TO MAKE NONSTOP STATION
FOR FAMOUS DIXIE FLYER

We carry in this issue notice of
the intention Of the railroad admin
istration to apply for leave to dis
continue the stopping of the south
bound Dixie Flyer in Marietta.
This train now carries the last
southbound mail of an evening, and
if this permission is given, no mail
reaching the postoffice as late as six
o'clock will go south until the follow
ing day.
Already our mail service is badly
handled so that it is far from efficient
and part of the blame falls on the
railroads and we can i'll afford to give
up this dispatch by the Dixie Flyer.
The case is to be heard before the
railroad commission on Nov. 26 and
of course if no protest is made the
discontinuance will be granted. We
trust the railroad authorities will see
the hardship imposed and withdraw
the request.
We have however no board of
trade to present the case of the town,

men PLEDGE SUPPORT
TO LOCAL Y. W. C. A.

At a six-o'clock dinner on We'd
nesday evening the Y. w. C. A. of
Marietta entertained some fifteen
gentlemen who have been interested
in the work of that association.
Mrs. S. D. Rambo presided over
the occasion and after delightful
dinner had been served and enjoyed,
the company was addressed by Miss
Amy Smith, of Richmond, one Of the
leading workers of the National As
ISOLATION.
Miss Smiths enthusiasm and zeal
in the work was transmitted to her
hearers, as she briefly outlined the ac-
complishments of the association in
the past, and outlined it's aims and
needs for the future. She was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Rambo who presented
the plans of the local association,
and asked the advice and suppot of
those present in a matter of raising
funds for the work of the local Y.
w. c. A.
Miss Skinner, Of Richmond, an
other leader who was with us at the
time of the pageant, also added a
few words explaining certain phases
of the work.
The hearty moral and financial sup
port of every gentleman present was
enthusiastically pledged to the asso-
citation, each one having a word of
encouragement for the movement.
Plans were made for securing the
necessary subscription for the local
work and these will be made public
later. Miss Smith came to deliver an
address upon ''The Power of Grow
ing Life" at the Baptist church on
| Thursday evening.
The local secretaries, Misses Ma
honey and Brown, and a number of
! other ladies were present and parti-
cipated in the service and enjoyment
of the dinner and discussion of the
association work. ~
No more important work is going
on in America today, than that of the
Y. w. c. A., and it is the duty, and
should be the pleasure, of our peo-
pie to give it cheerful and liberal
support.

Prohibition Laws OF The
United States

Atlanta, Ga, November 18.-Ofi-

headquarters of the campaign for law
enforcement. A statement says in
part:
I'VE are not considering and we
do nto intend to consider any kind
of fight against the cigarette or any
other frmo of tobacco, and we are
not allied with any such movement.
We are going to have all we can do
in the next few years to secure en-
forcement of national prohibition and

"The going into effect of constitu-
tional prohibition on January 16,
next" added Or. C. C. Pones, super
intendent of the Georgia Department
OF the Anti-Saloon League, "does not
end the fight on the liquor traffic. On
the contrary we are entering upon
our hardest fght-to see 70 it that
the laws are enforced.

OLD WATER BOARD NOTES
ARE HELD TO BE INVALID

The celebrated waterworks suit
came up for trial at this term of
court and decision was rendered on
Wednesday in favor of the plaintiffs
who enjoyned the city board of water
and, lights from paying certain notes
amounting to $4,000 to the holders
of these notes.
This case had been tried before
Judge Searcy last year in Cobb Court,
Judge Morris being disqualified by
reason of former connection with the
case as counsel for the plaintiff, and
was decided by Judge Searcy in ia
vor of the defendant. The case was
carried up and sent back again to the
lower court.
Under the ruling of the court the
Trust Company of Georgia, E. P.
Dobbs and other holders of the notes
are permanently enjoined from col
lecting the notes. The notes are held
to be invalid and are ordered deliv-
cred up and cancelled.
The court however held that this
decision should not prejudice the
right of Dobbs to endeavor to collect
the money claimed to have been ad-
vanced by him, on point of merit,
or on suit for money had and re-
ceived, Dobbs' right under this theory
of the law being left open for fu-
ture determination.

First National Bank Interests
Secure Control of the M. DE- F.
he Largest Financial Transaction of Recent
Date Consumated in Marietta This Week by
Changes in Ownership of Merchants & Farm
Bank Stock
An Alliance Of Banking Enteress.
That Make For Strength
And Protection

One of the biggest deals in local
bank affairs 'has just ben consunated
by the acquisition of majority Of the
stock Of The Merchants & Farmers
Bank By the directors of the First
National Bark, of Marietta. The
eapatal stock of The Merchants &
Fann1ers Bank is ffty-thousand dol
lars. 1t is the youngest bank in Ma
rietta and has had a creditable
growth and influence since organiza-
ton.
This stock is to be offered to the
stockholders of The First National
Bank in proportion to their holdings
of First National stock, and it is ex-
pected that it will be eagerly sought
by them. A number of other pro-
minent business men have acquired
stock of The M. & F. and they too
will affiliate with the interests of The
First National Bank.
Mr.. D. R. Little, will go to The
Merchants & Farmers, for a short
time, to represent the new interests,
while Mr.. R. A. Hill, president of The
M. & F. will still be with that institu-
tien. Mr. E. c. Gurley has sold his
stock, and will retire from his con-
nection with the bank.
The combined resources of the
two banks approach the two million
mark, being about $1,S00,00O at this
time, far exceeding the resources of
any other financial institution be-
tween Atlanta and Rome.
This alliance or association of in
terests will greatly add to the
strength and safety of The Mer-
chants & Farmers Bank, while it de-
tracts nothing from that. of the First
National. The friends and depositors
of The M. &. F. may congratulate
themselves upon the new condition.
The phenomenal growth and sue
cess Of The First National Bank I'M
der its present officers and manage
ment will undoubtedly be reflected
IN the business of the smaller bank,
Sand greater prosperity is certainly in
store. for it and its stockholders.
Aside from the stock which it il
proposed to offer the stockholders of
The First National the following in
fuential citizens and business men,
will be prominently identified as
stockholders in the new organization,

Fourth's fullback, played a good
game. 1t was clean game in all
respects, neither team being penal
lied.
