iaporers leave the factory, they look
like young regiment of troops. The
Marietta Chair Factory has very large
number of employees. These two fac
tories with the marble industries,
iron foundry. ice factory, paper mill
and knitting mill, will give employment
to probably 700 hands They turn
loose vast deal of money every week
and month in Marietta. Without this
stream of wages poured into the tills
OF our merchants, there would be very
meager results for investments. This
is why we insist on Marietta adding
other manufacturing enterprises to her
present quota.
The insurance rates in Marietta
ought to be the lowest of any city of
its size in the state. Our waterworks
plant with double boilers and pumps
gives force that knocks confiagra-
ton silly. 1t is almost impossible for
property to be totally destroyed in Ma
rietta, when the fire companies get
streams on it. This saves the Insurance
companies many hundreds and thou
sands of dollars, and as the property
owners are taxed to pay for this water
protection, the insurance companies
ought to give Marietta the lowest rate
possible.
A young doctor, desiring to make
good impression upon German farmer

ding" said the farmer. II had vonce
calf vot sucked two cows, and he
made nodding but common schteer
after all"
A printer tried his hand at farm
ing, but he cOdldn't make things work
right, and is now back at the lease"
He had throughout" team-a mule
and horse-and they wouldn't Gus
tify." He said the farmer fred him
after he had "pied" four columns" of
potatoes. He exposed his limited ex-
perience by asking the farmers wife if
she wanted the hens "set solid or lead
ed"
The farmer who has raised full crop
of Irish potatoes this year is a lucky
man. There is a shortage of potatoes
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago, and the recent great drouth
has largely diminished the prospective
supply. A year ago potatoes were SELL
ing for 81 Is barrel now the price is
81, with the prospect for still further
advance to IS or more, says the Savan-
nah News.
1t is the people that make the town,
and all that is lacking is for our citizens
to get together, quit their chickering's
and petty spites and go to work. 1t is
the united town that prospers, not the
one that is always divided like Gads-
den has been and is yet. Get together
and build your town up.-Gadsden
Times. The above is just as applicable
to Marietta as Gadsden.
