and successful administration, and
with the cooperation of the people
we doubt not the Mayor and Aldermen
will perform their duties well and adj
vance the city's every interest. The
proceedings of the first meeting appear
on the first page. R. E. Lawhon was
reelected clerk; Fred Morris, Treas
urer; Murray Hawkins, Marshal, and
E. Mcdonald, Waterman. G. NJ. Hicks
was appointed by the Mayor deputy
marshal. The final report of the old
council will appear in our next issue.
Atlanta had drunken and bloody
Christmas, according to the papers of
that city. Two hundred cases to try
at the police court in one morning is

most rabid whisky advocates. License
barrooms to make drunkards and then
punish them for getting drunk. Such
blood money will stain souls to dam
nation. Atlanta contends for whisky
for the commercial value that dollars
and cents empties into its Golfers. A
shameful spectacle!

With the new year we ought to build
that cotton factory in Marietta. If
our town holds her own and makes any
progress industrially, it must be done
through the united efforts of her citi-
zens. Other people are not coming
here to do it for us. We must show
we have faith in our town and push it
forward by building factories.
