Triton Packing
House Paid for
6O,232 PorkerS

During the eleven months period of
the operation of it's plant at Triton,
from February 4, 1918, to December
81, 1918, the Triton Packing Com
pany paid out to the farmers about
81 100000 for hogs. The number of
hogs purchased was 60,232, the live
weight being 8,420,4 43 pounds.
The plant bought during the same
eleven months 3,053 head of cattle
live weight 1,515,788 pounds.
Through the plant in this time was
handled six million pounds of meat.
Two hundred and forty-seven refrig-
orator car loads, of approximately
10000 pounds each, of meat and meat
products have been shipped to points
outside the state of Georgia, including
the states of Alabama, Illinois, Ohio,
Maryland, Louisiana, Pennsylvania,
New York, Virginia, South Carolina,
Florida, Iowa and New Jersey. About
$50 car loads were shipped to Georgia
points.
The Triton Packing Company was
organized for the purpose of supply
ing local cash market for hogs to
take the place of cotton. The above
figures show how completely this pur-
pose has been accomplished.

WAR BREAD PRICES TO.
CONTINUE 10 MONTHS
BIG MILLERS DECLARE

War time bread prices will pre-
vail throughout the world for another
eighteen months, leading Minneapolis
-four millers predicted today when in
formed of the statement made yester-
day in New York by Julium Barnes,
president of the United States Grain
corporation, regarding the American
guaranteed price Of wheat in relation
to the world price of the commodity.
The milling industry of this has been
practically at a ,standstill since the
government agency ceased buying
-four six weeks ago and was await
ing just such an announcement as
was made by Barnes, H. P. Gallaher,
vice-president of the Northwestern
Consolidated Milling Company, de-
clared.
Immediate resumption of flour mill
activities throughout the country will
follow it was said, and the possibility
of a flour famine as predicted last
week is out of the question.
Fluctuations in the price of flour
during the ensuing eighteen months
will be slight, millers declared.

Griffith Drug Co.

Announcement is made of a new
drug firm in Marietta this week. The
Griffith's Pharmacy, which has been
in charge of DIR. Poole for the last
ten months, has been purchased by
Messrs. N. j. Kile and George W.
Shackleford, and they assume charge
at once, and will do business under

THE FUTURE OF COTTON
DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON.
1878 ACREAGE PLANTED.
Crop Must Be Reduced To
Maintain Prices
A Rise May Come At Planting Time,
But A Fall is Certain If Acreage is
Not Greatly Reduced for the Com
ing Crop.

Mr.. Farmer, it is now up to you to
say whether cotton shall be thirty
cents next fall, or whether it shall
again sink to it's pre-war levels of
twelve and ten cents or even less.
The size of the crop planted this
spring is going to determine this ques-
ton You need not think you can
put in a large acreage, and all the
other farmers plant small crop, and
get away with it.
1t is so much better to be safe
than sorry, and the man who fails to
reduce his cotton acreage and make
cotton strictly his surplus crop, is
going to be sorry next fall.
1t is free country and you can do
as you please, but every cotton farm
er who fails to cut down his acreage
this year should be considered an
enemy of his country, for he will just
be trying to sneak by with something,
and he would only be getting his just
deserts if every other farmer did the
same thing and all went to pot to-
gether.
Now, it is an established fact that
corn and potatoes and peanuts and
hogs and lot of other things pay,
and pay well, on Georgia farms. No
farmer is obliged to plant even half
the cotton he raised this year, so
many other farm products are good
for money.
We believe public opinion is good
for something yet in this country,
even among farmers who have been
charged with not sticking together.
Cut down your own cotton crop now,
and make the man who refuses to do
likewise know that you feel that he
is not the friend of the farmer.
1t is probable that cotton will rise
about planting time to thirty cents
or more, but don't get foolish and
plant too much. Only certain re-
duction in acreage will cause it to
rise that much and it can fall as
quickly as it rises.
Plan to make your money on some
thing else than. cotton this year, and
no matter what the market does about
planting time, do not change your
plans.

ITEMS THAT INTEREST
CONCERNING DOMESTIC
AFFAIRS OF The WEEK
Opposition To New Phone
Rates is Likely
The Vets Still Fight. Ocean Rates
On Cotton Lower. Wheat Price
Fixing Making Trouble. Railroad
Men Organize Secretly.

1t now seems probable that the
Georgia State Railroad Commission
will make fight of some sort against
the phone rate increases ordered by
Postmaster General Burleson on the
goth of January. Judge Hines, at
torney for the commission, has rem
dered an opinion that the postmaster
general was without any authority in
the matter, and it is likely that Geor-
gia will join the other states which
have asked injuctions restraining the
collection of the new rates.
January 18th, 1920, is the date
when the United States will become
bone dry. The formal proclamation
of the ratification has been issued,
and while the liquor forces have
made up a big final "pot" to fight it
through the courts, claiming uncon-
stitutionality and making use of any
technical error of commission or
omission which they can uncover,
there is very little doubt that it will
be very dry in this country after the
date named.
The action of the government in
fixing the price of wheat at 1926 for
this year is causing much debate in
congress, as to how the guaranteed
price shall be paid. Not little OPP
position has shown itself to making
the appropriation which it is esti-
mated will be necessary as a bonus
to sustain the price. The food adj
ministration states that it will not be
concerned in any way in the matter
of sustaining the price, and by its at
torney, it declares that the food ad-
ministration is now in the course of
dissolution as fast as cts duties to the
public service will permit" 1t will
be seen that it is one thing to name
an arbitrary price of a product, and
quite another to sustain that price.
The senate committee on elections
has voted to make an investigation
of the Michigan election for United
States Senator, which Henry Ford
claims counted him out by fraud.
Judge W. T. Newman has written
letter to Senator Hoke Smith en-
dorsing the federal judge retirment
bill advocated by Senator Smith. This
will prove a blow to the enemies of
Smith, who have been saying that
Judge Newman opposed the bill, and
that it was only a partisan measure
aimed at Judge Newman.
Atlanta has it's usual share of notO-
riety in criminal circles this week,
which the papers play up with the
inevitable beautiful women" and
eternal triangles" and "soulmates'
and pistols and funerals. The rail
roads may yet have a week without
an accident, but Atlanta never week
without a scandal.
The ocean freight rate on cotton
was cut this week from $22.50 per
bale to $3.50, which amounts to
nearly three cents per pound. This
had temporary effect on both spot
prices and futures, but futures again
went off to the former level.
Reports from Washington say that
half million railroad men have eff
fected a secret organization recently,
and while no demands are being made
at this time, it is thought that the
power of this organization will make
itself felt at an early date.

10 Business and Professional Men
and Farmers of Marietta and Cobb

DO you want to maintain a com

Coob County? Are you content to LET
thlngs drag along and allow other
progressive Georgia cities to seize all
the splendid opportunities to secure
manufacturing enterprises and capi-
tai now seeking investment in the
south? There has never been a time
IN the history of the country when
greater opportunities presented them
serves for the development of our
southern cities and counties, but if
these opportunities are not taken adj
vantage of quickly, it will be too late
It's the early bird that gets the worm
Marietta and Cobb county offer
greater inducement for men to invest
thelr money, both in manufacturing
enterprises, farming and stock rails
ing, than in any other section of the
state, but these advantages must be
SHOWN the investor or he will look
elsewhere.
II we want to grow and develop our

to stay away, SO we will know who
the kickers and knockers are. Live
wires and cooperation for greater

now. Show your interest and will
lngness to do your part by coming
to this meeting.

COTTON GINNING

Up to January 1st 1919 Cobb
County had ginned 1927 bales OF
cotton against 12,849 to same date
last year.
These figures would indicate that
the total for the current fiscal year
will very nearly reach 10000 bales.
Of this from figures estimated by
several gentlemen supposed to be
familiar with the county, we should
say 400 or more is still in the hands
of the farmer.
Quite a bit is being stored and held
by merchants in warehouses, and it is
our sincere hope that none of it
moves to the mills until the price
shall have gone up to at least 80
cents.
1t is better to hold what you have
and plant foodstuffs only for another
year than to give away this crop and
prepare another crop at an even low
er price.

THE FUNERAL OF
MRS. JULIA NICHOLS

On the afternoon of January oath
1919 in the beautiful church of st
James in Marietta, Georgia, were
gathered the Borrowing friends of
Julia De Lacy Nichols, wife of Edgar
Aston Nichols.
Her sudden death from heart fail
ure occurred January %. She was
born in the beautiful city of Jack
sonville, Fla.
Only a few weeks before Mrs.
Nichols has assisted with the lovely
Christmas decorations, which were
left in the church just as her avn
hands had helped to place them
Those who were present will never
forget the effect of the soft sunlight
as it fell through the windows back
of the chancel upon large wreath
composed of Gala lilies, carnations,
pink crysanthemums, hyacinths and
pink roses, magnificent tribute from
the 883rd Squadron, U. S. A. to
which Mr.. Nichols belonged. Her
friends showered flowers upon her,
and all of these were most beautiful.
One of the loveliest offerings was
from our Marietta telephone girls
and another was cross of carnations
and narcissus sent from the Constan-
tine Commandery.
The hymns, "Nearer My God To
Thee" and ASLEEP in Jesus" were
beautifully sung, and Mrs. Wyatt and
Mrs. E. P. Dobbs sang that song of
marvellous sweetness, "He will take
care of you"
Mrs. Nichols loved her home, and
was never so happy as when she had
her friends around her. She was mar
ried just six years ago.
She was devoted wife, daughter,
sister and friend, and she loved her
church with an intensity seldom equal
ed. She had a passion for flowers
and poetry. On one occasion when
she was much troubled she called on
the writer and during her visit re-
peated so feelingly these lines:
"He who cares for the lily
And needs the sparrow's fall,
Shall tenderly lead His loving child
For He made and loveth all.
And so when wearied and baffled
And l know not which way to go,
know that He can guide me
And tits all that l need to knowW
And she sent her prayers to heaven.
"Like winged ships they HE, Laden
with faith and hope away, and on to
the distant sky"
And to those who loved her, may
each tear We shed be the seed of
a smile,
Our griefs may rejoicings be after
awhile,
The doubts turned to sureties, the
discords to tune
And the cold dawn called Life, in to
heavenly noon.
The rainbow is Graded in storm, and
the SHOWS
Are the sheltering place of the fair
sleeping rose,
And content with the will of the
Lord, soon or late
We shall read the the glad word
DER The Beautiful Gate"
