to the great annoyance of some fifteen
negro boys who daily meet the trains
in Marietta, crowd up in the way OF
passengers getting on and off trains,
and by jostling, whistling and other
noise make themselves nuisahces. They
are loafers, pure and simple, and ought
to be at work or elsewhere. Their
loud, keen whistling in the very ears of
ladies on the sidewalks is also very dis
agreeable. If the parents of these
idling negro boys will not keep them
from annoying other people, then the
/ the city should do SO by an ordinance
that VIII dispense them.
! The series of religious services held
at the Presbyterian church for the past

Decatur, preached some very strong
and able sermons, and endeared him
self to our people as tender, loving
minister There were several access

their hearts rekindled with the love OF
God and the church strengthened in
its work. Rev.J III, Patton preached
the concluding sermon on Friday night.
