The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1900-02-22

There arrived in Marietta the other
day a wagon from North Carolina,
loaded with shrubbery, spruce pine and
fir bushes, and cabbages, which were
offered for sale. The father and son
were in charge of the team ard drove
200 miles, and had been on the road
seventeen days. The whole load was
probably not worth $25. Seventeen
days on the road and as it will take as
long to go back, making thirty-four
days, it can be very readily seen that
there is not much money in the labor
! put forth. Yet multi-millionaire Car
negie says poverty is blessing"
Evidently if Mr. Carnegie had to make
$25 in the manner in which this North
! Carolina mountaineer made his by this
long trip, he would think poverty is
not very conducive to the enjoyment
of life.

If our people would make united
effort with petitions and letters to
Senator Clay and Congressman Maddox,
we might be able to get National
Park at Kennesaw Mountain. If one is
to be in this state, Marietta is the place
for it, and we should do something to
secure it. What is everybody's bust
ness is nobody's, and without co-opera-
ton and organized effort we will do
nothing. Come now. let US make an
effort to get the park.
