The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1895-10-17

last week bought through Col. E. Faw, an
| attorney, Sc acres of land about six miles
north OF Marietta, owned by Miss Anna j.
Hunt, of this place. When Isham came in
with his wife to pay for the land and get
his deed, he unrolled his handkerchief and
there in pile were $4,000 in shining
gold, which he paid over, receiving ten
dollars back in change This shows how
some men save and accumulate, while
others mouthe and grumble about political
parties, bad legislation and the money
power. Every man in good health has
the power to make money, but it is not
every one who knows how to save it.
lsham Gresham has set good example
10 his race, and some white men may learn
a lesson Of profit also from his trugality
and industry.

One of the best pieces OF rock and sewer
work done in Marietta in long while, has
just been finished on Whitlock Avenue
south of Mrs. c. A. WINS residence.
The Chairman OF the street com mittee, Mr..
! L. M. Brumby. has given it his personal
supervision and his good judgment is
seen in every part of the substantial work.
We understand the entire work, including
| rock, lime, cement, sewer pipe, the iron
lail, labor, ETC., cost only $465.34. This
places that branch in a condition where
no money will have to be spent on it for
years and will stand as credit to the sa>
gacity of the chairman OF the street com.
mittee.

several articles and departed. There was
few drops OF blood around the glass,
