PAVING HAS BEGUN
ON ATLANTA STREET

The work of Transforming MARI
etta's "mud-hole thoroughfare" into
a beautiful boulevard has begun.
The Merrill Road Improvement Com
pany, of Chattanooga, began this
week to paving Atlanta street.
The work was started on the east
side of the street at the Methodist
church and will continue out that
side until the city limits is reached
This will then give paved street on
which the resident of that part of the
city can walk this winter while the
sidewalk is being paved and also pro
vide paved roadway for hauling the
dirt and materials for the other side
of the street. Traffic will not be in
terrupted at all in this way.
The same construction that was
used on the square will be used. Vet
rifed brick on a concrete base. This
will give Atlanta street beautiful
appearance and will be joy forever
to the autoists who pass through our
city over this street.
The work will be pushed just as
fast as good construction will per-
nit.

STORES ROBBED BY
ESCAPED NEGRO
CONVICT

Admits Breaking Into
Several Stores.

The mystery is solved. The bur
glar has been caught. And this is
not the first time for the thief had
escaped from the chain gang where
he was serving a sentence for burgla-
ry. He is Abner Johnson, a negro,
and he is back in the chain gang
now.
Thursday afternoon officers Tom
Sanders and P. M. Grower went
down to Atlanta where they had re-
ceived tip the guilty man could be
found. They entered barber shop
on Decatur street and there he was.
He had watch that had been stolen
from a store in Smyrna and confess
ed to having robbed the stores of An
derson Brothers, T. w. Read and j.
w. Brown. Some of the goods and
a ham were recovered by the Off
GERS.
Tom Littlejohn, another negro, was
also arrested and another negro in

This is good work for our police
and we hope that there are no other
members of the gang still at large.

MAYOR BRUMBY TOBE
CANDIDATE FOR
REELECTION
Announcement In This Issue
Puts Voters on Notice
He Is Running.

Mayor Jim r. Brumby announces
in this issue of the Journal for re-
election. So far no one has an
nounced to oppose him and we have
not heard of any opposition.
Mr.. Brumby's announcement does
not make mention of accomplishments
of his administration or make any
promises for the future. 1t is a
plain statement that he is candidate
for reelection.
During his administration the pub
lie square has been paved with
substantial material and the law has
been changed so that majority of
the property owners on any street
can have their street paved.
This is an accomplishment that the
people of Marietta looked forward to
for a long time, and it will remain
for years as monument to this adj
ministration.
So far the only announcements
for council that we know of are Mr..
George T. Northcutt in the Fourth
Ward; Mr.. Virgil McCleskey in the
Fifth Ward and Mr.. E. l.. Robertson
in the Sixth No one has announced
in opposition to these gentlemen.
They are all excellent citizens and
will do their duty conscientiously.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN


A prominent citizen of our town
slept late on Sunday morning. as us
ual. After breakfast, about 10
o'clock, he decided to call his friend
Jones. Mr.. Jones failing to answer,
he called Mr. Smith. After waiting
some time and no answer, he impa-
tiently hung up the receiver, grabbed
his hat and started down town.
He first went to the p o. for his
mail, none in the box no one there
to talk to, walking down to the Drug
Store, he was surprised to find the
doors closed Court House next, ev-
erything quiet. He walked out a
cross the square, no one in sight;
Puzzled and non-plussed he turned
his footsteps slowly down Powder
Springs st. toward the little cannon
on the hill. Finally met lone police
man when the following dialogue en-
sued:
"Say, Cap, is everybody in this
town dead? I haven't seen a person
this morning"
"No! You are the only dead man
in town. The others have gone to
Sunday School"
Wake up, man!
