"oUR JIM" is HOME AGAIN

lin Mckinney, "our JIM" is at
home on a two weeks furlough.
Jim is in the navy-has been since
leaving us in 1917-and he is ships
printer on the battleship Oklahoma
The Oklahoma is one of the very
biggest and best of our navy. 1t
27.5OO tons, and is an oil burner.
For the past year, it has been one
of dozen of our big battleshlps'
that helped the British feet form an
iron Gordon around the German fleet.
The day after the surrender of the
German fleet it left Portland, Eng
land. and is now at anchor in North
River off 96th street in New York,
where it with others was reviewed
bv Secretary Daniels last week.
While jim has his overseas service
stripes. and has spent much time IN
the submarine infested waters, and
in every other sense might be called
a brave sailor, he is too modest to
let us get his picture for the paper
Like one of our other boys, Jud-
son Stanley. of the Marines, who at
last accounts was lying wounded IN
France, Jim is a printer but ne wants
the praise of the printers INK to De
given to the other fellow.
Well we are proud of jim and Jud-
son anyway, and we are disregarding
their wishes to the extent OF these
remarks.

MR.. o. F. BACON BROUGHT
TO MARIETTA FOR BURIAL

The remains of Mr. 0. F. Bacon,
who died in Seneca, South Carolina,
on Christmas eve, were brought here
for interment on Thursday after

Mr.. Bacon had been an elder for

WAR DEPARTMENT TO SELL
LOTS OF MULES AND HORSES

There will be a sale of horses and
mules at Camp johnson in Jackson
Vile, on January Z, by the War De-
partment
In the lot viii be 125 cavalry
horses, 200 artillery horses and 175
mules.
This is probably only the beginning
of number of such sales at the va
rious camps through the south, as
they have on hand many head of stock
which they no longer need.
It is to be hoped they all get back
into farm work in time to make crops
this year.

COBB COUNTY CLAIMS
FINEST BANK BUILDING
The First National Bank Of MARKETS.
Probably Best Equipped in
Amy Town in South

In the new First National Bank
building in Marietta, we have probab-
ly the most complete and up-to-the-
minute bank building and equipment
in the whole country.
If you have been through this build
ing, and inspected its vaults and
safety appliances, you will not be
at all embarrassed upon entering any
banking institution in New York or
Chicago--the only difference would
be the size perhaps.
The building itself is of white mar
BILE furnished by the Georgia Marble
Company, and it is of sufficient height
and proportions to give it an impos-
ing appearance, and its location on
the corner, with broad alley behind
it, is considered the best in Marietta.
On entering the front door, you
are impressed by the high ceiling and
the large windows on the right outer
wall Above the lower windows il q
second row of windows and these
give a most excellent light through
out the building. A substantial sys-
tenn of sliding curtains are easily
operated by cords from the floor.
The floor of the corridor is tiled,
and on the inside work space, the
floor is covered with a cork mixed
Iinoleum, which makes it dry and
noiseless.
On the right of the entrance is
most beautiful room or alcove with
chairs and desk for the special use
Of lady customers.
To the left is a special private re-
ception room for use Of the public as
occasion requires.
Beyond this is a rallied space for
desks of the president and cashier,
followed by the work room and cages
of note teller, teller and collector.
Directly back of the teller's cage is
the money vault, which besides being
equipped with the most modern safe,
is itself secured by steel door with
twenty lock bolts, as. is the vault adj
Joining, which is solely for safety de-
post boxes. These boxes are of I'M
usual size, and we were amazed at
the low rate at which they may be
rented.
A private room with desk and chairs
is provided in the rear for the use
of renters of these safety deposit
boxes. A closed phone booth inside
the work room insures privacy.
The building is heated from the
boiler room in the basement in the
rear, and the directors room is built
above the vaults, and reached by q
staircase from the worhoom. This
upper floor also has most spacious
balcony, which is large enough for
desk room, if occasion should re-
quire
The directors room is commodi-
Gus one and has chairs and table Of
mahogany.
To divert from the. physical to the
financial side of this institution, we
would refer our readers to their state
ment of January 1st, which appears
in this issue. The growth and pro-
gress shown has been remarkable, bat
it is in keeping with the growth Of
our county and the spirit of the
times.
With resources of more than 2 nil
lion dollars, and with surplus and
profits nearly equal to its capital
stock, it shows an unusually strong
position.
