INTEREST PAYMENT
ON LIBERTY BONDS

Numerous Inquiries have been made
by purchasers of the first. or 3h-per-
cent, Liberty Bonds as to how interest
for the first six months was to be
paid, in case the purchaser elected to
wait and accept 4-per-cent bonds of
the second issue. Some people had
even figured it out that they would be
compelled to lose this interest in or
der to secure bonds bearing the higher
rate. The local banks were not in
formed regarding this phase of the
situation, and on request of The Sill

looking considerably better as work
progresses north.
The tonnage for the month so far

A bullion shipment will be made

$4,000.
Rochester Combined Mines Company
The Happy Jack shaft is now down
240 feet. The building OF an ore
pocket and station on the 200-foot
level has been completed and drifting
north and south is in progress. The
main drift on the 200-foot level is in
225 feet. A second crosscut at the
20O-foot point has been completed,
demonstrating that the vein is four
teen feet wide.
The Kroner winze is down 130 feet
where we have also completed the in
stallation of large equipment to en-
able us to handle the ore and push
development work more economically.
The working tunnel winze is down
100 feet and a crosscut into the vein
shows the vein to be twenty feet wide
at this point.
Foundations for the heavy machin-
cry. such as the ball-and-tube mills,
have been completed and the machin-
cry is being placed thereon. The new
150-horsepower compressor has been
installed and is working well.

MISS VESTS BENEFIT
FOR THE RED CROSS

Miss Vests pupils in expression
gave their first recital Saturday ev-
ening at the auditorium and made
about $25 for the Red Cross. A num-
ber of people came up from Atlanta.
Winnings, and Smyrna and the audi
ence was well entertained. Misses
Judson Gulley and Judith Rice who
were "Star performers" are both
from Smyrna.
Mrs. John Warren played Hiawa-
tha on the guitar very softly while
Miss Judson Gulley recited Hiawa-
tha's Farewell and the combination
was very effective. Miss Sarah BIZ
shop recited "What He Wanted To
Be-" Miss Judith Rice Buying a
Railroad Ticket. Edward Brumby
recited "The Raggedy Man" and Do
rothy Milan "The Solitary Reaper"
The little play, "No Men Wanted"
was very amusing with Charlotte
Northcutt as the colored maid, who
acted her part to perfection, and
Miss Vest as one young lady in pink
satin and Mr.. Frank McNeel as the
other with black wig and lady's
hat and coat suit. He did very well
indeed in his role but Charlotte was
the life of the play.
Miss Lucy Cole, dressed as Span
ish girl danced to victrola music with
a tambourine and also played two
duets on the guitar with Mrs. John
Warren. The High School Orchestra
played several selections of very
lively music with one member beat
ing a staccato accompaniment with
sticks or slaves certainly not with
the straws used by the backwoodsy
fiddlers.

MARIETTA'S NEW HIGH
SCHOOL PROFESSOR

The new professor recently Sc
cured by Mr.. Dumas is native of
Pennsylvania but was educated in
Europe and has one degree from an
Italian University. He goes over to
Camp Gordon twice a week to teach
the soldiers to speak French. He
has travelled extensively in many
countries even far into Africa where
the natives are most primeval and
the climate deadly to white people
He is an accomplished scientist and
was dean of a college in Michigan
for eleven years. He also contributes
to very high class scientific maga-
zines. Recently he accepted an of
fer from the state university to lee
ture in its summer school next year.
Marietta appreciates Mr.. Kinna-
mon very highly but cannot hope to
keep him here when he is so well fit
ted for work in colleges. Mrs. Kin
namon's health requires a mild eli
mate and this is why they have come
south. So the professor was caught
on the wing so to speak.

ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS.

The Conservation of Bishop Mikell
took place in st. Phillips Cathedral
Atlanta, last Thursday morning. The
building was packed with people.
Twelve or more bishops took part IN
the laying-on of hands. Of course
only three were necessary. Bishop
Gailor represented the Presiding BIZ
shop, who was too feeble to attend.
And no wonder, for Bishop Tuttle
has been bishop for fifty-two years.
A dozen bishops, more or less, now
have charge of the territory that was
once under his care.
Bishop Guerry, of South Carolina,
preached the sermon and delivered
the charge to the new bishop. AS
the service of conservation drew to
close, one could not help feeling
deeply for the bishop that was to be.
Nearer and nearer drew the great
burden of responsibility that was to
rest upon him; and then it seemed
to be all there. 1t was to be his for
life. And no doubt it made every
minister present, and the laymen,
feel that they had a great response
bility also to help him bear the bur-
den of the work in the diocese.
Bishop Mikell is our bishop now, and
we hope that he will be soon known
by all of US.
The Woman's Auxiliary held its
first meeting in the Church House
Monday.
The War Children Stocking
which hung on the bulletin board
Sunday has been sent in with $1.30.
Sunday afternoon Union Chapel
gave $1.25 towards getting coal for
the negro school at St. Barnabas. No
other has been received yet. 1t may
be handed to the Rector or to the
Senior Warden.
The Brotherhood met with Mr..
Reynolds Monday evening. 1t was
a good meeting. A probationary
member was welcomed.
The Rector expects to attend the
Synod of Sewanee in Charleston next
week as one of the delegates from
this diocese.
The following attended the Con-
secration from this parish; Mr.. N.
X. Smith, Mrs. Hague, Miss Ella
White, Mrs. Stokes, Mrs. Freyer, and
Mrs. Claiborne. And several attend
ed the Reception in the evening. The
hall was filled with people, and it
was a delightful entertainment.

EXCELLENT WORK OF NEW
GEORGIA MARKET BUREAU

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 5.-In single
instance of its activity, affecting one
county alone, the Georgia Safe Bu-
reau of Markets has succeeded in saw
ing to the people almost as much as
the cost of the operation of the bu-
reau for an entire year.
When 500 was given as the best
price that could be paid for cotton
seed in Rome and vicinity, a
few days ago, the president of
the chamber of commerce Il
that city, feeling that his section
was being Disseminated against,
took the matter up with Director l..
B. jackson of the State Bureau of
Markets, who succeeded in placing
the Rome seed sellers in touch with
buyers who took all there was to be
had from that territory at price of
$3.50 per ton f. o. b. shipping
point, as against only $50 offered
there.
If the conservative estimate of
only 1000 tons be made, this in
wolves a saving to the producers of
$12,50O, as the direct result of the
market bureaus efforts. This lis a
saving to one community of only
$4,000 less than the entire appro-
priation for the maintenance of the
market bureau for twelve months,
and is a good illustration of its pos
sibilities in serving the producers of
Georgia.
