WANT TO GO.
The COlored People Hold Another Colo.
nization Meeting.

The colored people held another coloni-
cation meeting at the court house, in this
place, On Saturday night. There was
large crowd present and they were address
ed by Peck and Holmes Whenever there
was an allusion to the colored people being
separated from the whites and colonized in
a territory where they could have their own
government and live under their own vine
and fig tree, there was enthusiastic ap
plause. The object of the meeting was to
stir up interest in the colonization scheme
and make it a national movement. They
propose to get signers to petition to con-
gress, asking the enactment of a law to
provide for their cOlonizationin some north
western territory. The speakers were very
conservative in their remarks, nothiug of
an infammatory character being said.
They said that it was wrong and unnatural
tor two such distinct races to try to live
together in peace. That God had given
every nation continent of their own.
That the African had his home, but that
his children had been stolen and ABDUCTED
and sold into slavery by northern people to
the southern people. In the Providence
OF God they had been liberated from bond
age A new state of affairs had been
brought into existence-the old slaves
could live in peace with the whites but a
new generation had come up, who did not
have the same feeling Tor one another that
the old generation entertained, and owing
to certain laws and race determinations
there would be clashing and it was better
for sensible people to look at this matter
in proper light, and as God would have
1t, and agree to a separation of the Ethio-
pean and Caucasian races. This was the
white mans country, and by colonizing in
western territory they would have
black mans country. That while it would
bring tears to their eyes to have TO part
with many of their white friends here, vet
it were better to shed tears of friendship
In parting, than to remain and probably
shed drops OF blood in anger. The speakers
seem to apprehend that the rising genera
ton of negroes would not submit to race
discrimination by the whites, and that to
remain conflict would be inevitable, and
that it was the duty of congress to provide
against such calamity by giving them a
territory of their own, and like the Indian
territory, enact laws to keep the white man
out
A large number signed the petition me-
moralizing congress to this effect. Now,
as this movement has been started by the
colored people, why not the whites join in
and aid them to carry out their wishes ?
This would be solution of the race prob
lem in the south that would be devoid of
bloodshed 1t would indeed be the part
of wisdom to settle this vexed question on
such amicable terms.

MEMORIAL SERVICE.
In Respect to the Memory of DR.. H.
III. Tucker.

On last Sunday night memorial service
Was held at the Baptist church. in respect
to the memory Of DR.. 81. q. Tucker, who
died recently in Atlanta. Addresses were
delivered by Rev. Dr. D. L. Buttolph, of
the Presbyterian church; Prof. Sanford,
who was associated with DR.. Tucker as a
teacher for seventeen years at Mercer; Col.
w. K. Power. of the Methodist church
who was student at the State University
when DR.. Tucker was chancellor; by Capt.
John Milledge of Atlanta, who wasaa
bosom friend of the deceased, and by Rev.
g, S. Tumlin, pastor of the Baptist church
1t was related by Mr. Tumlin, that DR..
Tucker had told him that he was pastor of
the Marietta Baptist church, long before
the war, having accepted a call and
preached probably two weeks, when rela,
tive died in southwest Georgia and he had to
resign and settle upa large estate. All the
addresses to the memory of this great man
were eloquent with love and affection,
touchingly beautiful and appropriate. AS
minister, educator, author and editor, DR..
Tucker was without peer and filled all
these distinguished positions with fidelity
and brilliancy. Thoroughly consecrated
to God in all his work, he had a measure
oftaith and grace that strengthened him in
every conflict and crowned his labors with
success. 1t is said that he requested that
no eulogy should be paid him at his grave.
How characteristic of the man. No eulogy
was necessary to those who knew him.
His life was Giving epistle known and
read Of all men" and his love for man was
as irrepressible as the light OF the sun.
The fragrance of the good deeds he has
performed live after him and will be treas
ured as sweet incense of one of Gods no.
blest men-an honest man.
Resolutions of respect were introduced
by Mr. A. W. York, which were unani-
mously adopted. The memorial service
was!very interesting and fruitful OF good,
in that it held up grand Christian man.
life as worthy of imitation.

A NEW HOTEL.
A Generous Proposition that Should be
Accepted.

The importance of new hotel in Ma
rietta, rightly situated, to accommodate
Northern visitors, who spend the winters
South, is being talked about constantly.
1t is need and it must come soon or
later. Our enterprising friend, Mr. Erwin
Maxwell, says if our people or any one
else, will build hotel here OF one hun.
dred rooms, he will donate desirable and
beautifully situated lot for the purpose,
and will aid in experimenting it's con-
struction free of charge and will agree to
lease and run the hotel as soon as it is
completee. This is very generous offer
and shows the right kind of public spirit
on the part Of Mr.. Maxwell. Now if our
people are DESTROYS of seeing this enter
prise consummated, now is the time for
them to act As fine an offer will not be
made soon again. Mr.. Maxwell is an old
hotel man. and by his experience and
widespread reputation would be enabled
to fill every room with winter and summer
boarders. Marietta could reap a rich
harvest in the increased trade by hotel
OF this magnitude. 1t would stimulate
business and give new life to every indus
try. Let us seize this opportunity and
show that we appreciate this generous offer
and are willing to do something in secur.

SOUTHERN MUTUAL BUILDING AND

An Enterprise to Build up Marietta.

Southern Mutual Building and Loan AS

do much good in our town, if our citizens
will only take hold of it and work up a
large and thriving association 1t gives us
every advantage of local association right

advantage of a great deal of surplus capi.

ton to run out is 81 months. He will then
pay Sc per month for SO months making a
total Of $498 or total of $508 inclrding the
membership fee. At the end of seven
years his stock is worth $1,000, a profit OF
1892 or double the money though it has
been paid in small installments. A better
investment in our opinion could not be
made by young men who could save a
small amount monthly. If a party wishes
