Effectiveness of this lovely home.

the ring in fragrant white lily cup

was said by Rev. w. w. Jones.

BOARD Of HEALTH
TO HAVE CLINIC
AT COURT HOUSE
Meeting of County Board of health
Tuesday takes up matter of
Conducting General Clinic

A meeting of the Cobb County
Board of Health was held at the
court house in Marietta on Tuesday,
and general review of health work
in the county was given by DIR. r.
W. Todd, commissioner of health.
The meeting was attended by the
chairman, DR.. w. H. Parkinson, Mr.,
Hugh Moore, secretary, and DIR. L.
G. Garrett, of Austell, member of
the board.
AS evidence that the health work is
growing in interest, DIR. Todd has
been successful in securing funds
with which to start clinic, and this
feature of future activities by the
Board of Health, came up for much
discussion and enthusiasm. The funds
ALREADY secured by DIR. Todd are just
Ia start towards what is needed, but
promises have been made to greatly
argument this fund and no doubt
many others will be glad to contri-
butte when the clinic is started.
The county board of commission
.ers have granted the board of health
the privilege of using the large room
i'm the rear of the court house on
the lower floor, opening on Wash
lngton avenue, and this room will
be converted into use for general
clinical work. The doctors and den
lists of this county have cheerfully
given their services in the past to
eases of the needy, and have signi-
fled their desire to cooperate with
the health board in the conduct of
the clinic for the needy people of
Cobb county.
The clinic will be under the super
vision of DR.. R. w. Todd, and Miss
Virginia Gibbes, public health nurse,
and with the generous cooperation
of the doctors and dentists of Mar
ietta it is anticipated that great
deal more effective work can be ac-
complished.
The room will be furnished and
fitted up in a short time and the
clinical work should be under way
by the latter part of April.

SEVENTY YEARS
AGO---AND DAYS
"BEFO' De WAH"
S&%s@.
Mr.. Roberts Writes of the Old Ma
rietta, Georgia Institute and Of
Prominent People of the Dos

Seventy years is beyond the allot-
ed lifetime of man, but in this issue
of the Marietta Journal we are proud
to give our readers a pen sketch of
the Marietta of seventy years ago.
The article also includes the writer's
Iboyhood memories of the old Georgia
Military Institute, and is accompan-
led by pen sketches of the Institute
buildings and the square, streets and
principal public buildings and stores
of Marietta back in the fifties.
The writer of this interesting ar
Iticle is Hon. Frank Stovall, of Wash
ington, d. C. Mr.. Roberts is now in
his seventy-sixth year, and his remi-
niscences of Marietta and the men
of prominence in those days, will be
read with interest not only by those
who, like Mr.. Roberts, have distanced
the span of years Laid down by old
Father Time, but by the younger gen.
GRAFTON who have a deep interest and
sincere respect for all things that
happened to their fathers and grand
fathers in the days of long ago.
The accompanying sketches sent
by Mr.. Roberts are of very special
interest, and the Journal will be glad
to print them in some later edition.
In the layout Of the city, Mr., Rob-
erts' memory serves him well, and he
gives location of stores and buildings
with exact precision. Some of the
places sketched are as follows: "The
public square," where Mr.. Roberts
states, virgin oaks and hickory trees
grew in the fifties." "The court
house" in the same location as TODAY
Around the square are many vacant
lots, the only business places shown
on the sketch are "Heggie's Stable"
Roots Drug Store" "Northcutt
Dobbs & Robertson, I'D N Young"
"Agricola's Bakery, "E. Denmead's
Flour Mill", and Little Chuck And
erson's Stable" The Methodist and
Presbyterian churches are the only
ones shown on the sketch. "Rev. Ba-
ker taught a school in this church in
1857 He performed the marriage
Iceremony of the parents of President
Roosevelt. The sketch shows loca-
ton of old homes of VIM. M. Rob
erts, Mr.. Ards, Uncle Billy Harris,
Col. Brumby, Col Tenant. Judge
Daniel Irvine, John r. Cooper. and
the school conducted by Mr.. Hunt.

SIXTY-FIVE new
MEMBERS ADDED
TO CHURCH ROLL
Reception of New Members and
Beautiful Song Service Sun
day morning at M. E. church

Last Sunday will long be remember
ed as a notable occasion for the
Methodist church of Marietta.
The revival services which had
been conducted by DR.. S. R. Belk.
of Atlanta, for two weeks closed on
Sunday, and the morning service was
taken up with very impressive and
beautiful song service and the re-
ception of new members into the
church
Sixty-five additions to the Metho-
dist church membership ROLLS were
entered at this service, by conversion
and by letter from other churches.
There was also several received in
to the Baptist, Presbyterian and Ep-
iscopalian churches last Sunday, and
others will be added, as a result of
the DR.. Belk meetings.
The beautiful solos rendered by
Mrs. Omer Squires at the morning
service at the Methodist church, were
much enjoyed. The time taken in
the reception of new members into
the church carried the service long
past the usual closing hour, and the
communion was postponed until the
evening service.
