PASSENGER TRAIN
KILLS WOMAN AND
MAN HERE SUNDAY
H. H. Buxton and Mrs. German,
Well-Known Atlantians Meet
Death at Folks Crossing When
L. and N. Smashes Into Their
Automobile.

While riding nosthward in an au-
tomobile Sunday morning, shortly be-
fore noon, Mr.. H. n Buxton and Mrs.
Maggie German, both well known
Atlanta people, were almost instantly
killed by fast moving south bound
l.. d n. passenger train as they were
making the crossing on Polk Street.
Eye witnesses state that the victims
apparently were entirely unawares of
the approach of the train altho they
were motioned back by the occupants
of two or three cars who had stopped
on the opposite side of the track
to permit the passing of the train. No
guard or signal apparatus were there
to give warning and it is the general
theory that this was the cause of their
failing to take notice of their danger.
It is stated that the automobile was
hit squarely by the engine and hurled
along for some distance down the
track being smashed to pieces on a
box car. The occupants were picked
up and rushed to the sanitarium of
DR.. Nolan, Mrs. Gorham expiring a
short while after the sanitarium was
reached and Mr.. Buxton living for
an hour or so afterwards. Both were
around SO years Of age.
The bodies were taken in charge
by the Black Undertaking Company
where they remained until the next
day when they were removed to
undertaking concerns in Atlanta for
funeral arrangements.
Mr. Buxton was for several years
a member Of the firm of the West
End Crystal Ice Manufacturing Co.,
while Mrs. German was a widow and
resided with a son in Kirkwood.
The funeral Of Mr.. Buxton was
held in Atlanta Wednesday morning
and interment was nthe West View
cemetery The funeral of Mrs. Cor
man took place Wednesday afternoon
with interment also in the West View
cemetery.
Mrs. German is survived by four
sons and one daughter, and Mr. Bux-
tom is survived by wife and one
brother.

ing the two classifications filled.

Gress was being made and the matter

Railway and Power Company as soon
as the other local organizations are
heard from on the subject,
The club UNANIMOUSLY adopted the
following resolution in regard to the
County Agent, County Physician and
Nurse:
Whereas, it. is the sense of this Civil
tan Club that the Board of County
Commissioners made a serious mis-
take in disseminating the services OF
the county Farm Demonstration, the
County Physician and Nurse.
Therefore be it resolved:
That the Secretary be directed to
express to the Board of Commission
ers that we feel that they have made
mistake in disseminating the ser
vices of the Farm Demonstration, the
County Physician and Nurse;
That we consider their services to
the county of great value and that
they are especially needed at TINS
time Of encouragement and depres-
sion;
And that we hereby respectfully
request and urge the Board OF Com
missioners to rescind their action by
which they voted to dismiss the above
servants of the county :,
And this action IS taken with 14i
assurance, as it is in response to the
Commissioners request that the PEG
pie let it be known whether the ser
vices Of the County Agent, County
Nurse and County Physician Wes-
valvod.

High School Basketball Teams
Practice Hard During Holidays

lat the Auditorium Friday night, the
girls opponents being the Carriers
vile High school girls and the boys
go UP against the Citizens and South
ern Bank team, of Atlanta, and should
be interesting from every point of
view. The lineup 70 the boys will
very probably be the same as that
which went up against Acworth with
the exception of Clay, at guard, who
will very likely be replaced by Du-
Pre-, who was unable to be present,
which was as follows: Campbell and
Gilbert, Guards; Fowler, center; Read
and Clay, forwards This line up
with the above change is very likely
to stand as the varsity team for the
season
The probable lineup for the girls
in the Friday nights game and also
the best pick by the coach so far for
the varsity the rest of the season is
Harriet Leake and Emily Haynes,
forwards, Lillian Boatner, center
Margaret MeNeel and Evelyn Kile,
guards. Coach Campbell announces
that there is probability of Ruth
Anderson and Lucy Tate going in as
guards with Captain McNeel being
changed to forward.
Much pleasure is manifested over
the recent announcement that the
league would be a coed afF"'~ 18th
every game to be double header The
boys and girls of each school having
the same opponents. The league
schedule for the season is as follows

Money continues to flow into Cobb
county to the farmers from the Nat
lonal Farm Loan Bureau. Last week
a farmer living near Marietta receiv-
ed check for the total amount of
a 100000 loan applied for and
this week, Mr.. Bernard Awtrey, who
IN handling the matter in this county
states that up to noon Wednesday
eight farmers were recepiants of the
loan for a total of $15,200.0O, and
other loans were being made daily.
1t is expected that by the first of
January, fully 5000, 100000 will have
been turned loose among the farmers
of this county.
In view of this fact, there is little
doubt that farming will show an inn
petus this coming year that will be
the means of rapidly restoring normal
conditions in the county.
The fact is also pointed out by
Mr. Awtrey that all the farmers re-
ceiving these loans are not those who
could get along without the money
but that most of them are those who
really and seriously need the money
and that their getting it is certain to
B3ff merry of the moor farmers ef
the county cut of the ruts of dire
poverty and give them the opportun-
ity whereby they may become real
independent and successful farmers.

TROLLEY De LUXE
TO CARRY SHRINERS
TO Big SNOW DANCE

Every true member of the Mariet-
ia Shrine Club viii be in readiness
to board the Shriners special trolley
de luxe at 1880 Saturday evening,
with all the attachments in the shape
of wives, theirs or others, sweethearts
and orphans, in order that the local
club may cut the biggest shine -
pull down the biggest piece of merr
ment on record at the big snow dance
to be staged in Atlanta that evening
at the Auditorium.
Some several days back the local
Shrine club appointed committee
consisting of Shriners, R. Hancock
Lindley Camp, Stanton Read, Pearce
Latimer and Guy Northcutt, to arran-
ge for a blowout of blowouts during
Christmas week The committee af-
ter lookin the situation over rather
carefully hit upon the plan of killing
the biggest one ever at the Big Shrin-
ers Snow Dance to be staged in At
lanta the evening of the 31st. No
sooner was this step decided upon
than the committee got into thOrO
action and reserved special boxes for
the Marietta delegation in order that
thew might watch with all the comfort
and cas- range of vision possible the
antics of the stunt team, and then
when the decks, so to speak, were
cleared for action of the grand dan
ce. they can swoop down and show
all others what real dancing is.
1t is said that the Yaarab officials
have pledged in their most solemn
manner. of which certainly no oath
can be greater, that this snow dance
will be the most spectacular and the
greatest fun producing party IN all
the long ages Of Shrinedom history. D
The part that the Marietta Shrln-
ers. their wives. sweecheatrs, etc,
are to play in this epoch marking the
entertainment feature of Shrinedom
can be best described by the com
mittee itself, which speaks as follows
"We intend to make that ride 10
Atlanta compare with the famous
iaunt of Paul Revere as would the
roaring effulgence of a noon day sun
Ito the insgnifcient rays OF a Ilgh.-
Iening bug" Following this there IS
not the slightest doubt in the. MINDS
Of EVERYONE that the blood Of every
trne Shriner, or any akin to then

the extent of about five per cent. in
asmuch as a composite report of the
merchants of the city show an aver

trade of this year over that of last

No linking Given Out AS to Final
Observation-Disclosures of Both
Sides Appeared Before Commits

After listening for the greater mart
OF the day Wendneday to the pleas
of Cobb county citizens both for and
against the retention of the work of
the county health commissioner and
assistant and the farm demonstration,
the Board of Commissioners of roads
and revenues postponed all action on

the Carrie Dyer Reading Club of Ac-
worth along with petitions carrying
the names of many of the most prom
inent people Of the county lined up
for the retention of the work The
opposition was not nearly so united
or strong and judging from the weight
of these things it would seem that

does this and the hope was general
among those standing for the con-
nuation of the excellent work of heal

orable decision would be made at
this meeting of the commissioners.
However, it is reliably stated that
these forces will muster their strength
