from unexpected sources. That which
we plan for sometimes we do not get,
| while other objects that contribute to
Iour pleasure come to us unsought.
Important epochs to which we look SO
Eagerly are. less fruitful in real en-
Ijoyment than the small and everyday
tevents which seem so Insignificant.
Apparently onesof the happiest persons
in Marietta is the little newsboy, Har-
din, small in stature, yet nineteen
years of age. He goes about selling
the Atlanta Constitution, with a smil-
ling face and vigorous voice, happier
than president of bank or a railroad.
ICold, piercing wind and driving rain
does not stop him, and he laughs as he
says, Constitution, Mister?" May
sunshine always fill his heart and mon
ey his pockets.
Shovels, Hoes, Forks, Rakes and all
garden tools are offered at very low
prices at Dobbs Hardware Co.
Five young men from Franklin, N O.,
boarded the train here Thursday night,
four bound for Indian Territory, and
one for Fort Worth, Texas. They said
they were not making much at home,
and they would try the west and see
what they could do. When they arrive
there they will find hundreds of other
fellows looking for money making jobs,
just as they are. II they return to
their old home here they will be better
satisfied. 1t is an experience of life
time not soon forgotten.
The entertainment by the young la
dies of the Ready Helpers of St. James
Church, on last Thursday evening at
the residence of Mr.. w. HI. Trezevant,
was superb affair, rejecting the high
est credit on the participants. Cha
rades, tableaux, &c. were rendered in a
most happy and pleasing manner, and
everybody present enjoyed the enter
tainment. Nice refreshments were
served during the evening.
The much talked Of Oahill Crates are
carried in stock at
DoBBs HARDWARE Co.
A case against the Southern Express
Company for delivering jugs of whisky
in Gainesville, prohibition town, was
tried before Judge Fite in Barlow Su-
perior Court last week, and a verdict
OF guilty was entered up. The express
company will appeal the case to the
Supreme Court. The. jug trade from
Atlanta to Marietta will be effected by
it also if it goes against the express
company.
LOWE Zendt Purcell, the famous con-
tralto OF the Schubert Lady Quartette,
has one of the deepest voices ever given
woman, and is the only lady vocalist
able to sing an octave below middle G
in concert. Her voice is very power
full, and yet so melodious that her
strongest tone loses none of its sweet
ness. Hear her February 20.
Legg's Carbolized Witch Hazel
Cream certainly does soften and keep
the skin smooth. Price % cents.
Mr.. w. H. Muncy and family left
Saturday for Athens Tenn. where he will
open jewelry store. Mr.. Muncy is an
honest, reliable and clever gentleman,
and we commend him to the good peo-
pie OF Athens as worthy of their conf
dence and esteem.
Mr.. Henry NJ Fairfax, representing
McClure's Magazine, is at the Kenne-

ture more deserving.
John and Julia Bate had birthday
party at the home of their parents, Mr..

Legg's Drug Store. They have been

iting his son, Mr.. r. f. Lawhon, here,

where he will visit his daughter. Mrs.
Logan, and from there go to his home
in Tunnel Hill.
On the railroad between Chattahoo-
chez river and Austell during the past
eighteen years, forty persons have
been killed. fourteen in one wreck.
This might properly be called bloody
road.
