Mr.. A. r. MURRAY DIES
IN CINCINNATI HOME

Mr.. Aristides B. Murray, 48 years
old, died at Christ Hospital in Gin
cinnati, on Saturday, November 9th,
after a brief illness. The body was
brought to Marietta by his brothers,
Messrs Ed and Ralph Murray, who
were with him at the time of his
death.
The funeral was held from the
home of his mother, Mrs. j. D. MUIR
ray, at 10 o'clock Monday morning,
DR.. w. t. Handy, officiating. The
comforting hymns, "abide with me"
Nearer my God to Thee" and "Shall
we gather at the River" were sweet
ly sung. The interment was in the
City Cemetery, the pall-bearers be-
ing Messrs John Boston, George SEES
sions, D. C. Cole, T. w. Read, Lind
ley Camp, Milledge Whitlock and
George Griffin.
Quantities of beautiful flowers at
tested the love and esteem in which
he was held.
Mr.. Murray is survived by his
mother, two sisters, Misses Lottie
Lou and Ella Murray, and three
brothers, Messrs. Ed, Ralph and
Clyde Murray, all of Marietta.
Obese" Murray, who was grad
uate of Tech in 1898, was one of
Marietta's sons of whom she was
justly proud. He went to Cincinnati
nineteen years ago, absolutely I'M
known, and by his ability and his
mechanical genius had forged his way
to the very top Of his profession, and
had won host of warm friends
among the most influential men of
the city. He was chief designer for
the Cincinatti Shaper Company for
many years, and was also connected
with the r. A. Jones Machinery Co.,
of Covington, KY
Mr.. Murray was exceedingly mod
est and retiring, but his genius was
appreciated by his business associ-
ates. He had patented many inven-
tons that brought large returns to
his companies, and his death was a
sad blow to them as well as to his
family.
His devotion to his mother was
touching, and he had planned to
come home for long vacation on
the very day his body was brought
home.

week in Atlanta. The first session
was held Wednesday morning at nine

In no other church meeting in Geor

than in this one. Because of its
large attendance, intelligent member

every nook and corner of North Geor-

its actions, this meeting is important.

MOVING DAY COMING.

Tenants are making arrangements
to move to other farms generally this
fall. We hear daily Of changes that
will take place. Whenever crops are
short, or prices low, tenants seek 9TH
err farms, seeming to think that the
farm is to blame for short crops in.
stead Of conditions. Then, too, the
general restlessness throughout the
country has pervaded the farm life
as well as other lines. The world
seems to want a change.
So, when you hear wagons rolling
down the big road, you may know
that So-and-So is moving to a nearby
farm for the next years crop.
This general moves effects schools
materially. Those who move do not
want to start their children for the
month or six weeks before the holt
days, as they will be in other schools
afterward. 1t gives the County
Board of Education a problem every
year. They never know nor can
know, what the strength Of any
school community is until after the
moving season is over. Possibly
that's why the law says they shall
.apportion the public funds at the Jan
uary meeting.

GINNING SHOWS COBB
COTTON CROP SHORT

That the cotton crop of Cobb and
adjacent counties is very short is to
be found in the fact that the gins have
not done anything like the amount of
work they had up to this season last
year.
In Cobb County there was ginned
6,498 bales up to October 25 last
year, while to the same date this
year only 1922 bales have been GIN
ned Of course some part of this diff
ference is due to the fact that the
crop is very late this year, but late
crop is also a short crop.
Possibly the low price has not
stimulated the farmers to gin rap
idly, as they would have done with
better prices, but they will all tell
you that the crop is pretty well pick
ed now.
About the same ratio prevails in
the crop in adjacent counties as does
in Cobb, as shown by comparison
of ginnings this year and last.

PRIZES FOR HEALTH Ex-
HIBITs AND BEST ESSAYS.

The Cobb county board of health
will offer many prizes for essays and
exhibits of the different schools in
the county. For this purpose the
County Health Commissioner has d.
vided the schools into two classes,
town schools and country schools. In
the competition for prizes town
schools will be pitted against town
schools and country schools against
country schools.
A prize of $500 will be awarded
one school child in each school for the
best essay written on some health
subject. Subjects to be taken from
list furnished by the County Health
Commissioner. The winner of this
prize will then compete for the grand
prize--a prize of $500, and the Sec
ond prize will be $500, both in gold.
Another prize will be offered to
the schools for the best health exhib-
it and the county will be divided into
town and country districts, as before,
for these prizes, which will be $4,000
for the first prize and $1,000 for the
second prize. These exhibits will be
displayed in Marietta about April Is,
1921, and judged, and prizes will then
be awarded.
To compete for the above prizes,
the school must have Junior Health
Commissioner and Junior Health
Nurse" The appointment of the
Junior Health Commissioner and
Nurse should be made by the princi-
pal of the school. The duties of these
officers will be simple. They are to
send weekly reports to the County
Health Commissioner about local
health matters and conditions. Blank
forms and self-addressed envelopes
will be furnished for these reports by
the county board of health.

"a THRONE ROOM" IN
STATE OF GEORGIA?

According to the Atlanta papers,
and particularly to the Municipal
League Bulletin, Georgia legislation
is largely controlled by lobby To-
Gated in some one of Atlanta's mum
erous hotels. There by use of we'll
known political methods, money, wo-
men, and liquor play an important
part in much of the legislation that
becomes law, and that fails to be-
come law.
New counties are worked out and
support gotten for them, measures
are suggested and plans laid for their
success, and the real hindrance to
important bills comes from the
throne room" according to the Bull
letin.
1t is claimed that much money is
used this way, promises are made to
support the measures of one member
if he will withhold opposition to 9TH
ers, and all the details for legislation
are worked out here.
If anything like half the charges
are true, Georgia needs house
