the matter of making a showing
for the Seaboard Air Line railway
to come to Marietta. Let the COM
mittee appointed to lay the facts

that gentleman that it is only fif-

side of Atlanta, to Marietta and
at the outside it is only thirty-five
miles from Marietta to Rockmart
making the distance from Atlanta
to Rockmart fifty miles, the same
as that by the route surveyed
which passes near Austell. The

WHEN TO MARRY.

At what age should a man
marry? The author of that clever
book, "How to be Happy, Though
Married." was asked this question
the other day, and replied that it
all depends upon the man. says
the Philadelphia Times. ''Some
men are more fitted for matrimony
at 25 than others are at 35, if
marriage, however, be postponed
after this last figure man is
likely to get into what may be
called the habits of celibacy, from
which, as from other bad habits.
it is hard to break away. In this
habit of ceIibacy he will continue
until he is about 60 years of age,
when a great desire will come over
him tc try what matrimony is like
just before he dies, land he will pro-
pose right and left to everything in
pettlcoats, until he is at last
picked up, not for himself, but
for his money or for his position,
or because some one is tired of
being called Miss and wants the
novel sensation of writing Mrs
before her name.
IAN old man told friend that
he wanted to marry before he died,
If only to have some one to close
his eyes. Perhaps, Suggested the
friend, you will get some one who
will open them"
