Jesse L. Homer
For County Treasurer

We told souething of th7
qualifications of this very popu.
lar young man during the pri.

The best recommendation of
anyone is that wherever their
lot is cast they make friends
who will stay with the m through
thick and thin and regardless
of party lines
Such are the traits and char
acteristics of the young man
recently nominated on the
democratic ticket for county
treasurer that his neigkbors
regardless of party literally
forced MIN to make the race,
feeling that with his honesty,
his uprightness of character.
his simplicity and good social
temperament, together with his
experience. business qualiffca.
tions and level headedness. the
county would be served to the
best possible advantage of its
tax payers and its entire citizen.
.ry. were he elected 20 that Of
flee.
In addition to his natural
qualifications. Jesse L. Homer
has a business and high school
education that would enable him
to handle any technical busin ess
proposition he might be called
upon to face, Or that might
cross his path. a thorough book
keeping course and short hand
being among his desirable a..
complishments.
Whether you are a democrat

you will make no mistake in
voting for Jesse l.. Homer for

PREDICTS 80 CENTS
POUND FOR COTTON

Former Senator Hole Smith, of
Georgia, in statement to the farm
ers Of the South, says in part:
"The holders Of spot cotton this
year occupy a position from which
they are entitled to name the price
for the supply is million and a quar-
ter bales less than the demand. If
the~farm agencies have the two and
a half million bales under contract,
which is claimed, they are in a POI
sition easily to obtain thirty cents
a pound for their cotton. This above
all years, is the time when holders
of cotton in the South should sell
only as the mills require it for con-
sumption.
"Those with whom / talked be-
lieved cotton will sell for twenty
five cents, as soon as Southern pres
sure to sell ceases, and some Of them
believed thirty-cent cotton probable

ANOTHER 10 PER CENT
PAID DEPOSITORS OF

Llquldating Agent Issues Diyi-

Forty Per Cent Has Now
Been Paid.

Another ten per cent dividend was
paid to the depositors of the Mari

October p by the liquidating agent.
Mr.. G. P. Reynolds.
Forty per cent of the deposits
have now been refunded to the Gus
toners of the closed bank. Consid-
'ering the condition of affairs, the
liquidating agent has made splendid
progress in winding up the affairs
of the bank, which closed in Febru-
airy.
The depositors will probably have
received rs per cent of their depos-
its in all when the final dividend is
declared. The remaining 35 per cent
will require more time for collect
ing than the amount that has been
paid, but this figure will probably
be reached by the time the liquidat-
ing is completed.

this weeks paper are utilized to
quote astonishingly low prices. The
public may rely absolutely upon the
statements made by the Fair in its
advertising, because we, personally,
honestly believe that wonderful val
ues are being offered by the Fair.
Another thing the buying public
may well consider at this time is the
fact that prices are mounting, espe-
cially in, cotton goods. Merchants
have on their shelves goods that they
would/have to pay more for whole
sale to replace than the price they
are asking retail now. But they, like

Here Sunday Morning.

Marietta was ineXpressibly shock
ed and saddened on Sunday by the
sudden death of Mrs. Joseph I'M.
brown, wife of Ex-Governor Brown.

loved women in the state.
On Sunday morning Mrs. Brown
was apparently in the best of health,
and was her usual happy, cheerful
self. But while getting ready for
church, she suddenly collapsed, and
in two hours the end had come.
All day the Brown home was
thronged with sorrowing friends from
Marietta, from Atlanta and from
surrounding towns, who could scarce
ly believe nor comprehend that that
gentle spirit-that busy, active, low
ing friend had really passed over
the river"
All days messages of sympathy,
kilograms and flowers poured into
the stricken household, for Mrs.
Brown had as wide circle of friends
as any woman in the state and
ITO know her was to love her,
To name her was to praise her"
The funeral services were held a.
one o'clock on Monday from the First
Baptist church and were attended by
hundreds of friends.
The services were directed by DR..
|. A. White, pastor, who was assist
ed by DR.. J. H. Patton, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, and by DIR. Hen

WITH MUCH INTEREST
Local Play Lovers Fortunate to
Get Show Here. Price to be

Marietta awaits with keen antici-
patton the production of ooh! Oh.
Cindy" the brilliant farcical musi-
cal revue which will be presented
at the Y. w. C. A. auditorium at
8:15 o'clock on the evenings Of No
vember End and 3rd by a cast of
one hundred and fifteen of Mariet-
ta's best talent.
The play is full Of unusual fea-
lures and the different" things
music of that catchy, lingering type,
and dances, a profusion of them,
the lines of the libretto are among
the funniest ever heard in any pro-
duction.
The costumes are elaborate and
the scenic effects are especially beau
tiful and altogether this will far sur
pass anything ever staged in Mariet-
Gs by local talent.
Although ooh! Oh! Cindy," as put
on by the John B. Rogers Producing
Company has never before been
shown for less than $3.50 a seat. an
exception is being made for this pre-
sentation and tickets will be 55c for
children and 83c for adults Tickets
will be placed on sale next Monday
and seat reservations may be made
at Daniel Bros, without extra
charge.
The story Ct the play, told briefly,
is as follows:
Cinderella Van Alstyne, one of
the principals of the "Ziegfeld Fol
lies" show, becomes dissatisfied with
her surroundings of the theatre, and
expresses a desire that she be permit
ted to try the life of Robinson Cru
soc to learn his secret of content
ment. In a dream she is transported
to the island by the Godmother, Pat
rick O'Hooligan, stage director of the
"Follies" with all the members of the
company. Then the fun starts.
Among the most prominent of the
social set on the island and by far
the most beautiful is Lily the queen
If the cannibals. Her affections are
laid seige to by Friday and Satur-
day, two prominent, though dusky
cIubmen with fiery ardor. Ferdinand
Gotrox producer of the "Follies,"
has been transformed into Santa
Slaus. and his appearance excites the
annetites Of the islanders, who pre-
mare for a monster barbecue. Crusoe
nroves to be a royal old sport and
does his best to entertain the guests
the ladies especially, but it deyel-
ones that even he is not entirely con-
tented. An aeroplane is procured
and the party goes to the land OF
Hearts Desire.
Once here, new troubles come. To
Cindv's idea, things come toe easily
she misses the pleasure of shop
ping. Friday chatting under the tenn
permanent of the artist, longs to ex-
press himself on the bass drum
and he says so in his son, 81 Want
Chance to Meat that Drum"
Things begin to become complicated
when someone smashes the magical
apparatus and breaks the spell.
Cindy awalIens in her dressing
room at the theatre in time to pro-
coed with the evening performance,
during which several unusual num-
bers are introduced.
