At every fire we have had in Mari
eta since the waterworks were put in.
1T has been demonstrated that as soon
as the firemen can get fair chance at
the fire, they soon extinguish the de-
vouring flames. This shows what
splendid waterworks plant the city has,
and how well equipped the fire depart
ment is in fighting fire. They not only
save property to owners, but insurance
to the insurance companies. This
ought to secure to Marietta very
| cheap rate of insurance, and we think
some steps ought to be taken in that
direction to get rates more in keeping
| with the risk
Forbearance is virtue to be prac-
ticed by all. 1t is better to yield on
some stubborn points than to irritate.
Charitably make allowances for mis-
taken judgment in others. People will
differ, but it shouldn't be source of
estrangement, or be the cause of i'm
parchment of integrity. Let resent
ment die and end bitterness of feeling.
Life is short and eternity is long, and
the only good you get out of life is
what forbearance and forgiveness
brings. Live peaceably with all men
as far as in your power.

A certain Cobb county Doctor has an
aversion to tell any one where he is
going. A friend saw him get in his
buggy and start off and enquired:
"Who you going to see, Doctor" 81
am not going to tell you," answered
the Doctor. "All right, will know in
a few days when l see the hearse COM
| ing from house." Ever since then
the Doctor tells him where he is going
when he is asked.

Judge Gambler, of Atlanta, presided
for Judge Gober in some disqualified

confine themselves to that. He rules
with firmness, but with ability.

would make 176 pounds he carried.
