T he Dog.

A touching scene was witnessed in
the Court House yard on Thursday af-
ternoon. Mr. OFT Steen is a great ad-
rnirer of fine dogs and is the proud
possessor of two very valuable species
of the canine family. One of his pet
dogs, very fine bird dog,had the mis-
fortune several days ago to injure one
of it's eyes and since that time Mr..
Steen has given it every attention
that could be shown it to better the
condition of the optic. The dog came
to it's master and licked his trouser
leg and pleadingly looked up into his
face. Mr.. Steen got bottle of medi-
cine and some clear water and sponge
and the dog sat up and laid his head
on it's masters knee and never moved
until Mr.. Steen had washed and
cleansed the sore eye and then put the
medicine on it. He then walked out
into the yard and waited for Mr..
Steen, who gave him his usual daily
brushing. The dog seems to appre-
ciate the kindness shown him. The
dog is we'll trained and answers every
comand of his master like flash. Mr..
Steen prides the dog very highly and
says he would not part with it.

The Concert.

The Marietta Concert Band rendered
another of their popular concerts un-
der the direction of Prof. Geo. Hib-
bins at the park .ast night. The park
was we'll filled with an enthusiastic
audience which enjoyed to the fullest
extent the sweet music. The season
is fast drawing to a close and the peo-
pie of Marietta certainly have enjoyed
them and are sorry to see them stop.
Would it not be good idea to begin
making arrangements for next years
concerts that they may be begun soon
er in order that we may have more of
them? The people of Marietta enjoy
them; why not keep them up.

husband.
Mrs. Ferguson denied this and said

in the room by insisting upon talking
and expressing her likes and dislikes
to the testimony that His Honor was

afternoon.

more than little of trouble with his

WHAT IS
PRETTIER

Than teeth of pearly whiteness, no
matter how otherwise inattractive a
person may be, if the teeth are glisten-
ing beauties, the rest of the defects are
sure to disappear.
Half of the secret of Pearly Teeth lies
in using the right kind of dentifrice-
the other half in using the proper
brushes.
We keep the best dentifrces we can
find. but the 6ne your dentist recon-
mends is "Euthymol Paste" You
ought to use it.
We have Tooth Brushes in varying
degrees of stiffness and softness. The
bristles are put in to stay in. We sell
good brush for as little as 10 cents.
Better ones cost all the way up to so
cents.
