THE new clubhouse of the Mari
eta Golf Club will be opened form
ally Tuesday.
This brief bit of news is very
pleasant thing to write, for several
reasons For one thing, the old
Home Town has done itself proud.
1t has a golf club, and it is a first
class golf club. 1t has a clubhouse
that any man would take pleasure
in exhibiting to his out-oftown
friends 1t has grounds comprising
rs acres, on which is being con-
structed a nine-hole course laid out
by Stewart Maiden and Willie Mann
of Atlanta. The course is being
made by George Smith, of the Capt.
tai City Country Club.
And you can readily see, know
ing these golf men as everybody
does, that the Marietta Golf Club
is getting the best there is to be
had The site is uneXcelled even
to the view from the clubhouse We
randa-looking out upon old Ken
nesaw Mountain, over rolling hills
we'll turfed in Bermuda already.
And the regular course is to be
5000 yards long, and special
course, for beginners and women
members, will be constructed, about
half that long, on the vast lawn
in front of the clubhouse.
Everybody Gets Credit.
Pretty fine, that. And it is a
pleasant thing to write about, es-
pecially for me. Because | feel in
way responsible for the begin
ming of this enterprise, although
goodness knows Mr.. Mcneil and
Mr.. Cortelyou and the rest of them
did all the work and supplied the
money and the ambition and every
thing needful to make a first-class
golf club in first-class town.
MY part of it was no more than
hitting a golf ball about a large
COW pasture on Whitlock Avenue,
some three years ago.
That, to be sure, is a simple
thing. To the uninitiated it may
even appear supplemented. But
first one and then another tried hit
ting the elusive gutta percha pellet,
and were well and duly bitten by
the golf bug, or bacillus, which
sneaks up and fastens on your left
ankle the first time you hit one on
the nose and step back and watch it
ride.

Beautiful Location.
"And now see what we have -
property costing $4,000; and a real
ly beautiful clubhouse that cost S.
900 and is worth about twice that
by reason of the foundation being al
ready there; and a prospect before
summer is done of 2 golf courses, a
lake, lighthouses, tennis courts and
everything else a real country club
requires. And all within a mile
of the Marietta square, on a site
that is second to none in the State

bers; you'll see something.
mot emitting the social equip
ment, you might say-that little
clubhouse has as fine a da ncing
floor as can be made; and this men
ton brings us to the formal open
ing Tuesday afternoon and night.
THE reception to the public was
held from to 6 o'clock in the at
ternoon, with music, refreshments,
and so on. This is the occasion for
all the Mariettans to get acquainted
with a project that is destined, |
solemnly believe, to do more for
their town than anything else ever
started there. You know how golf
is taking hold of this country? Well,
when town the size of Marietta,
with climate absolutely ideal has
also first-class golf course, de-
/ signed by one of Americas fore
most masters of the game, a golf
course that can be played on all
winter, as we'll as summer, why,
what is to prevent a huge proper
ton of the touring golfers, en- route
to Florida via the railroads that
pass through Marietta-what will
prevent them from stopping off at
Marietta and playing on real turf
and grass green's instead of sand?
Nothing will prevent it, once
! they find it out.
Dance In Evening.
We'll, the public reception was
held in the afternoon and at night
the club members had a dance, with
Wurms Orchestra to furnish the
music, and all the usual frills; and
this is to be the start of regular
dancing parties and all the events
usually featured at country clubs.
Marietta society now has some
where to gO-and that's a little
point that need not be stressed.

BISHOP NELSON.

Bisndp Cleland Kinloch Nelson
died at his home in Atlanta on the
night of February 18th. He had
been sick but few days with tonsi-
litis. Appoplexy was the immediate
cause of his death.
Bishop Nelson was first made BIZ
snop twenty-five years ago when
the whole State of Georgia was but
people of every creed, and recogniz-
ed as one of the greatest forces for
righteousness. He was always ready
to work shoulder to shoulder with
the man who had the cause of hui
mainly at heart. There was never
a man of stronger principle, nor
one more loyal to principle. But
he fully endorsed by his life the
spirit of having charity in all
things"
The burial service was held in
the Cathedral which he loved. Ev-
cry seat was taken and all the
standing room. Five of his neigh
boring bishops conducted the SER
vice. without regard to church
connections, hundreds of people
came to show their respect and ad-
miration and love.
Bishop Nelson was born in Vir-
ginia. He was a rector of a Parish
in Pennsylvania at the time of his
election to the Diocese of Geor-
gia.
The congregation of st. James
Church held a meeting after service
on Sunday and a committee was ap-
pointed to suitably express to Mrs.
Nelson their sense of loss and their
affection for the Bishop, and their
sympathy for her in her sorrow.
This committee to act with the rec
tor was as follows: Mr.. r. de T.
Lawrence, Sr. Warden; Mr.. II. S.
Willingham Supt. of S. S., Mrs.
{. M. Crosby, Pres. of Woman's Aux
Hilary.
