The business tax levied by the city
council at it's meeting January 18th,
1903, reduced the tax on the opera
house from $50 to $50, as per CODY
handed into the Journal office on Tues
day morning, 18th inst. But the main
thing Mr.. j. J. Black says that will
keep him from building a new opera
house as he had arranged to do, is the
$500 for each performance CT troupe.
This, he says, is prohibitive. The small
patronage extended to shows in Mari
eta does not warrant the building of an
opera house with this tax levied. He
has abandoned the purpose, and the lot
will be used for something else or sold.
B. H. Bostain Co. have completed
stock-taking and now have seasonabls
bargains for you. Their remnant lot is
worth looking over.

Marietta has had the most moderate
winter for years; in fact, there has
been very few real cold days. 1t has
been q mild winter. Some days the
weather has been like Florida weather,
sunny and bright Some say the seasons
are changing, but we snly see modera-
ton, not severity. North Georgia is a
fine country to live in, and Marietta is
the garden spot of the State.
