Mr.: JosEPH M. BRowN, of this place.
has been appointed Passenger Agent OF
the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, one Of
the best roads in the country. This is
gratifying to Mr.. Browns many friends
in Marietta, and the road is to be con-
graduated on securing his service i.
His acknowledged qualifications and
long experience in railway traffic, make
him valuable man to any road.
Mr.. Moultrie NJ. Sessions never
touches property only to improve it..
In store and residence property his
taste and good Judgment are conspic-
uous. The Sessions corner now occu-
pied by Sessions & Trammell is an inn
provement that the town appreciates.
The store building formerly occupied
by Florence Bros & Co., has undergone
a complete transformation. The length-
ening of the building and putting in
bay windows in the front of the second
story shows up we'll.
Marietta has y large number Of
worthy, industrious colored people who
own their own homes, are law abiding
and have the respect OF our people.
There is no reason why this shouldn't
continue. Let these colored people
frown down upon the criminal class of
b
their race and see that they are not
shielded in wrong doing but are turned
over to the law for punishment Mo-
body wants mob law and lynching in
this country
The legions Of friends Of the Rev. ".
e. Manget will doubtless be surprised
and greatly pleased to hear that he has
been ploughing, hoeing and otherwise
tending his garden in the past few
weeks. A year ago he was COM
PEELED to give up teaching on account
of his enfeebled physical condition, and
this wonderful improvement comes al
most in the nature of miracle. 1t is
pleasant news to all Marietta, for every
one loves and respects this truly good
and pure man.
