PROPERTY OVNERS
ON ATLANTA STREET
FOR PAVING
Petition Filed With The CITY
Council For The Street
And Sidewalks.

A formal petition for the paving
of Atlanta street has been presented
to the city council under the new
paving bill just passed in the legis-
lature. The petition is signed by a
majority of the owners of property
on this important thoroughfare but
a final hearing for any objections
will be held on September 18th.
This shows that the people want
the city paved and that they are
willing to pay the expense. Both
the streets and the sidewalks will be
paved. The street will be paved with
vitrified brick on a concrete base Just
as the public square is now being
paved and the sidewalks will be of
concrete. This will give handsome
uniform appearance and will be a
great credit to the city.
Legal notice of this petition and
the ordinance ordering the work done
is given in this issue of the Marietta
Journal.

PRIZE BABY VICTIM
Of MAD-DOG BITE
DIED TUESDAY
Little Howard McNair Jr.,
Was First Prize Baby
At New Orleans.

A thrill of horror passed over Ma
rietta Tuesday when it was announc-
ed that little Howard McNair had
developed hydrophobia for which
he had been given the Pasteur treat
ment. He was bitten about five
weeks ago by rabid dog on his wrist
and the poison entered his veins so
rapidly the serum failed to counter
act its effect.
The little boy would have been
four years old in October and was
one of the handsomest children i'm
aginable. He was first prize baby
in the New Orleans baby show.
He was on visit to his grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. II. C. Dobbs,
with his mother. He passed away
Tuesday night about II o'clock very
quietly as his physicians had admin
istered a sedative to relieve pain.
His father, Mr.. Howard McNair,
arrived from New Orleans at noon
Wednesday.
The funeral was conducted at four
o'clock Thursday afternoon by DR..
j. H. Patton, assisted by DIR. !. A.
White, at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. C. Dobbs on Whitlock Aven-
ue. Mrs. S. H. Hall played occom-
paniments for the two hymns, "Safe
in the Arms of Jesus" and "God Will
Take Care Of You" sung very sweetly
by Mrs. J. S. Collins, Miss Sarah
Patton, Mr. Thomas Hemp and Mr..
o., N. Worley.
The pall-bearers were Messrs.
Make Dobbs, billiard Spalding, Ward
Wight and j. S. Stewart, Jr.
The floral tributes were extremely
beautiful and numerous.
Among those attending the funer-
al from out of town were Mrs. S. H.
Smith, of Virginia, Mrs j. S. Stew
art, of Athens, Mr.. and Mrs Ward
Wight, and Mr.. and Mrs. billiard
Spalding, of Atlanta.
Mrs. McNair is utterly Frustrated
over this terrible loss and both the
young parents are objects of tender
compassion from every one and of
sympathy from all who have had a
similar heart-crushing blow.

FARAM NOTES

Messrs. c. L. Summerour, Martin
Griggs, w. p. Addison, Emmitt and
Forest Burton, DR.. and Mrs. d. E..
Sawyer were members of the party
that represented Cobb County at
Athens on the 18th and 10th. The
trip was made in automobiles via
Atlanta, Stone Mountain, Grayson
and Monroe. They report finding
abe roads fair and crops good.
The agricultural college buildings
and farms were an agreeable sur
prise, being much better than ex-
pected The crops and experimental
plats were in nice shape and they
found good herd of dairy and beef
cattle.
The party was nicely treated, par
ticularly by DR.. Burson, who gave a
very interesting talk on serum manu-
facture and its use to prevent hog
cholera. He also showed the party
over the veterinary buildings which
are well equipped, The college is
now giving a complete veterinary
course.
DR.. Sawyer says that he wants to
start the boys -four club" work this
fall with an acre of wheat followed
by peas, and an acre each of cotton
and corn. He advises the boys to
keep their records for unless they
do they cannot compete at the club
fair this fall. He advises planting
of wheat in the best land this fall
so as to save the fertilizer for cotton
and corn. Remember one of the
main things to do is to lime the wheat
land and pack it well and have a
fine seed bed. Don't forget to SOW
alfalfa this fall, as you will need it.

lege, dairy specialist has been here

NEW SCHOOL BOOK
LAW IN EFFECT HERE.

Under the new school book law the
Marietta Board of Education has
appointed Hodges Drug Company
and w. A. Sans Drug Company
as their agents to sell all school books
and supplies. The new law requires
the board of education to either sell
the books or appoint an authorized
agent. These agents will be allowed
to sell the books only at prices fixed
by the law and this will save large
sum to the parents of school children.
The prices fixed allow only small
profit and as consequence the deal
ers here will sell books and supplies
only for cash.
The lists are expected to be ready
in few days.

NEGRO HELP FOR
CAMP GARDENS

Anticipating prohibitive prices on
all green vegetables in cities where
divisional encampments are to be To-
Gated, General Wood has recommend
ed that each divisional camp set aside
tract of 100 acres for the intensive
cultivation of vegetables needed for
the division and assign to ESPECIALLY
qualified" enlisted men the task Of
cultivation.
General Wood stated that in every
place where large bodies of soldiers
would be quartered it would be al
most impossible for the citizens to
procure green vegetables. As things
are now the Government will take
all the vegetables, he said, and not
care much what kind of a price is
paid, so long as they get what they
wish. The result will be, in his opin-
ion, that the growers Of truck will
chargA a prohibitive price to any
one except the Government.
One hundred and twenty acres in
telligently cultivated, he said, would
not only afford a remarkable relief
to the people living in communities
near the divisional encampmen1s, but
would result in the saving Of millions
