capt. y. M. Wilson, Mr., j. Z. Holt, aged
SO years, The deceased was the father of
Mrs j. NJ. Wilson, and had been living
at this place for the past six years. He
had been married three times, his last
wife surviving him He was a member of
the Presbyterian Church during the best
part of his life, and was an Elder in that
Church % or 30 years. He was a man of
great learning and intelligence, whose
character was unspotted and whose life
has been one of usefulness. His funeral
took place at the residence OF Capt. J. NJ.
Wilson on Friday afternoon at O'Clock,
Rev. DE-. D. L. Buttolph officiating. AT.
ter which his remains were placed to rest
in the city cemetery.
The city tax returns for this year show
an increase in real estate of $73,625; an
increase in personal property Of 1872 1872;
total increase, $l66,s07. This will give an
increase in the city's revenue Of $593.92
This is very good showing, and is evil
dence that Marietta is making substantial
progress. This is a record that few towns
can excel. Marietta is growing and her
real estate holds its own in valuation Not
q dollar's worth of it can be bought at a less
price than quoted at last year when real
estate sales were more numerous. The
recent sales of suburban property by
Messrs. Holland & Gilbert, proves con-
tinued increase in valuation and demand
for resident property. Let our people
work and cooperate together, and we will
do better the coming year

cards. circulars, in fact anything in the

Our citizens should feel the importance
of building another hotel in Marietta to
accommodate winter visitors. The Whit
lock House must be resurrected from its
ashes and built larger and of brick. The
sooner this materializes, the better for
Marietta. We cannot expect winter visi
tors to come here in large numbers, if
there is inadequate hotel accommodations.
Townsville, Ga, has several large hotels,
and Others are demanded by the increas-
ing winter travel. Marietta cannot afford
to take back step in this respect, but
meet every demand made upon her. The
matter must not rest, but kept before our
people.
