Leonard returned and, at the ripe age
Of forty-fve, fell desperately in love
with Martha. aged forty
Leonard came west again week
before the wedding aL9ther ev'r
denoe of insanity. his sister said.
The day before the wedding he and
Martha disappeared as completely as
# the earth had swallowed them up
It was ten o'clock that morning be-
fore Mrs. Ward realized that her
brother had left the house without In
forming anybody as to his intentions,
She called up Martha's sister, with
whom Martha had made her home,
and asked If Leonard we're there. The
two had gone out together some time
before
Didn't they say anything about
getting licenae2" inquired Mrs
Ward.
Martha's sister was sure that moth
ing Of the sort had been said in her
presence. 1irs Ward hung up the
telephone receiver and then gave her
self up to the hopeless process OF try
ing to convince herself that James
couldn't have been such an idiot as
ID forget the marriage license
AT eleven O'Clock that night Leon
ard wandered in, happy and without
the license. To do him justice. he
was quite as much disturbed as the
most exacting sister could have
wished when he was told that there
would be barely time II the morning
for them to go down and get II and
return for the ceremony
He rose bright and early the next
morning and seemed SO alive TO the
seriousness OF the occasion that his
sister allowed him to leave the house
without any misgiyings as to what he
might do while away. However as
time passed and he did not return.
her serenity deserted her. She nd
geted uncomfortably for 15 minutes
or SO. then called up Martha's home.
She was informed by the maid who
answered the telephone that Leon
ard had Just left the house A sNbse-
ouent short interview with Martha's
sister revealed the fact that Martha
ana Leonard only a few moments be,
fore. when both their toilets should
have been well on the way to com
pletion. had been found reading po-
etry in the library.
"He certainly is crazy" said Leon
ards sister, almost in a tone OF awe
mot a bit more crazy than she u.s.,
said Martha's sister.
Fifteen minutes after Leonard had
returned home and then had disap-
peared into his own room, with strict
instructions from his sister not to do
any more foolish things until after ne
was married, Mrs Ward heard q
meek voice calling from the hall.
Carrie" the voice was saying, y
wonder II you could help me"
Mrs. ward went to the door Of her
room and looked out. In the hall
looking thinner and more forlorn
than she had any idea he could look

GOOD ROADS TOUR IS
COMING THROUGH COBB
CONSTITUTION SCOUT CAR WAS
IN MARIETTA TUESDAY.
Went on to Chattanooga Arranging
for Tour Over the Johnston
Sherman Battle Route.

The Atlanta Constitutions big scout
car, a seventy-horse Thomas Flyer.
rolled into Marietta Tuesday morning
and was quickly surrounded by a
crowd.
The car was occupied by Mr.. Fred
Lewis, of the editorial staff of The
Constitutions Mr.. A. N. Tumlin, Of
Cave Springs, president of the North
Georgia and Alabama Good Roads AS
ISOLATION; Mr. H. B. Odell and Mr..
d. d. Armstrong.
The car is making the tour from At
lanta to Chattanooga over the Sher-
an-Johnston battlefield route, return
ing via Lafayette, Cedartown, Rome
and Cartersville. The object is to arouse
interest in good roads tour and to
arrange for one to follow the South
Georgia tour which is to take place
the latter part of November and end
In Atlanta on December I'd. 1t is pro-
posed to let the tour include the Battle
Route to Chattanooga, with as many
new entries as possible. That would
make the tour take place early In De-
cember.
The scout car was met by Mayor
Clay, Mr.. c. w. DuPre, Postmaster
George H. Keller and a number of
other citizens. Colonel Moultrie M
Sessions, president of the chamber of
commerce, was out of the city and
could not be present.
Marietta was asked to give 500 for
prizes and Mayor Clay, Mr.. DuPre and
Mr. Keller at once guaranteed the
amount
After a few minutes most pleasantly
spent talking good roads and automo-
biles, good-byes were spoken and the
big car dashed around the park on it's
way to Chattanooga. 1t returned
Wednesday afternoon and the scouts
reported much enthusiasm and
bright outlook for the December Bat
tie Route Tour.

TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER
ON Commission FORM
COUNCIL MEETS THURSDAY TO
ORDER THE ELECTION.
If the Commission Form of Govern
ment is Adopted Three Men will
Manage Affairs of City.

The mayor and council of Marietta
will meet in solemn conclave Thurs
day and order an election to decide
whether they, themselves. shall be
abolished. Not the individual mem
bers of the present council, but wheth-
er Marietta shall have a mayor and
council at all.
The bill establishing a commission
form of government for Marietta. If
the people so vote. has been received
and the special meeting Of council is
to arrange for the election which
must be held early in November.
The Changes Proposed.
The Commission Form
Abolishes the mayor and council
and water board.
Substitutes three commissioners.
They name all subordinates.
Secretary of board" takes place of
Getty clerk" Salary $1,000 a year.
Recorder" tries cases. Salary SIS
a month.
Executive head of city government
called chairman of the board"
Commissioners serve without pay.
Terms six years, those first elected
serving two, four and six years, as
determined by lot.
Election of commissioners in De-
cember.
Will go into office when council goes
out in January.
Politics Much Confused.
The mayor and council had no part
in preparing the bill and pushing it
through the Legislature and they do
not feel called upon to get behind the
fight for commission form further than
to comply with the law and order the
election which provides for abolishing
themselves.
The most bothersome part of the
situation is the fact thai the election
over the commission form will take
up the time usually given to the city
campaign and candidates for mayor
and councilmen cannot announce until
the commission form question is dis
posed of, which will be along in No
vember, only three or four weeks be-
fore election.
Until that election is held no one
will know whether we are to have a
mayor and six councilmen, or three
commissioners, including a Chairman
of the board" There can be no real
campaign until it is known what Of
fees are to be filled.
Several Names Suggested.
Meantime there is talk of Mr.. Joe
Black, Mr.. Bolan Brumby and former
Mayor E. P. Dobbs for mayor.
If the commission form is adopted
there will be places for but three, in
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1911-09-01

Dobbs, Mr.. Tom Brumby, Sr., and Mr.
J. T. Anderson have been spoken of in
connection with commissionships in
the event that form of government is
adopted. Mr.. L. B. Robson has been
frequently mentioned on account of
his splendid work as member of the
water board. He is largely respons-
ible for the boring of the artesian
wells, which have so far proved such
a gratifying success. Mr.. Ed Massey
has also been mentioned as a man
who would make a splendid commits
sioner.
There has been little talk, so far,
about councilmen.

TO BUILD "sEPTIc TANKS"

The city is getting ready to build
septic tanks to prevent sewage from

land. There will be two of the tanks,
one near the Page bottoms and one
near the Lawrence bottoms.

Tribute to Jim Gillespie.

James L. Gillespie, the pres
ent land commissioner is a candi-
date for reelection He will be
remembered by many of the old
err citizens of Lee county, as he
served as a member of the legis-
lature of that county in or about
1888 or 1889, at which time he
was editor of the Tupelo Ledger,
afterwards moving to Green
wood, where he published for
years the Enterprise, one of the
best newspapers in the state and
is now the owner OF the Com
monwealth. one of the leading
journals of that section.
We have known Jim Gillespie
since the days Of early boyhood,
when we roamed the vine-clad
hills of old 'Pontotoc together.
and danced in our red top boots
on the puncheon floors with the
flat wood gals and rode double"
on a towheaded mule by the
light of the morning stars to
reach home before the rise of
the sun, and appear at the
breakfast table as innocent and
de 5oid of slumber as the rrat-
Ting babe that had peacefully
slept in it's mothers arms all
night. We have worked side by
side with him day in and day
out, in the struggle with young
life's problems, we have seen
him grasp the rounds one at a
time and strain every muscle to
pull himself to the next, we have
watched him as he travelled from
the humble cottage in the plney
woods to the state house in jack
son, and in no one instance can
it be said that he ever betrayed
a trust, or turned his back and
uplifted face spurned the means
of his ascension"
In every walk of life he has
proven himself worthy of the
honor and respect of his fellow
man, and he deserves the office
he is seeking at the hands of the
voters of his native state. The
office is an important one and
the judicious management of its
affairs means much to the tax
payers of the state.
That he is the man for the
place has been clearly proven by
the efficient manner in which he
has conducted the affairs of the
Office during his incumbency. He
is a man of the people and fol-
the people and has their interest
at heart.
He is a democrat to the core
and stands on his merits alone
and not or the dement's Of 9TH
ers.-Brldwyn Home Journal,

strong Letter From Mr.. Deason.
Editor of the Tupelo Journal:

AdltOl VI SAAS NHSA
There is a great deal said about
the Senatorial candidates. There
are some voters who are mad;
they think Vardaman was not
treated right in the caucus at
jackson, and they say they will
vote for Mr., Vardaman if they
knew he had stolen a horse. If
those good people would think
for a moment, they would not
think of such a thing as voting
for such a man to represent
them in the highest legislative
Office in the Union. Just think
that if you had a horse thief in
the senate how would the good
people feel about it? All OF this
madness was brought about by
Bilbo and Vardaman. Bilbo by
taking the bride and Vardaman
by bowling. The only way that
Bilbo explains the case is, some
one had to act as detective to
get on to the dirty work that
was going on in the caucus. My
answer is that if a man goes into
a crap-shooting game for the
purpose of turning the others
up, he is meaner than the other
parties. Or if a man goes and
buys a pint of whiskey from a
person that is illegally selling it.
for the purpose of turning him
up he is meaner than the other
fellow, unless those fellows are
officers. A traitor is a curse to
his country, no matter in what
capacity he works. We are sur
prised to know that some good
citizens are unfolding Bilbo and
are going to vote for him.
Now to Mr.. Vardaman. He is
going round giving the secret
caucus down the country, but he
stayed with it until he was de-
feated, and never made a howl
until all was lost to him. Then
there was a great number of Sc
cret caucus dogs. This was the
case four years ago when John
Sharp Williams beat him. He
had to have an official count
before he was satisfied. Varda-
man has done more to stir ami
mostly between the white race
and the negroes than any public
man has ever done. He has done
more to create prejudice between
capital and labor than any can
didate for United States senate
since it became a state. He has
stirred up prejudice between the
towns and country.
Now, we all know the negro
is a dead issue as far as rolitlcs
is concerned. The constitution
of 1890 settled that question for
Mississippi. There is no use of
bringing up something that does
not exist.
We hear it often spoken that
Vardaman is the champion Of
the poor man. II this is SO, in
what way? When he was a rep
resentative from his county how
did he vote on the income tax?
Was it in favor of the poor man?
The House Journal shows that
he voted against the poor man.
When it come to exempt banks
from paying taxes which way
did the champion of the poor
vote? He voted to exempt the
banks from taxation. But still
he is a champion Of the poor
man. There is some good citi
zens that never gave the consti
tuition of the country a single
thought and when they hear
Vardaman tell them the consti-
ton ought to be changed and
send him to Washington and he
will have the 18th amendment
knocked out and the 18th modi-
fled, those people believe he can
do it. Would this not be a great
calamity on such men as L. G. c.

secure his presence, and if he will meet
me / will make this charge to his face
before any audience in Mississippi, and
before that audience | will convict him
of moral guilt.
sFriends, it matters little to Missis-
sippi if it were q mere matter OF per-
sonal choice whether Vardaman, Alex
ander or Percy should be named as sem
ator, but it Is a matter OF vital and par
amount Importance to the people OF
Mississippi, to the welfare of this state
that a campaign based upon abuse OF
those high in church and state, upon
contempt of court, %juries, legislatures
and all the constituted authorities OF
the government, upon appeal to preJu-
dice and passion, arraying class against
class, nei9sr,or against n%eighbor, sowing
the seeds of hatred and distrust, upon
. teaching hat necessarily finds its
fruition in deeds Of violence and blood
shed, a campaign which destroys respect
for the law, the very foundation for our
poyernm mt and our civilization should
not succeed, and it is for this reason
that / summon the decent, clean man
hood Of Mississippi to rally around me-
and to put the seal Of their everlasting
condemnation upon such a campaign. Be
side the gravity of this issue his personal
honesty or dishonesty pales into insig-
~nificance."

To Develop the Bust

To the Beauty Editor: Can you tell me Of
any armies way to increase the bust2 l do
not want any more flesh on the hips or other
parts of my body. but | am so hat-chested /
would try anything you thought would give me
even two or three inches more development.
ETHEL w.
The only thing I know of that Will develop
the bust without increasing the size of the
hips. or without putting on flesh where not
needed. 10 a prescription put up by the DR..
Kelly Co., especially for small and undeveloped
breasts. It Is the discovery y a woman physi-
clan whose practise was largely among her own
sex and In most cases increases the bust meas
uro four to six inches In a month. Send 10c to
the DR.. Kelly Co., Dept. 400, B.. A., Buffalo, N.
r.. and they will send you a trial package OF
the treatment without charge. This is said TO
be Of great value In cases Of arrested develop
nent OF the bust and will give a full, beautiful
form without anyone knowing that this treat
meat was used.
Many mothers have told me that after the
baby had = been weensd the breasts became
nabby and shrunken, but the use Of DR.. Keily's
made them full and Arm. Do not
Asc pads or bust forms, as they never looK
natural and have a bad effect upon the general
health. Neither would l recommend ordinary
flesh builders or tonics. as they increase tho
hips and limbs and with the present styles the
form should hs slender everywhere except q
