Commencing with Monday, the Academy
patrons will have Augustus Thomasin In
Mizzoura," which enjoys the reputation
of being a most distinctly American play
in plot, in scenery and character. The
piece is a most beautiful work OF its
kind The hero is a man who is afraid
of nobody but the girl he loves, and his
friend the blacksmith. The play does not
lack exciting interest. but probably the
greatest OF its charms lies in certain
rural sweetness which hangs about the
love interest, and its quaint characterize
tons Everything is appropriate, and the
phrases and speeches are as much in
illustration of character as they are or
advancement of the story. There is great
beauty in the clinaxes of the several
acts, one of the most exquisite and
touching being that at the close of The
second act, when jim. rejected by Kate,

SQUIRE HARRIS Views.
Some Opinions and Advice from a
Competent Authority.

Like every City and Town in our
Repu bile, Marietta furnishes its share
of veterans who fought for Old Glory
during the late unpleasantness and
who, despite their valor when facing a
foe on the field found themselves wag-
ing war on a concealed enemy eyer
since, and perfectly powerles and un-
able to dislodge it from its position.
How to effect dislodge it from it's
position. How to effect dislodgement
is clearly given in the statement that
follows made by Squire M. II. Hart,
whose office we need scarcely remind
our readers is just opposite the depot.
Our citizens have now the unavoida-
BILE question to answer, whose opinion
can l depend upon the more, repre-.
sentative resident of Marietta or some
newspaper statement made by some
one living hundreds of miles away who
say remedy soand-so cured him? Read
this and then quietly and coolly an
swer the question mentally. The
Squire says:-"Since was in the army,

Vim, Grass Insane,

In Judge Rood's Court Tuesday morn
ing the inquest of lunacv on the case
of William Grass was held, and after
due care exercised in the examination
Judge Rood declared the young man
to be insane, and recommended that
he be sent to the hospital at Athens
for treatment. Permission to enter
the hospital was asked for and received
by wire Tuesday afternoon, and the
unfortunate young man will be taken
to Athens today in charge of Sheriff
McCallister.
Young Grass's case is on of the sad
dest that ever came to our knowledge.
He was placed IN Jail about month
ago, charged with larceny, and, though
having the best of treatment at the
hands of the Sheriff and the prisoners
with whom he was associated, he
brooded over his troubles till his not
over-strong mind was unbalanced and
reduced to an apparently chaotic state
According to DR.. Cooke, the young
man is suffering from acute melancho
liz, with delirium; and it is possible
that with proper treatment he may
recover his reason and usual health.
