WILL THE WOMAN PROPOSE
DURING THIS LEAP YEAR

For eight years the Christian cal
endar has recorded no leap year. and
with the coming of the first 29th day
of February since 1896 society has pre-
pared to find a new interest in the
year 1904. with its first possibilities of
feminine proposals of marriage.
Since 1896 there has been time and
to spare for the budding debutanteS of
that year of grace TO become some of
the leaves upon the tree of matrimoni-
al chances of 1904. Not only this, too.
but in those eight years the world of
woman. TO say nothing of segregation.

question mark after the leap year pro-

necessary by society.

An interesting development in the
Moline Building d Loan association is
that the status of the charter of the or
ganization is being discussed by mem
bers and others affected by the ma
nipulations of j. W. War;. 1t does not
seem TO be plain that the association
ever had legal eXistance because of
the fact that its charter expired
three years ago and has never been
renewed When the association was
launched in 1850 il was chartered for
20 years. When that period expired in
1900 no steps We're taken to renew the
charter so far as known. and there is
nothing on record in the circuit clerk :
office to show that the organization
today has an existence. II is not
known what effect this may have on
pending litigation Some hold that as the
association is defunct it makes none.
others that it may make the directors
personally liable.

A SMALL FIRE.

About $50 O'Clock Wednesday night
of last week, the night Waterman, Mr..
Delaney, discovered fire in the store of
Mr.. w, A. Page on north side of town.
The fire bell was sounded and soon the
firemen were on the scene. Breaking
open the door, they poured in stream
of water and saturated the interior
pretty thoroughly. A case of matches
under the counter by some means had
become ignited and was blazing, the
ceiling was scorched and some of tie
shelving. In short time the fire was
put out and the case of matches carried
to the street. If the fire had been at
midnight there would probably been
considerable conhagration. Mr.. Page
had insurance with Mr.. Hatcher, of
Atlanta. The building is owned by
Mr.. j. B. Glover and was insured with
Mr.. Coryell.
The Courier office is located over the
store. 1t seems the fire is chasing the
printing offices of the town. We are
still in the lead.

ALL SHOULD BE INTERESTED.

Every citizen in Marietta is an i'm
portant factor in its prosperity and
growth No matter what calling or
station he occupies he should feel in
terested in the town and to that ex-
tent he should not be Indifferent to it's
onward movement No man can afford
to neglect his town, and those things
which are important and necessary to
it, any more than he can afford to neg
lect his home and things important
and necessary to it, There is a duty
owed by every man to his community
as well as to his home. A clean, pros
porous and progressive town is a credit
to citizenship, and in it every citizen
may find his ideal of all that is desirable
in this world. 1t is not only the efforts
of the biggest and best men that towns
can be made and kept clean, progress
i've and prosperous but it depends upon
every citizen in every walk of life to
make town, There is none so small
but that his assistance is important in
making a town prosperous.

ON VOTING.

The Alpharetta Free Press has the
following able editorial which we think
is on the right line:
What considerations should control
the people in electing men to fill impor-
tant offices? Did you ever stop to con-
slider this question?
Some voters seem to think they should
vote for candidate for governor, con-
gresham or judge simply because they
like the man, or because the other fell
low has had Office long enough. We
frequently hear men say, "Well, I know
Mr.. So-and-So is an able man and pure
man and makes good officer, but I
think we should let somebody else have
the Office awhile"
Evidently such man IS not being
controlled by the right considerations
Our idea is that public office is a pub
lie trust, and that public officers should
De regarded as servants of the people.
III the people lind man of superior fit
ness to represent them in any sphere of
public life they have a right to make
APOAA ming tlO III is his uuLY
as a patriotic citizen, to continue to
represent them, even though such SER
vice necessitates personal sacrifice on
his part. There are many such men in
our country. Hoke Smith gave up
law practice which was paying him $40
0O0 year to accept aPlace in President
Cleveland's cabinet at $4,000 a year.
There is not member of the Georgia
delegation in congress, shat is fit for the
place, that could not make more than
5000 year in another field of labor.
There Is not supreme court Judge or n
superior court judge who is not able to
make twice the amount he receives as
a salary. All men are not controlled
by thelove of filthy lucre.
In casting our votes let us look at the
fitness and the characters of the candi-
dates. We are not to elect them he
cause they desire the offices. We are
TO elect them for our own benefit, and
we have right to demand the purest

half, and should not fail to make that
demand.

HAIL STORM,

On Wednesday afternoon of last week
about four O'Clock, the vicinity of Oak
hurst, about two miles north of Mari
eta, was visited by an Unprecedented
hail storm, which lasted about half an
hour, the rainfall and hail being very
heavy. The srteak of visitation was
about one mile wide and two miles or
more in length. The hail was piled in
heaps. Mr.. ]. M. Cogburn says sever
al pieces measured l1a inches in dia-
meter and three inches in circumfer-
ence, while other pieces measured IA
inches. Some peachtrees had the
blooms knocked off, ard there will be
less fruit on the trees in orchards in
that locality. otherwise there was no
damage done.
