Il
comment of Marietta citizen Friday
about the character and conduct of an
other citizen. 1t is always the case
and is sad commentary. The man
who drinks is handicapped in life. He
is constantly disappointing others and
has hard time to get along, and blames
everybody but himself for his misfor-
tune. He is frequently looking for a
new job, because he is unable to hold
one any considerable length of time.
1t is the sober, reliable, intelligent
young man or old man Iwho gets along,
holds position and makes himself use
full and necessity. The drink habit
demoralizes and destroys any man in
any business.
All the old soldiers of Cobb county
are earnestly requested to meet ut the
court house at IL O'Clock a. m, on the
first Tuesday in October next for two
reasons: LIST, For the purpose of re-
vising the books and dropping the
names of those who fail to pay their
dues of 10 cents per annum, which we
regret very much to do. 2nd, To elect
delegates to attend the meeting of the
Georgia Division, which WILDE held at
Augusta in November next. / would
like very much to make a creditable
showing for Camp 1853.
w. j. MANNING, Commander.
Mr.. Charley Foster, the genial tele-
graph operator at the w. & A. X. R.
depot seems to be weekly visitor to
the Gate City" The magnetic at
traction is greater than that at the tel
egraph office that causes him to make
these frequent visits, evidently. Eth,
Charles
Senator Clay has done good work for
Democratic party in Georgia this year
He has made speeches in all parts of
the state. The champion of democ-
racy is az, york for his party while
others are indifferent. Keep the people
interested, informed and enthused and
you have their allegiance.
We regret to learn that Mrs T. II.
Shockley has completely lost her eye
sight. She has been under the treat
ment of DIR, Calhoun, Atlanta, and
passed through Marietta on Thursday
on her way to her mothers in Stilesboro
This is gay old world we live in land
the more you deal with humanity the
more you learn that there are curious"
people. To please them in conduct and
word is an impossibility. There is.only
one way to do do right, and let the
old world wag as it will.
A debt to your paper is no less debt
of honor because it is small. Upon the
collection of the small amount you owe
and that your neighbor owes, depends
the prosperity of the paper. Pay it.,
make the editor happy, and ease your
own conscience.
There is hardly man of any wealth
but what is overrated as to the amount
by the public. The administrator or
executor often finds this true. Anum-
Der of Marietta people are said to be
worth more dollars than they really
are
Walter Jones, a negro on Mr.. Tom
Twins place, near town, was cutting
wood, when a moccasin snake bit him.
His leg became SWOLLEN to his body
and it required heroic treatment to
save his life.
Miss Helen Benson arrived in the city
Saturday from Baltimore and is again
in charge of Mrs. Roots millinery store.
Her friends are glad to welcome her
return.
A firm in Upton, Indiana, advertises
in the Advocate for fifty black cats to
be delivered by Sept. IS. and will pay 20
cents apiece for them, and the person
bringing the blacklist cat will receive
so cents cash. If some Marietta firm
will advertise for cats at 20 cents
apiece, they will be convinced that adj
vertising pays.
A wonderful invention has just been
completed by Capt. Louis Philip
Perew, of North Tonawanda, New
York, giant automaton, which walks,
talks, smokes cigars, protrudes its
tongue, and performs various tricks, in
addition to dragging handsome car
riage behind it. A gasoline engine OPP
@ates the machinery in the man and a
Photographic arrangement operates
the vocal sounds. Now, what is it man
cannot do?
