The Story the Advertising
Tells to the Merchant

Every advertisement in The Star has its
story for you, Mr. Merchant. Do you read
the stories each days advertising in The Star
tells? Can you the moral contained in
each days advertising in The Star? No? Then
let us explain. The Star carries the adverts-
ing of nearly all of Seattle's successful and
up-to-date stores. The Star carries more and
advertising each succeeding month.
Isn't it fact that there must be something
valuable in Star advertising if many mer-
chants use it? Isn't it a fact that, if these mer-
chants did not get returns from their adver-
tisng in The Star, they would not continue to
advertise year after year? And isn't it fact
that, if you carrying up-to-date stock of
merchandise and offer it to the people at
prices which compare with your competitors,
that you also find something valuable in
advertising in The Star? Have you ever given
this a thought? Isn't it worth the time it will
take to talk it with one of represent Q
atives? Phone and we will have call.

UDGE Fl. L, PATTERSON MAY
COME TO LIVE IN MARIETTA

Judge Henry L. Patterson has un-
der consideration the matter of re-
moval with Mrs. Patterson to Mari
eta from their home in Cumming.
The Judge has not fully decided, but
il is extremely probable that he will
become citizen of the Gem City.
Editor Rucker, of the Alpharetta
Free Press, says the Judges reason
for considering the change is that he
cannot get servants in Cumming
since the exodus of negroes following
the lynchings in Forsyth county, but
his real reason probably is the fact
that he will be so much more conven-
iently situated for the court business
of the circuit.
1t frequently happens that law
yers wish to see the judge between
sessions of court, and Marietta is
much more accessible than Cumming
Judge Patterson is determined to give
the people the very best possible SER
vice. as their presiding Judge, and he
will be glad to do all that ne can to
meet their convenience. With that
view his removal to Marietta would
not seem improbable. His own con-
venience would be 8 secondary mat

MAJOR HIRAM A. BUTLER DIES
AFTER LONG AND USEFUL LIFE

The death of Major Hiram A. But
Ter, which occurred at DR.. Nolan's
Sanitarium last Friday, removes from
the circle Of his hosts of friends one
of the Oldest and best citizens of
Cobb county. He was 81 years of
age and had been in the service of
the Western and Atlantic railroad for
nearly sixty years. He started life
as water boy ON MONDAY Fill,
near Marietta and rose to the position
of roadmaster, which he filled nearly
half a century.
Some of the older residents of Ma
rietta remember seeing Major But
Ter. then sturdy country boy, carry
ing water for the men who made the
famous fill, and watched his career
as he rose to the position of section
boss, then conductor of the construc-
ton train, and finally to the place of
roadmaster, charged with the respon-
sibility of keeping in perfect condi-
ton the roadbed over which the fast
flying trains made their way. He
was recognized as man of the finest
integrity and had the confidence and
friendship of Governor Joseph u.
Brown, the president, and all the of

MISS CORA CORYELL
IS TAKEN BY DEATH

Miss Cora Coryell died last Satur-
day night at the home of her brother,
Mr.. Howard Coryell, on Roswell
street, in her seventy-fifth year
Her health had been failing since
last January, but she was in bed only
few days when she entered into
rest. She had been living in Mari
eta nearly fifty years, and after the
death of her parents made her home
wherever her relatives most NEEDED
her For the past eight years she
had been a mother to the four chill
dren of Mr. Howard Coryell and had
been so devoted to her duties at home
that she was known to very few. At
her funeral the rector paid tribute
to her fine Christian character and
her long life Of loving service for
others. She was member of St.
James Church, where her funeral
was conducted, and the interment
was in the Episcopal cemetery be-
side her parents. The pallbearers
were r. de T. Lawrence, J. III. Muir
ray, Lawrence Hunt, j. 2. Foster, DR..

If the Judge decides to move to
Marietta warm welcome will await
him here. He has made fine i'm
preston, not only on the people of
the Blue Ridge Circuit but through
out the State. Both as man and as
an official he would be a valued ad-
dition to our citizenry. He is hold
ing court this week at Blue Ridge.
Following is what Editor Rucker
says about the matter.
''It may be that Hon. Henry L.
Patterson, Judge of the superior court
of the Blue Ridge Circuit, will re-
move with his family to Marietta
some time soon. He has the matter
under ADJUSTMENT, and it is probable
that he will decide within a few
days to vacate his home at Cum
ming and become a citizen of the
Cobb county capital.
Judge Patterson, so it is said, is
to leave Cumming because it is i'm
possible to secure house servants
since the negroes have all been run
out of the county. Last year the
anti-negro crusaders banished the
