MARIETTA.

Nesting at the base of Kennesaw
Mountain, with artistic and elegant
homes and populated with a oultur-
ed, refined and christian people, Ma
rietta is indeed the Gem City" of
Georgia. With splendid schools, both
male and female, OF high order, and
all nature conspiring to bless and
beautify the towns environments,
making it attractive to the eye and
pleasing to the senses, there can be no
mystery why people fall in love with
our town and are 10th to leave it
when once they visit it. With fine
hotels to accommodate the people, its
fame as a winter and summer resort
has gone out abroad in the land and
our town annually receives a large
influx Of health-seekers, many from
the North and West who have bought
winter homes among US and some
have permanently located. This is
gratifying indeed OF course it is
not every section that has iron ore
and vast mineral deposits, as Bir-
ningham, Decatur, Chattanooga, &C.
dartown, Gainesville, Rome, Gads-
den and TaIlapoosa are favored, and
become the centres of iron furnaces,
but what nature withholds from one
locality she often bestows something
as compromising or better on another
and thus distributes her gifts fairly
if not impartially. While Birming-
ham has her iron, she also has her
malaria. Marietta has no iron mines
to give stimulus to erection Of fur
naces, but near by are mountains of
marble that has placed i'll operation
the largest marble works in America,
and with our mild and even climate
unsurpassed in the world for health,
with our pure tree-stone water that
sparkles and laughs in its clearness
and lnvigoratlng elements, with our
agricultural lands that are fertile in
harvests of wheat, corn, cotton, fruits
and flowers, are treasures infinitely
more to be priced than minerals and
malaria. Here we may invite health
seekers and hardy farmers from the
cold and inhospitable blizzard regions
of the North and West where they
can live long, be happy and prosper.
With the Inauguration of manufac-
turing enterprises, supplementary
to those We already have, we can Of
fer inducements that must gather a
thrifty, intelligent and industrious
population to aid in the development
and progress OF our section, town
and county. The JOURNAL feels en-.
couraged in this work by what has
already been accomplished and The
constant reception of letters from
people who wish to leave the frozer
regions of the North and West for ;
more genial climate. We write tt
them and send them sample copies
OF our paper and hope to be instru
mental in inducing soue of them t,
our sunny, oalubrious and incom
parable climate.

AFTER NEW PINE LANDS.

eve can get pine lumber from
Louisiana cheaper than from Chica-
60" recently remarked Kansas
City lumberman. This suggested an
investigation, and the result is to
show that lumber from Louisiana
costing but a few cents per one thou
sand feet in the tree can be shipped
to Kansas City, distance of seven
hundred miles, at "a freight rate Of
tweety three cents, whereas it costs
twenty-five cents to transport it the
same distance from the Menominee
mills. But the expense of manufac-
turing at present at least, is consid-
erably greater, as nature has not
provided the same logging facilities
in the south as in the north. New
ertheless, it is fact that many lum-
bermen of the north, taking long
look ahead and foreseeing the early
exhaustion OF northern forests, have
turned their attention to the forests
of the far south, and it will not many
years before their great mills and
armies of sturdy men are transferred
thither. One of the pioneers in this
new departure is A. G. Van Shack,
of Ludington, Van Shaich & Co.
When asked to explain the situation,
he said:
"Some three years ago Chicago
parties began buying pine lands in
the interior Of Louisiana, and o-day
own about 400 square miles, purchas-
ed at an average cost of $3.50 PEI
acre, or 10 cents a thousand feet fol-
lumber in the tree. About the same
time Muskegon parties bought 300
square miles in Mississippi at sub
stantially the same price. These
prices led other lumbermen, among
them myself, to visit the south and
explore the country, examine the To-
cation of the pine as to market facili-
ties, etc, and the result is that our
company, with the Kirby Carpenter
company, has, within the last eight
months, bought in Louisiana and Ar
kansas $4,000 acres of pine land.
This timber lies 700 miles from Kan
sas City, or the same distance our
Menominee mills are from that point,
and has been bought for one TWEEN
tieth Of what similar timber would
have cost us on the Menominee.
believe it is simply a question of
time-not to exceed twelve years
when the demand for lumber will
level up the value of the northern
and the southern pine. When the
l40, 900, 100000 Of uncut pine now
in the north shall have been cut, as
it will be within twenty years, what
will this southern pine be worth
That is the question many lumber
men have asked themselv es, and an
swered it by buying in the south.

The Chicago foor-walker who
stole $4,000 worth of dry goods was
actuated by desire to protect his
family if he should be thrown out
of employment. That is what he
says. He does not seem to have wor-

would do if he should be detected in
the theft. Had he felt very great
interest in the future of his family
he would have lived an honest life.

SINGULAR SITUATION.
Wheat Is Bulled Up at MiDneapo
lis on a Falling Market.

Millers and spectators are alike
pulling their heads to know why
wheat should hold mp SO high on fall
ing flour market. The mills arc Oh the
eve of closing down to await a rise in
the flour field, but in the face of this
wheat holds up as though heavy bull
movement were operative. Self-inter-
est is claimed TO be at the bottom of the
bulliSh feeling. and the Market Record
in discussing the situation says that
even among spectators it is quite com
mon TO find operators afraid to buy,
feeling the market to be above the plane
upon which it can safely rest, and yet
using every power of persuasion to
stimulate greater advance. There is

atively as high as it is here in Minneap-

sidered, except it be at cOun-
try stations back of here, slim

here. If the wheat to be ground here
were to be consumed here after being
turned into flour, and all competition
were at disadvantage of the cost Of
freight, there might be more excuse for
the faith in future results. Flour from

will bring in the Atlantic states, where
the bulk of it must eventually find
a market. Winter wheat flour
is selling relatively below the
prices of spring wheat -four and
the winter wheat millers are buying
wheat relatively cheaper. In their case
they find it no pleasant task to get the
money back they put into wheat, with
the moderate profit they have a right to
expect. g Admitting the crop in the
Northwest is short, that does not excuse
the prices that tie up the mills because
they cannot compete with other mills
anywhere in the world. 1t is quite
true that full prices must be paid in
order to save the wheat from going
away. But because that is so it does
not follow that it is credit to stimulate
that same competition to bid it mp. No
tice has been literally served upon the
outside competition that it may bid for
this wheat any price and it won't get it.
TO keep the Northwest mills running
the year round requires more wheat
than was raised this season. The eX-
traordinary prices paid for the crop
have been mainly the result of local
competition. Millers have bought the
wheat, snd having it can neither use it
nor send it away. On the contrary, the
wheat must be held until the world can
be persuaded, through sympathy OF the
pressure of famine, to come and get it's
