TRANSFORMED INTO A STATUE.

A special dispatch from Column
bus, o., says: "a remarkable
story of petriGcation of human re-
mains comes from Youngstown.
Mrs. John Cregan died here March
Is, 1888, and her body was buried
in the village cemetery. Her hus-
band, wishing to remove the body
to another grave, caused it to be
exhume6 last week. On reaching
the outer box containing the coffin
the diggers found it filled with wa
ter. The coffin was intact, but they
were surprised at its enormous
weight. They concluded to lift it
to the surface before opening it,
though it required the united efforts
of six men to hoist it.
"The lid being removed, the tea-
lures of Mrs. Cregan were disclosed,
and there was scarcely a sign Of de-
composition. There was a slight
discoloration Of the flesh, but this
could be readily washed away. The
eyes were closed, the mouth was
firmly shut and the hands lay across
the breast, just as when the body
was placed in the grave. The cloth
ing had decayed, but the body was
completely petrifed. So perfectly
had the process gone forward that
it had nodded in natures fashion a
statue in perfect resemblance Of
Mrs. Cregan. A scapular which
she had worn about her neck was
distinctly reproduced, and the let
tiers [. H. S. thereon could be plain
ly read. The soil OF this burying
ground seems to be peculiarly
adapted to petrifying organic bodies,
number of cases being reported in
which bodies buried in it have been
found covered by petrescent matter,
but this is the most extraordinary OF
all. 1t is case of absolutely com
plete and perfect petrifcation."

WE NEED A HOTEL.
THIS SHOULD BE In THE WANT
COLUMN.

EDITORS JOURNAL We need a
hotel, and We need it very much.
This we hear every day, from our
own bankers, merchants, real estate
and livery men, also our physicians
and attorneys, and every one inter-
ested in our city's growth.
Why don't you build hotel? is
the cry of our visitors. We have a
hotel and a good one, but this leaves
US still in need Of another. One
particularly for visitors, who come
to spend a season with us; one
built in the town, still not in the
heart OF the city; one built on an
eminence, with old Kennesaw in
view, with large grounds and shade !;
a home for the invalid, the traveller,
and all who want to enjoy the finest
climate in America; with the very
best table, beds and service. Give
all these to the people and get a
good price and this class of a hotel,
giving value received, and you will
see that no one will help more to
make Marietta, than its patrons.
We will then find ourselves the
Ashville of Georgia, with visitors
from far and near its boarding
houses filled; its real estate selling;
all wearing better clothes and buy
ing better groceries and more OF
them. The visitors will care for
physicians and druggists. We shall
see Marietta thrive as it should and
never has. But / need not write
more on the advantages, as they are
apparent to all. Now, others are
not going to build this house for ns.
Then, why not get together, and by
a little concession from all, when
required and full" determination to
succeed. Keep the ball in motion
and we will have our hotel.
Yes, it will succeed, if all will
unite, to make it do so, and it will do
more tor the prosperity and growth
of Marietta than any enterprise we
can undertake. 1t will bring capt.
tai to US, and in this be the means
of starting other industries. In
union there is strength. By using
this maxim we shall have our hotel,
and all will bless the day. Now
consider this well. Keep it in your
mind. Talk it at home, to your
friends, and then act, every one, and
it will be the best investment you
ever made. ENTERPRISE.

Merit Wins.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for
years we have been selling DR.. Kings New

and Electric Bitters, and have never hans
died remedies that sell as well, or that have
given such universal satisfaction. We do
not hesitate to guarantee them every time,
and we stand ready to refund the purchase
price, if satisfactory results do not follow
their use. These remedies have won their
great popularity purely on their merits.

INVEST AT HOME.
HELP BUILD UP YOUR OWN CITY.

Other towns in Georgia, beside
Marietta, are being hurt by their
citizens being induced to invest
their money in other towns in order
to realize in q speculative manner
large dividends. The Lithonia New
Era voices complaint that is gen.
eral and it is time to call halt. It
says:
We have often urged our people
to invest all their money at home,
and to patronize home. enterprises,
home merchants, home mechanics,
HOME EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY,
and we will continue this policy just
SO long as we are able to WELD a
pen for the upbuilding of our town
and county.
There is a strong disposition on
the part of a number of people to
always seek other investments rath-
er than home. This is wrong, radi-
.cally wrong, and We do injury to
ourselves, as we'll as our town, every
time we invest one cent away from
our own town.
If every dollar our citizens have
invested in other cities was put into
some kind Of a manufacturing enter
prise here; something to give en-
ployment to numbers of hands, or in
a hotel, or in various other things,
what a different town we would
have! Our property would enhance
in value, our merchants would do a
much larger business and our me-
chanics, artisans all, would be kept
busy-we wNuld have a live and
prosperous town twelve months in
the year.
Ky investing our money at home,
We show to the outside world that
we have confidence in our town. and
thereby induce men of means to
come and live with us, and plant
their capital alongside Of ours. This
also brings more mechanics, more
laborers. By specializing in other
towns We may possibly make few
hundred dollars and, then, we may
lose a few hundred dollars. But
granting that we realize few hun
dred on our investment, even, then,
it would not be like keeping our
money at home, especially to those
who already have property here, or
are trying to build up business of
any kind, for by putting our money
in home enterprises, we will not
only realize few hundred dollars
on the investment, but our other
property will enhance in value, or
our business will be built up. How
much better is this latter!
Let's stop building up ATLANTA,
the "new town" ON the Chattahoo>
chez, EAST End" and various other
places, with our capital, for every
dollar we invest there only gives
those places more power to suck
the life blood out OF our own town.
