MARIETTA GOLF CLUB IS
MAKING RAPID PROGRESS

The Marietta Golf Club is max
ing rapid progress both with re%
gard to membership and in the
work on its grounds. The new golf
course is being put in shape faster
than was thought possible and the
tennis courts are How graded and
ready to be finished off. Ehe work
on the dap for the lake began this
week and 1t is believed that the
grounds will be completed by the
middle of the summer.
About a dozen applications for
membership have been received in
the last few days and Others are ex,
pressing themselves in nigh terms
regarding the club. Those who are
not now members and are not ac-
quainted with the club property
should go out with some friend that
is a member and see what a really
fascinating thing you nave right
here at home. A good many peo-
pie are talking of saving the ex-
pense of a vacation trip this sum
mer by taking advantage of the
Golf Club.
Link up with it. Get in tne swim.
Court the tennis balls and raise a
racquet, and then maybe you'll
dance with glee when you get in
the club house and see that SHINY
floor and hear that big Grafonola
play some lively stuff.

POINTS OF VIEW.

You often have occasion to mar
vel over the potency of postage
stamps as well as to wonder why
searchers for addresses do not think
as well as look.
Last Sundays mail contained for
me a picture postal from Agra, In
dia, which had been mailed there
on1Jan. the End.
1t had been addressed simply to
Marietta, Georgia, and the first
afficial had written an interroga-
ton point after Georgia and under
it the word "retane" with a pen
ell.
Then the card had wandered "a
bout from Delhi to Bombay and had
six different post marks quite lille
gible including two with the mi
tials ID. l.. O. made with a square
stamp. Finally some one mad writ
ten in red ink Georgia, u. S.
America" on the card, and then it
came straight on although it had
been immersed in a liquid and part
of the stamp torn off.
The India stamp is red like ours
and is inscribed in English. But
the picture of the Tai Mahal, the
finest mausoleum in the world, was
quite distinct and so was the mes
sage from the dear Marietta girl
who mad gone out to see this SPLEEN
did tomb of a heather kings be-
loved wife, and to watch the new
year come in while the wonderful
moonlight frightened the scene. You
can easily read a description and a
history of this wonderful tomb and
remember that St. Elmo Murray, OF
thrilling memory, had a miniature
tai in his souvenirs of travel whica
figured in his courtship of Edna
Earl.
Few Americans go to India and
no doubt Miss Sallie Camp will al
ways be the only woman in Mari
eta who has sojourned in that
strange country.
WHAT a joy it will be when she
gets home and can tell us all about
. the wonderful places and historic
cities she has visited
1t is a tribste to the goodness and
fidelity TO trust of mankind this
coming Of a post card from across
oceans and continents directed by
a tiny red stamp.

Judge VIM. Searcy
To Hold Court Here

Judge VIM. E. H. Searcy, of the
Griffin Circuit will preside over
the sessions of the adjourned term
of Cobb Superior Court here next
week in place of Judge Morris who
is disqualified in several cases that
must be tried. The law requires
Judge Morris to give all litigants in
cases in which he is disqualified
an opportunity to try their, cases, or
he is subject to impeachment. He
explained to the Journal that he
was forced to call a term of court
at this time because he would hold
court in Canton the first Monday
in May, and in Alpharetta the Sec
ond Monday. The regular term of
court in Gilmer and Fannin coun-
ties comes on the third and fourth
Mondays so this is the only time
he will have to hold this court when
he could get another Judge. No
case except those absolutely neces-
,sary will be tried so as not to keep
farmers who are jurors or witnesses
away from their work, he said

she was girl. She loved her
church and was ever ready for any
service she could render. She was
faithful member of the missionary
society and the Philathea class 1t
was her custom to read a part of
Gods word every day. A very at
tractive feature of her home was
the playing and singing of hymns
every evening for ner husband
pleasure

and little son, whose first two
weeks of life brought much happi-
ness to her. Also by ner mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Frey; three sisters,

DON FISHER SHOOTS EN- UP
AT BOISE.

Sergeant Don Fisher of Company e
In a letter to his friend Frank Titus
OF the A. Il F., tells of big gun club
tournament which was pulled off at
the state capital on April % In which
he took first place over the club men
and a professional or two In a re-
markably good score. The score as
published by the Daily Statesman
shows that Sergeant Fisher shot In
five events OF fifteen birds each in
which he scorde 14-13-f4-15-14, lacking
only five points Of perfect score, and
beating the professional shootist, three
points. Don says he did not get the
trophy offered for the high score, for
the reason, as explained to him, that
he was an outsider. An outsider
never stands any show Of getting any
thing anytime or anywhere In Boise,
the motto Is IF he is a stranger, take
him in"-and do for him.
