A CARD.

The close of the year 1897 marked
our tTenty-ffth year OF business Co.
reer in Marietta. Just bit of ego
tlsn here we hope you will excuse.
Ali the many receipts for success in
any business may be "boiled down"
into enc word: Work.
Perhaps one man in generation
IS 80 gifted by nature that he can
reach success without labor, but for
most OF US the alternative is work
or fail.
In the race for bushes the man
OF ordinary capacity, with grit and
appetite for work will in ninety-nine
cases out OF one hundred outstrip
the man with greater natural ability
whose liking tor work is only luke.
warm.
He who wishes to succeed in busi-
ness must work with his head as
we'll as his hands, and his advance.
ment Will be swift or slow accord.
ingly as he leavens his work with
much or little thought. During our
twenty-five years experience serv-
ing the trading public of Marietta
and vicinity, and studying carefully
their wants, our watchword has been
Wosk.--Work for the advancement
OF our customers interests which
are held paramount to oil other con-
siderations. What benefits our Gus.
toners benefits US. It is not from
any generous disposition that we
serve our customers interests so
completely, but that we realize no
business can be success unless you
benefit other people. No mans life
is success when he lives for self.
We believe firmly in reciprocity,
and you will find this exhibited in
our every move. We appreciate
the fact that the trading public rec
ognize our leadership in each de.
partment of our immense stock.
Our every thought is and has been
to make our place OF business the
trading center of the town Now
that we have been put to the test,
extending over quarter of centu-
ry, and have given satisfaction to
the people, we would ask that those
who have not seen fit to favor US
with orders will give us an opportu-
nity to serve them. You will profit
by so doing.
We thank our many patrons for
their past favors, and shall endeavor
to merit them in the future.
Yours for move business,

About sixty persons were indicted nv
the grand jury OF Cobb last week for buv-
ing votes in the recent contest for Mavor-
atty of the city of Marietta. "--Morgantop
News
The above statement is not in keepinp
with facts. There were only two indict.
ments for buying votes" and one of these
is practically mo BILL" as it was signed
only by the foreman, and is irregular Sin
other respects. Besides, the negro who
said his vote was bought has given an as
fidavit that he didn't know the man who
bought his vote. There were about A true
bills for illegal voting, and some of those
had their taxes paid before voting. Things
are bad enough, but let the truth be told.
In the hurried write up of the marriage
anniversary Of Mr.. and Mrs. =. N. An
derson in our last issue, we inadvertently
used the name of Miss Mollie Seize twice.
1t was her sister. Miss Addie Seize, who so
graciously rendered service in making the
guests enjoy the tempting viands in the
dining room.

August Magazines.

The Americsn Monthly Review of Re-
views for August reviews the Santiago
campaign by land and sea from start to
finish. Wincton Churchill, who wrote so
acceptably on Admiral Dewey tor the
Iune Review, describes in this number
the wonderful battle with Cevera's fleet,
and his article is illustrated in part from
Hemment's remarkable photographs Of
the Spanish ships taken the day after the
fight. John a. Church, formerly of the
Army and Navy Journal, contributes a
full account of tbs Santiago land fighting,
and his article also is illustrated from new
photographs Park BENJAMIN writes on
the work Gu out for the Eastern squadron
under Commodore Watson. Altogether,
the Review again shows its ability to keep
we'll abreast Of all important military and
naval movements, and to exhibit clean
pair of heels to all its competitors in mag
azinadom.
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1898-08-05


THE final disposition Of the Philli-
pine Islands is a vexed question.
1t is quite likely that terms of peace
between the United States aud Spain
will be settled without deciding the
future of this far away group of ISL
ands. 1t has been evident for some
time that the possession of the Philli-
pines by the United States might
lead to serious complications with
other countries, and the feeling seems
to be growing that "the game is not
worth the candle" Even if the
PHILIPPINES came to us without the
legacy of a war with Germany or
any other European country, it is
still a grave question whether we
want them. The group Of islands is
most extensive, and has pnpulat ton
Of over 9,ooo,ooo inhabitants, the
major part of which are uncivilized,
some no doubt little better than saw
ages. To govern this people, nearly
6Ooo miles from San francisco and
5000 miles from Washington, will
be a task of such magnitude that it
is no wonder President Mckinley
and his Cabinet are appalled,. 1t is
stated on good authority that Spanish
sovereignty has been maintained only
by the help of the Catholic bishops
and clergy, who have great influence
with the natives. Their aid cannot
be expected should the United States
take the islands. 1t seems to us that
a coaling station there would be
much less trouble and perhaps as
much profit as to annex the whole
with its 9,COO, 900 more or lesstur bu-
lent natives, who would require a
standing army larger than that which
this country has possessed for the
last twenty years. There may be a
commercial value to the islands that
would offset the expense of govern
ing them, but we doubt it.

CLANS anG Shoes.

The idea of a press excursion from
Providence to Brockton over the trolley
lines which now connect the two cities,
emanated in the fertile brain OF DR.. Irv-
ing Watson of the Narragansett Herald.
DR.. Watson visited the famous "Shoe city
OF New England" several weeks ago, and
was so charmed by the beauties of the
place and the genial qualities of the peo-
pie he met there, that he determined to
arrange trip to allow the other news
paper men OF the State and their friends
to make the journey under the most
favorable conditions. Tuesday and We'd
nesday were the days set for the excur-
sion, and although the number that
finally made up the party was somewhat
small, the weather conditions Tuesday
morning were all that could be desired
At 80 on the morning OF August I'd,
the Rhode Islanders set out on their pill
grimage on a special car, accompanied
by Supt. Ralph OF the Providence and
Taunton R. R. Co. The trip through
the familiar scenery in East Providence
and the primeval forests OF Rehoboth was
interesting and exhilarating. A short
stop was made at the pretty city Of Taun-
ton, where the County Court House and
other public buildings were inspected.
The party then embarked on the cars of
the Taunton and Brockton line, and after
nj ~
delightful country, 1t was safely landed at
Brock on, and in a short time was shell.
tered beneath the hospitable roof OF the
"Keswick," one OF the leading hotels of
the place. In the afternoon the plants of
the d" Brockton Enterprise" and the
"Brockton Times," both excellent and
up-to-date papers, were inspected. lust
here we should like to say that more ge-
nial, cordial and intelligent lot OF newspa
per men than those who control and make
the above papers, would be hard to find
The Enterprise" placed one of its staff,
Mr.. Webster, at the disposal OF the Rhode
Island party during its stay, and he proved
a most excellent "guide, philosopher and
friend" Later in the day the handsome
and elaborately fitted up clubhouse Of
the Commercial Club were visited. and
the model shoe shop of S. B. Grover s.
Co. inspected. In the evening the Rhode
Islanders were entertained at Highland
Park, where a fine concert was given by
the Brockton Band and the beauties Of an
electrical fountain enjoyed. On Wednes-
day forenoon the shoe plant Of w. L.
Douglas was visited, and in the afternoon
the party visited the City Hall and paid
their respects to Mayor Garfield. On the
return trip the ''long route" through the
beautiful towns of East Bridgewater and
Bridgewater was taken, and the company
arrived in Providence about o'clock.
The trip was a great success in every
way, and if the people of Rhode Island
wish to see a city that is model in many
respects they should take the trolley ride to
BroCkton.
