DRINKS "0N HOUSE" ARE
FORBIDDEN IN BOSTON

BOSTON, Sept. 20.-There will be
no more drinks on the house" in Bos-
ton saloons. This is the order of the
licensing board, which became effec-
tive recently.
1T Is wrong in principle, against
the best interests of the proprietors
and may be morally and physically
injurious to the customers" the board
says in it's notice. Bartenders say
that competition has made II neCes-
sary to give away one drink in three,
and the dealers expect to save money
proportionately by the order.

NEGRO IN JAIL FOR
HIS WILD WEST ACT

The first Tuesday nearly always
brings the horse traders to town, but
not in long time has there been
one who tried to pull a wild west
stunt like the one Sam Speedy, COL
ored, tried to get away with Tues
day. However, he didn't get away
with it. Chief Goodson's eye was on
him. Nuf sed.
Sam came to town from Atlanta
Get me? l said came to town from
Atlanta) with bunch of horse trad
ers, and started on wild ride
around the square with a long whip
and cowboy stunt that would make
Jack Richardson, of American film
fame, look cheap. He was cracking
his whip here and there and fright
ening folks without regard to law
and order, but before he knew it
Chief Goodson caught the horse by
the bride and Sam by the belt, and
the negro is now repenting in the
calaboose.
If Sam can WELD pick and shovel
like he could that whip, we need him
anyway.

MARIETTA REVIVAL IS
DRAWING BIG CROWDS
Good Preaching And Excellent
Singing At Presbyterian
Church Daily

The revival services that began at
the Presbyterian Church last Sun
day are attracting large crowds ev-
cry day and night, and already the
services are being extended. The
ladies are holding prayer meetings
daily after the church service and
the men are meeting down town in
the Office of Col Owens Johnson, on
Atlanta street, for the same purpose.
The men who have not the time to
go to the church are requested to go
to Colonel Johnson's Office at 4
o'clock in the afternoon for this
prayer service.
While the services are being held
in the Presbyterian church, they are
being held for Marietta and the sur
rounding country, and everybody is
invitedand welcomed.
Rev. Wright and Prof. Good are
both excellent singers, and there is
as much religion in their singing as
there is in the preaching.
There is plenty of room and plenty
of seats, SO don't stay at home be-
cause you are afraid of not being able
to get seat.

LIVELY TRADING IN
REAL ESTATE LATELY
Mr.. r. E. Butler Has Sold
Several Pieces of Good
Property.

Mr.. r. e. Butler, who has come to
be known as 1.-The land trader, has
been selling some property lately He
says he wants to get people from
other places to buy in Marietta and
Cobb county, and in the past few
days he has sold places to two such
parties and one is confident he will
be able to get his brother 80 locate
here
Mr.. j. S. LoveIace, formerly of
Troup county, has purchased 81
acres on the Roswell road and will
move there about the first of the
year. He is much pleased with Cobb
county and the cheap land here that
is worth more than it sells for, and
says he is goin to try to get his
brother to locate here.
Mr.. R. S. Cheney, of Liberty, S.
c., has purchased the beautiful new
bungalow which Mr.. Butler recently
built on Atlanta road at Fair Oaks,
and his mother-in-law has moved
here to live with him.
Mr.. Butler has sold the Easterlin
place, which he recently purchased,
at the foot of Kennesaw Mountain,
to Mr.. John S. Wilson, of Cobb coun-
ty. Mr.. Wilson will move there
this fall and make considerable i'm
provement in the place,
Mr.. T. H. LEROY, the new county
tax collector, has bought a nice five
room house and lot from Mr. Butler.
He has already moved into his new
home, which is on Clay street
When one real estate man can sell
another real estate man a piece of
property it shows that his prices are
right. Mr.. Butler advertised a farm
on the Bells Ferry road a few days
ago, and as soon as the paper was
out Mr. William Tate Holland bought
the property. 1t consisted of thirty
acres.
Mr.. Butler has also traded a piece
of property in Smyrna, known as the
Lyle place, for farm in south Geor-
gia The Smyrna property was for
merly the property of the man with
whom Mr. Butler traded-Mr. j. W.
Lyle-and Mr.. Lyle will move back
to his old home.
They all come back to Marietta
and Cobb county. After they go
away they learn how to appreciate a
good thing.

POLICE AND SHERIFF WORK
TOGETHER WITH GOOD RESULT

There has been a bit of activity in
police circles during the past week,
and the result is a compliment to
the entire force of officers of the law
from sheriff to police chief on down
the line
Lat week, while Gentry Brothers
Dog and Pony Show was in Mari
eta, a very fine dog was stolen. This
is very common occurrence, but it
is rare thing that one is recovered.
The dog was valued at $3.50, and
was recovered by Chief Goodson with
the assistance of Constable w.
A. Bishop. The manager of the
pony show was very profuse in his
thanks for the return of the dog and
was sorry that he could not pay a
liberal reward for it's return. He
said it was the first place that the
show had ever been where a lost
dog had been found and the first
place he had ever seen where the city
anu COuniy OuCldlS worked IOReInef
as they did in Marietta and Cobb
county.
There has also been some serious
scrapping among the negro popula-
ton. Lille Howard stabbed Ada
Rogers on Mills street one night last
week and was captured Monday by
Chief Goodson and Deputy Sheriff
George Hicks.
Hattie Hicks stabbed her husband,
Will Hicks, at the home of Lula
Holmes, on Johnson street, and was
arrested Tuesday by Constable w. A..
Bishop and City Policeman Grower
Alex Miller knocked Emmett Fow-
Ter in the head with a bottle of booze
and was captured by Deputy Sheriff
Hicks and Policeman Grower.
1t is certainly a good thing to see
the city and county officers working
together so we'll for the preservation
Of order, and it will have it's effect
on the lawless classes.

GIN AND z BALES
OF COTTON BURNED
Gin of Shaw Brothers At
Sandy Plains Destroyed
Wednesday a. m.

Great excitement was created near
Sandy Plains Wednesday morning
about l O'Clock, when the gin house
of Shaw Brothers Wis burned to the
ground. About twenty-five bales of
cotton were stored in the building,
and is practically lost.
Not one cent of insurance was car
red on the gin, gin house or any of
the cotton, and the loss is about
$4,000.
All but two bales of the cotton
was the property of customers of the
gin, and it is possible that a few
bales may be recovered, though it is
probably too much damaged by
smoke and fire to be of any value.
Messrs. Oscar and J. E. Shaw,
brothers of the county treasurer, Mr..
Monte Shaw, were the owners of the
gin. They had bought the gin and
leased the ground and a residence
near by, so their business is practi-
cally wiped out without insurance.
There was no way to fight the fire,
and the neighbors could only stand
and watch the flames lick up their
property.

CONVICTS WORKING
ROAD AT THE RIVER

If the weather holds out good for
few weeks. Cobb county will be
able to boast of one of the longest
and best stretches of good road in
North Georgia. The convicts have
begun work at the Chattahoochee
river in the south end of the county
and will work back toward Smyrna
on the Atlanta road.
The road has been completed down
beyond Smyrna, and from Marietta
a continuation of it has been COM
pleted to the Barlow county line
This will be road about thirty-two
miles long, and there will be only
one hill on it worth mentioning. in
this part of the country-that will
be from the river up to Collins
Switch, where a bridge will be built
over the railroad tracks.
A bridge was built on the new
road to Kennesaw and Acworth lust
beyond Kennesaw Mountain, and
these two bridges will eliminate two
very dangerous grade crossings. If
they had been completed sooner, Mr..
Latimer might have been alive to-
day. Good roads and bridges are
worth all they cost.

LIEUTENANT FRANK CLAY
MEETS COBB COUNTY MEN
IN FAR-0FF PHILIPPINES

Lieutenant Frank Clay writes
from the Philippines that he is now
at Camp McGrath, doing regular gar
rison work. His mother has re-
ceived from him an exceedingly in
teresting letter in which he says that
at the time it was written all Manila
was doing honor to the retiring Re-
publican governor.
Among other things, Lieutenant
Clay says:
Il have met two Cobb county exiles
out here in the last few months. One
was a man named Henry, who is a
private in the coast artillery. He
lost out in the cotton market at
home, but recovered some money, is
making more now on cotton opera
tions by cable. The other man was
P. B. Florence, of Powder Springs.
He is running a prosperous dry

I'm pretty busy these days.
am running the post exchange, in ad-
dition to my company duties. The
exchange does about a 10000 pesos
($5,OO0) business per month, and
I'm getting some business experience
in handling books and buying and
disposing of stock. The exchange is
like "a corner grocery store, in that
it handles pretty nearly everything.
You spoke, or rather wrote, in your
last letter about my making a trip to
Japan or China. I'm saving that un-
til the last, when l hope to return
through the Suez by way of Europe.
My tour will be up on September Is.

LOSS PLACED AS $4,000

Three horses were burned to death
and one automobile, five wagons. two
carriages and some harness DESTROYED in
fire which started in the stables of
the Wilmington Gas Company at the
foot OF Madison street, about G3O
O'Clock last evening The building was
burned to the ground, and the bright
glare caused by the flames attracted
thousands of people to the scene. The
total loss will exceed $4,000.
The origin OF the fire is a mystery,
as William Il. Walsen. the night watch
man at the gas company's plant was
unable TO say what starteu the fire. lie
was making his rounds when he dis.
covered il and at that time a tongue
on lame was playing about the north
west corner Of the stable building Mr.
Walsen hastened into the Office to give
the alarm and by the time he emerged
again the fire had spread with such rap

In the stable Of Comfy Brothers. across
a narrow alley from the gas company's
stable, were twenty-eight horses, and
in the stable OF the American Laundry
Company, which adjoins the Comfy
stables was one horse. These were
saved.
While the fire was raging at its worst
sparks and flaming embers were carried
across the street and fell upon the Conly
land American Laundry stables. The
twenty-eight horses in Conly's stables
were taken out by Albert Gordy, Thorn

as drivers by the owners. They had
some trouble with some Of the animals.
When they went after the horse in the
Laundry COmpany's stable it became
frightened by the bright light and caus-
ed some trouble before it was led to a
place Of safety The two stables did
not catch fire as. the firemen kept them
washed down with streams of water.
An alarm was sent in from Box "a
and several companies responded. Five
or six streams of water were played on
the burning building but it was too far
gone to save. The efforts of the fire.
men, however, saved the other stables.
William J. Condor, who had charge OF
the Fame Fire Company, made an effort
TO rescue the three horses in the Gas
Company stable lie found them on the
ground kicking and managed TO get hold
of the bride of one of them. The smoke
became so dense however. that Condor
was compelled to drop the bride and
leave to escape being overcome.
During the FIRE one man was injured.
George High, a member Of the Washing
ton Fire Company, was struck on the
head with an axe welded by q fellow
member. He was holding a nozzle when
another fireman with an axe was try
