The man Who MARRIES
LIVES The LONGEST
So Say the Old SagGS Of All
Times

The man who marries has an oppor-
tunity of extending his days in this
terrestrial sphere The man who re-
mains a bachelor shortens his days.
This is not true OF woman. Her days
are extended, it is true. but the spin
ster, according 10 statistics, some
times outliyes her married sister
Marriage" according to DR.. John
son, is the best state for man in gen
eral, and every man is a worse man
in proportion as he is unfit for the
married state.
The bachelor when he is confronted
with these tndtsputable facts, will
shrug his shoulders and tell you that
it makes no difference, for life is only
Ia turbulent interim between two tran
quill eternities SO what difference
does it make?
This is merely a display of bragga-
docio. He does not believe what he
says. 1t is human instinct to desire
to extend life as long as possible, I'M
less a disordered brain prompts a
premature journey to the other world.
You will find others who will say
they are satisfied to die young, that
old men are properly described by
DDcJof0,,oc,,Il s.+-,o-- Ill 70 ,s--, a.
vice as a consolation for being no
longer in a condition to give tad eX-
ample"
Nevertheless, everyone wants to live
as long as he can and enjoy life as
long as possible.
To do this properly do not remain
single. Men and women should marry
and multiply. 1t is the Biblical injuc-
ton, and the sons Of God will marry
the daughters Of men so long as the
world continues to swing around it's
time-worn course.
There are many reasons why men
should live longer married.
The man unhappily situated dOmes,
tically will say in a jocular way that
since he married he has died a thous-
and deaths. He only thinks he has.
Wait until his hour comes. He will
then know the difference.
The Census Bureau gives out the
facts. Bachelors rarely live to be as
old as married men. They live to ripe
old age, but the percentage shows con-
cIusively that married men live longer
than single ones and are healthier.
This can easily be accounted for.
They are more regular in their meth
DDS of living. They are more careful
with their health. They are more par
ticular about diet and dissipation. This
will also explain why the old maid
stands on an equal footing with the
woman who has married and why she
sometimes lives longer. After a GER
tain period she does not care. She
drifts into the happy state of sex in
difference and is satisfied with her
kitten and her cup of tea. Either this,
or she becomes a suffragette and de-
nOunces that turbulent sex that wears
trousers and denies woman her God
given right to vote.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but all in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

BLACK BUILDING FIRE.

In the partial destruction OF the
Black building by fire last Thursday
morning every citizen of Marietta feels
that the loss is personal and the sym
patty for Mr.. Black is deep and sim
cere. The Armory-Auditorium was a
monument to his courageous faith in
Marietta, his broad public spirit and
his sound business judgment as shown
by the fact the the receipts from the
building were slightly in excess OF the
calculation he made before a brick
was laid.
Such men as "Joe" Black are Of in
calculable value to town He takes
the same part in Marietta that Sam In
man takes in Atlanta He builds to
an ideal and his big heart pulses with
interest in the deep concerns, prob
lens and perplexities of his fellow cit
liens. Throughout the panic and de-
preston Of 907-8. he never flickered.
but went right on with building oper-
ations, knowing that the greater the
stress OF hard times the greater the ne
cessity for nerve and bold, buoyant
hOpefulness. And as he looks now
upon the charred timbers of his beau
tiful building, which was our pride
and boast, we want to tell him for this
town that Marietta appreciates what he
he has done and is thankful that ihis
loss is covered sufficiently to rebuild
the burned structure.
Long before the frost is on the pun.

STANDARD OIL DECISION.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States on Monday announced a decis-
ion in the long-fought case for the dis
solution Of the Standard Oil Company
on the ground OF its being a monopoly
and conspiracy in restraint of trade.
The Standard Oil Company is COM
posed Of number,,of companies that
consolidated and the territory OF the
country was divided between them.
The court orders that the company be
dissolved within six months and the
smaller companies that were merged
be operated separately. The company
is restrained from continuing its mon
opolistic methods While the decision
is against the company and it will
be dissolved and has already taken
steps to that end, the Supreme Court
recognizes what it terms a reasonable
restraint of trade, which to a large ex-
tent makes the decision a victory for
the trusts and it is so regarded in Wall
street and by prominent antitrust
statesmen 1t appears that the trusts
have long tried to get such a modif-
cation OF the Sherman law as the SUI
preme Court has given them by the
Interpretation of the law.

W|THROW TO HANG
FRIDAY, JUNE 9TH.
Man Who Cruelty Murder
ed Young Wife, is Sen
fenced to Death by
Judge Morris.

John WithrOW who murdered his
young wife in Fannin county last Au-
gust, has been sentenced for a second
time to be hanged, with every indica-
ton that he will not remain off the
scaffold much longer.
Withrow was taken from the At
lanta Jail Monday and carried to Blue
Ridge where Judge Morris went Mon
day night and passed the death SEN
tence, naming Friday, June 9th, as the
date of the execution.
Judge Morris ordered a strong guard
to be kept over Withrow who will re-
main in the Fannin county Jail until
the date set for the hanging.
Withrow who is about twenty-three
years of age. is one Of the most violent
and desperate men the officers of Fan
min county have ever had to deal with.
The crime which he committed was
most narrowing. He lived in a one
room house about twenty feet from the
porch Of his fathers house. On the
day Of the murder Withrow came home
with a jug of liquor His father and
brother-in-law were on the porch and
he gave them some of the liquor and
passed on into his own house. He was
drinking and soon was heard cursing
his wife and saying she had taken
twenty dollars from his pockets. He
was also calling for more liquor. He
was heard to tell the woman that if
she did not give him the $50 he would
kill her In a little while two pistol
shots were heard and the woman who
had jumped from a window with a lit
tie baby in her arms, was seen running
from the house and up the hillside.
Withrow came out of the house with
the pistol in his hand AS the young
wife circled around in her flight the
husband knelt down, took deliberate
aim and fired. She fell, with a bullet
hole through her heart, passing from
her left side out on the other side.
Withrow told his brother-in-law to go
and see if she was dead and he re-
ported that she was, though the baby
was not hurt. Withrow is said to have
cursed her and then to have asked:
Does anybody here know anything
about that killing?'
With his pistol in his hand he would
doubtless have killed both the men had
they not promised to pretend ignor-
ance Of the crime, which he said he
intended to lay at the door of another
brother-in-law He went away but
came back that night and was arrest
ed. At the trial he made threats to
kill the witnesses against him and one
of the bailiffs who had him in charge.
Withrow was tried before Judge Nor
ris and on conviction his case was car
ried to the supreme court. the principal
ground being that Judge Morris had
admitted as evidence the fact that the
young wife would have become a moth
or again in about four months. The SUI
preme court sustained Judge Morris
on every point.
Since his conviction Withrow has
been in Fulton county jail from which
he escaped last winter but was recap
tured. He has been represented by Go
Der & Griffin and o. R. DuPre while
the State has been represented by So
licitor General Brooks, his assistant,
Mr.. Butt, and Colonel J. z. Foster. 1t
is not known what further efforts will
be made to save Withrow.
