be that Austell, one of our county
towns, is becoming one of the most ia
nous of resorts, owing to its wonderful
Lithia Water, the purest in the world.
what Carlsbad is to the continent of
Europe, and what Saratoga is to the
East, Austell some day will be to the
South. Austell is situated on the
Southern Railroad, Is miles from At
lanta and ten miles from Marietta, and
it's celebrated lithia water wells recent
ly developed by Mr.. J. H. Louch, on
the Medlock property, presents the
strongest analysis of any water on the
market, being strongly impregnated
with Epson Salts. The medicinal vir-
tues of this most excellent water are
working wonderful cures. The property
is being rapidly developed by the Aus
tell Lithium Water Co. and we would
recommend 1T TO our people in Marietta
as the finest water that they can get.
This is a Cobb county enterprise and
should be literally patronized by our
citizens. Mr.. j. Fl. Louch, the enter
prising manager, is also running the
Lithia Springs Hotel, the favorite re-
sort of visitors. Comfort and the best
fare can be had, besides plenty of this

A GOOD OBJECT.

The Georgia Commissioners of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, have
selected Col. Fred Morris to represent
them in Cobb county, and to solicit
subscriptions for the erection of the
Georgia building at the exposition.
The Georgia Lumbermen's Associa-
ton has donated the lumber necessary
for the building, but the cost of other
material, the labor and other necessary
expenses, will have to be raised by pri-
vate subscription.
The towns of cambridge, Quitman,
Townsville, Valdosta, Waycross and
other towns of like size have contribut-
ed $500 each, while Savannah and
Brunswick have each gwen $1,000
The size and general appearance of
the building must necessarily derend
upon the amount Of funds raised, and
we feel that our section OF the state
should keep abreast with the movement
Of her sister cities in the southern part
of the state
Many of our best citizens came from
the north and west, and the fact that
just at present more people are seeking
homes in Georgia than ever before
should not be overlooked, but every
effort made to secure our part of these
people. who are wide awake, industrious
and progressive citizens.
All the manufacturing industries o
the city and county who wish to display
the goods made by them. will fine
ample room in the Georgia building tt
display them, and should not fail il
this opportunity to display them a
the largest show ever held in thu
world.

able Georgia delegation. His words

respect among the republicans. No
