ing the cost. They take this work st these
low prices because they are reluctant to
leave town without an order, and with a
view of getting permanent customer and
then make it up on other orders, or give
short count or inferior goods We desire
| to say to our merchants and business men
that we will duplicate these prices rather
than the work should leave the town, even
| II we do not make a cent. These tramp
solicitors do not spend money here, but
take it away. We make our money here
and we spend it here. They do nothing to
help build up the town or sustain it. The
JOURNAL on the contrary is working for
Marietta and her people necessarily, We
think we should have the undivided pat
ronage of our people that we may be that
more enabled to work for the town and her
people. To have town paper it must be
supported, Patronize home people and
home industry. We give value received.

THE improvements madesin the post
Office are very perceptible as well as credit
able. Brass lock boxes have taken the
place of the wooden ones, the money order
department has been more conveniently
arranged, the register department has wire
railing more light has been let in by ad-
ditional windows in the building and glass
sash over the boxes, the interior is en-
larged, and private room provided for.
A double delivery window has been in
serted, one for ladies and the other for
gentlemen, a petition separating the two,
and an iron railing arranged protecting
from crowding. The wood work has been
painted cherry color and vanished,
while the interior is lighted at night by an
electric light. The public thank Mr. J. H
Hughes, the postmaster, and Prof F. L..
Freyer, the owner of the building for the
handsome manner in which they have fixed
up the postoffice. II compares favorable
with the post Office in any town of the size
of Marietta, where the private pocket, a nd
not the government, foots the bill. John
Kimball, colored, did some good painting
and deserves credit for his excellent work.
Mr.. Ford did the lettering in the Post
Office in his usual artistic style.

THERE must be enterprises put on foo
to give working men employment il
Marietta. The town lacking in these in
dustrial institutions cannot hold its popula
ton. People to remain in a place mus
have work. The necessities of a family are
pressing and must be met daily, and i
takes daily employment to earn the wages
to satisfy the claims of creditors. If oul
people slumber over this important matter
the town will make that progress she
ought and can.
B. R. Legg & Bro. will sell you an over
coat so cheap you can afford to buy il
even if you wont need it until fall.
Mr.. Joseph M. Brown, traffic manager
of the W. & A. Railroad has again favored
Marietta. Taking effect Jan. llth, the
rate on the 54-trip monthly book tickets for
trips between Marietta and Atlanta will be
reduced from 500 to 1925. None of the
other conditions affecting their sale or use
will be changed.
THE man who is true to himself in keep.
ing his word, in the conscientious discharge
OF what is right and duty, need not give
himself undue concern about the malice oil
carplng critics or the unreasoning prejudice
of enemies. To please everybody and
offend none would be difficult for angels,
let alone fallible man.
THE Enterprise Shoe and Hat House,
(Schlesinger, Page & Coz are stirring up
things in the shoe and time 1t is com
mon talk among the people that such bar
gains as this firm is giving them in good
qualities of shoes and hats were unheard OF
before this enterprising firm came to
Marietta. Mr.. j. N. Schlesinger, the
senior member of the firm is connected
with five large shoe manufactures OF
Massachusetts, and understands the shoe
business thoroughly. The firm do both a
wholesale and retail business in boots and
shoes, and we would advise all who are in
want of foot wear to visit their store and
see their large stock and learn their low
prices. Read their advertisement on last
page.
