GEN. GRANTS WOUND.
Youthful Fred D. Is Declared Not to
Have Been Hurt in Line of Duty.

February 20 was the forty seventh an
niversary of the day that Maj Gen.
Frederick ID. Grant was shot during the
siege Of Nicksburg the event which has
been the basis of the demand by Vice
President Sherman that Gen Grant be
enrolled as Civil war veteran.
Or. G. A. Blake ofyWest Brookfeld has
come out with evidence TO show that the
wound received by Gen. Grant was not
III the line of military duty The man
who handled the rifle which was respon-
sible for the wound. says DIR. Blake was
the late Caleb Perry. for many years a
carpenter on the state farm at Bridge
water and prior to that a hunter and
sharpsho0ters of note.
At the beginning of the siege of Eicks.
burg Perry was stationed about the regu-
lar Union forces on the Mississippi river,
with orders to shoot at all persons and
craft attempting to pass him without
permission. The boy Giant and com
paniOn, according TO the story related to
DIR. Blake by Perry. were in camp with
their parents and Went out on excursions
which had nothing TO do with military
duty and which frequently placed them
in jeopardy.
On the night of February 20, 1863, so
Perry's story goes, the two boys were
out in canoe, and in returning TO camp
passed the spot Wnefe the SndFpSlOOIeF
lay concealed. Perry said they did not
heed his warning to stop, and, after fir
ing in the air, he took aim and wounded
young Grant. The next day Perry was
called on the carpet. for it had been as
certained by Gen. Z. S. Grant that he
was the man responsible for the shoot
ing. What threatened to be, if not
court martial, at least severe lecture,
turned into dismissal from headquarters
when he exhibited his order TO shoot all
who passed without needing his warning
Perry puts Gen. Grant on record as
being moved almost to tears when he
found that his son had unwittingly
strayed into the trap set by UGion sol
diers for Confederate soldiers, and the
outcome of the affair was that Fred got
more of a reprimand than had been orig
inally intended for Perry.-Boston Cor.

CLOSING EXERCISES
Of SPRUELL SCHOOL.
Judge Moses Wright Makes
Brilliant Speech Before
Large Audience.

The closing exercises of the Spruell
School included a contest in oratory
| Tuesday evening by the boys and the
graduation Wednesday evening of Miss
Emma Pope Moss. She, being the en-
tire class her teacher said, took first
honor and also stood foot.
In the boys contest James Pal Brad
ley won the gold medal with The
Deathbed of Benedict Arnold" The
judges were Mayor Clay, Col ]. Glenn
Giles and Judge Morris. All the boys
did well and several received honor
able mention.
Wednesday evening there was a
humorous recitation by Miss Annelle
billiard, The Kentucky Philosopher"
and Miss Moss recited her essay on
THE Power of Song" She is a hand
some brunette and has a fine stage
presence without a trace of affecta-
ton and her recitation was extremely
good. The essay was written in fine
but simple language and cited num-
bers of incidents illustrating the sub
ject 1t closed with assertions en-
phasizing the value as we'll as the pow
er of song and urging every one to
cultivate an appreciation of music al
though without ability to produce it.
Judge Moses Wright, of Rome, made
an address on the value of education
In the beginning he paid a tribute to
youth and said he would rather be
barefoot boy fishing for horny heads
in Georgia creek, than to be hunting
lions in Africa with Roosevelt He
told the boys what Emerson meant by
advising them to hitch their wagons
to star, and explained Thomas Car
lyle's cloth man" as one who was
subservient to dress and dependent
ON tailors and fashions taking nothing
so seriously as clothes and points of
etiquette He talked also about the
worship of mammOn and the undue i'm
portance attached to appearances.
Touching on old-fashioned love, he
recited a tender little poem from
Robert Burns.
Professor Spruell, after bestowine
her diploma upon Miss Moss with a
brief speech, expressed his appre
citation of Judge Wright's eloquent
address, calling his words flowing sill
yer in their smoothness and beauty.
Miss Maud Foster gave .severa
selections on the piano that We're very
much enjoyed.

Give the Children Rest.

All the schools are closed, and these
buildinge are as banquet halls desert
ed - The teachers are enjoying rest
after a hard years work, and even the
janitors feel that they should be free of
toll for while.
While this is true of these grown-ups,
what are you parents doing with the
children? Do you require them to study
at home so many hours day, that they
may skip grade or catch up with some
other pupil with just little better
record in the grader If you are doing
this, you should stop it right now. The
little boy and the little girl need rest,
both of body and mind, as much as their
seniors. Turn them aloose, and keep
them from books until the time OF
re-opening of the schools. With long
rest and full opportunity to enjoy the
good old summer time, you will hnd
your child is III far better condition tc
meet your expectations the next tern
than if yon required what should be
vacation spent in study.

Parsonage Shower.

he parsonage shower at the Meth
odist church Friday afternoon was
very pleasant and interesting. Miss
Granting presided with grace and ease
and Mrs. Frey read without comment
appropriate selections from the Scrip
lures. Mrs. Milan, of Atlanta, talked
about the work for parsOnages and
Mrs. Chalker spoke from the expert
ences of one who had lived in various
parsonages very happily.
Miss Bryan played on the piano
Mrs, Charlie Stephens played on the
organ when hymns were sung. Mrs
Cater led in prayer. The contributions
were useful, and various, from tea
strainers, lemon-squeezers, combined
graters and slicers, up to rugs, table
linen, dishes, kitchen utensils land
preserves.
Refreshments were served by q
number of pretty girls and the ladies
chatted of many things, from missions
IN China to the best way of exchang
ing duplicate presents.

1t may be some fault will be found
with these figures by the unbeliever,
who probably may insist that they
merely represent the individual opin-
ions of the various members of the
several boards of assessors whose duty
it has been to pass upon the real taxa
bic value OF the city's realty. The re-
ply is that the amounts given in by
the individual taxpayers have shown
the same relative increase as on real
estate. In 1901 the total amount OF
personal property, subject to tax with
in the city's limits, was 1928, 1856, while
in 1909, the last year for which it has
been footed up, this character OF prop
erty had grown to $752,7H.

MAYORS COURTROOM
DARK EBONY HUE,
And His Honor, for SAM
tary and Other Reasons,
Moves Upstairs.

The little council chamber over at the
courthouse was unable to measure ND
to space requirements Monday night,
and Mayor Clay and his court officers
were compelled to hold the weekly
matinee in the Superior courtroom up
stairs.
No bunch of plain DRINKS and dis
orderlies made this necessary. True,
there were quite number of these, but
1t was the presence of something like
four hundred members of Mount Zion
Baptist church, colored, corner of Lemon
and Haynes streets, who came in
platoons. 1t was the biggest police
court the town ever saw, and its like
will hardly be again
Rev. R. D. Airline has been pastor of
Mt. Zion for two years, and according to
statements of some of the members, his
services were satisfactory, and these
members proposed to keep him there
another year. Others objected and the
organization became divided into two
factions. This eliminated in a row
Friday night, when the police were
called to the church and made cases
against Airline and seven of his flock,
the charges being disorderly conduct.
The cases were set for trial Monday
night, but there was nothing doing"
from the prosecutions standpoint The
belligerants had stacked arms, and none
of the faithful could be found willing to
swear who it was responsible for the
making of night hideous for two hours
in the northeastern part of town Friday
night.
There was nothing to do but discharge
the whole lot, which Mayor Clay re-
1uctantly did, and turned his attention
to seven cases of plain DRINKS and dis
orderly. These were easy, and were
disposed of in nearly as many minutes,
with convictions in each case and the
total fines amounting to $43

MAR|ETTA'S GROWTH
FOR PAST DECADE
Some Figures Showing the
City's Material Ad-
VanCement.

Although the work of the census
enumerators was completed q month
ago, and forwarded to the bureau in
Washington, nothing has as yet been
given out as to the number of residents
in Marietta. AS to what these figures
will finally prove to be, there are vari-
Gus and sundry conjectures, ranging
generally from $500 to $500.
There are other means, however, of
arriving at a correct conclusion as to
whether the town has gone backward,
stood still or advanced. These are in
the figures constituting the city's real
estate values for the past decade, and
are really more indicative of our ma
terial well-being than the counting of
noses.
Since the local act authorizing a
board OF tax assessors for the city was
passed ten years ago, the volume OF
Marietta's real estate has increased
nearly million dollars, or, to be ex-
act, 976.600.00 Reduced to percent
age, the increased values represent
81 per cent. more in 1910 than in 1901.
This increase has been gradual and
steady, there being only one instance
during the time stated in which the
amount was less than the preceding
year.
Given by years, the following are
the figures as taken from the records
of tho pitu pOuppil.

High School Athletic Field.

A vacant lot within a stones throw
of the academy building, adjoining
the home property of Col. w. r.
Power, has been rented by Prof Du-
mas, and will be converted into an
athletic field, to be used by the boys
and girls of the High School. The
tract contains a little less than two
acres, and is admirably adapted for
field sports for the boys, and for games
OF basketball and tennis for the girls
Since these features Of school life have
become 50 nearly a necessity, the
management is to be congratulated
upon this improvement on what is
already one OF the finest public school
systems in Georgia.

WATER AND SEWERAGE
PRACTICALLY IN SIGHT
Water Board Pushing the
Work On Systems to
Completion.

1t is question OF a short while until
Marietta's new water and sewerage
systems are fully established. The
deep-well boring is being pushed with
all possible vigor, and, with the passing
of euch day, the drill goes farther Chi
navarro. Tuesday night depth of two
hundred and fifty feet had been reach
ed, and it is proposed by the Board to
carry this particular we'll fifty feet
deeper.
The first test of capacity that was
had demonstrated flow of 81, 900 gal
Ions per day of twenty-four hours, this
being obtained at depth of one hun
dred and fifty feet. The second test,
made week ago, at two hundred feet,
showed capacity Of l20 900 gallons per
day. A third test, at TWO hundred and
fifty feet. is being made as the Journal
and Courier goes to press, and it is ex.
pected the flow will measure, at least,
$50 900 grllons, possibly more. Should
this increase be maintained. when the
work is completed, at three hundred
feet, enough water will be secured to
equal i'll amount the quantity now
being consumed by the citizens of the
city.
But the authorities, realizing that
the hes,th of community is Its best
and chief asset, and that perfect sys
tenn of sewerage, with full supply of
water, is necessary possession to this
end, propose to duplicate this we'll at
point two hundred feet away, and, if
necessary, even third we'll will be
bored. The estimate is that when
fully connected, water pipes and sever
age, a flow of 100000 to 100000 daily
capacity will be required.
a to the apprehension in some quar-
terry that the supply of water may be
seriously diminished by a protracted
drouth, and that its purity may be af
iected by surface drainage, the experts
say this cannot be, that the wells are to
be encased for distance of more than
hundred feet, which of necessity will
preclude either of these possibilities
The we'll now being tested is lined for
depth of one hundred and five feet.
A sidetrack is now being graded from
the Louisville and Nashville railroad 90

quarter of mile This will be needed

lined with concrete, and will be sixty
four feet in diameter, with a depth OF
twelve feet.
The standpipe, to be located just
north of the old Campbell residence, on
the summit of the hill, will be forty
feet in diameter, with height of about
sixty feet

Early Peaches Begin to Move

Early peaches of all binds show up
better than ever before. They are free
from stiDgs and deformities, are we'll
colored, and this will likely be true OF
later varieties.
The peach outlook throughout the
State was never b tier, and it has been
many years since the grower has been
so greatly encouraged by the prospects
