SAFE CRACKERS ENTER
A MARIETTA HOME
Burglarize Safe at Mr.. John
ID. Northcutt's and Get
$104-No Clue

Safe crackers entered the home of
Mr.. John d. Northcutt on Atlanta
street Saturday afternoon and robbed
Mrs. Northcutt's safe of $l04. The
robbery was a most remarkable one
and there is no clue to the perpetrators.
| Mr. Northcutt's home is one of the
handsomest in Marietta, standing we'll
back from the street, with a large
lawn shaded by immense oaks 1t
and its twin-building, the home OF Mr..
r. H. NOrthcutt, attract great deal
of attention from visitors to the city.
The front room on the south side of
the building is the sitting room and
opening into it is bed room in which
stood the safe strong box about three
feet in height, in which Mrs. North
cult kept her papers and usually a
small amount of change for use about
the house Several days ago she re-
ceived $l04 belonging to Mr.. North
cult, who was away in the mountains
for a short time. She placed the
money in the safe, awaiting such in
structions as he might give in regard
to the money.
Saturday afternoon at three O'Clock
Mrs NOrthcutt left the house with the
children for an automobile ride. She
passed through the room just before
she left and remembers that the safe
was locked and all right She was
gone about an hour, returning at four
O'Clock. Passing from the sitting
room into the bed room she was
astounded to see the heavy iron door
OF the safe lying on the floor. The
money was gone, but the valuable
! papers had not been taken.
Mrs. Floyd Northcutt and Mrs Leon
Gilbert had been in the sitting room
for the entire hour OF Mrs. Northcutt's
absence except for about fifteen
minutes The cook had been in the
kitchen baking cake and the colored
gardener had been in the back yard
sweeping. Not one OF them had seen
the burglar nor had any one heard an
explosion.
1t is not known how the safe was
cracked. The lower hinge had been
broken off, but whether it was done
with nitro. glycerine or priced off with
a crowbar is not known The safe door
was living about two feet from the safe.
with the combination side uppermost
and the bolts were sent as when the
safe is locked.
The safe i not large one and an
expert could have broken the hinge
and have laid the door upon the floor
without making any noise.
Some young blood hounds were sent
for but they had not been sufficiently
trained to enable them to follow the
trail.

CLAY MONUMENT
FUND IS ASSURED
Committee Meeting Held
Tuesday Shows So, 700
Already Subscribed

Several members of the committee
appointed to solicit subscriptions for
the purpose of erecting monument to
the memory of Senator A. S Clay met
at the Court House at 1890 Tuesday
morning and reported what they had
done. In the absence of Mr.. d. w.
Blair and Mr.. E. w. Lemon, Chairman
and Vice-chairman, respectively, Mr..
Gordon B. Gam presided over the
meeting. Minutes of the last meeting
were read and adopted and short talks
were made by several Of the commit
teemen present.
Reports were made by forty of the
Committee, which, together with the
previous amount subscribed, makes
approximately $4,000 which has
been subscribed to date. A large part
of the Committee was prevented from
being present on account of Indictment
weather, but it is believed that within
short time a sufficient amount will
be in hand to guarantee the success of
the undertaking.
On motion of Mr.. S. Y. Stribbling, of
Roswell, Committee consisting of
Mr.. d. W. Blair, Mr.. E. w. Lemon, Mr..
Fred Morris, DIR. J D. Middlebrooks, of
Powder Springs: Mr.. Jake c. Moore,
of Smyrna; Mr. Geo. H. Keller, of
Marietta, and Mr.. S. Y. Stribbling of
Roswell, were appointed by the pre-
siding officer as a Contracting Com
mittee" and authorized to ask for de-
signs and bids, and to close the con-
tract for the purchase of the monu-
ment when a sufficient sum had been
pledged to authorize them to buy the
same.
1t is now confidently believed that
within the next thirty days the bal
ance of the amount necessary to erect
one of the most handsome monuments
ever built in Georgia will be in hand,
and the Committee will be in a posi-
ton to award the contract. Several of
the Committee present spoke enthu-
siastically of the hearty response they
had met in their efforts and the cheer
fulness with which the citizens gen.
orally had subscribed to the undertake
ing.

EVERY MAN LOST HIS VOTE
All the Electors in One Ohio Dis
trict Guilty of Selling the
Ballot.

West Union, hio.-Seventy-three
more indictments were returned by
the grand jury probing the selling of
votes in Adams county, under the d.
rection of Judge A. z. Blair. Seven
ty persons were arraigned, making
the total to date 376 arraigned and
1,O71 indicted.
Judge Blair said it may become
necessary to indict men who have
bought votes, in order to make
clean sweep of all the guilty ones and
to bring about the desired reforms.
1t was discovered that single voter
will be left in one school district in
Jefferson township which includes
Wamsleyville. Every citizen has
been indicted, but none has been ar
rested. Two more ministers, both
residents of Green township, were
indicted. The court officials decline
to give out their names. Each re-
ceived S. for his vote. One young
man confessed that he sold out to his
own father and received $40 for his
vote.
The oldest voter in the county,
man of "a, has been disfranchised,
and he says that he expects never to
vote again. Many persons are plac-
ing chattel mortgages on their furni-
ture to raise the money to pay their
fines.
Judge Blair said that the jury
would adjourn Saturday for a few
days to enable him to review the
work. Frank Shiveley, the Demo-
cratic prosecutor-elect, will assume
charge Monday. . James Williams,
sheriff-elect, a Democrat, will also
take office next week and is engaging
extra deputies.

FARM BURROWS.
Farmer and Stockman

If one man could rule the weather
and he tried to please all, our wealth
er would not be much different from
what it is. For instance, last week il
showed. That pleased some, some
didn't want it to snow at all, while
others wanted it to snow more than
it did.
Running an engine in cold weather
is not always a picnic. A steam en-
CINE means constant care to prevent
pipes or hose from freezing over
night, while the gasoline engine is Of
ten hard to start on a cold morning.
A teakettle of hot water poured on
the mixer or carburetor is often a
cure for the cold weather ill.
When man does the same thing
wrong twice in succession no one
ought to pity him, but how about it
when wrong one year is right the
=. next? l think this way about deep
cultivation of corn. Some years it's
the thing, some years it's all wrong.
Everything seems to go wrong
when you have the stovepipe down
to clean it. Just as l started such a
job, the other day, all the hogs broke
out When got them back in and
the fence fixed and only nicely inter-
ested again in the stovepipe job, in
drove couple of preachers.
Last night neighbor told me his
way of removing large evergreen,
and he said it would grow in its new
location nine times out of ten. First
of all, he digs hole four feet across
where he wants the tree to set, and
as deep as necessary. Then, just be-
fore freeze-up, he goes to the ever
green to be removed and cuts around
it Just the size of the hole already
dug. When frozen solid he prizes up
with bars and sets in the hole pro-
vided for it. As the ground thaws
he lamps solidly and then mulches
with old hay.
A German friend of mine is great
believer in the use of commercial fer
tilizers. He says they used to put a

spoonful with each potatoe dropped
when planting, and the vines would
come up a rich, dark green color. He
says the fertilizer would always make
a crop two weeks earlier than where
no fertilizers were used. Next season
he will try fertilizer for the first time
on potatoes in this country.
have neighbor who grinds for an
hour or so every morning, to feed a
bunch of steers. He uses a water
cooled gasoline engine, and as soon as
he stops he runs out the warmed wa
ter and uses it in his slop barrel. The
way the hogs 60 after that warmed
slop, he says, is good to see.
To save time is one of the things
we are all striving for. | have a
neighbor who wanted to buy 1000
bushels of corn. Instead of taking it
in load at a time from neighbors
who have corn to sell, he went to the
elevator and bought 1000 bushels,
shelled, and hauled it himself. He
says he saved time, while his neigh
bors would rather haul to the elevator
in town, where the load is dumped
and there is chance to chat awhile.
When a pumping engine replaces a
windmill that has stood for yesrs, it
looks as though something were miss
ing from the place. 1t is quite pos
sible that the old windmill landmarks
will be missing altogether in a few
years.
AS long as it takes only one day to
change our good roads into bad ones,
we will have the good roads question
with us. Grading and draining are
great helps, but most of'us are will
ing to let the other fellow do the work
and pay the bills while we pat them
on the back and tell them what good
fellows they are.
We are having steady, cold weather,
but the absence of snow rather dulls
the cutting edge of the wind and is
shortening the feeding season, thing
that is welcomed in this section be-
cause there is shortage in the hay
crop compared with last year.
It is a great deal easier to do the

chores where there is barn large
enough to hold all the feed and cattle
so that everything can be done inside,
than where the buildings call for a
great deal of outside work especially
on stormy days. But this should not
prevent those who have no barns
from doing their level best. Most OF
those who have modern barns went
through a pretty siege Of disagreeable
work before they got them.
Most of us have learned that we
must feed our cows we'll and take good
care of them in order to have them
produce enough to pay us for their
feed and our work in caring for them.
When we learn to regard our fields
as something that must be fed and
cared for instead of mine we will
be better farmers.
Every landlord and tenant should
read and study the printed parts Of
their contract before signing. They
are just as binding as the parts that
are written and contain "jokers" that
have made enemies Of the best of
friends. "Never sign paper that
you do not thoroughly understand" is
good advice that should be pasted in
many hat.
We may not see ten-cent hogs this
winter, but where the feeding is done
in open yards the favorable weather
is helping make up the difference
Shoveling snow to make a bare spot
for the hogs to eat on is not a pleas
ant task especially when it must be
repeated every day.
! don't know exactly what olemar-
gerine is made of, but | understand
that it is mixture of grease and oils
which some claim is good enough
butter for the poor man. This may
be true, but if its unrestricted sale
should drive butter out of the market
there is no doubt but what the poor
man would be asked to pay a rich
man fspfice for it.
A couple of years ago many of us
would stop our teams in the fields to
watch an automobile spin along the
road, but now after the agents have
had nine months of good roads to help
them push the sale of their cars an
automobile does not attract as much
attention as load of hay.
The trouble with some mixers who
are trying to 'break" anervons heifer
to stand still while she is being MIXED
is that they seem to think that they
must go through about the same
motions in breaking heifer that they
do in breaking rocks. The result is
that they spoil more heifers than they
''break."
It is getting so that about the only
game that is not protected by some
law is the stray dog and the fact that
a good dog is such good friend keeps
many of us from shooting his erring
brother before he is caught in the act
Of doing some damage. !
A willow grove may be nuisance,

but will take dish of we'll cooked
turnips'any day in preference to any
dish having a French name fastened
to it as long as a six-footer's arm.
There are many vegetables more fiji
to be thrown among the refuse than
the lowly turnip, but the turnip, like
anything else, must be cooked by one
who knows how, to be good.
The woman never lived who, after
the corn has been shelled, and there
is big pile of cobs outdoors, did not
wish for the whole lot to be put I'M
der cover. A man cannot account
for such a wish until he has done the
cooking for few days, and has had
to do with a refractory fire. He is
then in position to understand, and
no longer wonder at his wife's solic-
itation concerning the fuel.
No time like Christmas time re-
minds us of the splendid condition of
the farmer and his family. Many
and many boy and girl, in every
city, hung up the stocking to find
nothing in it at the first streak of
light in the east. The parents are
simply too poor to buy the simple and
inexpensive toy that makes the child
happy all the day and for many days
thereafter. No farmer is so poor but
what the children get an ample
Christmas offering.
Buying an automobile seems to
change the nature of some men. Be-
fore they owned a car they would
keep the middle of the road and COM
pei the autoist to get out on the side
if he wished to pass, but now when
they come up behind a team in their
own auto they expect the team to
clear the track when they foot their
horn.
For short time after freshening a
a good cow will give a good mess of
milk with just ordinary care, but if
she is to continue the good work it
will take a careful choreman and a
good feeder to look after her. Those
who do their chores in the hop, skip
and jump fashion should not take up
dairying as part of their farm work.
The low-down wagon is getting
lower every year. What was consid-
ered a low-down wagon few years
ago is high-wheeler now, while the
low wagon of to-day would have been
laughed at as a freak ten years ago.
The only objection there is to low
wheeled wagon is that the owner will
put off buying a manure spreoder a
few years, because they are so easy
to load.
