BONDS.

Recently the grand jury of Cobb
county recommended issuing of bonds
to the amount of $500, 900 for the pur-
pose of building permanent roads. We
believe this would be money well
spent.-Cuthbert Leader.
If working the public roads by con-
vict labor in Cobb is to be a permanent
method, then the issuing of bonds to
run thirty years, would be better and
wiser than to levy a heavy direct
tax to foot the expenses now. The
expense would be distributed to
posterity and new corners to help pay
and not altogether upon those who live
and have their being here now. As
posterity as we'll as those now living
would get the benefit of good public
roads, so should they share in the ex.
pense of paying for them.
Direct taxes now will be- very heavy
as will be seen this fall.

of carrying out their Lords command
"to carry the Gospel to the uttermost
parts of the earth" The idea is for one
man to wake others, until the strong
men of the Church will rise, and in
their united, consecrated strength,
through the various mission boards,
discharge the obligation in the present
generation.
The need of the non-christian world
is very great, and the work of evsngeli-
cation is only begun. Where the Cos
pei has become established, it has
transformed the lives of the people, and
the so-called religions cannot stand long
beside it.
The doors to all nations are now open
to the Christian missionary, and in
some countries, like Korea, the people
are begging for this Gospel of Jesus like
hungry children begging for bread.
Some reports of the missionaries read
like the records of the early Church in
the days of Peter and Paul.
But more of this and other things will
be discussed by the speakers. We ex-
pect this to be the last meeting of the
kind necessary in Marietta, and urge
our neighboring pastors and men of the
various churches to attend the meeting
next week. A full program will be
presented in next weeks paper,
Persons who will attend, can have
homes provided for them by writing

BOARD OF TRADE.

A we'll organized Board Of Trade is
great benefit to town. Marietta has
a Board of Trade, but it is in retire
ment. We need to have it reorganized,
and begin to put on foot enterprises
that will augment Marietts's prosperity
and growth and fill the few empty
houses now without income. To sit
serenely down and lack alertness and
progressive energy will do where towns
are finished, ;" but Marietta is not in
that category. 1t has bright future
before it, and we need to be more
united as a people, laying enmities and
fractional spirit aside, and working for
the common welfare and the best inter
ests of our town.
A modern hotel would be in keeping
with the beauty and attractiveness OF
the city, and would draw many North
ern tourists here in the winter and
many Southern resorters in the sum-
me-. People want good accommods-
tions in a good healthy climate like Ma
rietta, and it ought to be brought abouG.
A few manufacturing industries and
factories, too, are very desirable and
great helps. Other towns are moving
on these mills, and Marietta ought to
do likewise.

had got that far. Nothing would
do but l should go.
