STILL IMPROVING.
A Bright Outlook for Marietta.

Some times it is the case that in the
summer months, when the farmers are
busy, and not much trade going on, some
of our merchants will get the blues, but
when the fall trade opens and cotton be-
gins to roll in, the streets crowded, debts
are paid, money begins to circulate, and
business brisk, they feel like they had
borrowed good deal of trouble in the
summer, in fact had tried to cross the
bridge before they had reached it. Mariet-
ia has never receded since the war, but
has slowly, surely and steadily gone for
ward, improved and enlarged. She will
continue to do so, Notwithstanding croak-
ers some times predict otherwise. 1t is
the active, enthusiastic men who build up
place-men of energy and thrift There
is not an empty store building in town,
but on the contrary when new conner or
anybody else want to 60 in business in
Marietta, he has to buy somebody out at
good figure and something extra to get
store. Several new stores have been
built and they are all occupied.
New Improvements are to be seen on
every hand. Hon. A. S. Clay has Just
finished magnificent two story twelve
room house on Atlanta street, which will
cost him about So, OOO Mr.. John Yale is
building two story $1,000 house on
George street, leading east from Atlanta
street; DR.. VIM. Aston will build an
elegant residence on the same street, as
will also Rev. " E. Manget. A gentle.
man from Atlanta will buy one On the
same street, and will build handsome
cottage. Mr.. II. D. McCutcheon has lust
improved his residence on Atlanta street
very much, at cost of 81, 900. Col. R. N.
Holland has just completed FIVE tenement
houses on Green street Col. z. Faw is
building an elegant residence on Roswell
street. Two new cottages have just been
finished on street in rear OF the Methodist
church. Prof. F. l.. Freyer has just
finished another story to his elegant
residence on Cherokee street. Mr.. Jack
Barnes has added another room and
otherwise improved his residence on
| Cherokee street Kennesaw Mills Com.
pany are building two neat room cottages
on street il. front of Mr.. W. A. McCrea's
The Electric Light Company is building a
plant on street near Kennesaw Mills. Mr..
Chuck Anderson is extending his livery
stable by two story brick addition. Mr..
Irvine Smith has commenced an 8
room, elegant, two story residence on
Whitlock Avenue. Mr.. j. Cundell, OF
Rome, was in the city on Tuesday and he
is hopeful of starting furniture factory
in Marietta after this seasons trade is
over. Several gentlemen say that they
propose to build guano factory here and
probably add an oil mill if the Brady bill
is not passed. The movement to build a
new hotel for Northern tourists to winter
here is still being agitated, and that will
eventually materialize. Mr.. W. E. Gram
ling is going to build a two story brick
carriage factory on Cemetery street. We
understand that the American Marble
Company will increase their force, as
trade is growing and the factory is in
better business shape than ever. With
these facts before us, we think the outlook
for Mar;ettas future is bright and en-
couraging. Alive have to do is to talk
and work for our town and she will keep
steadily growing
fyou can't say good word for the
town, don't say anything.
