ANOTHER FINE ENDORSEMENT
FOR FARM DEMONSTRATORS

Cobb county has had demonstra-
ton agent since April, who is also a
first-class veterinarian, This work,
so necessary to US all, is not part
of the County Agents work, but has
been done by DR.. Sawyer freely graf
is. While this is true, it naturally and
necessarily costs him considerable
money, as it gives rise to many trips
over the county much night and Sun
day work and other expenses inci-
dent to a veterinarians duties.
For all work in the county the U.
S. Government pays 100000 and the
county authorities 100000. The
agent bears his own expenses, furn-
ishes his own car, gasoline, etc. One
who is familiar with these matters
knows that this is not a reasonable
salary unless the expense account
was paid by the county.
The saving Of six mules or hcrse5
to Cobb county people would be more
than sufficient to justify the county
for the amount paid, if the county
would pay DR.. Sawyer 100000 per
annum the national government
would pay an equal amount, and this
would enable him to go on with the
work and feel that he was getting
something like living salary.
His veterinary work, if charged at
the usual rates would cost those for
whom he has done the work, Cobb
county citizens, something like $780,
90 per month, and this has been
done in addition to the work as dem
onstration agent.
Now, Pm writing to ask that you
see the board of County Commits
sioners before December 4th, and
urge upon them the necessity of pay
ing DIR. Sawyer 100000 for 1913
that he may go forward with the
work satisfactorily to himself and
the county. Cobb county can't af-
ford to loose him now.
Respectfully,
JAS. IT. ANDERSON.

MAYOR jim DRUMBY
REFLECTED ON
TUESDAY
Much Comment on Election
With Only One Ticket
In The Field.

So far as candidates for Mayor of
Marietta were concerned on Tuesday
nobody was in it with Mayor Brumby
who was seeking reelection. And
his seeking was not in vain, for jim
came under the wire with clear
track ahead and clear track behind.
He was anonymously" elected be-
cause his opponents never showed
their heads, and he got all the votes
cast
The candidates for council who
are in accord with Mayor Brumby
were elected in every ward, no oppo-
sition being developed.
The new councilmen are:
j. j. Black, First Ward
T. l.. Wallace, Second Ward.
j. j. Daniel Third Ward.
Geo. T. Northcutt, Fourth Ward.
Virgil McCleskey, Fifth Ward.
E. l.. Robertson, Sixth Ward.
These are all fine business men
and Marietta can trust them to guide
her destinies through the next two
years.
Mayor Brumby feels that the fact
that there was not any opposition to
his candidacy, or to any of his coun-
cilmen, shows that the people are in
favor of the progressive policy Of his
administration.

ST. JAMES BAZAAR WAS VERY
ATTRACTIVE ON THURSDAY

The show windows were filled with
hand painted china by Mrs. r. j.
Hancock and hanging baskets of
ferns. On the right of the entrance
was the Japanese booth in charge of
Mrs. Lex Irwin wearing red satin
imported kimona, Mrs. Joseph Mes
senger in a blue crepe and Miss Eliz-
abeth Hague in pink crepe both en-
broidered in white birds. Opposite
this was the fancy work booth in
charge of Mrs. G. P, Reynolds and
the Misses Howell. 1t was hung with
all kinds of fancy bags for knitters,
for shoes, for fancy work and utility
wall pockets for the inside of closet
doors. Also exquisitely embroidered
underwear, robes de mutt, handker-
chiefs, mats and dozens of various
accessories for clothing,
The basket booth presided over by
Mrs. Nolan and Mrs. Hoppe was a
big realistic basket of white lattice
lined with green and a green and
white handle with a white crepe bow
on it. 1t was full of imported bas-
kets of various kinds.
The candy booth under a big white
umbrella was presided over by Mrs.
Jack Brumby and did rushing bus
mess. Mrs. Freyer and Mrs. Nor
gan McNeel assisted in disposing of
the candy.
Mrs. Bolan Brumby had the Ital-
ian booth with its dainty articles of
"bigotry and virtue" as Mrs. Mala-
prop would say and as Colonel john
son did say in "Mrs. Boffin's bower"
for which he was "shooed" away.
The luncheon was de luxe indeed
prepared by such thorough culinary
artists as Mrs. Claiborne, Mrs. Cam
bios, Mrs. Stokes and many assistants
The pretty mattresses included Mrs.
Will Eph Roberts, Mrs. John Dorsey,
Misses jeanette Black, Irene Malone,
Laura Margaret Hoppe, Marie Ship
pen, Mary Schilling, Eloise Carnes,
Annie Gilbert, Hattie Black and a
number of others.
Mrs. w. H. Wyatt Jr., was charm
ing in a typical peasant dress of blue
with lacey apron with blue and gold
and a strand Of big pink beads that
just suited her brunette beauty. Mr..
N. x. Smith was a tactful and very
effective speiler for the booths. Mrs.
Freyer loaned her magnificent Jap
anese lantern of wrought iron and a
ground glass painted in flowers, to
the booth and there were other i'm
ported lanterns beside the paper ones.
There was an orchestra Of ladies
from Atlanta playing bewitching airs
the weather was delightful and ev-
erybody was in gay humor

JUDGE APPEALS FOR
PATR| |0TISM IN
HIS CHARGE
Coming of Troops to Cobb
For Artillery Practice
Brings Remarks.

The regular fall term of Cobb Su-
nerior Court convened on Monday
with Judge Morris presiding. Civil
business is being handled this week
and criminal cases will be taken up
later. When court convened there
were only three prisoners in Jail.
Sheriff Swanson said that crime is
fast diminishing under the new bone
dry law.
Judge Morris delivered strong
charge to the Grand Jury and in ad-
dition to the usual routine matters
which the law requires him to charge
unon. he found occasion to mention
natriotism in connection with the
coming to Cobb County of the large
body of troops for artillery training.
In this respect he said in part:
81 am afraid our country is not
only in a very serious, but long
drawn out war. One that has alread-
V cost several billions of dollars, and
will cost many billions more, and also
the lives and Disagreement of mil
lions of our best young men before
it is finally concluded.
But regardless of the cost in mon
ey, in blood or in lives, it is the duty
of every American citizen, rich or
poor, old or young, white or black,
male or female, to rally around the
American flag and stand Loyalty back
of our government until this war is
over
"The time has passed to discuss
whether we should or should not get
into the war, our soldiers are on the
firing line and more are marching
to the front-WE MUST ALL
STAND BY THEM TO THE FIN
ISH.
Everyone can and must make
some sacrifice. Some can fight
and other can provide. All at home
should economize and should deny
themselves something to provide for
our brave soldiers at the front, and
those that are preparing themselves
to 60 to the front.
"An American cIuzen that will not
support his country in the crisis that
confronts it today is not entitled to
the protection of the American flag
or the American government.
"In my humble opinion the happi-
ness, liberty and freedom of your
children and my children, of the pre-
sent and future generations of Amer
lea, England and France, depend sole
ly upon the ability of the allies to
crush and forever end that cruel,
brutal and heartless military spirit
that at present dominates Germany"
This part of the charge was receiv-
ed with rapt attention and intense
interest.
Judge Morris was called away on
important business Wednesday and
left Judge A. L. Bartlett, of Pauld-
ing county, on the bench. Judge
bartlett has held court here before
and his pleasant and able manner
nave Won the approval of the local
bar.

Large Crowd Was present
And Committees Are
Out After Funds.

A most interesting meeting was
held at the Court House last Sunday
afternoon in interest of the work of
the Y. M. c. A.
A large audience was present, near
ly every seat being taken, section
being reserved for the soldiers of
Camp Gordon and the Boy Scouts of
Marietta, the soldiers of the present
and the soldiers of the future.
After a few remarks by Mr.. J. H..
Groves, chairman of the local Y. M.
C. A. Work, DR.. Rembert Smith was
asked to take charge of the exercises
for the afternoon.
A very interesting program had
been arranged and was thoroughly
enjoyed by those present.
The principal speaker on the pro-
gram was DR.. B. S. Finn, of Soochow,
China, Secretary of the Y. M. c. A.
work at that point, who is home on
furlough, but finding the needs of
the work so urgent is giving his time
while in the homeland to this great
cause.
He spoke of the relation of the Y.
M. C. A. to the soldier, of their earn
est endeavor to always keep before
the young men of the army the high
est standards of manhood, of right
living, of purity, so that the morale
Of the American army shall be above
reproach.
He spoke of the pressing need of
money by which this work may be
carried on lat home and abroad in
the camps or on the firing line; of
the wonderful uplift of the presence
of the Y. NJ C. A. is to the soldier
of the trenches, how with the cup of
tea or coffee he is refreshed as he
goes into the battle, or stimulated by
their kindly ministrations as he re-
turns, perhaps sorely wounded, one
of the vast army of walking wounded
making his way to the rear, guided
always by the trail of the pure white
posts. He spoke of the many phases
of this work and what it meant to
the man behind the gun, and made
a most earnest appeal to the people
Of Marietta that each one should give
and give literally, even though it
meant sacrifice, and surely we can
do no less when we realize that this
call is not only for the ''other boys"
but for our own who have gone
from this town and county. May
they ever feel that the ''folks back
home" are standing behind them,
ready to help in any way that shall
be for their spiritual, moral, or ply
sical welfare.
Before DR.. Finn spoke, most tell
ing appeal was made by member of
the engineer corp of Camp Gordon, a
Mr.. Stein. His was an appeal from
personal experience with the Y. NJ.
C. A. and what it has meant to him,
it is meaning to thousands of other
young men.
Three committees have been ap-
pointed by Mr.. Groves to solicit sub
scriptions in Marietta, the chairman
of these committees are Mr.. J. R.
Fowler, Mr.. M. L. McNeel, and Mr..
Len Baldwin.
Should these committees fail to
see any one either in town or in. the
county who wishes to contribute to
this great work, they ask that such
contributions be left with Mr.. Groves
at his office in the rear of the First
National Bank.

because a democratic state would tend
20 incline them less toward hero-wor-
ship. We are not going 70 answer this
last.
We live in a period given 70 admirs-
ton of the latest thing, and liking the
extremist for the shock of his strange
ness. Nr. Nadelman Is sometimes an
extremist and at others an srcheol-
ogist of extraordinary power who can,
with little apparent difficulty, render
something Of the spirit of the past and,
to the letter, its superficial aspect. We
are not going 20 particularize. Mr..
Nadelman is still young. He was born
at Warsaw, in 1855. IL may be that he
is a man of talent in the hands OF
fashionable decree. This Is entirely
possible. We could, without irrele-
vance and with carelessness in the use
Of the superlative, call him a or the
Beau Brummel of the sculptor world.
We could say this seriously, even
though il be damning with faint praise.
Art is not technique entirely, not en-
tirely matter of clothes. Mr.. Nadel-
man polishes and polishes and polishes.
We find this tendency in his lines. in
his surfaces, in his forms. About the
surfaces we are told that this was an
evpedient Of the classic sculptOrs by
which through closing up the pores Of
their marbles they kept dirt out OF
them and in addition gained marvellous
patines. The surfaces Of these marbles
resemble those Of porcelains-tim has

Nr. Gibran strains or coiors ms

In giving the description of this plct-

Perhaps they are painter-like. The
