Der OF individuals caught the old ia
miliar scent of the "Oh, be joyful, {"
and were almost imperceptibly drawn
to the spot where the shattered bottle
lay. where the carcass is there will
the eagles be gathered together" But
it was better for the ground to drink
up the whisky than for some one to
drink it, perchance to fire his brain to
madness. Look not upon the wine
when it is red, when it giveth its color
in the cup, for at last it biteth like q

We are indebted to our clever friend,
Mr.. Vannoy Cleveland, of this place,
for copy of the industrial art edition
of the Spartanburg, S. c., Daily Her
aid, issued the Goth of January. con-
tanning 81 illustrated pages. 1t is one
| of the handsomest publications issued
from any office. The illustrations of
| residences, business houses and cotton
| factories, etc.. show the wonderful pro-
gress that city has made in few years.
Ten years ago Spartanburg was o'larg-
| er than Marietta now it has an esti-
! mated population of 10000. Cotton
factories did it. If Marietta will start
out on this line we will build a city
| here equal to it in wealth and popula-
ton.

pany as National Guards, the govern
ment furnishing the uniforms and rent

| church, which can be had for very
reasonable sum, they Icould have a
splendid armory.
Mr.. Smith, timer of Rome, while

not seriously hurt, his arm being
skinned badly.
Honesty is the best policy" was no
truer one thousand years ago than it is
to-day. Let no man doubt for a mo-
ment that honesty does not receive its
just reward. Treachery and sharp
practice sometimes win victories, but
they are only temporary.
