HOUSE STANDS ON
ATKINSON FARM
Interesting Letter from Mr..
McAdoo in which He Says
May be Here-Coming
to Atlanta With the
Presidents Party.

1t is probable that within the next
ten days Marietta will have the pleas
ure of entertaining a man who was
born in house still standing on the
Powder Springs road, and who, today,
is one of the worlds most illustrious
tigures-William G. McAdoO, who con-
ceived and built the Hudson River
Tunnels, one of the greatest engineer
ing feats in history.
1t is a pelasing and inspiring
thought that the little boy whose life
began five miles from the city has so
stamped his personality upon the
times that his name is linked to the
immortals, and that, too, in associa-
ton with an achievement of such vast
benefit to his fellow-men.
Modest and unassuming, he begs the
newspapers to call it the Hudson
Tunnel" but now and on down
through the ages they will call it the
McAdoo Tunnel"
HUDSON sailed up the river; Fulton

bluff of the Jersey side pointed across
the mile of blue water to the heart of

the Alps, he said, There shall be no

TRIBUTES To CLAY
IN MEMORIAL BOOK
Congressman Lee Will Try
to Obtain Copies for
Cobb Citizens.

The beautiful tributes to Senator
Clay, delivered in the United States
Senate on Saturday the 18th, and in
the House OF Representative on Sun
day, will be printed in a memorial
volume and Congressman Gordon Lee
will make every effort to obtain a copy
Tor each citizen of Cobb county.
Nothing that he could do would be
more appreciated by the friends Of
Senator Clay. The memorial volumes
issued from the government printing
office in Washington are models Of
the printing art and the book will
contain steel engraving of Senator
Clay. Every speech delivered will be
printed in full, together with the other
proceedings Of the two houses.
The tributes to Senator Clay were
remarkable for their beauty and
evident sincerity. One Of the best is
that by Senator Bailey of Texas, which
is eloquent in its simplicity and deep
feeling.
The volumes which Congressman
Lee will obtain for the friends OF
Senator Clay will be most highly
priced and carefully preserved.
The movement for the erection of
the Clay monument is progressing
steadily. The Committee of Two
Hundred will meet at the Court House
Tuesday at noon for organization.

George Deadly, a farm hand living in

and he tainted dead away from fright,
says Putnam correspondent of the
Hartford Coufant. Deadly picked up
what he thought was the tip of horse
whip in the grass beside the road,
only to find that the horse whip was
alive. 1t proved to be black snake.
1t wound around Deady's arm and
poked its head in Deady's face and
grinned at him.
Deady let out yell that could be
heard all over Wilsonvilie and ran to
Henry Pearl and implored him to pull
til. snake off his arm. Pearl refused
to NEEDLE, saying he was no snake
charmer, whereupon Deadly tainted in
the road. Pearl says the snake then
uncoiled, and wiggled off into the bush
es. 1t was about five feet long.

FORCING FOWLS FOR MARKET
Good Judgment and Proper Manage
ment Essential in Fattenino
Poultry-keep Pens Dark.

To fatten poultry quickly and prof
itably requires good judgment and
proper management in the care of
the fowls and proper feeding. The
best foods are bits of fat meat,
mashes of meal or fine grits made
from yellow corn, with skim milk;
boiled potatoes, rice and oatmeal and
milk. If anything, oatmeal is prefer
able because of it's greater heating
qualities and its effect on color or fat.
The main point to keep in view is to
fatten your fowls in, the shortest
time possible. To do this they should
be in a coop or pen, where they can
not take much exercise. for by exer-
else they work off flesh and keep
them to small, light coops made OF
lath or wire netting. These may sit
out in the back yard or barnyard, on
well-drained ground. In case of rain
or damp weather cover them with
oilcloth. Keep the pen dark during
the daytime, except when the fowls
are eating, by throwing thick COW
ering over the coops. such as old
carpets, blankets or quilts. This will
prevent the fowls from stirring about
between meals. In the morning give
them boiled potatoes, mashed while
hot and thickened with corn meal
with little salt and pepper for sea
soning.
They should be fed three times a
day. and their bill of fare varied as
much as possible, but with a large
proportion of starchy heat and fat
producing articles. Very little green
stuff should be given them, though
pumpkin or squash may take the
place of boiled potatoes occasionally
Fresh bedding should be supplied
frequently, and the coop and spot II
occupies should be kept cleaE The
coop should rest on cinders, or or
gravelly or sandy soil, with bedding
of hay or straw The coop being
light, it will be easy to move it tc
new place occasionally by a mar
getting at each end and lifting it ar
inch or so off the ground, gently push
ing the chickens along inside the
coop as it is moved. having prepared
the bed of hay on the new place
beforehand
| Unless a hen is very valuabl,
breeding fowl it does not pay to keel
her after she is two years old They
should be marketed just before theil
second moulting.

Makino Use of the Rhine.

The German Rhine is commercially
the most important stream In the
world. 1t furnishes most illuminat-
ing contrast to the decadent Mississip p
pi.
The United States has expended
more money in the twenty years ended
in 1907 on the most important stretch
of the Mississippi. FOG miles between
St. Louis and Cairo, than the German
central government has expended in
the improvement of the Rhine from
Strassburg to the frontier of Holland
a distance of 355 miles.
Yet the amount of tonnage handled
on this portion of the Mississippi in
1908 was 374,O93 tons, while that or
the Rhine in the same year was be
tween 4O,OOO,O0O and 45,000,O00 tons
an amount from eighty to 100 times
