brought to Marietta for funeral ser
vices and interment, on Saturday

Quoted from the home of her mother
Mrs. E. l. Welsh, at four o'clock on
Saturday afternoon, the Rev. Rem

"Asleep In Jesus" "God Will Take
Care of You" and "Abide with Me-
were the hymns sweetly sung by Mrs
Henry Wyatt, Sr., Mrs. E. P. Dobbs
Mr.. E. l.. Moore and Mr. Beyerle.
A touching feature of this saddest
of funerals was the fact that the cot
fin was placed in the very spot where
Martha Welsh, as happy bride,
plighted he troth to George Moore
just eight years ago.
The interment was in the city GENE
etery, the pall-bearers being Messrs
A. S. Cohen, George H. Sessions, r.

Sans and J. J. Daniel.
The grave was covered and sur
rounded with beautiful flowers sent
by sorrowing friends of Waycross
and Marietta.
Mrs. Moore is survived by her hus-

aged 3; her mother, Mrs. E. l. Welsh;
four sisters, Mrs. J. H. Groves and

goes out to the young husband in his
bereavement, and the little children
left motherless.

MRS. GRADY CONWAY
PASSES TO BEYOND

The Methodist Church was crowded
with serrowing friends, on Tuesday
afternoon, who gathered to attend
the last sad rites for Mrs. Grady Con-
way, of Atlanta. Mrs. Conway died
at a private Sanatarium, in Atlanta,
after long illness, on Sunday night.
The remains were brought to Ma
rietta on Tuesday, and the funeral
service was conducted by the Rever-
end Charles o. Jones, pastor of Trim
ity Methodist Church in Atlanta.
Dr. Jones made touching and i'm
pressive talk, dwelling on the beauty
of character and sweet disposition of
the deceased; and of her faithfulness
and loyalty in every relation in life.
She was a devoted church member,
and took an active part in church and
Sunday School work, both in Atlanta
where she moved four years ago, and
ip Marietta, where she was reared.
Mrs. Henry Wyatt, Sr., Miss Addie
Seize, Mr.. J. z. Foster and Mr. Adams
sang "Asleep in Jesus" "Some time
Well Understand" and 'It is Well
With My Soul"
The floral offerings we're remark
able for their profusion and beauty.
The interment was in the City
Cemetery, Messrs Will Neal and D.
R. Little being the pail bearers from
Marietta, the others being from At
lanta.
Mrs. Conway is survived by her
husband, Mr.. H. Grady Conway, her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. w. Moon,
and one sister, Miss Nina Moon.
She was reared in Marietta, the
family going to Atlanta about five
vars ago. She was lcved by all who
knew her. The sympathy of adj goes
out to the sorely bereaved family.

ALLOTMENT AND
ALLOWANCE CHECKS

There has been change in the
system of the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of the Treasury in the mat
ter of allotment and allowance checks
This results in some of the checks
sent out by the bureau being for
smaller sums than heretofore, but the
amounts ommitted from the checks
sent out by the bureau will be inelud-
ed in checks sent out from other
sources.
The new system will simplify the
work of the bureau and is expected
to accelerate the payment of allot-
ments and allowances.
Prior to July last the War Risk
Insurance Bureau took the compul-
sorry allotment of SIS month and
whatever additional sum the enlist
ed man chose to allot to his family,
and the whole amount, together with
the Government for dependents was
included in one check and sent out
by the Bureau. Beginning with the
July pay the bureau will collect and
send out only the compulsory allot-
ment of SIS a month and the govern
ment family allowance.
The excess allotments over the
compulsory SIS allotment and the
allotments to persons not entitled by
law to allowances will not be handled
by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
but by the War or Navy Department,
the Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, ac-
cording to the branch of service to
which the enlisted man belongs.

APPEAL FOR MARIETTA
TO ORGANIZE Y. w. c. A.

The Y. w. C. A. is knocking at our
door: what shall we do about it?
Shall we hasten to open wide the por-
tai, and let the sunshine of it's pre-
sence in, accept this generous offer
given us from the National Y. w. Z.
A.. and with it's wonderful opportun-
tiles for uplift, education, achieve
ment and mutual benefit; or shall we
close the door of opportunity, and re-
turn to our darkened room, and allow
this great blessing to pass US by!
| cannot believe that Marietta
woud be so false to her own interest.
Let us be "up and doing"
These are times that call for work;
and when the Secretary, who is sent
us free ofexpense to ourselves, ar
rives in September, let US be ready
to greet her with membership roll,
so long, and so SUBSIDIZED to, that she
will be encouraged to form our fine
army of earnest voluntary women,
young and old, into splendid band
of organized workers.
1t is impossible in this short article,
to give even an outlined sketch of the
work or the Y. w. G. A.
Miss J. Skinner, who is engaged by
the National Y. w. c. A. has, as her
appointment, four counties. Her
headquarters are in Atlanta. She
has visited Marietta several times,
with a view to forming an Association
here, and offers us this grand oppor-
tunity.
The good it will do, is so far reach
ing, and so beneficial, that other
places much smaller than Marietta,
are pleading to have it come to them.
| believe every woman, young and
old, will welcome this wonderful gift,
with thankful hearts, and when the
canvassers come to them they will
gladly place their names upon the
list for membershi.
We have but to follow the suggest
ions and plans laid down by the Ma
t onal Secretary, who will come to us,
at stated times, and through her in
struction, learn to conduct our work
end recreation.
Here, in brief, are some of the
things the Association offers:-
Opportunities for Service Girls
are eager to express their patriotism,
as are boys. Develops and proves
leadership as men continue to go to
the front, more and more girls will be
called upon to fill positions of respon-
sibility and trust.
Keeps life normal in these days OF
stress and strain, by providing bal
anced program, Social, Educational
Religious.
Maintains a Club room, that offers
an attraction, for resident women
and those out of town.
Connects the girls with world
wide Organization, that has taken
foremost place in war work activities
The nominal fee of so cents, entl,
ties one to become member, the Sec
retarys expenses are paid by the Ma,

MEYERHARDT LODGE NO. az
IN MEMORIAM

Brother E. Y. Hill who met an H,
timely death at his home in Kenne
saw, July 26th. 1918, was a memhor
ofthis lodge, having received the do,
grees as follows: Initiated Octobar
9th. 1900; passed November 10th
a 900; raised November oath. 1900
Brother Hill met his death almost
instantly at his home where he bo
came entangled into a belt from
gasoline engine which he was then
operating, and was found soon aftsr
by his wife and relative in dvino
condition.
His funeral was conducted at the
Methodist Church of Kennesaw, Ga
on July 9th 1918. He was a faith.
full and loyal member of that church
and his funeral was conducted bv
Rev. w. E. McCollum.
The Masonic Fraternity to which
he belonged escorted the remains
from his home to the church, thence
to the city cemetery where the SER
vices were concluded in an impressive
and masonic manner by, Brother G.
S. Bond, Worshipful Master, Brother
J. E. Lester, Senior Warden. and
Brother ]. W. Ellis, Junior Warden
Brother Hill loved Masonry and
was highly impressed with its infu~
ence and has been passed to the hon
orable degrees of the Shrine. He
was one of our truest and best mem
bers, true at all times under all cir
cumstances to all that was true and
for the promotion of every good
cause, for God, and for humanity.
He was and had been treasurer of
this lodge for the past fifteen years,
having been elected in recent years
by acclamation without dissenting
ballot, as masons' knew his character
was above reproach.
Therefore be it resolved by this
lodge that in the loss of Brother Hill
tt is lodge, this neighborhood, and this
country has lost one of its most be-
loved and respected citizens, and his
loss to our lodge and neighborhood is
irreparable. AS it seems to US there
is no one among US who can fill his
place in good, loyal and true work in
+, rmony with masonic teaching as he
did, but we humbly bow our head and
trust to the Grand Architect of the
Universe, who doeth all thing we'll,
and trust in Him that when one by
one we are called that we may leave
behind nme of honesty and purity
as Brother Hill did, which is an hon
to the craft he so devotedly loved.
Be it further resolved that, this
lodge tender to brother Hills wife
Cur heartfelt sympathy in this her
sad bereavement and that the secre-
tary spread the same upon the book
of minutes, and copy of same be
sent to sister Hill, and that the altar
of our lodge be draped in mourning.
Respectfully submitted
B. H. Carrie, Chairman
J. F. Brinkley
