and flowers,
invite and will induce a greater in
fux Of people who want to enjoy
these God-given blessings, and es-
cape the death-dealing billiards and
devastation of property of an un-
propitious climate in the North and
Northwest.
Our citizens are alert, and with a
little more unity and cooperation
and liberality of purse in advertis-
ing our town, there would be az
celebration of growth.
Rest assured the JOURNAL will
be no laggard in this good work,
but will il the future as in the
past, use its best endeavors to pro-
mote every interest and foster every
enterprise that looks to the general
good and the peoples prosperity

A COTTON FACTORY.
LET US UTILIZE OUR RAW NATE.
RIAL
BY Building Cotton Factory in Mari
eta.

Shall we have manufacturing en-
terprises in Marietta, or will we
content ourselves by simply being a
resort for summer and winter visi-
tors? This latter is good it is true,
and we all feel grateful % benefi-
cent Providence for such natural
advantages that make our town
healthy and inviting, inducing each
season a large number of visitors.
But can we not inaugurate enter
prises that will supplement and aug
ment our town prosperity and
growth? Would not cotton facto-
ry be a desirable auxiliary that
would pay handsomely and enhance
values and put money in circulation
among our merchants? 1t seems so
to us.
LaGrange is building cotton
factory to cost S150,000. Dallas,
Ga, is building a $4,000 cotton
factory. The cotton factory at Grit
I'm paid % per cent. dividend last
year and it is thought it will do the
same this year. This is so encour-
aging that some time ago new
stock company was formed and an
other large factory is being built at
Griffin.
If cotton factories pay and are
good for other towns, why wouldn't
they pay and be good for Marietta
We don't know any reason to the
contrary. The Importance CT these
manufacturing enterprises right
where the raw material is produced
and delivered for shipment, is some
thing that should be considered ia
vorably to the building Of cotton
factory in Marietta. Our moneyed.
men could not find better place to
put their money. There is not a
cotton factory in the South but
what is doing well. Some of the
Eastern mills are thinking of com
ing South with their plants owing
to our superior climate where they
can run in winter time without so
much expense. Besides they want to
come where the raw material grows.
save transportation of shipping cot
ton to them and the reshipping of
the same back to the South in man.
ufactured fabrics.
Our people are enterprising in
Railroad building, in buying and
selling real estate and selling mer-
chandise. Would not money put
in manufacturing channels pay as
well and prove as satisfactory? We
urge consideration and concert of
action of this matter. There is
more in it than may be imagined at
first blush. There is no good rea-
son why Marietta shouldn't have
cotton factory, if our people will
only pull together and determine to
do so. Nothing is accomplished
without determination and persever-
ance.
Let us put Marietta forward in
manufacturing and industrial enter
prises, and thus combine splen-
did natural advantages as summer
and winter resort with steam and
machinery, and our growth will be
phenomenal.

REV FATHER EMARD.
Delivers Very Interesting Lecture to
 the French Catholics,

the French Catholics.
 At the general demand and wishes of the French population of Waterbury, a committee of five of the representative French business men, Messrs George Par meton, J. B. Vallee, J. Lamontagne, G. Saucier and J. Thibault, waited on Rev J. NJ. Emard directly after his discourse at the laying of the corner stone of the new church Sunday and asked him as a favor to the French people of Waterbury to delay his departure home long enough to allow him to deliver a lecture on some sub ject of interest to themselves. The rev erend gentleman acquiesced in their desires and last evening at the rink building de lighted one of the largest audiences the building has ever had. The subject of the lecture was: 'Unity in Family as Well us Society,"" It is no exaggeration to say that Father Emard is one of the most eloquent orators that has ever spoken before a Waterbury audience, and the manner in which he handled his subject proves him to be un- surpassed as an impromptu speaker. He has that important factor necessary to an orator of ability, to draw from his listeners the closest and most sympathetic attention. The Rev Father has apent three years of his life in Rome and recounted with ac- curate skill the trials and tribulations of the supreme head of the church. Tears of sympathy were drawn from the eyes of his audience as he recounted the death of Pios the ninth, prisoner in his own domain, shut in from the aid or assistance of the anxious Catholics of the whole world But suddenly the tears give way to smiles and laughter as Father Emard recount ed some happy anecdote or Imaginable event in connection with his sojourn abroad. Such command has Father Emard over his audience that he carried them with him in every occurrence, shedding tears of sympathy one moment and the next while the tears still glisten in their eyes, screaming with laughter. Rev Father Emard has created warm feeling for himself in Waterbury and returns to his home with the best wishes of the many friends he made while here.

The hostler wanted S4 and said at the same time that he could go on the cars. Sawyer answered that he was a relative of the Birmingham Sawyers, the mill owners, and he had business on the road which he could not attend to if he went by the cars.

 The ''kindergarlen."
 The Kindergarten, musical comedy by George o. Morris, member of the New lork Herald editorial staff written to amuse the public and the author, has un- doubtedly met with success, as it is one of the few comedies that sends the audience away satisfied. The singing is beautiful and the musical selections are splendid, new and catchy. Seldom is such an utter abandonment of mirth seen in any per formance. A man ill the very jaws of destruction would be compelled to laugh at the Kindergarten. No words can paint it's ludicrousness, no description can approach the reality of its performance The company is exceptionally strong, having been carefully selected to lit each character. The charming little soubrette, Katie Hart, grows more and more pleasing every day Afford Mcdowell, the young and popular comedian, also shares the honors. The other members of the com pany include several old favorites, among whom are: Fred Mendoza F. S. Sandford, k. A. Archer, John Byrne, Ida L. Abrams, Gussie Hart and others.

ST NIARY'S SCHOOL.
Over Six Hundred Pupils Apply For Ad-
 mission This Morning.


 The new parochial school on Cole street was opened this morning under the most favorable auspices and with almost un heard of success. Before noon Gil scholars had reported for admission and the morn ing was spent in grading them off for the twelve rooms which will be filled. There are at present eight Sisters of Charity in charge. But this morning Father Mulcahy left for Madison, New Jersey, to secure if possible four more, making twelve in all. The scholars range in age from to 10 years and are all taken from the lower and grammar grades It's expected that before the week is out fully 750 scholars will be enrolled.
 Of course the immense enrolment list of the new schools pulleds2 heavily on the public schools. Fully one-half of the pupils of the Ridge street school left to attend the parochial school, etfectually cleaning out four of the eight rooms. A large number are yet expected to leave. About 200 were taken from the Elm street building, and Weltonsstreet, Clay street, Bishop street and the High school suffered a loss of about 200.
 The school itself is really fine building. The rooms are elegantly appointed, the ventilation and heating perfect, the cell ings lofty and the light the best. while the spacious grounds put all thoughts of crowding out of the question. The grounds and buildings are furnished with the latest Improvements ill the sanitary line and taken all together the school is one to be proud of. The books used are from the house of O'Shea & Go, but whether they will be furnished free is not yet de termined
 Some doubt is expressed as to whether the four extra sisters can be secured, as it is expected that they have their arrange nents for the winter already we'll under way, if not completed, and in this ease it is probable that some of the local Catholic teachers will be able to secure positions there
 Most of the public schools were opened to-day also, but in the schools within the immaculate Conception parish little work was done, the time being spent in re ar ranging the scholars, after the heavy draft made by the parochial school In the 1 High and Elm street schools about so new 1 scholars were enrolled. The Ridge street school will in all probability be partially l closed.
