WESLEY BARACA NOTES.

Next Sunday, Col r. E. Brumby
Of Louisiana, a Sunday School work.
er of National reputation, will talk
to the Glass. He is an old Marietta
boy, and we want to give him good
crowd. On other occasions when
Mr.. Brumby has been present with
us in the class, the attendance was
good, and now when he comes es-
pecially to talk to us, we want tC
make a good showing.
The class is just beginning a new
half-year period, and is going tC
make an especial effort to break
some of it's preceding records. In
the matter of attendance, the idea is
for each regular attending member
to bring along-by main force, if
necessary, y,-sOme other member WnC
is not so regular, or some one of his
friends who does not yet belong to
the Baracas. In this work, as well
as in any other enterprise, after in
difference is overcome and interest
is aroused, those same visitors will
become regular attendants.
And it is precisely for this pur-
pose, the purpose of entertaining
and instructing, that the Quartette
has been formed, and the lessons are
being presented in such an interest
ing manner.
During the past week, the Glass
sent a box of one hundred and TWEEN
ty five hose to the Orphans Home
at Decatur, Ga.

MARIETTA DEFEATS DECATUR.

The football team of the Marietta
High School opened the season of
1915 by defeating the Decatur High
School team in Decatur last Friday,
by the score of to S.
The weather was not suited for
football playing, but the boys were
in good enough condition to with
stand the intense heat without any
serious consequences.
The playing was clean and sports
manlike on the part of both teams.
The game was entirely free from all
unnecessary roughness and only a
feeling of keen rivalry existed be-
tween the players.
Neither side scored until the 4tn
quarter, when a series of line bucks
by Lawrence and Bolan Brumby, fol-
lowing a recovery by Turner of a
fumbled punt gave Marietta touch
down. Ward kicked goal after the
touchdown, bringing the score to Z
to in favor of Marietta.
Decatur had been unable to make
any consistent gains either by bucks
or end runs and was completely out
classed, so far as straight football
was concerned. With only 80
seconds of play left, Decatur worked
a forward pass successfully and
secured a touchdown. They failed
to kick goal, leaving the score Z to
6 in favor of Marietta.
On offense, Lawrence Brumby, at
quarterback, and Bolan Brumby, at
half back played good ball, while
the punting of Hugh Ward was con-
siderably better than that of his op-
ponent.
On defense the work of Whorton
at tackle, McCleskey at end, March
man at guard, and Morris at half
back, was pre-eminent, while the re-
covery of fumbled punt by Thomas
Turner in the third quarter paved
the way for the touchdown in the
last period.
Marietta's next game will be
against G. NJ A. in College Park,
next Friday. The first home game
will be played against Gainesville
on Friday October 8th.
Marietta's lineup at the begin
ming of the game was as follows:
Center, Willingham; R. Guard,
Griggs; L. Guard, Marchman; R.
Tackle, Whorton; L. Tackle, Malone;
R. End, Blair; L. End, McCleskey !;

ORPHANS WORK DAY.

Orphans Home Day in the First
Methodist Sunday School was a sue
cess. The cash offering Sunday
morning was $4,000. To this may
be added the additional regular
pledges of the Baraca, Philathea and
DR.. Harris classes and it shows q to-
tai of about $4,000 for this worthy
cause.
The class of girls taught by Miss
Lottie Murray sold tags on Satur-
day and raised $4,000. All the
classes made special contributions,
but this class with their fine report
were about the happiest girls in
town, and they want to again thank
all who bought tags.
One of the trustees of the Decatur
Orphans Home says that of all the
Sunday Schools of the North Georgia
Conference the school at Marietta
stands first, being the most generous
and dependable supporter of the or
phans.
