kirkpatrick on Whitlock Avenue, and

will also erect suitable buildings tor the
manufacture of proprietary medicines,
which be has already established repu>
tation for in the west. He is man of
means and will prove valuable acquisi-

health Of his wife, he was forced to leave
Kansas. Marietta had been recommend

1t is only necessary to take jaunt off
to other towns occasionally, to make you
feel that your own town is the best of all.
The contrast is so striking, and you see so
much that is not as favorable as your own
towns advantages, that you are impressed
with the fact that your own home town is
doing as well, in many instances better as
any town of like size anywhere. Marietta
has the healthiest climate, is the best stu.
ated, has richer agricultural tributaries,
more durable basis of prosperity, than you
will find in days railroad journey All
our people have to do is to unite and push
every projected enterprise and work for
the up5rilding of the town and county and
there will be no cause of encouragement
or disaster. We have the fairest and best
section in the South.

Mr.. E. G. PIERCE. General Superirtend-
ent of the North Georgia Improvement
company, in the construction of the ex-
tension of the NJ & N. G. Railroad to

few days before. He had the la-grippe,
which developed into fever, resulting in
his death. He leaves family Mr..
Peirce was most excellent gentlemen, of
fine business qualifications and esteemed

If our citizens could induce Mr.. Flagler
to visit Marietta, we believe he would be
so well pleased that he would do as much
for our towh as he has St. Augustine, Fla,
town that owes her present growth and
beauty to the immense amount OF money
he has invested there in hotels, residences
and churches. he has paved the streets
with asphalt, built parks and fountains and
beautified the town in many attractive
ways. If he would invest here to catch
Northern tourists "homeward bound" it
would give an impetus to our town that
would be marvellous.
If any of our readers should ever pur>
pose to invest in an orange grove in Flor
ida, be sure that said grove is located near
one or more of the numerous lakes that
abound in that state. We were informed
while there that these lakes were of great
protection to orange groves in close prox-
unity, in that they attract the frosty air
and thereby relieve the trees of the nipping
frost. No sign Of damrge is to be seen in
the orange groves so situated, while those
remote from the lakes are often blighted
and killed
