HOBSON IS COMING
To SPEAK HERE
SUNDAY NIGHT
Union Meeting at Methodist
Church VIII Be Held
Sunday Night.

Richard Pearson Hobson will speak
in the Methodist Church on Sunday
evening at s O'Clock on America
at War"
This is a temperance and a pa
triotic lecture and every one who
can should hear it.
We can say easily that there is no
other speaker in America who can
hold an audience better than Mr..
Hobson. Having heard him speak a
number of times, both in Congress
and on the lecture platform, and on
subjects which at that time were
unpopular, we can not pay too high
tribute to his power as speaker,
or his integrity as man.
We have often heard it said that
no one changes his opinion on hearing
speech, but we have very often
heard men say that Mr., Hobsons tenn
perance lecture changed their views
on the question of liquor.
Time is rapidly vindicatihg the
principles for which Mr.. Hobson
contended in Congress. The need of
larger navy, which was one of his
hobbies in congress a few years ago
is now admitted to be life and
death question with US all.
Yet men, who are still holding on
to their seats in congress, laughed at
him, and also scorned his prohibition
views. Rather than give up his
views on these subjects, and other
moral issues, he preferred to leave
Congress and spend all his time fight
ing for these things.
He has continuously been meet
ing the people, face to face, and
fighting for the right.
If you have not heard him, we
plead with you, hear this man. If
you have heard him, you no doubt
going to hear him again and get
others to go too.
The Baptist and Presbyterian
churches will be closed on Sunday
evening in order to combine in a
rousing union service.

J. j. Hardage.
The following resolution was
unanimously passed:
WHEREAS, 1t is manifest that the
drainage of the wet bottom lands of
Cobb County would result in the
greatest good for the agricultural in
terests of our county; greatly i'm
prove the health of the people,; re-
claim large number of acres of the
richest kind of lands which would
produce large surplus of corn and
enable US to become shippers instead
of importers of corn, and not only
enhance the value of our farms but
increase the taxable wealth of our
whole county.
Be it Resolved, That this mass
meeting called and assembled for the
purpose of discussing the question OF
drainage districts go upon record as
being earnestly in favor of drainage
and we pledge our hearty co-opera.

matter upon the consideration OF
our creek bottom land owners.

DIR. sAWYER'S NOTES.

SO boys and girls have joined the
pig club and 70 boys are going in
the record with an acre of corn,
Bows | am not a mind reader; if you
want to join one of the clubs and
haven't sent in your name send 1t
in at once, as / can not see you all
personally if you are worker and
will go into the club work to learn
something, to raise more food and
to have friendly contests for prem
iums, l want you.
AS this is the planting season it is
very important that nothing but good
seed be planted, if you have scrub
hogs and cattle you expect scrub pigs
and cattle. 1t is the same with seed
plant scrub seed you get poor stand
a week plant and a sorry crop. You
can not afford to use anything but
the best.
Don't plant your crop till the land
is properly prepared, use lots of fer
tilizer with the high cost of every
thing you will be compelled to get a
full crop.
All interested in the drainage of
Noses and Mud Greek are expected
to meet at the Court House Satur-
day 30th at 10 o'clock.
The Hampshire Sows belonging to
Merrell Awtrey and Patterson Kemp
have each eight pigs that gives US a

Mr.. T. W. Florence has offered one
of his registered Duroc pigs as
premium for the best club acre of

Miss, who so successfully staged the
"Deestrick Skule" in Marietta two
years ago is here getting up the en-
tertainment for the benefit of the
war fund of the Daughters of the
Confederacy.
At the rehearsal Tuesday night
Judge Foster was unanimously elect
ed skulemaster. Miss India Harrison
will be Mrs. Honeysuckle, and nearly
all the old scholars" will take the
same parts they had before.
The play will be given in the audi
torium early in April.
Everybody is talking about the fun
they had before and everybody is
going when "skule takes up" again.
