The "dispensary bll' passed by the
House provides that all counties in the
state may have the right to vote for
total prohibition, barrooms or dispen-
saries when one-fifth of the voters de-
sire an election. The bill also provides
that dispensary cannot be established
in a town of less than 700 inhabitants
1t does not mean compulsory dispen-
sary, but simply amends the present
local option law of the state so as to
allow the people to vote for dispense
ries in additionto prohibition and bar
rooms.
REMovALw'I have moved my store to
the building on the square formerly
occupied by Mr.. Paille, jeweler, where
l have opened neat and clean store in
every particular. All kinds of fancy
cakes, small or large, and everything
else kept in first class bakery, con-
stantly on hand fresh. Can fill all or
ders for weddings and parties promptly,
thus making catering to the public a
speciality. Have also fitted up lunch
counter, where hot lunches are served
at all hours. Oysters stewed or fried
coffee and ham sandwiches all at very
reasonable price. This is something
Marietta has long needed, and the pat
ronage of the public is cordially solic-
tied. w. F. RoEsEL.
DR.. Fields in returning to town on
Friday night had frightful experience
on the road near Mr.. w. 2. Hardage's
house. His gray horse runaway pass
ing through Mr.. Hardage's cotton
patch and peach orchard before he
could stop the animal. Fortunately
no damage, but the Doctor lost his hat,
being at night he couldn't find it and
had to borrow one.
Talking about raising fine chickens
Mr.. H. G. Dobbs, of this place, has met
with remarkable success. He sold last
week two Barred-Plymouth pullets six
months ola, Tor SlO They were
beauties and he has more like them
10 one in the county has beat that for
fancy price that we have heard of.
Partridge hunting is now engaging
the local huntsmen and hardly day
passes but what a party goes in quest
of this luscious bird.
The average bird dog now walks with
limp, and looks generally stove up.
After spending long summer of indie
ness, he finds his mucles fabby and an
accumulation of fat under his skin, and
the first few hunts he takes rather gets
the best of him.
