HOW MANY VETERANS
CAN YOU ENTERTAIN
Committee Wants Few More
Homes and Little More
Money.

The committee in charge Of the
Confederate Reunion to be held on
August 28th, and 29th, report that at
least $4,000 more must be raised
TO meet the actual estimated expenses,
and that more homes must be procur-
ed. These old men who fought brave
ly for four years in defense of our
homes, who suffered untold hardships,
should be made comfortable when
they become the guests of Marietta
and Cobb county. A simple statement
calling attention to the fact that more
funds and homes are needed should
be sufficient. You, together with ev-
eryone else, want some part in this
undertaking. The committee cannot
possibly see everyone, so send your
subscription or number of veterans
you can take to one of the under
signed at once, and put them in a
position to furnish plenty of food and
a bed for every man who wore the
Gray Don't delay The time is
short. and the arrangements must be
made at once.
Respectfully.

POLITICAL POT WILL
COOL NEXT WEDNESDAY
A Heavy Vote is Expected
Throughout The Blue Ridge
Circuit.

Next Wednesday the state election
for Governor, Judges, Solicitor Gen
erals, state house officers, and legisla-
tors will be held. The race in Cobb
county and the Blue Ridge circuit has
been hotiy contested and just who will
be the winner seems to depend mostly
on the point of view of the man doing
the talking. The Journal has tried to
keep clear of fractional lines and wants
to see big vote and a fair count of
the ballots cast by voters who have
weighed the merits of each candidate
and reached his own conclusions in the
matter as he has right to do.
The deepest interest of the Blue
Ridge circuit is conferred in the race for
Judge of the Superior court between
Judge N. A. Morris of Marietta and
Col. H. L. Patterson of Cumming, Ca,
and the contest for Solicitor General
between Hon. E. H. Clay of Marietta
and Hon. j. P. Brooke of Alpharetta.
The lines of these two contests are
very closely drawn with both sides
claiming victory.
The governors race is apparently all
one way and Cobb county is expected
to go almost solid for Hon. Jack Sla-
ton.

MEMORIAL TO CLAY
UNVEILED MONDAY
Thousands Of His Friends
Stand Two Hours to Hear
Eulogies.

That which he strove hardest to
be and which he loved most to be
called-"a friend" was the word
most tenderly and reverently used
by the speakers that paid tribute in
word pictures to the memory Of
their distinguished fellow citizen on
Monday afternoon when the hand
some bronze statue Of the late
United States Senator, A. S. Clay,
was unveiled in the city park here.
But the words of those with abil-
ity to paint beautiful pictures in de
scrlptve English by no means ex-
ceeded the lasting tribute that was
dedicated to posterity to commem-
crate for all time the life of one
who so we'll deserved the honor
bestowed upon him. The memorial
that stands in the city park, erected
by the spontaneous spirit of love of
his fellow citizens and friends IS
one of which all our Southland
should be proud. More expensive
monuments may be found in large
numbers, monuments that cost many
times that unveiled on Monday at
ternoon as twilight gathered, but
