TO LEAVE MARIETTA.

In conversation with Mr.. A. M.
Dobbs he tells US that he will move
with his family to Athens, Ga, about
Sept. 18th. This change of base is the
result of the organization Charter now
applied for of the Southern Refining
Company, Of which he is stakeholder
and has been elected president and
general manager at fine salary. The
company takes in the Athens Oil Com
pany and Refinery, to which will be
added fertilizer mixer, and the buy.
ing of cotton and cotton seed, etc. The
capital of the company is $4,000
Mr.. Dobbs regrets to leave Marietta,
but finds it to his interest to do so. His
son, Burney, being already in the en-
ploy of the company, the removal will
give Mr.. Dobbs the opportunity to place
his daughter, Miss Adelaide, in Lucy
Cobb Institute and his son Warren in
the State University. Mr. Dobbs has
been a citizen of Marietta from boy
hood. Engaging in the manufacture of
fertilizers with the Marietta Guano
Company, of Atlanta, he has amassed u
handsome fortune. As an active mem
Der of the Baptist Church, he has done
a great deal of good with his money in
helping to the erection of that edifice,
and by personal work aided many en-
terprises of the church and town Ma
rietta loses and Athens gains an ener-
getic and good citizen worthy of every
confidence.
We deeply regret the contemplated
departure of Mr.. Oobbs and family, but
wish them great happiness and success
in their new home.

PAYING DEBTS.

Some of US can't pay our debts
promptly, but some of US can and
won't.
It's bad habit to get into, and it
causes untold annoyance and ofttimes
grievous embarrassment.
1t is probable that every community
is afflicted with the professional dead
best-the man whose disposition to re-
fuse to pay an honest debt is an active
principle OF his being.
But there are many towns where it il
customary and eminently respectable
for men who are able to do 80 to pay
their accounts either upon presentation
or give some definite assurance when
they will pay them.
Thousands of failures in business
every year are attributable to the in.
ability of men to collect. from debtors
in good circumstances, amounts hon.
estly due. The creditor is "put off,
and put off by people who owe him un-
til his creditors lose their patience and
squeeze him.--Dubiin Times.

Mr.. John A. Booth, of Marietta, who

see us on Wednesday morning. Mr.
Booth is an old Ebert county boy, be-
ing one Of the few left who belonged to

Mr.. Booth says that while his visit
has been attended with much pleasure
there has been much sadness mixed
with the joy, as he finds so many OF his
old comrades have gone on before. Mr.
Booth has numerous kinfolks here-as
he says-he has q thousand cousins, all
Of whom enjoy his wholesome humor,
He will leave for his home in Marietta,
where he has lived for the past thirty
eight years, but will be back again, il
living, to attend the reunion next

During the convict lease investiga-
tiOn. one senator made the assertion
that convict labor was used because it
was cheaper than free labor. As mat
ter of fact, the convict labor costs the
saw-mill men and turpantine operators
more than free labor, but they prefer to
use it because it can be relied upon to
be on hand Monday morning, which
cannot be said OF the average African
Triton Gazette.
And because they have the convicts
in shackles and chains and can force
them under the lash to do more work
than tree labor, for free labor will not
be dashed nor overworked.

when they begin to frame statute laws
seem to forget the use of plain En-
