CANAL WILL CONNECT /.
WAYCR0SS AND OCEAN

wAYCRoSS. Ga, Dec. 5.-Govern-
ment engineers in charge of the Satilla
river survey in connection with the
Observation-Disclosures barge canal pro-
ject. are making rapid progress. The
report of the engineers will be very
elaborate and win deal with the source
OF water supply for canal. the business
within a reasonable distance of the riv-
er. and the estimated cost of cutting
through the many turns proposed TO
be eliminated for a canal
While this work is going on, another
investigation is under way. this deal
ing with the feasibility of diverting some
water supply north and northeast OF
waycross into the Satilla by a canal
cut across from one river to another.
A creek in Coffee county has been
found that for some distance Is avail
able for such a canal. If possible this
plan will be urged along with the Satil-
la barge canal. as heretofore the only
government opposition came because no
generous water supply seemed avail
able for the proposed canal

company are planning the early estab-
lishment In New Orleans and Houston of
one Of the most powerful trust companies
in the world whose principal object will
be to lend money to farmers to assist in
developing lands in Louisiana, Texas

embraces a capitalization of at least

times that sum.
The proposed trust company, will, 1t is
said, loan money to farmers, on real es-

The Southern Corn Show was in full
harvest array, Wednesday morning, when
the second day of its display had adj
vanced as far as the commencement
of the mornings program of speeches.
Every bit of space on each of the nu-
merous big tables was occupied with Its
pyramid of corn telling eloquently OF the
work that some club boy had done Men
who saw the first corn show in 1896 at the
exposition in Atlanta, when two tables
sufficed to hold the scant exhibit, mar
veled at the wonderful Increase in inter-
est and results that the last two or three
years have brought.
The auditorium was pretty well crowd
ed, too, when II. @. Hastings, executive
chairman of the show, announced the
opening of the speakers program at lO:40
o'clock. All of the seats were taken, and
a couple Of hundred farmers and country
boys, and women from the farm ano
women and men from the CITY, STOOD

l-acre contests. He announced that pre-
nni,Ims have been offered by the state
da,a rtr,ent of agriculture for the organi-
zation OF boys pig clubs next year and
that plans have already been made Tor
that new department of work. He read
the names of 81 boys (even then increas-
ed TO S. with late reports still coming
in) who raised over 100 bushels of corn
TO the acre this year. He called them TO
the stage and organized them into an
honorary body forming the nucleus about
which the Georgia Boys Corn club, of
statewide membership, will be organized
next year.
Gen. ] Gid Morris, of Belmont farm,
told of the modern methods of work that
he is applying on his farm in Cobb

sustaining.

we'll as quantity, be recognized, and that
the boys compete on basis of chemical
analysis, as well as number of bushels.
He declared that the life-giving property
of corn, protein, which builds the tissues,
varies with the type of corn, humidity,
corn can be grown under ideal condi-
lions for the highest percentage of pro-
tein in the north Georgia counties. He
cited one analysis of White county corn,
showing 1173 protein, which is higher
than any shown by the United States
government reports from any part of
the country.
DR.. Soule, the last speaker, came next.

He attributed much of the credit for the

Mr.. Christian in Charge
of Journal Job Printing.

An arrangement has been made
with Mr.. Elan Christian to take
charge of the Job printing Depart
ment Of the Journal and COURIER
and he now has the management of
that department.
Mr.. Christian is well known to
the business men Of Marietta, not
only as a newspaper man, but as
one of the most skilled job printers
in the State. His care and good
taste are prover5ial and by reason
of his long experience he is enabled
to make the closest possible figures
in estimating cost. His familiarity
with the prices OF job stock is of
great assistance in that respect, so
that when he names the figure at
which he can turn out a Job no
guess-work enters into the charge
and the customer is assured of good
work at a live and let live price.
Mr.. Christian will have at his
command one of the best job plants
in any weekly office in the State.
He has at his service all the Job
type and other material of the Ma
rietta Journal and that of the Ma
riettA Courier-two complete outfits
including three job presses and
the big press on which the paper is
printed. His facilities, therefore,
will be ample.
We thank the fliends of the Jour
nal and Courier for their liberal
patronage of our Job Printing De-
partment and solicit continuance.
Mr.. H. r. Oldson, who has so
ably and faithfully filled the posi-
ton of foreman of the Journal and
Courier and manager of advertising,
will continue in that position and
will have more time than heretofore
for meeting the business men and
looking after their requirements in
the advertising line. The splendid
typographical appearance of the
paper is due to his skill and tireless
industry.

grade, has numbers of pretty colored
pictures on her walls, jonquils on her
desk and a room full of happy chill
dren, who recited and sang on themes
of the day. In Miss Gerdine's room
very bright boy, only nine years old,
recited the Song OF the Chattahoo-
chez" and another something by Mr..
Frank Stanton. In Miss Laura Ford's
third grade room Cherokee roses and
jonquils were drawn on the black
boards and flags and the states court

Miss Laura Ford included selections
from Longfellow because his birthday

and ]. d. Malone THE Village Black
smith" In Miss Fishers room the
grade recited Lanier's "Song Of the
Chattahoochee" and sang the "Red
Old Hills Of Georgia" In most of
the grades the legend Of the Cherokee
rose was recited and in the third it
was read by little Lucy Cole.
In Miss McDaniels fifth grade room
there were decorations of red, white
and blue bunting and the work on the
blackboards was signed by Elizabeth
Anderson, Lucille Morris, Dorothy But
Ter, Fred Morris and Edward Hatcher
The sixth grade, to which the news
paper reporters, ministers and promi-
nent d. A. RS had been especially in
vited, by Miss Towers, the teacher,
was deliberately decorated with pic
lures, maps, groups of flags and a per-
feet state court of arms in gold on a
blackboard. The drawings were sign
ed Clara Hips. Space will not allow
even a mention of the interesting ex-
ercises in this grade. Moses Jacob
played several violin selections and
Rev Elan Christian made a felici-
tous speech that cheered teacher and
pupils alike.
In Miss Georgia Hunts seventh
grade room the finest work of a pupil
on the blackboards was a big Georgia
flag signed James Coryell. A frieze
of Cherokee roses drawn by the pu-
pills was on the blackboards.
