Out of a large number of papers received,

We reached Marietta, 'The Gem City of
Georgia in time for dinner If the citis
zens of Nashville and Chattanooga had
been cordial in their greetings Marietta
was enthusiastically so The reception we
received here was simply grand. Every
body seemed intent on making our short
stay one long to be remembered, and there
is not one OF our party but who has warm
place in his heart for Marietta, magpiG

their gallant husbands and brothers and
had sent to the hotel large walters of beau

bouquets. Dinner over carriages were
found waiting to convey us to the various
places ofinterest. Ofcourse the first place
in our minds was the famous Kennesaw
Mountain from the sun NIT of which those

teous people, we can imagine no place
here below where one could go and receive
more comfort, pleasure and be more bene>

1t is not only beautiful city but it is a
| city of considerable commercial impor~
lance. Although located within 20 miles
of Atlanta, the capital and metropolis of
Georgia, Marietta has by the foresight and
energy of her citizens gained control of q
trade which is more than local, and has
asserted herself commercially, to an unus-
uaf extent.
AS we went to our train to move on to
Atlanta large throng of citizens and a
colored brass band assembled intent on
having us hear sweet strains and enjoy
their hospitality to the very last. Here
several happy speeches were made by
members of our party and by Mayor T. w.
Glover whose closing sentence was an i'm
vitation to again visit sunny Marietta, with
the assurance that we would meet with a
hearty welcome. AS the train moved out
the pleasing strains of National air were
borne to our ears, and the bright faces of
this excellent people faded from sight, but
in memory, the picture will always remain
a bright spot in the lives OF all.
From Hayward (Wis.) Journal News.
At noon we reached Marietta Ca, and
here we were more than warmly welcomed.
Every citizen there seemed to lend some
aid in making our short stay a pleasant
one, aud they succeeded remarkably well.
We cannot refrain from saying just a
word about Marietta. II is lively little
city of about $500, and is rightly called
the Gem City" of Georgia. Ithas pum-
Der of manufs ctures, numerous churches,

winter resort for the southern people as
we'll as the northern. We will tell our
readers more about this city in the near
future.

1t was the grandest day Of all, too, as at
Marietta, which place the party reached at

carriages all over TIE city, to the National
Cemetery. where lie buried 1876 CT our
