We know of but one community in the
world where dyspepsia is practically un>
known. and that is the Shakers of Mount
Lebanon, N. Y. These good people have
been studying the subject OF digestion for
more than hundred years, and that they
understand it pretty thoroughly, is evi
denced IN the foregoing fact Their Di>
gestive Cordial is the safest and best
remedy in cases Of indigestion that we
know OF. A trial bottle can be had through
your druggist for the trihing sum of ten
cents
The Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies
the system with food already digested, and
at the same time aids the digestion of other
foods. 1t will almost instantly relieve the
ordinary symptoms of indigestion, and no
sufferer need to be told what these are.

THE ELECTION
vi Mayor and Aldermen
Last Tuesday.
BRIEF SKETCH OF THE MEMBERS.
They will Be Installed Into Office the
First Monday Night in January
Next.

The election for Mayor and six Alder
men took place on last Tuesday. There
was only one ticket in the field, conse~
quently it was comparatively quiet and
tame election, the only noise Of any mag
nitude was brass band that paraded the
streets.
The day was inclement in the forenoon
and sloppy underfoot and a full vote was
not polled, although it was very good
considering there was no opposition tick
ct. the following is the official result

countries on the face OF the globe
There is but one ansver-the la
borer.
The laborer, of necessity, spends
every dollar he can earn, but when
he can find no employment and
can't earn anything, be most assur>
edly cannot spend it.
| hear the doctrine CT over-pro-
duction advocated every day on our
public streets, as being one of the
principal causes of the stringent
times, through which this country
has SO recently passed. would
like to ask few questions on that
point:
How many thousands of families
are there to-day in this country who
have not got necessary clothing to
protect them from the cold blasts of
the coming winter. Why, if every
manufactured garment on earth
were distributed among the needy,
they wouldn't go half way round.
Is the ..cause over~production?
Thousands OF families could con-
sumo double the amount Of provis-
ions that they do if they could get
them without any danger OF con.
tracing govt or dyspepsia.
Is over production the reason the
laboring class can't get halt enough
to eat?
How many thousands of families
are there who actually need and
would have more and better turni.
ture and other necessary articles to
keep house with, if they could af>
ford it? Did you ever stop to think
for just one moment that laboring
man might enjoy a few moments
rest CATER hard days work. in an
easy chair or lying down on q cush>
Toned lounge. The laboring man
is not beggar. He does not ask
you to give him these things. He
only asks you to invest your idle
money in legitimate enterprises and
give him employment.
The laboring man is the tounda.
tion rock on which rests the success
of every business and the prog
perity of every community, and
unless he is given employment
there can be no result but death to
all classes of trade.
If the citizens OF Marietta would
donate one halt as much Of their
time and take one third as much in
terest in the consummation of cot
ton factory in Marietta as they do
in talking about who shall be May
or, we would have a factory here in
successful operation inside of the
next sixty days.
Now, l hope that every citizen
who has the future welfare Of Ma
rietta and her people at heart will
take some active steps in this mat,

it when they come to town. Let
everybody pull together, all pull in

cotton crop is gathered next fall
we will have factory here, ready

be proud of. GEO. B. NIGH.

Remarks About the Cobb

PETTY TH|tV|NG AMONG NEGROES,
Secret Marriages Discouraged. A
Mock Marriage Took Place the
Other Night,

lit is getting so you can hardly
leave anything out doors without it
being stolen, in this town." said a
Marietta gentleman the other day.
".The petty thieving carried ON by
the negroes is alarming and on the
increase. You can hardly trust
some of them without they betray
your confidence and rob you. 7
don't know what is to become of the
race. Their morality and integrity
is so very deficient. There are
many worthy colored men and wo-
men in the town you can trust, who
will tell you the truth and deal
honestly 'by you, and they de-
plore the lack OF honesty among
their race, but they seem powerless
to lift them above their low plane.
! The changing seems to have no
terrors for them and they go from
bad to worse" The citizen GER
tainly took gloomy view of the
situation, as he had just been VIC
timized by the "brother in black, !"
until he was disguised.
***
Eyes, sir, we are going to have
cotton factory in Marietta one of
these days, and you can depend on
it," said Mr.. M. NJ. Sessions recent
ly. cit is one 1of the possibilities
and probabilitiss." The Listeners
ears few wide open and he has not
forgotten the remark. Letter come.
*
"Our Jail and calaboose are not
as securely built as they ought to
be for the safe keeping ofprisoners,"
remarked an observant citizen.
''There is too much exposure 20 out
side contact. Some means ought to
be devised to make some alterations
in our Jail and make it impossible
for prisoners to be helped from the
outside, and made more impregna-
BILE inside" And another citizen
spoke mp and said, "Probably you
never expect to get in Jail or you
wouldn't want such q strong bull
wark built to prevent prisoners
from gaining their liberty" ''No,
l don't expect to break into Jail, Tut
your chances are good" Then
there was laugh and they separat-
ed to hunt Will Myers and Tom
Jackson.

The Listener came near telling
about that secret marriage, but re-
Trained, to see how long it could be
kept sub rosa. Now there is an
other couple planning a secret mar
riage. [ would advise them to
"don't." Secret marriages might
create complications that would be
embarrassing, Marry in the open.
*
A visiting young lady and Ma.
rietta young man went through a
mock marriage ceremony last Thurs
day evening, and, Of course, it was
fully un 1erstood, and the crowd at
the little gathering enjoyed it. But
mock marriages are dangerous to
fool with for the sake OF fun. II the
party performing the ceremony
should happen to be a Justice of the
Peace, Minister or Ordinary, the
couple might find it SO binding that
they might want jury to determine
where they are at" or more prop
erly define their relations. But in
this instance none of these elements
enter into it, and they are both still
heart whole and fancy free.

model many Of the high schools of the
United States and that then their grad
yates would in nowise be fitted for ac-
tual life, but merely prepared for col
lege. As result of the very radical
differences Of opinions concerning this
report and the apparent probability that
to attempt its adoption might bring
about most serious i'll feeling, it was
merely accepted. The committees rec
concentrations that bear upon elemen-
tary education, however, are now being
considered by a committee of 10 educa-
tors, of which DIR. William a. Maxwell,
superintendent of schools in Brooklyn,
is chairman, and it is hoped that this
committee may report in time for the
convention Of 1895. At all events, the
subject will come up at Denver and
will, no doubt, be discussed in most
lively fashion
Simultaneously with the convention
of the National Educational association
the American Institute of Instruction
will be held in Portland, Me. The in
stitute is much more venerable than
the association, having been founded Sc
years ago, when the cause of popular
education in the United States was at
the lowest point imaginable. Save in a
very few of the largest places there
were no graded schools then, teachers
were incompetent and poorly paid, the
schoolhouses were worse than barns in
construction, and there We're no nor
NAL schools. 1t was due largely to the
patience, the toll and the genius of Hor-
ace Mann, the educational reformer,
that affairs with regard to popular edu-
cation in the United States were mend
ed, but there is not the slightest doubt
that the American institute and the in
telligent, determined men who founded
and labored for it in the years immedi-
ately following 1880 also had much to
do with the change. The first president
Of the institute was Rev. Francis Way
land. DIR. John G. Warren, the eminent
physician; Warren Colburn, the arith
metician; John Pierpont, grandfather
Of J. Pierpont Morgan, the banker, and
many others, illustrious in their day and
well remembered now by reason of their
achievements in the lettering of then
existing conditions, We're prominently
identified with the movement the insti-
tLte embodied.
fflrice only since the inEtitutc's cstab-
-ishinent has it held its animal meeting
outside New Eng land-once at Trey
and twice ut Saratoga.
Although its operations have been
virtually confined to New England. its
influence has been signally felt in every
state. and ii may be properly claimed
that every rrnai school III America
owes its exissence to the American In
stitute of I'M traction. IT'S presiding Off

Girls Latin school of Boston, President
Taylor of Vassar, Principal Robinson

President King Of Oberlin, was appoint
ed for the purpose of investigating sec
Dndary or high school work as il is car
tied ON in the United States. This COM
mittee has passed into the educational
history of America as the committee of
ten. Its first meeting vas held in New
York in 1898, and its work was done
during nine conferences held between
the time of this first meeting and last
years convention. Each of these confer
ences considered a separate branch of
the general subject, and when the last
one bad been held report was mnde
up, $4,000 copies We're printed by the
United States government for gratuitous
distribution, and then, at the Asbury
Park convention, the report was submit

1t was this report which caused such
heated discussion at Asbury, for its rec
concentrations were met with the most
widely diverse views. The chief differ
onces seem to have arisen over the atti-
tude assumed by the committee toward
Che Latin language. It's report favored
material extension of the study of that
tongue. Those who favor the report said
that the study of the Latin was the on

Bracelets Once More.

A great hope is being cherished that
women are incLning to bracelets once
more. This seems not improbable. The
decree has gone forth that sleeves are to
be scarcely below the elbow. This being
true there is considerable expanse left
for ornament, for the gloves cannot be
always worn. In any case bracelets are
cheaper than gloves, and women, though
ON pleasure bent. still have frugal minds.
