AN IMPROVEMENT COMPANY.

"A land1mprovement company, backed
by energetic, enterprising men, would do a
great deal in putting Marietta and Cobb
county before the attention of home-see kers
and capitalists There is not town
making any progress in growth and wealth.
but what has an organization of this kind.
Rome, Gainesville, Tallapoosa, Gadsden,
Decatur, Birmingham and Chattanooga all
have active Land Improvement Companies,
and these companies have done work that
could not be accomplished any other way.
The strength OF concert Of action, is stimu-
ulated by the combined intelligence, energy
and money Of the many, which the few as
individuals never feel encouraged to under
take. A land improvement company might
not only be able TO give information as 10
our section, but induce capitalists to inaug-
urate manufacturing enterprises in our city,
the very life blood of permanent growth and
and stable values 1t is manufacturing en-.
terprises tina: are giving the cities mention
ed above their solid growth and prosperity
With the prospective outlet of the NJ. 4 N
Ga. Railroad to Knoxville, Marietta will
secure a competing line that will give us
cheaper reights, and there is no reason why
our town should not become the centre Of
numerous manufacturing enterprises.
With land improvement company, the
stock subscribed by our citizens and others,
funds would be raised to put some of these
needed enterprises in operation. We urge
this movement upon our citizens as some
thing that would be of incalcuIable benefit
to our town.

HILL CITY.

KEEP your eye on Rome. 1t is
the coming city of North Georgia.
Nature has done her part, and the
citizens of that live and enterprising
and beautiful city are doing their
part. 1t is truly city of hills and
bridges, lovely valleys and pictures
que scenery, rich in minerals and
great in possibilities. Water and
rail both afford ample transportation
for her products and commerce,
while energy and intelligence and
capital are pushing forward and
developing every resource that can
accelerate her progress and prosperi-
ty. We spent Saturday there and
nothing but kindness, courtesy and
hospitality were shown us by that
warm hearted, generous people.

GAS COMPANY.

Some of our most prominent and enter.
prising citizens have on foot the organizA
ton of the Marietta Gas and Electric Light
Company, with view of Lighting the streets
of the city and the homes and business
houses Of our people A stock company
will be formed, charter applied for, and all
will be given chance TO take stock the
shares being placed at about 500 The
history of gas companies is favorable. and
only in one instance in the United States
has failure marked the operation Of gas
plant, and that was due to rascaily methods
and not to honest management As an
investment gas companies pay, and the
stock is readily sought after by capitalists.
The success OF the present effort by our
citizens may be put down as a certainty.
The right men have hold of it and the mon
ey will be readily subscribed.

NEW HOTEL AND LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

EDS JOURNAL: hear great deal said
about new hotel, but hear of no united
action why not call mass meeting at the
Court House OF our citizens and find out
definitely whether they are ready to act
and not let il be all talk action is what is
wanted. Right here have one suggestion
to make, and that is instead of trying to
find some outsider to cooperate with the
plan Of the citizens make the proposition to
the proprietors of the Whitlock House
Mr.. Whitlock has, during the past ten
years, done more for Marietta than any one
man, has put out money and sent DR. Catch,
ell through the northwest to advertise our
city and has done ii successfully. and be-
lieve il fair proposition was made to the
Whitlock House proprietors that it would
be accepted by theH and then the right
men would have the reward, if there is to
be any in the scheme, for past efforts in b. :
halt of our city Try it any way. A mass
meeting is the first step.
Our Marietta Library Association which
every one must admit should be public, but
which in its present shape, is an institution
/ which we should foster and strengthen, is
not prosperous My plan would be to make
it public library and have the city assume
! it, and in order to support it require every
dog in the city to be tagged and the money
raised from such tagging applied to the
support of the library and the further ex
pense, if the tagging wasn't sufficient, to be
borne by the city. am dog owner and
tax payer and would gladly bear the extra
burden. CITIZEN
