IN MEMORIAL OF MR.. GEORGE +,
NEWELL,

At a meeting of the Directors of the
Kennesaw Marble Company, August
18th, 1904, the following memorial was
presented, unanimously approved and
ordered enrolled upon the minute book
of the company
Whereas: Since our last meeting our
Heavenly Father in His infinite wisdom,
has closed the life's duties and labors
of our la nented President, Mr.. Geo. F.
Newell, and taken him from us to
higher and grander sphere of action, we,
ever recognizing His love and mercy,
with deepest sorrow in our hearts, bow
in meek submission to His holy will,
Whereas; We the Directors of The
Kennesaw Marble Company. wish to
enroll upon our records, an appreciation
of our love and esteem for our departed
president and associate, shared in by
each and every employee of Mhe great
enterprise he has left behind him, a
monument of glory to his ability, in
dustry, and business honor. We feel
that no words of ours can speak so
plainly as slight review of his earthly
career.
Arriving in Marietta almost twenty
years ago, youth just merging into
manhood. in poor health, with no in
tiuential friends to advance his progress,
he started his life work with a solid
capital of industry, perseverance, integ-
rity, and the highest business honor, and
a personality full of the magnetism that
comes from loving heart and fruit
full brain. His sure and steady progress
onward and upward through all the
stages of prosperous business career is
recorded in living evidences along his
entire pathway. While to us it almost
seems that his departure from his field
of usefulness was premature, yet we
feel that there are many reasons why it
is gloly and gain to leave this world
while the sun Of our progress and sue.
cess is rolling Hight in the heavens.
AS President of this Company, and as
Vice President of the First National
Bank, as valued Director in the Glover
Machine Works, he was honored and
loved by all of his associates
AS Christian gentleman, as devoted
and atfectionate husband and father, as
a true friend to all of his employees, as
honored, progressive and upright citizen
among his fellow men, he had no supe-
riOr.
His sickness and death was as heroic
as ever gallant soldier upon field of
battle. He fought insidious disease
with the greatest courage, patience and
fortitude, ever cheerful, hopeful and
confident to the end.
His kind greetings, his noble acts and
deeds, his whole earthly record, will ever
live in our hearts, in happy memory.
RESOLVED: That we transmit to his
wife and son, each, copy of this memo
rial, with our tenderest sympathy, and
kindest regards.

BROKERS

FOR MORE THAN Sl5O, 600
Have Brought Suit to Re-
cover.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 13.-Through
fraudulent trades and false entries and
dishonest bookkeeping, the Bartlett,
Frazier e Darlington Co., grain and
sotck brokers, with offices in all large
cities lost $153, ,94S.39 by the operations
of two former trusted employees, George
u. Emery and Carl n. Baumann, ac-
cording to allegations made in a bill
OF complaint served today upon Bau-
man and Emery and their attorneys
by Charles F. Fawsett, attorney for
the commission firm.
The action by the Bartlett, Frazier
q Darlington company is an effort to
recover through civil suit the amount
of the alleged defalcation. In the
complaint it is stated that the opera
tions of the two employees cost the
company $l53,94S.39. This is the first
positive statement made by the COM
mission firm as to the amount of its
loss, although Baumann and Emery
were arrested almost a month ago
charged with embezzlement. At the
time of the arrest of the two men,
Manager William G. Duell of the Bart
lett, Frazier G. Darlington company,
said the loss would not exceed S25, 900.

men placed 100000 as the outside

NEW BUILDING
Completed at County In.
firmary.

The new building at the county in.
Urinary is now completed and will be
ready for occupancy just as soon as
the furniture is placed in the various
apartments. The directors have made
a purchase of furnishings for the en-
tire building, and as soon as these
arrive the rooms will be in use There
will be about so inmates who will
change their habitation from those
old shacks, which have been so dis.
creditable to the institution, to the
more commodious, and elegant abode
in the magnificent and modern new
building which has now been built
after so much controversy. The Morn
ing News was the medium through
which the vital need of this structure
was first brought to the attention OF
the public, and it was through this
papers persistent effort that a major
ity was maintained in favor of the
project.
The unwholesome conditions that
were manifest before the matter was
taken up are familiar to every reader
and the necessity for the new struc,
ture is not a doubtful issue in the
mind of any citizen. The superinten-
dent of the institution informs this
paper, that the old buildings will be
torn down at once and all vestige of
their disease infected condition de-
stroyed. This is a judicious course
for the superintendent to pursue be-
cause to permit the sheds to stand
would be to the detriment of the sur.
roundings and quite probably would
be injurious to the health of the in
mates.
The next thing needed In the way of
improvements at the county infirmary
will doubtless be the main building,
which is an old brick AFFAIR and not
equal to the remainder of the farm
structures In the way of fitness for
living apartments. This is an issue
that will be up for the consideration
of the people before great length of
time has elapsed.

DIAMOND
Robbery to be Followed
by Prosecution

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13-Knowledge
Of a diamond robbery in which Mr..
and Mrs. Mark Woods, of Lincoln,
were the victims was just disclosed
and will be followed by the prosecu-
tion of the Pullman Car company.
Mrs. Woods says she was robbed of
gems valued at $4,000 August 25 while
on train returning from New York
to Lincoln. They missed the jewels
before they reached Chicago. Mr.. and
Mrs. Woods were returning from va.
cation spent in New York and Ocean
Grove.
By misunderstanding the couple
took the fast limited express and only
after they were aboard did they learn
of the extra cost. The exposure of q
large roll Of money and the diamonds,
when they came to think about it,
alarmed them somewhat according to
the Woods. They hid the money and
Mrs. Woods pinned the Jewels In a
bag in her gown. In the morning the
gems were gone, though the money
was left.
The Pullman representatives caused
everybody In the car to be searched
as soon as the loss was discovered, but
the jewelry was not found. The Pull
man officials say this Is the most mys-
terious disappearance of valuables
they have had brought to their notice.

JUDGE PARKER
GOES TO NEW YORK THURS
DAY TO
CONSULT WITH LEADERS
Cheering Messages From
Visitors.

Rosemount, Esopus, NJ Y, Sept. 49,
Judge Parker viii go to New York
Thursday to remain a day and hold
consultation with the leaders of the
Democratic party from all parts of the
country, who will visit him at national
headquarters. The specific object of
his visit is unknown, bare mention of
his probable going to the metropolis
having been given out here tonight.
That its significance is great is un-
doubted from the fact that while in
New York the nominee will confer
with such men as Olney, Lamont, Hill
German, Jones and possibly Grover
Cleveland.
He has planned to stop at a hotel
while In the metropolis, remaining un-
til Friday morning when he will re-
turn to EsoDus. Further details of
the trip cannot be learned. 1t is
said at Rosemount tonight that the
contemplated journey to the metropo-
lis Is not due to a change in the can
didate's plans as it was forseen in the
statement issued two days since by
Secretary McCausland. 1t cannot,
under any stretch of the Imagination,
be construed as a determination by
Judge Parker to direct the campaign
from national headquarters from this
time forth.
Among the visitors today were John
Cadwallader, of Philadelphia, who
brought a friend, George w. Guthrie,
of the same city and Congressman
Henry T. Rainey, Of Carrollton, Ill.
Mr.. Cadwallader has something of "A
reputation as an orator and intends
to take the stump for Parker and Da-
Wis. His friend, Mr.. Guthrie, is also
going to speak.
Representative Rainey came with a
message of confidence in the Illinois
result. He says the Hopkins and the
Harrison factions are pulling might

much under the same animus that
impells the warning Democrats in
Greater New York to see how big q

thinks Illinois will make one of the
best showings of any of the doubtful
states.
The only other visitors today were
delegates from a Parker and Davis
club at Lawrence, l.. l., who came to
shake hands. Peter B. Olney, broth
er of Richard Olney, of Massachus-
etts, headed the contingent

COAL MEN
Enter Into "GentIemen's
Agreement"

Cleveland, Sept. 13-The announce
ment was made here today that the
owners of ten thin vein coal mines OF
the Pittsburg district had entered a
gentlemen's agreement to control the
output, price and shipping direction
of the coal of their mines. In this
agreement mine property to the value
of S7O,OO0,O00 is concerned and the ar
rangement provides that the Wabash
railroad through its control of the
west side belt line will be the CON
trolling factor. At present the pool
will not be governed by anything more
binding than the gentlemens agree
ment The step was made necessary
by the favorltism shown by the rail-
roads to their own mines in the matter
of shipping facilities.

Other papers state that great anxiety

P PEACHES PLENTIFUL
Hogs Are Being Turned
Into Orchards

Old wheat is bringing SLIP and new
wheat $1.10 at the Canton mills and
elevators. This is the highest that the
grain has brought for a long time
Some farmers are selling at this quo
tation, while others are holding off in
the hopes that the rate will go still
higher. The rates in Cleveland are
$1.16.
1t looks as though the markets of
Canton would be flooded with peaches
within the next few days. A good
common peach was selling on the
streets yesterday at 40 cents bushel
and the farmers who were selling them
stated that they would have large
quantities. One farmer stated that he
had already turned his hogs into the
peach orchard.
Late plums seem to be plentiful and
are in the market at comparatively
low figures. Apples can hardly be
sold at any price and they have to be
extra good to find sale. AS a result the
cider mills are beginning to get busy.
There are complaints from the toma-
to growers that this vegetable is not
ripening, owing to the cool nights. AS
a result good tomatoes are rather
scarce and it is feared before the crop
is fully harvested killing frost will
occur. The greatest loss would be
with those who have planted largely
for the canning establishments.
