handing the public's right eye,
The bankers are yeIping like lot
of stuck pigs,
The Trust Press about fits in the
same pen with the stuck pigs,
And a lot of Big Business bosses
are carrying long face around with

On the other hand, the Greater Chi

the city councils action in favoring

The points that stick out are plain

The bankers represent the bankers.
The Trust Press represents the

The Big Business bosses represent

The Greater Chicago Federation

The Woman's Party of Cook coun-

The other organizations round

interests.
It's the old game-the Big Bust
ness ends fighting the public.
Unless the City Council body gets
a severe case of weak backbone it
will tell the Big Business interests
and the Trust Press to do what Italy
has just done.
The only difference between what
that will mean and the actual act of

looking up what Sherman said war
was.

PREACHER DROWNED N
BIG CREEK SATURDAY

Clutching the trunk of a tree, Rev.
thurman T. Williams battled against
the icy current of flooded Big creek
last night for two hours, while
spectators, summoned by his cries
for help, stood on the bank unable
to render aid. Finally his grasp
lOOsened and he was swept down
stream, not to be seen again until
his body was recovered this morn
ing.
Mr.. Williams left Cumming Sat-
urday afternoon to fill the pulpit at
Alpharetta Sunday In crossing Big
creek, his buggy went down and he
was thrown into the cold stream,
which was very high from Fridays
rains
After struggling with the current
for time he finally caught hold IF
the body of small tree, and in
water 10 feet deep, his head just
above the waves, he swung there for
two hours.
News of his terrible plight reach
ed Cumming late, but a score or
more people rushed TO the scene, 10
miles distant in automobiles, but
when they arrived Mr. Williams ha.,,
from cold and sheer exhaustion, been
forced to loose lis hold on the tree
and go down TO his death.
Searching parties worked ell night
but it was O'Clock this morning be-
fore his body was recovered.
Mir. Williams was q very popular
young minister, with a bright fu-
ture. He leaves a wife and enc child,
together with number Of relatiy as.
Burial was at Cumming Ga.

GEORGIA CHAMBER Of
COMMERCE LUNCHEON

Marietta will be the center of at
traction for Georgia on December 80.
for on that day the announcement of
plans for the work of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce in 1916 will
be made here.
The officers of this organization
that has done so much to advertise
Georgia during the past three years
will have a luncheon in Marietta
December goth. A large number Of
representative farmers and business
men will be invited to this luncheon
to help outline the plans for the
new work.
1t is a great compliment to Mari
eta to be chosen for this occasion 20
sound the key note of the new plans
fer the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce.
No itimation of what the plans
will be has been given out but the
people of Marietta should feel flat
tered that our city should be chosen
as the proper place to hold such a
meeting. If we continue to attract
attention we might get the swelled
head but it seems more likely that
we are just beginning to be taken
notice of as the Queen City.
