J, H. DAVIS DIES
IN WILMINGTON
A rlarietta Merchant Dies
Away From Home
With Fever.

A telegram reached Marietta last
Thursday morning announcing the
death of Mr.. John H. Davis, a Marietta
merchant, which occurred in Whining
ton, n. c., where he had gone some
two weeks ago to attend the funeral of
his brother-in-law, where he was taken
down with typhoid fever, and so alarm
ing was his condition on Monday of last
week that his wife was telegraphed for.
She reached his bedside and was with
him in his last hours. His son, Mr.
Clarence Davis, left Wednesday for
Wilmington, but his father died before
he arrived. The end came about AS
o'clock on Wednesday night, the 10Th
inst. Mr.. Davis was AZ years of age
and leaves q wife and two children, a
son and daughter.
Mr.. Davis was at one time master
car builder of the Atlantic Coast Line
shops in Wilmington, which he held
until 1900 when he went with the Cen
trail of Georgia Railroad at Savannah.
He gave up that position last year and
came to Marietta and bought out the
Baldwin Grocery Co., from Len T..
Baldwin. which he has conducted ever
since.
he was a member of the Methodist
church and stood deservedly high in
the confidence and esteem of our peo-
pie as an upright gentleman, and his
unexpected death comes as q shock to
our people.
The interment took place at Will
mington.

C0BB'S INCREASE
S152,49O THIS YEAR
Over Last Year in Returns
of Taxable Property.
Splendid Showing.

Mr.. Foster Barber, tax receiver, has
finished the footing of his books, which
shows an increase in the tax returns of
property i'll Cobb county over last wear
OF 1852, 400. Mr.. Barber has $4,000 in
crease of unreturned property over
last year. This is a very creditable
showing for our county. Old Cobb
keeps up with the march of progress.
The prosperity OF the people in Cobb
county is self-evident. There has been
better crops, more money realized on
them more idle money in the banks,
less money being borrowed, better
homes and better furnished, better
stock, more fine horses, mules, hogs
and cows, than at any period since the
war. People have quit talking "hard
times" because their neighbors know
they are "easy times" and they would
laugh in their faces at the statement.
There is progress being made in town
and county, better school houses and
churches, enlarged manufacturing
plants, and greater number of en-
ployees, and more contented popula-
ton.
Matters are shaping to increase pros
perity and it all comes from the
'Bountiful Dispenser" of good things
to His creatures.
Let the people be grateful.

We NEED
A COTTON FACTORY
They Pay Elsewhere Why
Not Pay in Ma
rietta.

The cotton factories in Georgia have
paid good dividends. The Crown Mills
in Dalton have made money and keeps
on making money. The Canton cot
ton factory is prospecting and will con-
tinue to do we'll. Gainesville has
large cotton factory, working 400 hands.
The factories at Rome are piling up the
dividends. The two Monroe mills have
paid splendid dividends from the start.
The two in Eatonton lost money during
the first few years of their existence,
but we learn they are now paying very
well. The Greensboro mill was organ
lied with $85 900 paid in. The stock
holders borrowed $4,000 more, thus
erecting a mill which cost 1925, 000
Every dollar of this loan has been paid
from the earnings of the mill, which is
only little over four years old, and
the profits from this years output will
go to the stockholders as dividends.
The mill already has enough goods sold
to run it through October with profits
in sight which will net over 81 900.
Why not Marietta add q cotton fac
tory to her manufacturing industries?
1t would increase population, make
more houses in demand, add to the
trade of merchants, and give additional
impetus to the growth and prosperity
of the town.

EIGHT HOBOS
IN THE TOLLS
For Stealing a Ride on
the Trains. The Laws
Maker Rides Free,

Eight men, white and colored, have
been placed in Cobb county jail in the
last week for stealing rides on the
trains. These poor fellows ought to
belong to the Georgia Legislature, then
they would be given "free passes" and
draw mileage for the same from the
state treasury. 1t looks little incon-
sistent for those legislators to make
laws to punish these penniless tramps
for riding on the blind mail" while
the legislator with pocket full of
money sits in the elegant passenger
coach riding on free pass"

GREATEST BHTTCE IN HISTORY
Conflict Around Mukden So observation-disclosures One of
Worlds Greatest Soldiers. &s -

A correspondent who accompanied
the Japanese army under Gen. Kuro-
XII thus describes the movements Of
the greatest battle known to his
tory:
Oyama's victorious troops are pur-
suing Kouropatkin's army. crushed
and demora1ized. In the greatest bat
tie known to history the Russians
have been routed from their chosen
stronghold SO carefully prepared.
System. system, and again system has
triumphed over graft" and disorgan-
ization.
1t is fair to assume that Kouropat-
kin fortnight ago had at his dis
posal between the Sha river and Tie
Pass 100000 electives at least. Oya-
ma is far too sagacious to have tried
to envelop such a great force unless
he had more men than his brave but
over-cautious adversary. So whatever
the reports spread to deceive kouro-
patkin. the Japanese, probably had
100000 men at least when Oyama
first attacked in this battle Feb. 26.
This estimate, of course, includes the
reserves that have been hurried for
ward and Nogi's army that took Port
Arthur.
Oyams's Report.
Oyama announced to his sovereign
On March 10 that he had successfully
completed his enveloping movement.
''ir which we have been engaged for
some days past" The days past"
tn en numbered thirteen.
In all those days Oyama made not
cne feint. He struck again and again,
but wherever he struck he was fight
ing. not feinting. BY his constant at
tacks he concealed. his main purpose,
his final aim. He confused his enemy,
who undoubtedly was Handicapped by
an inefficient intelligence department.
The Japanese enveloping movement
began Feb. 26 by Gen. Kurokis right
wing. The scene of operations was
fifty miles southeast of Mukden, in
front and west of Tia Pass, an I'M
portant def1le commanding the road
to Fushun, the eastern key to Muk-
den and about eighteen miles away
from it. Next day, displaying the
most desperate bravery, "clinging to
the rocks like leeches," the Japanese
threw a force across the Sha river
in the center of operations. All was
quiet then on the Russian right wing
to the east.
Vigorous Attack.
So vigorous was Kuroki's attack en-
the Russian left wing that Kouropat-
kin weakened his center by sending
a whole army corps to reinforce his
left. March Gen. Kaulbars seemed
to successfully resist Kuroki. but a
general engagement began along the
whole ninety miles of front, the Rus

Then by some military magic, by a

Arthur veterans appeared opposite the
Russian right flank. To them and
Gen. Nodzu's army was assigned the
task OF crumpling back the Russians
and threatening Mukden from the

strations strong Japanese force was
pushed to. the northeast to cut the

around Kouropatkin great cord of

resistance continued his drives
around boths wings OF the Russian
army Last Monday Oyama's front
was like huge bow, the base on the
Sha river, the right arm reaching out
east of Fusfun and the left arm ex
tending west and north Of Mukden.
March 6 the scouts of Gen. Nogi's
army, on the west, and of Kurokis g
met at Tie Pass; the iron circle was
forged, but was not welded at the
north. 1t was the beginning of the
end. Kouropatkin abandoned his
strong position on tho Sha river un-
der cover of darkness. The Japanese,
attacking at once from all four sides,
drove. the Russians into Mukden,
which was entirely untenable. Friday
Kouropatkin telegraphed to the czar,
Last night began the retreat of all
our armies
The japanese occupied Teta Thurs
day morning, Fushun Thursday night
Mukden Friday morning. They had al
ready invested Tie Pass, prepared for
the Russians last stand, and cut tbs
railway.
Kuroki was advancing northwest
driving the panic-stricken Russians
against the japanese western armies
Kouroratkin seems to have sacri
feed his rear guard in last desperate
ottomrt to cut his way through his
enemy, probably toward the northeast
It is reported that the Russians have
lost 100000 men, killed, wounded and
prisoners, 1t remains to be seen
whether Mukden will be, literally, the
Russian Sedan, whether no remnant
escapes of the greatest army Russis
ever assembled.
