The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1905-03-02


That street car line ought to begin to
approach Marietta, or at least in hail
! ing distance. 1t has been coming to
Marietta long time, and the last time
| we heard IF it it was in the lovely viii
lage of Smyrna, and property was going
J up like balloon. When the trolley
reaches Marietta, you will see soda
water "go down" and cigars lend in
! smoke" The Atlanta people will visit
our city, look upon our beautiful resi-
dences and will want homes here also,
and they will invest and become inte-
grail parts Of our expanding city. Ken
nesaw Mountain will be a summer re-
sort and some one will be induced to
0uild hotel there. Marietta, too, will
have new hotel, and then we will all
be as proud as they make 'em. Let
the clang of the street ear be heard as
soon as possible. We expect great en-
hancement in values of property and a
steady growth in population.
An early morning blaze called out
the fire depa ctment on last Monday
morning about o'clock. The house
owned by Mrs. Irene Baker, on Wad-
dell street. and occupied by Mr.. Robert
Hicks, was on fire in the roof of the
kitchen owing to defective Aue. The
fire was speedily extinguished and very
little damage was done. A hole was
burned in the roof and few shingles
were torn off.
The man who is ever on the alert to
criticise and who never finds word Of
praise for those things even when he
thinks they are deserving of praise, is
the man, who, as a rule, is most full of
faults himself. Every once in while
such a person springs into light, Intel
ligent appreciation is rather scarce
article to say the least
Joe Doates Is of the opinion that Ma
rietta is of too much importance as
city not to have q modern hotel nf
magnificent architecture and attract
iveness Joe Doates has travelled a
good deal and evidently he knows
what he is talking about.
