there are certain obligations incumbent
even upon New Jersey corporations. one
of these makes it necessary for every
corporation to file with the secretary Of

within forty days after its usual annual
meeting. Failure 10 comply with this
requirement involves a fine OF 500. one

This requirement II appears has be-
come dead letter. the corporations

20 IL for some years past IL has been
revived. however. much TO the conster-
nation and disgust of the deAnquents.
A sharp New Yorker has begun suits 20

the law has not been enforced is found
In the fact that some years ago the Of

) WHY CHICAGO IS SUCCESSFUL:

| The projects which have resulted
successfully in Chicago have been
carried out by pulling together.
People haven't time for much dis
cussion out there. Il a shrewd
business man or capitalist has a
scheme which he thinks is good,
bis friends rely good deal on his
| judgment and what he has done in
the past. They help him, and the
object is accomplished.
Every city and town ia the south
can initiate Chicago. We don't
mean on the same scale nor any
thing approaching it, but by fol>
lowing the same principle by pull
ing together. If town of 1000
people wants a store or factory,
which is the best way to get it-let
twenty or thirty work for the enter
prise which will benefit all and the
rest do nothing, or have all work
for it? The question answers itself.
The Chicago fair is good thing
to think over, especially the reasons
for its success Augusta people
have thought over it, and the ex>
position is one of the results. At
lanta people are thinking of it, and
1895 will show the brilliant concep,
ton of this thought.
No, the Chicago people are no
higher, no brighter and have no
more ability than the people in any
southern city.
Pull together and see if this 10
not true. Manufacturers Record.
Lee us pull together in Marietta,
put enterprises on firm basis, and
carry them to success.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1894-02-08

1t is good thing to bear in mind
that the "hard times" which we have
been passing through for the last
four years came on under the laws
enacted by the republican party,
which tor thirty odd years, until
last year, had control OF national
affairs. Those who are disposed to
become restless just az this time
owe it to themselves and to the
Democratic party, which is now in
control, to wait until the Democrats
have time to'enact wholesome laws,
and see if the burdens and hardsh Ups
of the people are not lightened.
