MARIETTA GIRL WINS
Tiff COUNTY PRIZE

We clip from the Triton Gazette
a news item which will be of interest
to many of our readers.
Miss Pauline Manning, whose
school in Tiff county won the prize,
is a graduate of Marietta High, of
three years ago, and won the prize
for the U. D. C. essay that year.
The Sonora offered by Brooks Phar-
macy for the rural school in Tiff
county showing the best understand
ing of President Wilson's fourteen
points, as basis for peace, was won
by Nipper school.
The Sonora is a 500 instrument
and the school is congratulated on
winning it. Miss Pauline Manning is
the teacher, and her pupils are said
to understand the difficult problems
presented by the fourteen points so
thoroughly that they would put a
grown person to shame in talking of
them. Miss Manning has been re-
quested to have the pupils give a
demonstration of the fourteen points,
to which the public will be invited.
The committee on award visited
each of the contesting schools and
heard the pupils elucidate the four
teen points. The following is the let
ter accompanying the award of the
prize:
clifton, Ca, May 10, 1919.
Brooks Pharmacy Co.,
Triton, Ga.
"Dear Mr.. Brooks-We, the COM
mittee selected to make the award in
the Sonora contest, have completed
our task and now make our report.
Our work is difficult one. The COM
peting schools were of high order.
The pupils had been thoroughly
drilled and were all conversant with
President Wilson's fourteen points.
All the competing schools have by
this contest been benefited far be-
yond any material reward that could
be given them, in the information
and patriotic fervor, they have ac-
quired. There was hardly a shade of
merit of one over the other. But it
is our assigned duty to select one
as the winner of the Sonora you have
so generously offered to the school
displaying the best information on
President Wilson's now famous four
teen points, and we have named Nip
per as the winning school. There
would have been many other entries
in the contest but for the fact that
they had piano or one in prospect
eliminated them.

Tech FRESHMAN MEDAL
IN ORATORICAL CONTEST
To Represent Tech in Con-
test at University
Handsome Medal from Walter p. An
drews will be Presented Commence
ment Day, June Is, When Other
Honors and Medals are Awarded.

Marietta is proud of her distinction

Marietta High of last year, and son

Reviewing the unusual record for
merit and proficiency made by this
young man in school, his teachers and
friends are not surprised, but are
highly gratified at this evidence of
continued excellence.
We quote from the Atlanta Con-

School of Technology was won We'd

sions, of Marietta, who had for his
subject, The Vision for Which We

in this contest. The medal will be
bestowed on young Sessions on June
16 during commencement season at
Tech, when other medals and hon
ors are awarded to students.
"There were six participants in the
contest Wednesday night, which was
one of the most brilliant in the his
tory of the class. The judges who
decided the winners were Robert B.
Troutman, R. C. Little, principal Of
Peacock School, and H. W. Arant,
secretary of the Emory law school.
"By virtue of winning over the

MARIETTA BOY RETURNS
WITH CROSS OF HONOR
George Goumas, Who Won the D. S.
c., is Back With His Friends
in Marietta Once More

One Marietta boy came home this
week wearing Distinguished Service
Cross, won in the Argonne fighting.
All Sunday afternoon George Gou-
mas was holding regular reception
shaking hands with his many friends,
and being welcomed by them back
home.
George was in signal corps, the
character of whose work was second
to none in the division, and George is
proud of the record of his outfit, but
says little of his personal conduct
which won the cross. He very modest
ly declines to talk for publication, and
says he is more than delighted to get
back to old Cobb county once more.
The Journal some time ago quoted
the citation for bravery under fire
from the official orders. Although
Goumas was himself wounded, he car
ried his more seriously wounded COM
panions to safety, and returned to his
exposed position until he completed
the repair of broken lines and was
ordered back by his superior officer.
George tells US that he has not yet
decided just what business he will
enter, having disposed of his market
business at the time of his entering
the service. We trust that he will be
able to find pleasant and profitable
employment in Marietta.
Being one of the few boys who kept
his promise to write US when he went
away, we are glad to add our congrat-
ulations to those of his numerous
other friends.

A VERY INTERESTING
SOUVENIR OF THE WAR

When the government called for
field glasses early in the war for
the soldiers, Mr.. J. T. Anderson

Colonel Pierce, who has recently
returned from overseas, came up from

of sailing and the return, the whole
being as follows:
A. E. F., May 10, 1918. May 6,
1919. Mihiel Salient, Meuse, Ar

by Mr.. Anderson.

A LICENSED VETERINARIAN

of experience and a graduate of Geor-
gia, has moved to Marietta with his
family and will practice his profess

one in reach who can do such work.
His card appears in this issue, and
he asks patronage sufficient to war

Only a Cold

Are you Ill? is olten answered.
"0h, it's only cold," as if cold was
a matter of little consequence, but
people are beginning to learn that a
common cold is a matter not to be
trified with, that some of the most
serious diseases start with cold. AS
soon as the first indication Of cold
appears take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Remember that the sooner
you get rid of your cold the less the
danger, and this remedy will help you
to throw it off,

Consultation

Most laxatives and cathartics afford
only temporary relief and should be
used only for that purpose. When
you want permanent relief take Cham
berlain's Tablets and be careful to
observe the directions with each pack
age. These tablets moi. only move the
bowels, but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.

Cough Remedy and said she had
bought bottle of it at his store re-
Gently and that it was doing her chill
dren so much good that she wanted to
keep up the treatment. You will find
| nothing better for coughs and colds
in children or for yourself. 1t keeps
the cough loose, expectoration eacy
and soon frees the system from the
cold.

This Means You

When you get up with bad taste in
your mouth, dull tired feeling, no
relish for food and are eonstipated,
you may know that you need a dose
of Chamberlain's Tablets. They not
only cause an agreeable movement of
the bowels, but cleanse and invigor-
ate the stomach and improve the di-

TWO FAMOUS PICTURES
Old Masters Taken by British Officer
From the Ruins of Ypres
Cathedral.

The king of the Belgians will shortly
have returned to him two famous pfc
lures which were rescued, four years
ago, from Ypres cathedral. 1t ap-
pears that during the bombardment of
Ypres in 1915 a young British artil-
lery officer noticed inside the cathe-
dral which was being heavily shelled,
that the only things not shattered by
German fire We're two large Flemish
masters, dated 1900, hanging some 20
feet high on the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-
scented itself. The officer called two
private soldiers TO help him, and with
the aid Of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks, the pictures
were lowered to the ground. The of
ficer, Lieutenant Daniels, r. A.. then
cut the pictures out of their frames
and put them In large sack, which he
used for time as a bed. In the end
he took them to London, where. with
the approval Of the Belgian minister,
they have been placed on exhibition
prior to being returned to King Albert
at Brussels.
