tiamable, and we believe as a substitute
for jute, it is the very thing 1t weighs
two and half pounds to the yard, while
the jute weighs only two pounds. The
factory in North Carolina, so far has been

HE Mother Goose" entertainment at
Nichols Hall, Friday night, for the benefit
OF the Baptist Church, was attended by a
large audience. 1t was strictly juvenile
entertainment, save in the music which
was furnished by the Marietta orchestra.
The young folks acquitted themselves very
credltably. The exercises were short
and sweet, and owing to the breyity late
corners didn't make schedule time" as
promptly as the reliable Kennesaw route"
has the reputation of doing; but there is
boon(e) for every disappointment in life,
and the "sunhower scene was reneated
revealing the bright smiling faces and
twlnkhng eyes of the children amid the

sum was realized and everything passed
off pleasantly.

Towers, and said That's my snake, and
he picked up his toy serpent and carried
1t In to the house, while the drayman took
the broad grins, crawled back on his
dray and drove off, muttering, mo wonder
mudder Eve was deceived by de snake :;

looked at the little boy bearing off the
snake in his arms, and astonishingly artic-
ulated, "Well do declare Who would a
thought it."
