insurance rate think how much you would
save If Newman had good system OF water
works = Ne,cRdB 1dUertiser. There is
where you are mistaken. The insurance
companies would not make any difference
IN the rate no matter how much protection
against fire yos may have They have
combined and fixed rates and you have to
pay the prices or not insure Under the
present Georgia law, only companies who
deposit certain amount Of bonds with the
State treasurer are allowed to do business in
the State, and this excludes good many
companies and confines it to few to dobusi-
ness IN the State. These few have formed a
pool and they are making the people of
Georgia who insure, pay a big interest on
the money they have deposited as a security
Tor honest dealing. Marietta has steam
fire engine, hand engine and hook and
ladder company and the square has cisterns,
but the rates of insurance are higher now
than before these fire protecting apparatus
es were bought
Chief ConnalIy of Atlanta told Con
stitution reporter that che was happy" and
he said this ecstatic feeling was pro
duced by the police of Atlanta doing such
big months work, making during the
month Of March 1913 arrests" Then Chief
Connally sponged his conscience clean and
pulled his cigar and wanted to know of the
quill driver if that wasn't enough to make
man happy !" What strange mortals we
be And what strange events cause to bub-
bleup in human hearts that coveted boon hap
piness Here's this excellent Chief of Po-
lice Of Atlanta made happy over the increase
of crime and criminals big months work.
1913 arrests Of men and women who have
violated law Yet if it were not So the
worthy Chief knows, "Othello's occupation
would be gone !" In Marietta we are happy
over the very opposite OF what has made
Chief Connally' cup OF joy full to the brim
We are happy up here over the decrease
of crime and criminals. Since prohibition
went into effect, our Marshal has had but
little to do He walks the streets compa-
Gently and feels just as happy, no doubt, as
Chief Connaly.
The friends, and patrons of the Mariet-
ia Library will undoubtedly be pleased to
learn that arrangements are being made to
secure desirable room on the square, and
to have it furnished in suitable manner,
and, probably, to have the room open every
day in the year Sundays excepted) Also
that an effort will be made to have a com
Portable reading room, where the members
may be able to have the use of the principal
magazines and other periodicals which will
always be kept in the room. This is move
in the right direction, and it is to be hoped
that all will endeavor to make it IA success
and thus great benefit to the town. Ii
has also been decided to have some public
entertainments in the course of two weeks
in order to raise some money to properly
furnish the room and make it attractive to
members and visitors The directors feel
sure thai they will be literally supported in
this effort by all, and that the library may
thus be a great benefit to the city, and per
manent institution.
