Correct No man is independent
There is no such state of being Poor
and rich occupy the same position. All
are mutually dependent" The poor
is dependent upon the rich, and the rich
upon the poor. The interests and re-
quirements of men are so interviewer
that each needs at some time the help
of his fellow man. The truly indie

exist He may be conceited and pulled
up enough to think SO, but if he should

him favor or receive one at his hands,
he would find out how insignificant,
miserable and dependent he was upon
his fellowmen. We know that some
men boast of being independent and
asking no favors, but it is a farcical
play on the stage of action to amuse
the galleries. Sober, thinking men,
who have had contact with the busy

SMITH.-WILSON.

and Mrs. Wilson, at Miner, Ga, Tues
day, the 9th inst, Rev. Mr.. Martin. of
the Methodist church of that place.
officiating. There were no guests
present except the relatives of the
bride
Mrs. Smith, as Miss Wilson, was uni
versally beloved in the town in which
she resided, and it was with great re-
luctance that her friends countenanced
the idea of her departure to another
place, even though it were with the
man of her choice and in obedience to
Divine commands. This fact was ap.
parent by the great concourse of peo-
pie cher Sunday School class being of
the number) who assembled at the
station, with tears of sadness, to bid
her adieu. Such acts of appreciation
testify far more strongly than mere
empty words to loneliness of character.
She is member of the Methodist
church, and will undoubtedly add ma
terially to the spiritual side of our
town. We heartily welcome her to our
midst.
Mr.. Irvine W. Smith is a we'll
known citizen of Marietta and to have
even casual acquaintance with him
is a guarantee of ones being impressed
with his true innate worth. Coming
of an old South Carolina family, he has
coursing in his veins the blood of many
of the most distinguished houses of the
Palmetto State, an honor which he
worthily wears. He is a member of
the Baptist church and is merchant
of our city. We congratulate him
upor the jewel he has won, and sim
cerely trust that the married life of
this estimable couple may be one of
unalloyed happiness. They arrived on
the 8 O'Clock train Wednesday evening
OF last week, and will reside at the
home of the groom on Whitlock Avenue.

ANOTHER BARBECUE.

Barbecues are getting fashionable,
and parties are not relying on political
campaigns to furnish the toothsome
morsels from over the pit. On Friday
afternoon last a small party of our citi-
zens dubbed together and had de-
lightful 'cue at Messrs Anderson and
Green's orchard near kennesaw noun
tain. The small party consisted of
Messrs. +. p Green, George D. Ander-
son, n. A. Morris, Frank Reynolds
Will Dupre, Pat Nell, A. A. Towers, J.
f. Clark, Harry Leake, H. W. Oliver
and l.. N. Trammell. They in turn
invited Judge Gober and Solicitor
HUTCHINSON. When the party gathered
at the table of we'll prepared barbecued
meats, condiment, fruits, etc, they
found that there were just thirteen of
them, the ulucky number, and it was
being held on the unlucky day, Friday.
These facts may have struck consterna-
ton to their hearts, but not to their
appetites, and they ate with relish all
the same. But they dispelled their
superstitious fears by counting Mr..
James Frey, as one of their number
who had prepared the cue with his
usual culinary skill. 1t proved very
pleasant occasion to all present.
