spacious auditorium filled with
interested friends last evening.

their audite4s in their mi lligcat
conception Of the parts assumed.
The opening piano selection from

attractive program. The iuVen-
lies in The Runaway Bear, 2 with
little Miss Margaret Ramsey as
leader and loser of her Teddy,
pathcticaIly touched every heart.
The many little supporters of this
fair little girl, both boys and
girls, did excelIently we'll in their
MARCHES and speeches.. The
intermediate girls and the boys Of
the same grade distinguished
themselves in singing and drills.
The Postlnan's Drill'' was some
thing entirely fresh and new aSd
was cordially enjoyed. The
chorus from Gounod by the senior
girls and the duo by Winnie Bell
McGrath, violin, and Cullen
Storm, cornet, were appreciated
numbers, while the Drama and
Farce caught the popular wave.
Cullen Storm, cornetlst, and
Winnie Bell and Ralph McGrath,
violinists, deserve special mention
in their conspicuous roles, which

After a Big Reward.


Frank Walker, a noted Negro
detective, who holds recommended
Itions from many high authorities,
has been in the city since Sunday
looking up Bob Myers, who mur.
dered Sheriff W. p. McDougaIl o1
Carroll county last October.
Frank carries with him a big
bunch Of newspaper clippings tel
ing of his captures aud doings,
many of the papers calling him
the negro Sherlock Holmes,
Walker claims that the only crim-
inals he makes a speciality of are
thieves and murderers.
It will be remembered that al
the time Myers killed the sheriff
with d double baTreled shot gun,
reward of $1,000 was offered by
relatives and friends, which still
stands, which Walker is after.
Myers was located BY Walker il
Baton Rouge two weeks ago, bul
|on account Of the failure of the
police to help him, Myers gol
away, and is still at large.
Walker was instrumental iu
making the arrest in st. Joseph,
La, d few weeks ago Of Peete
Collins who murdered Duncan
Walton, q negro constable in 1895
+ in jefferson county.

Attention, KNIGHTS TempIar.

Hon. Frank "A. McLain was in
Brookhagen few hours Friday
afternoon and evening and shook
hands with number of his con-
Istituents during bis short visit.
He is in fine health and the best
of spirits, the only noticeable diff
ference in his appearance now
and two years ago being that his
hair has frosted decidedly since
that time. Otherwise he is the
picture of manly strength and
vigor.
Asked BY The Leader about the
erection of Broekhaven's Federal
building, for which be secured an
appropriation of $4,000, Mr..
McLain said that the date at
which the construction would
actually begin would depend Il
great deal on the interest the peo-
pie here take in keeping in COM
mnnicaEion with the Treasury
Department and seeing that there
are no needless delays. IF this is
done, this fall may witness the
contract let and the work begun.
He himself will cooperate in all
possible ways to push the build
ing along.
In the matter Of selecting the
site for which proposals are now
being invited through The Leader
By the Treasury Department, Mr..
Mchain said that eligibility and
other things being anything like
equal, the site that is offered the
cheapest would stand the best
chance of selection, as this would.
leave that much greater amount of
the appropriation to go into the
building itself and make it the
handsomar and better.
Mr.. McLain has not announced
ANY lis. of speaking appointments,
but expects to do SO a little later.

MAYOR jim WOODWARD.

Tie election of James &. Woodward
as mayor of Atlanta for the third time
by the citizens of Atlanta, emphasizes
the fact that the citizens of that city
think he has greater capacity for a
business mayor than any other citizen
His career as alderman, councilman
and mayor, filling these respective Of
fees for the past fifteen years, makes a
remarkable career.
Jim Woodward was born in Marie Sta,
and is now SO years of age. When the
Marietta Journal was started in 1855 he
was a typo and worked ON it here for
some time. He then took tour through
the States and located in Atlanta, where
he had worked on the Atlanta papers
off and on ever since. He is man OF
strong convictions and strong language,
and has made some bitter enemies as
well as fast friends. He will doubtless
be kept in the public eye for some time
to come.

COTTON MILLS.

We have been urging from time TO
time the people of Marietta and Cobb
county to build cotton factory here.
AS what can be accomplished in this
line, we desire to mention what has
been done in LAGRANGE, Ga.
Stockholders of the Unity Cotton
Mills in that city have decided to build,
at cost of between 100000 and $780,
900, a new mill about the same size as
the present plant, and located near the
present building. 1t will be known az
Unity No. 2. The investment WILDE
made out of the surplus which the
company has been accommodating during
the 81 years of its existence, and the
stockholders will not be called upon foI
a dollar. Contracts for the buildings
and machinery will be let as soon al
plans and specifications can be pre-.
pared. G. V. Truitt is president and
Fuller E Galloway treasurer of the
Unity Cotton Mills. This will be La'
Oranges sixth cotton mill. One cotton
m II generally brings another.

RETURNING PROSPERITY.

The Rome Tribune Herald gives forth
good cheer in regard to the prospects Of
better business conditions,
\ II believe that the south is respond
ing to returning prosperity more rapid
ly than the ncrth and east" said a rail-
road man. II have just returned from
a vacation spent in the north and east,
and ! took occasion to talk to number
of people on the subject of the return
of prosperity, and they agreed that con-
ditions there were not as good as they
were in the south.
Everybody, however, seemed to
feel that the entire country was going
ahead now and that conditions would
be normal again this winter. No one
is looking for big boom but all expect
steady, healthy growth of business
and return of prosperity
s"Everything:here seems to he prosper
ing and the tone OF business seems very
much better than when l went away"
The drummers who come Ito Mariet-
ia speak of an encouraging outlook for
business.
