and Mr.. and Mrs Henry Howell at
Blacks Opera House on Thursday even
ing, in the concert given under the
auspices of the ladies of the Episcopal
church Mrs. Sheridan has cultivated
voice of great richness, melody and
sweetness, and charmingly pleased all
who were present in the choice num-
bers rendered. Mr.. and Mrs. Howell
proved themselves to be pianists of a
high order of skill. The concert was a
pronounced success.
McKinley's so-called prosperity is
the result of the Spanish and Philippine
wars and the great expenditure of
money for manufactured goods, mules,
horses, cattle and food products 1t is
prosperity at the expense of the sac
rifice of human lives, bloodshed and a
burden of taxes. The bottom is bound
to drop out of this worked up prosper
ity as the result of these two wars, and
the Nc Kinley administration will come
in for its share of bringing on hard
times

Mr.. John A. Manget, of Marietta, who
had an exhibit of his farm products at
the Paris Exposition, has just received
an order for some seed from Zurich,
Switzerland, from parties who saw
his exhibit. This shows what can be
done by farmers if they would take the
trouble to make exhibits of their in
dustry and might thereby build up a
good trade by advertising our section
That dam to be built at Chattahoo-
chez river is a foregone conclusion. 1t
will supply electric power for Atlanta
and Marietta. This ought to insure
several new factories in Marietta. An
oil mill will doubtless be built here by
Spring, and the electric car line to Aus
tell and Atlanta will probably be fact
inside of the next twelve months. All
this ought to help Marietta and will.

The present legislature is the best
that has assembled in Georgia in a
number of years. They ale not load
ing down the session with new bills.
If they will pass but few laws and adj
journ they will have done a good SER
vice to their constituents. Too many
laws are now on the statute books that
are dead letters.
Now that Mckinley has the Presi-
dency for another term, we trust there
will be no change in the postmaster at
Marietta. The Office is we'll and salts
factorily conducted, and our people
want no change, as long as the Repub-
licans are i'll power.

Carolina people are coming over the A.

western states. Squads or them board
the w. & A. trains here almost nightly
hunting for goodly land. If Texas
doesn't grow it won't be for the want
of people.
The Bell Telephone manager, Mr..
McClatchey, was very accommodating
in giving our people the earliest news
of the presidential election at Blacks
Opera House on Tuesday night. Our
people appreciate such favors very
much. The Bell is we'll managed here
and giving satisfactory service.
The Methodist stewards have only
five days to close up financial matters
before the pastor goes to conference.
The members should see the stewards

shape.
