AN INTERESTING VIOLIN.

Daniel Brothers, Jewellers, had an
exhibition in one of their windows
last week, violin belonging to Prof.
O. Fl. Langford that is said to be a
genuine "old Strad" Violin makers in
Atlanta have examined it and declare
it has every evidence of being the
product of the famous Antonins Strad-
ivarius of Cremona.
Prot. Langford's father bought this
violin about fifty years ago from an
Italian musician before ingenious
makers began to fake old violins.
Mr.. Orrie Daniel has looked into
this violin with his watch-maker's
magnifying glasses and has seen the
Italian signature and date. So it must
be about two hundred years old.
Prof. Langford is taking lessons on
his violin and prizes it beyond ex-
preston.

DEATH OF MRS. p. H. GREEN.

Mrs. Ella McGriff- Green, wife of Mr..
P. H. Green, died suddenly at her
home near Marietta on the morning
of July 4th. Her life as a Christian
was unsurpassed, a loving wife and
devoted mother. Those who knew her
longest loved her best. She leaves
her husband and eight children, an
aged mother, Mrs. McGrif, two broth
ers and two sisters, to mourn her
death.
Her remains were taken to Holly
wood cemetery for funeral services
and Interment, Rev. Mr. Babb, of At
lanta, officiating. Many friends from
Atlanta and Marietta attended the
services, showing the high esteem in
which Mrs. Green was held, and her
last resting-place was covered with
fragrant flowers that seemed to
breathe love and remembrance and
hope for the Resurrection Day.

POSTAL BANK RECEIPTS
SCI ON THE FIRST DAY
CERTIFICATES ISSUED INSTEAD
OF ORDINARY PASS BOOKS.
First National Designated as DEPOSIT
tory and the Funds are Placed
-. There by the Postmaster.

The Savings Bank department Of
the Marietta Postoffice was opened
Saturday and before the close of
banking hours three accounts were
on the books, with deposits in the
aggregate amounting to S51.
The Postoffice Department in
Washington had designated the First
National Bank as the Depository to
receive the funds of the Postal Bank
and the money was promptly placed
there, with the funds subsequently
received. So ended the first day of
this important governmental exper-
iment in Marietta.
Mrs. Simmonds, who has charge
of the Postal Bank, has, in addition
to the deposits, sold some savings
cards and savings stamps.
Deposits are evidenced by postal
savings certificates issued in fixed de-
nominations of 81, 81, S., $40, $40, $50
and 500, each bearing the name of the
depositor, number of his account, date
of issue, name of the depository office,
and date on which interest begins No
account may be opened for less than
81, nor will fractions of a dollar be
accepted for deposit No person is al
lowed to deposit more than 500 in
any one calendar month, nor to have
total balance to his credit of more
than $500, exclusive of accumulated
interest
Amounts of less than 81 may be
saved by the purchase of 10-cent pos
tai savings cards and adhesive 10-cent
postal savings stamps which may be
affixed to the card until 81 is reached
when they will be redeemed for a saw
ings certificate for 81.
Deposits made in the name of a mar
ried woman can not be withdrawn by
her husband or in any way controlled
by him. The money received on de-
post will be placed with banks that
will be required to put up with the
government proper security. How
ever, should one of these banks fail
the United States Government would
pay the postal savings depositors in
full.
