Woman's Club and Others Protest
Proposed Cutting Mail Delivery
Recommendation of Postmaster
General Hayes that Mail Deliv-
cry be Discontinued in Cities of
Less Than 10000 Pop. Meets
With General Protest Here.

There is not the slightest doubt
but that every organization in Mari
eta will line up solidiy against the
proposed action of Postmaster Gem
eral Hayes to do away with free de-
livery service in all cities of ten
thousand population or less, if the
matter is carried any further than a
mere proposal. Already several or
CARNATIONS of the city have express
sed, few officially, but most as yet
unofficially their intention to resist
to the utmost any attempt to do away
with the free delivery service here
Taking the lead in this, as in most
other things, where the welfare, safe
ty or progress of the city in concern
ed, The Marietta Woman's Club, thru
its president, Mrs. l. A. White, has
gone on record as protesting most Wig
orously against any proposition that
will mean decreasing of the postal
service now being received The
club further protests any reduction
in the salaries of the carriers, as the
proposed ruling provides, if this de-
crease in salary is to affect the quail
ity of service now being rendered.
Many individuals, in fact, most in
the city, who have been approached
upon the matter, emphatically assn
me the same attitude of that of Mrs.
White and the Woman'c Club.

MARIETTA POLICE
COURT WORKS OFF
10 XMAS EFFECTS

The final effects of the holidays
were worked off in police court in
Marietta last Monday night. The eff
feet were worked off of total of 10,
personnel consisting of those of both
colors, with the results from the
effects averaging about $500 each.
The number of law violators were
somewhat in excess of the usual
number and can only be explained
by the use of the appelation already
used. Most of the cases were of
the nature of disorderly conduct.
A few of those who came up for
trial of the colored variety are as
follows: David Fields, disorderly con-
duct, who Paid the city $500 for it's
interest in him. Will O'Neal suffer
ed from disorderly conduct only to
the amount of $3.50 and went away
happy. viii Jones tied him in the
dollars and cents affection displayed
toward him by the city and Will
Newton, played the high ace of the
game by having to plank down only
$3.50 to regain his freedom. Four
others, Celeste Anderson, Ed Lester,
Jean Davis and Dewey Dean ran neck
and neck by pulling down fines Of
$500 each, whiIe George Holmes,
for drunkness and Mary Rogers and
Christine Brown and Tom Emery for
engaging in a free for all,were al re-
lieved of the freedom of spending
$1,000 of their cash as they pleased
The deuce was drawn by Jessie Grow.
whose bad luck lost him 20 days Of
liberty to further commit disorderly
conduct, but recompensed him by
affording him the opportunity Of cat
ing off the city for that length Of
time without cost.

CITY OF MARIETTA
WILL PAVE AROUND !
FOUNTAIN IN PARK

The grading has practically been
completed and within a week work
win be begun by the city to pave
around the fountain in the square
which forms the hub, so to speak, of
all the walks in the park according
to the announcement of Mayor Brum-
by. The grading was done last week
and the paving will be done as SOON
as some of the road forces can be
released from other work. The hub
will be paved out into each walk so
that all each organization viii have
to do, as they decide to follow the
admirable example of the carpenters
and pave one-eigth of the walks in
the square as a contribution to max
ing the city more beautiful win be
to pave from the outer edge to the
paved center.
The material used will be red brick
the same as used by the carpenters,
so as to make the material uniform
throughout the square.
Other organizations have not as
yet been heard from finally in regard
to paving an eighth of the walk. But
many have expressed themselves as
favoring the work but none have as
yet actually passed motion to that
effect.

Willie Scoggins, % year old son of
Mr.. J. w. Scoggins, of the Sardis

HEALTH WORK IS
To De RETAINED
IN COBB COUNTY
County Board of Health Acts to
Continue Health Work But Or
ders Cut in Salaries of Nurse
And Doctor-Meets Approval
Of Civis Bodies in County.

At the meeting of the Cobb coun-
ty Board of Heauth last Thursday, it
was voted to retain the health work
IN Cobb county employing the SER
vices of the same nurse and health
given for general expense but order
ing cut in the salary of DR.. Todd
of $500 month and that of Miss
Gibbs of $500 month Both Miss
Gibbs and DR.. Todd accepted the cut
being willing to sacrifice a part of
their salaries in order that the health
work of the county might go on
1t is seldom that any question COM
ing up for settlement has created
such wide spread interest as that of
the retention of the health work
The last two grand juries recon-
mended the work, but in the face of
this the county commissioners at
their regular meeting in December
ordered such cuts that it would have
meant the doing away with the work
the first of January. Hundreds of
people signed petitions both for and
against the work and nearly every
civic organization in the county
went on record as favoring the work.
At the regular meeting of the
commissioners Tuesday of last week,
upon the giving of an opinion on
the part of the county attorney,
Judge Morris, to the effect that the
matter did not lie in the hands of
the commissioners but properly in
the hands of the county Board of
Health, the commissioners passed the
matter on to the Board of Health.
The meeting of the Board of Heal
tn resulted as above stated. One of
the members was for doing away
with the work entirely, another stood
for it's retention entirely, while the
third member proposed the compro-
mise measure that won the dax, that
of retaining the work with cut Of
salary of each in keeping with other
cuts in the wages and salaries of
public and other employees.
1t is understood that DR.. Carrot
was the one in favor of dispensing
with the work, that DR.. Parkinson
was in favor of retaining the work
on the present scale while the COM
promise measure was offered by Mr.
Hugh Moore.

Guards Are Now Placed AT All
Crossings in City on Sundays
Every Crossing in Marietta That
Has Guard on Week Days Will
Have Guards Retained on Sun
day; Only Mills Street Now I'm
protected Either on Sunday or
Through Week.

Coming largely as the crystaliza-
ton Of public sentiment growing out
Of the death at Polk Street crossing
on Christmas day Of Mr.. Buxton and
Mrs German, of Atlanta, as a result
of the system heretofore in effect
which removed the guards at all
crossings on Sundays with the ex-
ception of one or two more promi-
nent ones, guards were ordered re-
tanned at all crossings on Sundays
beginning with last Sunday by the N.
C. & st. l.. Railway and last Sunday
accordingly marked the first in which
travellers by vehicles in or through
Marietta have had protection from
81 chlcr trairs.
It is understood that the order is
permanent and that in the future
every crossing II thc city that has a
guard during the week days will also
have a guard on Sundays. This leav-
es only Mills street unprotected as
there is no regular guard stationed
there at any time.
This came almost simultaneously
with the appointment of a committee
on the part of the local Civilians for
the purpose of having the railway
company place guards at all the eros
sings on Sundays the same as weel,
days Before the committee had time
to take any action information was
given to the Civitan president, Mr..
j. W. Legg. that the guards had been
ordered retained on Sundays.

The Marietta Fire
Department Enjoys
Unusual Quiet Week

The week has been quiet with the
Marietta fire department, only two
calls having been answered, both of
these coming on Tuesday, one early
in the morning and the other around
seven at night.
The call in the morning was to the
home of Mr.. S. s. Brook, on Lemon
Street. When the force had rushed
pell nell to the scene it was discov-
cred that no fire could be discover
ed" other than that Of smoke from a
fue, which as one puts it, twas the
natural place for it to come from"
The other call was to the store of r
A. Scroggins, on Roswell Street, and
proved to be even less of a fire than
the morning call. The alarm was Of
the lase species-non est variety.

MARIETTAY. W. c, A.
AND ATHENS GIRLS
in GAME HERE SAT,
Athens Girls Have Never Suffered
Defeat But Tnasmuch as Local
Girls Team is one of Best in the
State, Game is Anybody's and
One of the Season Best is AS
spred.

A real humdinger in every way in
the shape of basket ball game is
scheduled at the auditorium next Sat
.urday night at 8 O'Clock when the
Marietta Y. w. C. A. team goes up
against the invincible girls team from
Athens.
The local ''Y" girls are some
champs themselves, having beaten
the Atlanta Y. w. C. A. in their only
game of the season about so points.
The Athens aggregation are a com
bination of champs, unbeatables, fire
eaters and most everything else ar
senic. They hold the proud distinc-
ton of having never suffered a de-
feat in all past years of the existen-
ce of this team. In the only previous
encounter between them and a Mari
eta team the locals were defeated by
40 points.
However, do not let their reputa-
ton settle in your minds the belief
that the locals are certain of a
trouncing and thereby deem the
game of no particular interest. If
the local team, which is unquestion-
ably one of the best girls team in
the country, is any prognosticator
of events, the Athens invincibles
after Saturday night will no longer
be invincible, for the local girls
say and feel as if the game is to be
theirs, as in fact will every other
game in which they will engage this
season.
Following is the line up for the Ma
rietta team: Rebecca Cole and Ruth
Galley, forwards; Gladys Gober,
center; Eva Parks and Mrs. S. A.
Conner, guards; with Mamie Conner,
Charlotte Northcutt and Lois Benson

ACTS BY OFFICERS
200 Gallons Captured near Acwor-

Near Macland, but owners got
Wind of coming officers and
Made Clean Get-a-way-All In

Saturday of last week proved a
very active and profitable one for the

The activities were in two acts,
the scene in the first act being laid

the morning. The climax of the act
lis reached when the principal heroes

The city of Marietta and Cobb
county in general and particularly
those who do considerable TRAVELLING.
along the Dixie Highway in the ,eoun-
ty feel greatly indebted and thankful
to the Liggett and Meyers Tobacco
Company for the installing very re-
Gently of their signs, known as
Highway Lighthouses, and which con-
tlnually throw out flashes of light to
warn drivers or pedestrians of dang
er, at Buffers Crossings in Marietta
and at each of the two under
crossings on the Marietta Atlanta
Road. The signs are very large and
have bulls eye lights from which
flashes are thrown intermittently and
just above the bulls eye appers the
words, Danger Ahead.
The plans of the Company. accord
ing to Captain Grove, through whose
efforts the signs were secured for the
county, call for the installation of
another light at the intersection Of
Atlanta and Washington Streets
within another week.
The signs are very costly, approx
mating $4,000, the total cost for
the four when the final one is INSTALL
ed being $1,750.0O.
All the more important does the
four for this county become when the
fact is disclosed that the company is
putting only 25 of these sings out in
the entire state. Four out of the IS.
means approximately one-sixth.
Of course the highway light houses
are means of advertisement for the.
tobacco company. And needless to.
state that they are about the most
effective advertising means that could
be devised. Nevertheless, the useful
ness of them in aiding drivers to
avoid danger and wrecks is none the
less valuable.
