VETERANS HOME.

The Atlanta Constitution is en-
gagged in commendable and praise
worthy work to raise by volunteer
subscriptions $4,000 to build a
Confederate Veterans Home in
Georgia, where the aged, infrm,
and impoverished Confederate sol
dlers can be sheltered and provided
tor. This IS is an act of simple JUS
tice to the brave ana worn out vet
Grams who spent their best manhood
in defense of home and country.
Let them not be beggars among
strangers, nor neglected among
friends, but let the generosity of our
people assert itself in deeds. The
home is needed and a more benevo-
lent act could not be shown than in
the purchase of home for their
comfort and shelter. With no gov
eminent to pension them, our peo-
pie even in their poverty, can do
this much for the ragged remnants
of humanity who followed the flag
that is forever furled, and thus to
feeble extent show our gratitude
and love Tor their devotion and val
or, when a common cause bound US
in common sympathy. Marietta
should respond to this call and
swell the already large amount sub
scribed for this purpose. DIR. B. l..
Mcintosh, of this place, sent fifty
dollars to the Constitution for the
''home," and others will no doubt
initiate his example.

LET 1T BE REBUILT.

The burning OF the Whitlock House on
last Saturday was a calamity that Marietta
can ill-afford That it must be rebuilt, all
are agreed. Let the Smith LOT be bought
and added to the Whitlock lot and build
thereon a $50 room house. 1t can be fill
ed easily Ifsuch hotel is built it will
prove great benefit to Marietta Mr.. Whit
lock has a widespread reputation and is
the man tc make a success of it
Recognizing the fact as we all must do,
that the Whitlock House has done more
towards building up Marietta than any
other interest, we earnestly desire to say
that if our citizens want to come for raid
and by united effort build large and bet
ter appointed hotel in every way, now is
the time to do it. We would suggest the
calling OF pubic meeting at once, look
ing toward that most desirable end. Mr.
Whitlock has done more than his share
towards Marietta's prosperity and should
and will receive the support and encour
agement OF our people in building larger
and better house. Mr.. Whitlock invested
his all in the hotel, without help from
Marietta, and lost it, now let US show that
we appreciate his work and aid him in
rebuilding more magnificent building.

WIND AND FLAME.

South Dakota and Minnesota last
week were swept by billiards. and
prairie fires. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of property were
destroyed and = number of lives
lost. Several villages and hundreds
of farmers houses were wiped out
OF existence. The towns almost
completely destroyed are Violin,
Olivet, Pukawana, Lesterville and
Mount Vernon, and three or four
other villages were damaged. Sheep,
cattle and horses were burned up
by the raging prairie fires as the
wind storm blew the fire over the
prairie. In other places the crops
we're covered with loose sand and
dust and will have to be replAnted.
The sun was obscured and many
superstitious people thought the
end of the world had come. The
losses in South Dakota will foot up
two million dollars. Why will peo-
pie go to such country, when they
can come to Marietta and North
Georgia, where billiards. and..prairie

GO SOUTH YOUNG MAN.

Frederick Taylor, banker of New
York, who accompanied Messrs.
Cooper, Hewitt and Inman on their
recent trip South, gives his impress
sions of that section to the Manu-
facturer's Record. Taylor states
that the South was revelation to
him.
cit seemed to me" says Taylor,
that we travelled through a contin-
uous and unbroken strain of what
has been aptly termed the music of
progress, the whir of sspindles,
the buzz of saws, the roar OF fur
naces and the throb of locomotives. !"
The young men of the south, Tay-
lor accords high praise for the work
which they ale doing, and to 'eager,
earnest, restless, driving energy
which seem to fill them
The South, says Taylor, ''to my
mind is only now on the threshold
of its boom. 1t has every possible
advantage, everything that God csn
give. The New South has been
built up by the indomitable energy
and by the hard work of the South
erners themselves" And he adds
"to any young man to-day with
pluck and grit, with the world
before him and his fortune to make,
| should say, go South young man,
go South"
