1 years, Many new citizens have come
in and many old ones have gone out.
A new generation of active young men
and women have come upon the stage
of action and the places that were filled
many years ago by busT<4nen are now
filled by others. The old lawyers have
nearly all been supplanted by new ones.
There are not more than two of the
older doctors now in active practice
here. New merchants stand behind
the counters in every instance except
one. The ministers of twenty five
years ago no longer fill our pulpits.
The inevitable law of change is doing
its work.
Those of our people who are so for
tunate as to have scuppernong grape
arbor have been able to pick up a
good many extra dimes this season.
The.grapes came in when the market
was almost destitute of fruit, and as a
consequence found ready sale. The
market has been we'll supplied with
them for several weeks, and while the
price of five cents may seem small to
the growers, the fact that the vines
are heavy bearers and that the season
extends over several weeks, makes the
crop profitable one. Mr.. John Rog-
ers has been very successful vender.
There is large number of the old
time negroes, men and women, still
lingering on the shores of time. Their
steps are growing feebler and their
heads gray. When you meet them in
Marietta, they are still polite and re-
spectful which shows that their early
training, under regime of slavery clings
to them in practice. They will all be
gone after while, and then the young
negroes of this day will miss their wise
counsel and good example.
Rev. DR.. Brigham will hold his last
quarterly meeting in Marietta on Octo-
Der 28th and 18th. The conference
year is drawing to a close and the Meth
odists will have to spur up to get mat
tiers in shape. If you are behind in your
assessments hand in the money at once
to J. NJ. Austin, treasurer, or leave it
TAT E. G. Gilbert's store.
Negroes whom you helped with money
last winter when they were sick, and
needed food or fuel, won work for you
now, for fear you want the money Dor
rowed repaid. You must assure them
their accounts are wiped out and you
are ready to make other money advan-
ces then to them before they will do
other labor for you.
Capt. LefIon said while in Kansas
City he was shown through soap fac
tory in which there was kettle that
made fourteen car loads of soap at one
boiling. As he said-it sounds unreas-
onable-but says it was actually true

Mr.. G. J. Moore, of Decatur county is
in the race for doorkeeper of the House.
Mr.. Moore is a young man of great
popularity and ability. He formerly
was a resident of Cobb county and his
friends there are vigorously pushing
his candidacy.-Sav. News.
1t is strange that some people expect
everything of a.newspaper and at the
same time never give it five cents worth
OF business. "A newspaper is like most
other. human concerns. 1t likes to ac-

There are some very sensitive peopl,
