ternoon and a very gratifying showing
was made. They had very expensive
programme that gave entire satisfac-
ton to. the people. They took in
enough money to pay all expenses ex-
cept about $1,000. They have as an
asset large tent that is worth half the
money. They agreed to hold bigger
and better Chautauqua next year They
have some experience in the matter
now that will enable them to carry out
a programme that will be unsurpassed
in attractions. The Chautauqua has
come to stay.
If our citizens would get together,
pull together and work for more manu-
featuring industries in Marietta, as they
did in making the Chautauqua a sue
cess, we would see results that would
astonish the most skeptical. There
ought to be furniture factory built in
Marietta a cotton seed oil mill and a
cotton factory. These enterprises would
give an impetus to our growth that
would add to our population, fill empty
houses and increase the sales of the
merchants. Let us do something.
The name of the Marietta Paper
Manufacturing Company has been
changed to the Marietta Paper Mill. 1t
is owned now by Mr.. Joseph Wolcott,
of Toledo, Ohio, and Mr.. Joseph Paige,
of this city. After the country mill is
sold on the first Tuesday in August the
company will be recognized. Mr., M.
M. Sessions, the receiver, is still in
charge. Capt. Drake is doing the office
work and Mr.. Sam Squires, superin-
tendent of the mill. We learn that
valuable Improvements will be made
in the mill. The waterworks is to have
new pumps, engine and filters. Success
to the new owners.
China is one of the South's best Gus
mers in cotton goods. Our exports of
cotton to China last year amounted to
$40, 273, 487 out of a total of $19,698, AIS
worth of exports of piece goods. If the
war in China is prolonged we fear that
the Southern cotton mills will not de-
clare as big dividends as they have been
doing, owing to the interruption of
trade. 1t is hoped the uprising there
will be speedily put down.
Aid. ]. H. Bate has been made chair
man of the new building ordinance
passed by the city ,council. Before any
person can construct house in Mari
eta now they must get permit from
the city council, This is good law
and will protect from depreciation
property by having Objectionable
houses built adjoining, thus also keep
ing the property at an enhanced value
for taxation.
In town the size of Marietta every
body ought to get along together har-
moniously and happily, without any
disposition on the part of anyone to stir
up strife or bitterness. There is moth
ing to be accomplished by abuse. Re-
ligion is not promoted by it, friendship
is not strengthened by it and brotherly
feeling is hurt by it. o, for charity
that speaketh no evil" to prevail.
