Bio Bunch of Sales
By Carnes Really Co.

Friends of Mr.. l.. B. Carnes will
be pleased to know that his real
estate business continues to grow
steadily and broadly. On last Sat
urday there were eleven transac-
tions, sales and exchanges of real
estate, in his office in which $685.
10000 changed hands. These deeds
were written, witnessed and will
be recorded in due course of time.
This was the thirteenth of the

Civ Council Commends Services of
Mr.. T. A. GramIing and Then Elects
Mr.. Ralph Norfhcuff TO Water Board

At can meeting of the Mayor
and Council held last Saturday
settlement of the long drawn out
zvrangle over the affairs of the
BOARD of Water and Lights and the
n1avor was adjusted and it is now
thought that harmony will prevail.
The trouble has been a disagree
ment between Mayor Brumby with
the policies of the Board, especially
WITH regard to Mr.. 7. A. Grmaling.
Mavor Brumby felt that he was
right and Mr. Granting, feeling
that his integrity had been ques-
toned by the Mayor. On the first
of the year his term of office eX-
nired but the council was unable
to elect a successor as Mr.. Granting
had three supporters who stood by
him in a way that prevented the
election of a successor, but at the
same time not re-electing Mr.. Gram
ling. This condition could not con-
tinue so a settlement was finally
brought about by Mayor Brumby
stating in open meeting of the coun
Gil tnat his attitude was not intend
ed as a reflection on Mr.. Granting
personally. This statement, given
below, was placed in the minutes
of the council, and that body then
passed resolutions commencing Mr..
Granting and a copy was ordered
sent to him. Then a unanimous
vote of the council was cast for Mr..
R. w NorthcutC.
This was satisfactory to Mr.
Granting Mayor Brumby, and the
supporters of eacn in the council.
Mr.. Northcutt is a man of sound
business judgment and will do mis-
duty as he sees it without regard
for anything but the best interests
Of Marietta, and the Journal is glad
that he has consented to accept this
responsibility. We are also glad to
see the action of Mayor Brumby in
making the statement he did.

OF Meat and Dairy
Products in 1916

Atlanta, Ga, January 15.--Not-
withstanding the fact that Georgia
produced no less than $4,000, 900
worth of beef, pork, mutton, milk,
butter and eggs during 1916, mill
ions of dollars went out of the state
to buy meat and forage, snowing
that there is still room for a great
advance in living at home.
That the state is not asleep, how
ever, is shown by the rapid growth
of the live stock industry and the
multiplication of packing plants in
various sections of the state ana in
adjoining states where they are
being located within convenient
reach Of GeOrgia's cattle and hogs.
