FORMER MARIETTAN
CLAIMS TO Be OLD
GA. PHARMACIST
DR.. G.. A. Vinson Says He Re-
ceived License in 1882. Disputes
Claims of Sparta Druggist

1t seems that pharmacist down in
Sparta got the idea that he was the
oldest living licensed pharmacist in
the State, and he had a good basic
for his supposition, in fact he had a
basic that was exactly forty years
old.
There was only one hitch in his
story and that was DR.. G. A. Vinson,
formerly of Roswell and Marietta,
but now of Atlanta. According to
DIR. Vinson he secured his license to
mix drugs forty-two years ago-ex-
actly two years before DIR. G. S. Var
deman, the Sparta entrant in this
pharmacist marathon.
This race seems to be like the ia
nous cross-continent race between
Spafk-Plug and Sassy Susie, in which
the Google entrant won by a hoof."
Both men should be congratulated on
their records.

ROY COLLINS
CASHIER OF
CITIZENS BANK
Popular Local Merchant and For
mer Banker. New Bank to
Open for Business Soon

Mr.. L. r. Collins, popularity known
in Marietta and throughout Cobb
county as Roy Collins, has been Sc
lected as cashier of the Citizens Bank.
No more popular selection could have
been made, as Roy numbers his
friends by all who know him.
For several years he has been
member of the firm of Collins Bros,
druggists, and was the founder of
Collins Drug and Seed Store, one of
the best and most up-to-date seed
stores in North Georgia, the need for
such store having been long felt in
Marietta and Cobb county. This bus
mess will be continued by his broth
er, Mr.. John Collins.
Prior to coming to Marietta Mr..
Collins had six years experience in
the banking business, and this expe-
rience with his long and successful
experience as merchant, coupled
with his popularity and natural gift
for making friends, eminently fits
him for his duties as cashier.
When seen by the Journal reporter
this morning Mr.. Collins was full Of
enthusiasm over his new business con-
nection and freely discussed the plans
of the new bank.
81 am delighted to be associated
with this splendid institution" he
said, "and l am perfectly confident
not only Of the banks success, but
that it will successfully and satisfac-
torily serve its large number of
friends and patrons. The same men
and stockholders who so successfully
operated the Citizens National Bank
are behind the Citizens Bank, and this
alone would insure success, but we
also have additional support and new
interests which wonderfully increase
our prospects. We realize the neces-
sity for increased banking facilities
in our city and county, and our bank
will have ample capital and every ia
cility for properly serving it's pat
rons. Our policy will be laid out
along progressive lines and we pro-
pose to extend to our customers full
cooperation and all assistance in
keeping with sound banking princi-
pies.
"We are extending in advance our
sincere thanks for the patronage of
the people of Marietta and Cobb
county, but we are going to do more
than that--we are going to show our
genuine appreciation by prompt, cour-
teous and efficient service"

DEMOLAY QUINTET IS
LOSER IN CLOSE CON-
TEST WITH HI SCHOOL
Students Win From DeMolays by
81 to 10 Score. Read Leads
Scoring of Both Teams
Raymond Rice

In a game full of Thrills the Ma
Rietta High School quintet finally
nosed out a victory over the local
DeMolay chapter before a small but
enthusiastic crowd Saturday night by
the close score of FL to 10. Not I'M
til the final whistle had blown was
anyone sure of who would wear the
yictors' crown.
The game was one of the fastest
and cleanest ever played on the local
court. Referee Campbell only called
three fouls during the entire game.
Read, who is captain of both teams,
led his high school team to victory
by shooting 16 Of their 81 points.
Benson accounted for four of the
other, while Fine annexed the other
one.
For the DeMolays, Dobbs was the
outstanding light. Crowder, however,
played remarkable game. Holmes
and Groves, for the DeMolay and
Fine and Benson for the students
play good games.
This is the second time these two
teams have met. The first ended in
a tie. In the second the High schol
ars won by two points. 1t would
seem that the two teams are very
evenly matched. They will meet
again some time soon. A word to
the wise is sufficient.

SILENT ENEMIES,
NIGHT PROVIDERS
MURDERERS, THIEVES
Thousands of Them in Our City.
DISCRIMINATING Campaign Starts
In Marietta Friday

How many human deaths for which
they are responsible will never be
known, but the United States govern
ment estimates they have destroyed
in this city alone over million dol
lars worth of property. They are do
ing their nefarious work in every city
in the United States. They all come
from foreign countries, they are fill
thy, and possess nothing of their own,
their descendants are never Ameri-
canized. They never produce nor
build, and they exist but to deal
death and destruction.
Good authority estimates they are
increasing % per cent yearly.
1t is estimated that in the city of
Chicago in 1928 they despoiled her
citizens of more than five millions of
dollars.
They are here, firmly established.
What are our citizens going to do
about it? Will you sit down quietly
with this great terror in our midst?
The insurance companies say these
terrorists are responsible for FIVE per
cent of the fires.
In the 18th century they were ram
pant, and were the primary cause of
the deaths of four-ffths of the popu-
lation.
There is no country wild nor civil
lized where they have not foothold.
During the world war in Australia
they destroyed and consumed 50,-
100000 bushels of wheat. In 1909
in India they caused the deaths Of
three million of Hindos.
The general public is not aware
that our government has special
agents to visit every ship that comes
from foreign ports to see that none
of them land, and if one of them IS
discovered attempting to land, orders
are to shoot to kill, and many of
them are put to death and no record
made.
For several days a corpse of spe-
cially appointed men well adapted for
the work have been ferreting out
their hiding places and places ffe-
qu'1ted by them. A we'll organic. d
and systematic campaign against
them will begin Friday. Orders will
be given to kill at sight, entire fam
lilies of them win be wiped out ire
spective of age or sect. Every citi-
zen who loves his flag and country
will do all they can to assist in ex-
terminating them rot and branch.
The entire city will be surveyed
and where they abide will be notated
by street and number, government
literature on our worst enemy will be
freely distributed.
Are any of them in your house,
place Of business or residence? AS a
good law abiding citizen don't fail to
report it. That is provided you won't
Kill them yourself and save the off
cial workers that much valuable time.
Be ready for the big nation-wide,
statewide and city-wide rat cam
paign. They carry the germs of the
fatal bubonic plague and many other
diseases fatal to man. The entire
city must join in this fight if it is to
he success.
For information on the rat cam
palgn which starts Friday, apply to
Chamber of Commerce.

DINNER MEETING
ENJOYED BY AD CLUB
HASTINGS SPEAKER
Fake Advertising Schemes Are
Doom. Advertising Expert
Is Heard

Despite the fact that the city of
Marietta was in darkness Tuesday
night did not prevent members of the
Advertising Club of Marietta from
enjoying a dinner meeting at the Y.
W. c. A. Emergency lights were
thrown into sevrcie and the very in
teresting program which had been
prepared was carried out without 8
single hitch.
After the heavy laden table of
good things to eat had received the
proper attention." President H. G..
Conway explained objects and purpo-
ses of the club and introduced Mr..
W. G. Hastings, Advertising Expert
of Atlanta, as the speaker of the
evening. Mr.. Hastings had been as
signed to the subject of True and
effective advertising" and the man
ner in which he handled the subject
was evidence that he knows the real
meaning of the word advertise.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hastings
address, many matters of Importance
regarding the future activities of the
club were discussed and acted upon.
Five new members who had made
application since the club was or
gained were received.
1t was unanimously decided that
the club should hold regular monthly
meetings, the date of which will be
within one week after the monthly
sales day.
The Golden Rule Sales Days being
the most important matter before the
club, considerable attention and dis
cussion was directed to this plan. 1t
was decided that these days would be
inaugurated beginning the first Mon
day in March. The club wishes it
known that these days are of benefit
to every farmer in Cobb county as
we'll as to every merchant, as on the
first Monday in each month the far
mers will be permitted to bring any
thing they have to sell in the way of
farm implements, livestock and
household goods to the city which
will be sold at auction Final details
and plans for the first day will be
worked out at the February meeting
of the club.
Fake Schemes
Another feature of the meeting
which caused considerable discussion
was that of the many fake advertis-
ing schemes and unworthy solicita-
tions that are presented to the mer-
chant and business men every day of
the year. In order to put check to
these propositions a committee was
named to pass on all advertising
schemes, with the exception of news
paper advertising, also all solicita-
ton propositions, and the members of
the club are requested to turn down
every proposition that has not been
endorsed by the committee. All APP
plnations for endorsement must be
presented to the President or Secre-
tary who will turn same over to the
committee for action. If the mer-
chants who are members of the club,
as we'll as those who are not will CO.
operate with the club in this move
ment thousands of dollars will be
saved by the merchants annually.
