THE GLASS WORKS.

Preliminary Work Being Pushed and the
Sale of Lots will Begin mt Once.
Neat plats of the East Marietta Ad.
dition and Subdivision are being dis
tributed TO every business house and
office in the city and given out to all
who ask for them. There is not fuot
of ground offered that is not adapted
to the uses for which it is plated and
when the lots are put on sale any per-
son who desires may be driven to the
East End and can pick his lot while on
the ground.
Boards with the names of the streets
will be placed on the ground in few
days and person can tell just where
he is.

amount that secured it.
The proposed new industry is the
talk of the city. The exp essions are
favorable without exception as far as
we know, and our people are enthusi-

With the prices of lots running from

The lots are worth the price without
an industry, but nobody will be asked
to pay for his lot without the in
dustry is there and operated. The Ma
rietta Electric Co. see the point and
are only too glad to assert that they
will go to the new addition as soon as
the industry is in operation. This
makes the lots all the more desirable.
In the present undertaking the men
who haye seen fit to undertake it have
optioned only the amount of ground
that they need. If this is go and an
other industry wants land afterwards
there is plenty of it left and no strings
on it.

ROCkLAND.

A birthday social was held at Mrs.
Sarah Ames, in honor of her eightieth
birthday, for the benefit of the Univer-
salist Church. An old fashioned chick
en- pie dinner was served and goodly
number of older persons were seated
around the table, which was heavily
loaded with the good things provided
by the good housewives of the COM
munity 1t had been proposed that
the price for the dinner should be one
cent year for each person or what
eyer they wished to contribute. Two
persons present beside the hostess had
reached their S0th birthday, while
several had reached the three score
and ten milestone and quite a
number had passed the three score
mark. A good exhibition was made
by showing how our early pioneers
made their clothing. The old spinning
wheels, both wool and fax and the
hackle was brought into use by clean.
ing some flax for the purpose of spin
ming. The fax wheel had the distaff
for holding the fax and the gourd for
the water to dip the fingers of the
spinner in to mark smooth thread.
Mrs. Stephens spun the fax while
several ladies tried their hand at the
spinning wheel for wool who had in
earlier days spun more than the allott-
ed days work of 40 knots One lady
remarked that she had made her so
knots in day. To the younger per-
sons it was quite amusing while the
older ones were carried back to their
younger days. Recitations were deliv-
cred by Miss Florence Rathbone and
were we'll received. Jubilee songs were
sung by the church choir, also solo
by Miss Bell Flower. Mrs. Spencer
and daughter from Decatur, Illinois,
who are here on visit, were present.
The receipts were beyond the expecta-
tions of the friends of the church. L,

spared to see the return of many birth

BALLROOM vERAcITY.

He was not the most graceful dancer
in the world, and the first waltz around
the room he stepped on her toes, caught
her gown, apd his general awkwardness
was SO marked that people began to
look at them. says the Detroit Free
Press. He blushed. bit his lip and stam-
mered out:
lin so sorry. Mis- Gracely. that
I've spoiled your dance. Really. it's
been SO long since i danced that I've
forgotten how. Please pardon"
"Why, Mr.. Scraper, I'm sure you're
a graceful dancer. I've really nothing
TO pardon. I've enjoyed the waltz SO
much. If that awkward Mr.. Paddle
would keep out of folks way dancing
would be easy enough. He and Miss
Wadtile take up the whole floor. Mr..
Scraper, you are one of the best dancers
on the floor tonight"
AT whjc.i Mr.. Scraper felt much re-
leved and began TO think he was over
cautious in watching himself. But five
minutes later he wanted to go home.
when, in passing Miss Gracely, in u cor
ner, with Mr.. Paddle and Miss Waddle,
he heard her saying:
What a clown that Mr.. Scraper is.
Did you see him trying to dance with
