ROSWELL.

On Sunday evening the l1th inst, Rev. Dr. Rob-
insOn delivered . forcible and impressive sermon
on Temperance, at the Methodist church. This
Was in compliance with q request from the good
Templars ledge ct this place, whose members we're
present in full force, each one wearing an EN-.
blematic badge of pure white. The music was ap-
propriately selected and we'll rendered, and the
attendance unusually large. Citing the anthem
tic record Of drunkenness together with other
notable cases from the Bible as q basis The Doc
tor began his discourse with a charge to the order
there represented. Then the evils Of that great
curse were wildly portrayed in language and
manner that eyinced careful and thorough prep
aration, addressing the ladies in conclusion, he
made an appeal for their aid in the vital cause of
Temperance. The occasion was one Of great inter-
est, and will doubtless be conducive of good re-
suits to the community.
Last Friday night, and unknown committee of
public spirited citizens did some efectua work on
many of the bridges along the sidewalks, which
isworthy OF more than.a passing Comment. Hav-
ing neglected to replace some of them particularly
where most needed, painful and serious accident
might have resulted to say nothing of the trouble
and annoyance which it caused. Such occurances
are not uncommon here, and if the city authori-
ties fail to repay such uniting Iaborers they are
likely to continue. Now let us all unite in advis-
ing the council to enlarge the academy, to pass a
local stock-law, or to enclose and beauify the city
park.
The Cobb county Sunday School Convention
convened here Saturday and Sunday. 1t was
well attended, and the session was pleasant, in
teresting and beneficial one. Marietta was we'll
represented, and majority of that delegation
acting in accordance with our announcement in
the last issue, spent part of the time very pleas
antly enjoying the flowers and scenery about the
factory and creek. They were perfectly carried
away with the magnolias. which are now in their
glory, that is, literally, the magnolias, in large
numbers were carried away with them.

FURNITURE FACTORY.
LET US BUILD ONE IN MARIETTA

We have repeatedly urged the
building of a furniture factory in
Marietta. Some OF our citizens,
equally interested in the matter,
have lately been Investigating the
probable cost ofmachinery, and 9TH
er matters connected with its estab-
lishment. They are pleased with
the Information they have obtained,
and feel assured that furniture
factory in Marietta would pay hand
somely. They feel SO much encour-
aged in regard to the. enterprise
that they are willing to cooperate
with cur citizens, Or any one else,
in the establishment of a factory
here. They are willing to put money
and time into it. The stock company
should be strong one, with ample
capital to establish and run it.
Marietta is well situated for it. A
good site can be purchased on the
railroad at a small cost, two rail-
roads are accessible, timbers can be
had in abundance, and polished
marble can be procured at the mill
at this place at a very reasonable
cost. A great saving can be had in
this last article by the factory here.
We trust that enough of our citizens
can be interested in this movement
to raise the money and go to work
at once. There can be no doubt of
it being made a success if properly
managed, and there are men here
capable of managing it SO as to
secure the best results. Marietta
needs just such enterprises to in
crease her population, to add to the
trade Of our merchants, and occupy
houses for rent. We do not under
estimate the value of new hotel,
but factories Of this kind will give
us permanent citizens, while a hotel
only affords accommodation to those
who re naln with us but q few weeks
at a time. Let us build the hotel
and the furniture factory, and
thereby add to the general prospect
ty Of the town.

TENNIS CLUBS.
ATLANTA AND MARIETTA PLAY A
MATCH GAME.

The Gate City and the Gem City Tennis
Clubs are playing series of games. The
first game was played in Atlanta several
weeks ago, in which game the ladies of
the Gate City Club won, but the gentlemen
Of the Gem City Club came out victorious.
The second game of the series was played
in this city last Friday afternoon. The
Gate City Club arrived on the 2:23 train,
in special Pullman car The club is a
splendid one and is composed of the very
best citizens of Atlanta. They were met
at the train by the Gem City Club. VINO
had the large picnic wagon and the wagon
cite ready to convey them to the grounds.
Among the visitors were seen Mr.. and
Mrs. HARRISON, Mrs. Raine, Mrs. Newman,
Misses Clarke, Maude, Matte and Lilly
Slaton, Laura and Dollie Colquitt, Cor
don, Raine, Tiny and Lille. Hammond,
and Nessrs. Peter and John Grant, An
gier, Gardner, McGecher, Maddox, Peters,
Forman, Davis, Peoples, McElveen, Berry,
Knox1 Post, Sludder, Paine, Hall and
Campbell
The game was called promptly at p.
M, at which time Messrs. Angler and
Gardner of the Gate City Club, stepped
upon the court, with Messrs. Coryell and
Whitlock as their opponents. On the 9TH
er courts, were seen Misses Hammond and
Gordon of the Gate City Club, while Misses
Josie Sibley and Georgia Northcutt faced
them to uphold the reputation OF the Gem
city Club. The game was close one and
very interesting. Messrs. -, of Att
lanta, and E. H. Meyers OF Marietta, were
the referees. The boys Of the Gate City
came out victorious, while in the other
game the ladies' of the Gem City wore the
laurels. After drive over the city the
party returned to the Elmwood where
at o'clock they were served an elegant
supper. Vases of flowers artistically arrang-
ed decorated the tables, and finer supper
was never served, 1t was one that would
have graced royal reception in the land
of her majesty. 1t was plainly shown that
they had exercised much care and taste in
preparing this feast.
1t was an occasion enjoyed by all.
The Marietta Silver Cornet Band dis.
coursed music at the tennis grounds and
Elmwood. The band boys are making
rapid progress and displayed considerable
skill considering the short time they have
been practicing.
The party left for home on the 1920
train. 1t seemed that words were not at
their command to fully express their thanks
and appreciation of the royal treatment
they had received.
