FARMERS UN|ONHELD
BIG MEETING At
LOCUST GROVE
c Commissioners of Agriculture
Attended the Meeting
Last Saturday.

The Farmers Union held a big
rally at Locust Grove below Smyrna
last Saturday.
The invited speakers for the occa-
sion were Hon. ]. ]. Brown, State
Commissioner of Agriculture, Hon.
John P. Cheney, one of Cobb's rep
Tesentatives in the Legislature, and
Rev. G. H. Turner, of Atlanta, all
of whom made interestining address
ses.
Commissioner Brown, in his adj
dress was loud in his praise of Hon.
John P. Cheney for the splendid
work he did in having put through the
legislature the bill creating and es-
tablishing the State Market Bureau
and said that the Market Bu-
reau was already producing great re-
suits for the farmers of the State
and that in after years Mr.. Cheney's
authorship of this bill would mean
much to him.
The speakers were introduced by
Mr.. Mark M. Brown, and an active
part in the meeting was taken by Mr..
S. A. McMichen, the president of the
local union.
At noon the large crowd present
were invited out under the shade of
the oaks where the good ladies serv-
ed one of those good old fashioned
bounteous dinners long to be remem-
bered.
There was contest on hand as to
who could produce the largest water
melon, the first prize being won by
Mr.. FELTON, Brown with one weigh
ing 81 lbs; second prize was won
by Mr.. John w. Boiling, with a
melon of 40 lbs; and third prize car
ried off by Mr.. j. D. Cash with a
46 10. melon.
The meeting was closed with the
cutting of these large, juicy melons,
together with forty or fifty more
which were highly enjoyed by all
present.
The people of the Locust Grove
community are fast gaining a repu-
tation for their great interest in ag-
riculture and living at home and it
is to be hoped that all sections of the
county will follow their good exam
pie.

BIG BARBECUE IS
ENJOYED BY MEN
OF COUNTY
Plenty Of Eats And Good
Speaking Make Day
OF Much Joy.

The Barbecue given in honor of
the drafted men from Cobb County
last Saturday was NEST enjoyable
event, and considering the short time
in which the affair was planned and
carried out, it was almost record.
The only disappointment about it
was that the speakers invited were
not all able to be present and the
crowd was not as large as has been
hoped for.
The plans as given in last weeks
Journal were carried out except that
Judge Spencer Atkinson was the only
speaker invited beside Governor JOS
eph M. Brown that could come. Gov
ernor Brown acted as master Of cere-
monies and made a speech which the
crowd enjoyed. He introduced Judge
Atkinson who made the principal adj
dress.
Judge Atkinson made fine pa
triotic speech and read from the Con-
SbibdJiOll VI JIS OIllLcu OJdIcS ana
quoted court decision rendered dur
ing the war between the states, to
prove that the recently enacted Sc
lective CONSUMPTION law was consti-
tutional. lie gave some good light
on the subject and if there were any
in the crowd that doubted the legali-
ty of the law they must have gone
away convinced.
The barbecue was prepared for a.
bout five hundred people and as not
that many came, there was more than
could be eaten, several whole animals
not being cut up. The food was all
excellent, having been prepared by
an expert from Atlanta, and was
served in liberal portions.
We must have another one when
these men come back from Berlin.

new HOSIERY MILL
ELECTS OFFICERS
THIS WEEK
Expected That Mill Will Be
Running Before First
Of 0 t O b er.

The stockholders of the Kennesaw
Hosiery Company held a meeting on
Wednesday afternoon and elected of
ficers for the first year.
Mr.. B. G. Brumby was made presi-
dent, Mr.. W. A. DuPre, vice-presi-
dent, and Mr.. w. M. Murray, secre-
tary and treasurer. The directors in
clude the officers and Mr.. R. w.
Northcutt, Mr.. R. A. Hill, DR.. j. D.
Malone, of Marietta, and Mr.. A.
Montgomery, of Atlanta. All these
gentlemen are too we'll known in Ma
rletta and over the state to need any
comment on their ability as business
men, and the fact that such eapa-
bic men will direct the affairs of the
new company assures it's success.
Mr.. Brumby reported that he had
purchased all the machinery for the
new mill, that the old plant of the
Marietta Chair Co., was being remod-
eled to accommodate the new ma
chinery, and that the manufacturers
had promised to rush the equipment
to Marietta. Some of it is on the
road now and it is expected that this
mill will be knitting socks for sol
diers" or anybody else that has the
price, before the first of October.

FIRST COBB COUNTY
MEN LEAVE FOR
ARMY CAMP
Nine selectmen And Five
Alternates Went To
Camp Thursday.

The first quota of men to leave
cobb County for the new national
ormv left about eleven o'clock Thurs
dow morning in automobiles for Camp
Gordon, 10 miles north of Atlanta.
Tbov were in charge of the local
exemption board composed of Sher-
+W. E. Swanson, Hon. j. E. Dobbs,
Col Campbell Wallace and DR.. w. H.
Parkinson.
This first quota consisted of nine
men selected, with five alternates.
Alternates were taken in case any of
the selected men should be turned
down by the physicians at the train
ing camp where the examinations
are much more strict than in theIlo-
cal boards.
Marietta business men further dem
Onstrated their desire to do every
thing possible to make these men
happy and comfortable by furnish
ing large touring cars for the trip
and personally driving them. Those
who took their cars were Mr.. Dan
Summerour, Mr.. Ralph Northcutt,
Lieutenant Guy Northcutt, and Mr..
F. G. Marchman.
1t was a jolly party and there was
nothing that looked like war among
them, except 1t. Northcutt, who was
the only man in the party wearing a
uniform. The men elected Mr.. S.
R. Watson, of Powder Springs, from
among their number to take charge
Of them, which was one of the re-
quirements of the regulations under
which they were proceeding.
Those who went were:

DEATH OF MISS CLYDE SMITH

Miss Clyde Smith, daughter of
Mrs. Nellie Smith, died Monday
morning of typhoid fever at her
home on Waddell street.
She was very pretty and attrac-
tive girl only eighteen years old and
very popular. She leaves one sis

Their She had been faithful men,
Der of the Methodist church and
was member of Mrs. ROsser Titles
Sunday School Glass.
DIR. Rembert Smith conducted the
funeral at Bascom in Cherokee Coun-
ty where she was laid to rest beside
her father.
Among the floral offerings were
beautiful designs, from her friends
in the Mcclure Store, from her own
Sunday School class and from the
Baptist Baraca Class.
1t is very sad to see a lovely young
girl close her eyes forever just in
life's sweet dawn but Miss Smiths
loved ones have the consolation of
feeling that she was ready for what
ever changes her Lord might send
and she sank into her last sleep with
only happy memories of dear friends
who loved her.
The pall-bearers were James G.
Looney, Harry Scoggins, Dewey Bar
field, Frank SaRges, Willie Wheeler
and Deal Lindsey
The grey easket was covered with
white and purple flowers in which
rose buds, typifed the fair young
girl whose heart had not opened to
the sorrow and only to the joy of
life.

COLLINS SPRINGS
ANNUAL SINGING

The usual large crowd attended
the annual Sacred Harp Singing last
Sunday at Collins Spring The Joe
James Class of Atlanta singers was
there in full force, and that means
always good singing. Mr.. w. H.
Powers was made chairman and he
knows how to get class to work
and keep at it, so there was no loss
of time and no lag in the song from
nine a. m. to four p. M, except at
the dinner hour.
Messrs. Herring, Boiling, Daniel
and other good citizens around the
good old Primitive church of Collins
Springs, had brought out dinner for
everybody, and all enjoyed the hour
immensely at noon.

w. H. Power, M. w. Murdoch, j. A.
Marchbanks, Geo. B. Daniel, j. H.
