the scarcity of homes in
Marietta

The Allen-Gann Drug Company,
located on the square at the corner
of Atlanta street, has been nicely inn

BOTTLED WEEvILS
SHOW FIGHT FTER
MUCH PUNISHMENT

Bottled boil weevils-a pair, OF as.
lively little cotton destroyers as ever
YOU did see-were brought to the
Journal office last Saturday by Mr.
F. r. Kirk, a prominent farmer on
route five, Marietta.
The capture of the weevils were
made, explained Mr.. Kirk, to settle
an argument as to whether boil
weevil can live through freezing
weather. Can they live? Well, they
were not dead!
This pair of weevils-evidentIy
Johnnie Weevil and Jennie WeeviI--
were very much alive, and full of
pep.
If the farmer thinks he can raise
cotton profitably without making "a
hard and consistent fight against the
weevil, we would say that he is doOHss
ed to financial loss and disappOint-
ment. This pair of weevils had gone
through several days of confinement
in ice, were thawed out by heating
over a red-hot stove, and then con-
fined in an air-tight bottle for sever
al days. Their health had seemingly
not been impaired. They reared up
on their hind legs, made rapid trasit
from one end of the bottle to the.
other. with Just an occasional stop to-
attack the bottle stopper with theiE-
notwithstanding beaks.
Mr.. Kirk gave it as his opinion that
a farmer who expects to raise c0ttOr
in Cobb county profitably in 1922
and henceforth must plant only a
small acreage and care for it proper
~. He says the boil weevil will be
here in greatly increased numbers.
and it will take big and presistent
fight to keep them under moderate
control in the cotton patch the COM
ing summer.

BANKS CHARTER
DOES NOT EXPIRE
UNTIL APRIL 18TH
Decision Handed Down Thursday
by Judge Bell. AAdit to
Close This Week

A decision that the Marietta Trust
and Banking Company is still cor
poration, was handed down by Judge
Bell in the Fulton county superior
court in Atlanta, last Thursday.
This definitely settles a question
that arose two weeks ago when T.
]. Jackson, Tom Gentry, Ralph Man
ming, Frank Quinn and John S.
Walker filed a petition through their
attorneys, Fred Morris and Herbert
Clay, asking that a receiver for the
Marietta Trust and Banking Com
pany be appointed, claiming expira-
ton Of the banks charter and that
a partnership existed.
The decision of Judge Bell is that
the bank is still corporation, and
the charter does not expire until APP
ril IS, 1922.
T. R. Bennett, state superintendent
of banks, who was appointed tenn
porary receiver of the bank by
Judge Bell when the petition was
filed, has been relieved in that capa-
city under the decision, and now has
charge of the affairs of the bank
in his official capacity as state sup
erintendent of banks.
The auditing of the banks books
will be completed this week, and a
local committee will be appointed to
make appraisal of the banks assets.
Until the audit and appraisal is
made no definite information can be
had as to the loss sustained by the
organization.

celver, and has assumed active
charge of the property, including the
fine apartment house on Atlanta
street. All revenue derived from

THE SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING

Twas long years ago that our Pilgrim
Fathers
Landed in the Plymouth Bay.
And is their sacred memory
Here with Us all today
They bowed and thanked their Heay-
emily Father
For the trials He had carried them
through
They Toasted and gave thanks unto
Heaven
And today. are we doing that too?
To be sure we all are feasting
On turkey, plum pudding and cake
But have we the spirit Of those Pill
grims
when we of this feast partakee
We must not forget in our rejoicing
That the Pilgrims reioiced, too.
But they also thanked their Father.
And are we doing that. too?
We AL are apt 20 forget
just why we celebrate today
But even though We look on the gay
side
We must not forget to pray.
