MISS PORTER TO LEAVE.
CLARKE LIBRARY ON 20.
Has Accepted a Position In Green
vile, S. G. People Regret
To Lose Librarian.

The Board of Directors Of the
Clarke Library Association held a
meeting Thursday evening, April 6.
There was a full attendance and Miss
Charlotte Templeton, secretary of
the State Library Commission met
with the Board. Miss Porter gave a
fine report of the library work for
the past month, showing large cir
culation, both of juvenile and adult
books. The two series of short story
readings for the high school boys and
girls were most successful, the at
tendance was good, and the readings
met with responsive interest. Miss
Templeton talked over questions of
future activities with the Board, CIV
ing encouragement and advice. 1t is
a matter of regret to the Board, as it
will be to all the patrons of the Lib
rary, that Miss Porter will leave Ma
rietta, April goth, to take a position
in Greenville, S. C. She has won a
high place in the esteem and affection
of all who know her, and it is with
reluctance that Marietta gives her
up. The Board has adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions.
The Board of Directors of the
Clarke Library Association regret
ing the close of Miss Annie S. Por-
ter's services as 1ibriarn in Marietta,
and realizing the great value of her
work here resolve:
First-That we express to Miss
Porter our appreciation of the splen-
did constructive work she has accom-
plished with the Clarke Library, and
thank her for her unflagging interest
and enthusiasm which have made the
Library valuable factor in the COM
munity. Her record Of the past six
months demonstrates beyound argu-
ment Marietta's need of a free pub
lie library, with trained Librarian in
charge.
.Second-That we extend to Miss
Porter the assurance of our friend
ship for her, and our interest in her
future career, and wish her great sue
cess in her new field.
Third-That copy Of these reso-
lutions be sent Miss Porter, and be
published in both the Marietta pa
pers.

Spots for May
AT The FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH

Rev. c. M. Cloud, whom DIR. White
has been assisting in a meeting at
Edgewood, filled the pulpit last Sun
day morning. DR.. White will be
back in his pulpit at both the morn
ing and evening hour next Sunday.
Over three hundred in Sunday
school last Sunday. A few months
ago this would have been considered
extra good attendance, but now this
is just considered fair. In fact four
hundred seems to be the goal now
and there is really no reason why it
cannot be reached. Just a little en-
thuslasm in every class will make it
easy. This does not mean, however,
that any of the classes are asleep.
The Philatheas have Just had their
class room ceiled and placed a new
rug on the floor. The Fidelis class
is most certainly wide awake, judg-
ing from the fact that they have
built themselves a new class room
and paid for it. Close to fifty men
are meeting in Col. Fosters class
every Sunday morning and Studying
the Word and getting better acquain-
ted and learning to love each other
better.

B. Up. U. HOLDS SECOND
ASSOCIATI0NAL MEET
Smyrna Was Scene of Meeting On
9th and 9th. Excellent Work
Done in Past Year.

The Second Annual Meeting of the
MONDAY Associational B. Y. P. U.
Institute was held at Smyrna Sunday
with the Smyrna Baptist Church
A splendid program had been pre-
viously arranged by Miss Alma Gil
brit, the first president of the Associa-
tional organization.
The first session of the meeting
was held Saturday afternoon and a
good number of delegates were on
hand for the opening numbers.
Saturday night DR.. Ham, pastor of
the Tabernace Church in Atlanta,
gave an interesting and inspiring
lecture on "The Orient" DR.. Ham
gave his ptrosnal experiences and
opinions of the situations with the
nations of the Orient and urged more
young people to prepare themselves
for the wide field of service offered
in Japan and China. DR.. Ham is an
eloquent speaker and delivers his
messages in clear forceful manner
Mr.. Frank Leavell, state field sec
rotary of the B. Y. P. U. gave several
lectures during the Institute. Mr.
Leavell is very popular with the
young people of his denomination
and they are always eager to hear
what he has for them at the B. Y.
P. U. meetings. The remarkable
showing made by the Baptist Young
Peoples Union in Georgia is due
largely to the efficient and conscien-
tious leadership Of Mr.. Leavell
Many interesting and instructive
numbers were given by talent in the
MONDAY Association. Speakers were
drawn from several Unions and a de-
monstration program was rendered
by the Acworth Union.
Miss Alma Gilbert, as president
and the other officers of the Associa-
ton were commended for the splen-
did showing made during the past
year. Reports from the four dis
tricts showed that many Unions had
been organized since the last Insti-
tute. The last session of the meeting

MONEY FOR TEACHERS
SALARIES is SUPPLIED
Superintendent Moore Has Made
Arrangements With Local Bank
To Take Care of Warrants

1t is gratifying to the general pub
lie and must be very gratifying to
the county school teachers to know
that a local bank has their interest
to heart enough to supply money at
the present time in order that they
may not have to wait until next year
or dispose Of their warrants at big
discount to get the salaries they have
earned.
The following letter will explain
the matter fully and the officials of
the local bank are to be commended
for their interest in the county
school work. 1t also shows that the
county school superintendent is on
the job looking after the interest of
the teachers as we'll as the children
of Cobb county.
Mr.. Hugh Moore, c. S. S.,
Marietta, Ga.
We have your letter of the 4th
inst, advising that you hold school
warrant issued by the State of Geor-
gia for $5252. 90 due Feby. 1st 1922,
which represents the salaries of the
teachers of Cobb County Schools for
the period just ended, and inquiring
of our willingness to handle this war
rant in order to provide funds to pay
these teachers. We note from your
letter also that the State officials
have been unable to discount the
warrants as heretofore, and that
there are no funds available in the
treasury
Of course you understand the f.
nancial conditions existing through
out the country, and also understand
that the banks are not making long
time loans, however, we are not un-
mindful Of the service we would be
rendering to the large corps of teach
ers of the county by providing the
money to pay these worthy servants,
and we are pleased to advise that we
will gladly handle this warrant for
you, in order that they may not be
kept waiting for their hard earned
pay. If YOU will endorse the war
rant and deliver to us, we will credit
your account and you may issue your
checks at once to the teachers.
Yours very truly,
J. Z. Massey, President.
