grow. There is no town in the State
more favorably situated, with more natural
advantages. Our agricultural resources
are boundless and far richer than the
western states, where civilization is crude
and settlements scattered, and advance
ment slow and costly. Our lands are
suitable for all kinds of farming products
and every desirable timber for manufac.
turing establishments. Minerals and
marbles abound Fruits and flowers grow
to perfection and all nature conspires to
make our town and county place of
peace and plenty, happiness and health.
There is no people more generous, manly
and noble. Those who come to Marietta
fall in love with the place and are 10th to
| leave it.
A BETTER location for a town than
that on which Marietta is built would be
hard to find. The business portion of
the town is located on kind of knoll
which gently slopes down to branches
which nearly surround the town at proper
distance from the square. These branches
all carry good quantities of water, and
make our natural drainage most ad-
mirable one. In addition to this, we have
a kind Of piedmont escarpment' to the
northwest of US which breaks the force
of the cold winds of winter, and wards off
any cyclones which might be disposed to
SCOOP down upon u.s.

Seals is most promising young vocalist
and her rendition of the selection was
artistic and charming She was compelled
to reappear in response to enthusiastic
applause and gave most delightful en-
core"
OUR young men are organizing mill
tary company and have enrolled quite a
number Of names. They propose to use
the old charter Of the Marietta Rifles, and
assume that name. We hope the organi-
zation will be successful. We need Just
such company here to develop that
military spirit, courage and discipline, as
will naturally follow. In case there should
rise riot or disturbance, our military
company would come in timely demand.

MARIETTA has more pretty young ladies
than any town Of its size in the state We
are aware that this has been stated before,
but as truth never grows old, we here re-
iterate it. Truth, by the way, is like some

been receiving company ever since we
were kids, and now look as young and
pretty as they did then. We are glad that
like truth, they never grow old.
