CLARKE LIBRARY.

The Library has received 179
new books during the year 1904.
OF this member Al were purchas-
ed by the Library Association and
the remainder were donated by
friends as follows: GA books by
Mrs. Joseph Paige, 16 by Mrs.
Caroline Dali, of Washington, D..
c., and "a books (promised week
ly) by generous citizens of Mari
eta. Quite a number of new
members have been added to the
Library during the past few weeks
and it is hoped that many more
citizens of Marietta will avail
themselves of the benefits and OPP
portunities 1ffered for education
and cultivation, for mental pleas
ure and improvement in this LII
brary of we'll stocked books, perl
odicals and magazines.
The Clarke Library is entirely
dependent for it's income, on the
$500 per year membership fee, de-
rived from it's members, which for
the past year has averaged only
G5 in members.
1t is the earnest wish of the Di-
rectors that large increase of in
terest, and in the number of mem
bers shall be added to the library
during the coming year of 1905.
the more new members, the more
new books. Let the public-spirit-
ed citizens of Marietta, those who
are now members and also those
who we hope will, in the near flu
ture become members, do all in
their power, by influence and by
work to increase the membership,
so that as Marietta grows the IL
brary will grow.

BORROWs NEIGHBOURS PAPER.

An exchange says: Occasionally
man tells us that he does not
subscribe for a newspaper, and
when asked if he never cares to
see lists of jurors, electors, legal
advertisements and other matters
of local interest that appear in his
home paper, he tells us that his
neighbor takes the paper, and that
when anything occurs that he is
especially interested in, he bor-
rows his neighbours paper. Some
time this excellent specimen of
man will die. The winds will
chant sad requiems over his grave,
his immediate family will grieve
for few days and expiate on his
excellence as husband and faith
er, and some one will prepare a
gushy obituary setting forth the
many noble Christian virtues of
the deceased, his liberal spirit as
a citizen, ETC., and the obituary
will be handed to us. Of course,
we will publish tat half regular
advertising rates-and the rela-
tives of this public-spirited man
will send in a request for a half
dozen copies of the paper, free,
and afterwards continue to bor-
row their neighbours paper.

WEALTH IN A SMALL FARM.

Two years ago, young man in
Atlanta found out that his $50 per
month was making it hard for him
to support himself and young wife
in the city. So he sat down one
night and carefully figured out his
problem. The next day he resign
ed his clerkship, and, with less
than 800 capital, took himself
and wife to small town North of
Atlanta, says the Macon Tele-
graph. He found an old farm of
10 acres for rent for ten bales of
cotton. The place had a small
comfortable house, passable barns
and a couple of shanty tenements.
The neighbors all told him that
to rent the place would be a losing
speculation.
But he rented the place and went
to work. His good credentials
procured him credit. He hired
three stout hands, and woman
to do the domestic work. He read
up diligently on cotton farming
aud kept close track with his most
successful neighbors. Last year,
after living we'll and working hard,
he paid his rent and debts and had
surplus enough to bring this years
work on a cash basis. Now he has
marketed his crop, and, without a
dollar of debt to pay, his bank
book shows balance to his credit
of over SO 600.
This is a simple and true story
and shows what the right sort of
man, even if an amateur, can do
on a small farm in Georgia A
hundred acres is not big patch
of ground to oversee and a man
bright enough to take lessons from
the wise and brave enough to use
them i'll personal battle with the
soil is sure to come ont a large
winner in the end.
There are like chances for fifty
thousand young men in Georgia
to depreciate the above mans ex-
perience every year. One hundred
acres produced for him this year
one hundred bales of cotton. That
much of a cotton farm intensiveiy
cultivated and cared for will not
only produce home luxury, but it
makes the owner comparatively an
independent man in a couple OF
decades.

Of the Atlanta Constitution Judge
CrumpackHr, of Indiana, has aban-

The Chicago Chronicle justly
says thatss ''the South does itself
an injury in not securing a large
part of the immigrants to this
country. With the proper care
that is now taken, the foreigners
landing on our shores are desir-
able. The South has need of
them. With immense tracts of
land waiting the labor of the farm
er and holticulturist, with soil
that responds promptly to the at
tention given to it, with a genial
climate that makes life inviting,
it is pity that the various re-
sources of the South should not
be more fully developed"

The slump in the price of cotton
from 104 to y cents has not heen
followed by decline in the price
of manufactured goods. The mills
are suffering as we'll as the farm
eEs, for they cannot afford to sell
goods made from 10 cent cotton in
competition with 7 cent cotton.
The mills and farmers should get
together, fix price for cotton, and
abolish those Wall street gam
blers, if such thing is possible.

HE'LL
AT LOW
PRICE

London, Detc. 2S.-Hell was sold at
auction, at Tuxford Hall, near
Retford, Nottingham, a few days ago.
1t was not the hades of Dante, but
a smaller sheol constructed by one r.
IS. Wilson, which went under the ham
mer. Wilson was an eccentric man
of considerable wealth and when he
died recently he left his country seat
literally crammed with relics and Gu
rios of all sorts. BY all odds the most
remarkable feature was the model hell,
which Wilson made with his own
hands, This consisted of a deep, wide
hole called the "inferno A." into which
Wilson for eighteen years had cast i'm
ages Of many sorts, which he termed
demons.
Prominent among these inmates of
perdition were king alcohol, the to-
baceo fends the hypoerite and time
server, the religious lawyer and the
man who called hell to a square inch
where he was converted, the chattering
charwoman and the president Of the
Primrose league.
"The woman with the proud look and
lying tongue" was portrayed as be-
quilting the ''young man whose heart
ia void Of understanding"
The Phoenix park murderers-''Joe
Brady" and "'Skin the Goat'-with
President Kruger and the far party,
formed the principal figures in the pop
%ulation Of the bottommost parts of
hell. In addition there was a varied as
cortment Of less notorious demons, such
as ordinary liars, thieves, murderers,
and other undesirable persons.
The entrance TO hell was underneath
an arch built of roughly.hewn stones,
on the left hand side of which was a
colossal statue Of Satan heavily bound
with letters. He was portrayed look
ing upwards towards the tail of the
weathercock surmounting the spire of
a local church. He was holding a
skull, representing death, in his hands,
and bore a hideous grin on his face.
He'll was sold for $3.50. A man
named Ford acquired the internal prop
erty, with all its satanic host, for this
small sun. The stone figure Of the
devil was knocked down for $3.50. 81

SCHOOL
BOARD
REFORM
Bills Are Contracted
Without Direct
Authority
Records Show Bills Allowed
Without any OK. but Aud.
iting Committee

There is some dissatisfaction among
members Of the school board at the
way bills come into them without en-.
dorsement by any committee or per.
son directly authorized by the board
to make purchases. There is a pur.
chasing or supply committee, but very
rarely does their name appear on bills
that are presented. The bills come,
and before they can be paid have to
be approved by the auditing commit
tee, composed of DR.. Byrd and A. o.
Condit. Following are some of the
bills as they come in and o. KID by
the different persons who knew of the
facts, and then endorsed by the au-
diting committee. In no case are the
bills sworn TO, and in very few cases
are they vouched for by the purchas-
ing or supply committee of the school
board. The first named is the claim
ant, the second by whom o. K,'d,
with the amount:
Patton Bros.-L r. Traver, $15.42,
A. H. Diamond. A. Nye, $3.50.
J.. G. Marsh-L. R. Traver, So,
C. II. Jones, A. o. Condit, $40.
John Hughes, $61.9l.

Bernardo & Dunsford, 5000.
Otis Kennon, $615.45.
The last named bills are under a
contract with the school board, and
the John Hughes bill was an open ac-
count running over a large part of
the past year, no item o. KID by any
one. DIR. Byrd, at the last meeting of
the school board, objected to paying
some Of these bills, but there was
some explanation offered in each case.
Such a sysetm is open to abuse. II is
proposed that all supplies be pur'
chased at wholesale and in large lots,
50 as to ave the discounts. The pur-
chasing committee for the school dis
trict should be required to advertise
for bids and purchase for all of the
schools instead of turning over the
purchases to employees of the board of
education.
