the combination.
W. E. Wells, of Hamilton, Ga, who
has charge of thirty thousand BUSH
ell capacity plant, in that city, is here
to supervise the packing of Cobb

SALES DAY WAS A BIC
SUCCESS IN MARIETTA
MONDAY, MARCH Ord
Visitors, Customers and Mer-
chants Well Pleased With
Big Event

Golden Rule Sales Day, as expect
ed, proved to be one of the biggest
days in the history of the town for
merchandising and making friends.
Ideal weather prevailed the entire
day and people from many miles
around were seen on the streets and
in the stores taking advantage of the
unusual bargains prepared for them
by the members Of the sales day en-
terprise.
The auction sale held on Mills
street proved to be an interesting
feature of the day. Although there
had been little time to collect arti-
cles for sale the number Of things
brought in by farmers to be offered
to the highest bidder was very salts
factory, in fact ranged all the way
from bicycle to jack ass. Nearly
all the things offered in the auction
brought very satisfactory price for
the owner. This sale will be con-
Quoted each first Monday in connec-
ton with the Golden Rule Sales Day
and is for the benefit of the farmers
The services of the auction commit
tee are free and all farmers who
have articles that they would like to
turn into cash are invited to bring

JUDGE D. W. BLAIR TO
OPEN CIVIL SECTIOH
OF COBB COURT MON.
Average Docket Faces Court. Mrs.
Ruth Billiards. Trial Will
Come up During Term

The March term of the Cobb Su-
perior Court will convene Monday at
9 o'clock. Following the regular
procedure the civil cases will be
heard first. This will consume the
entire first week, it is thought. The
calendar is an average one for the
civil section, being made up of di-
vorce, damage cases, and suits on
notes principally. Dan Cupid seems
to be holding his own in good old
Cobb county. The number of di-
vorce cases are small compared to
other counties with the population of
Cobb.
Mrs. Billiard to Face Trial
Mrs. Ruth Billiard will go on trial
for the second time to answer to
charges of assault with intent to muir
der her husband, Dewitt Billiard,
growing out Of an alleged conspira-
cy with Sim Edwards, a neighbor and
friend of her husband, to get Bul-
lard out of the way. The exact date
of the trial has not been announced
but it is a certainty that it will be
some time during the second week
of court.
Edwards was tried and convicted
but Mrs. Billiards. first trial ended
without an agreement by the jury al
ter she had taken the stand and in a
dramatic fashion denied the charges
her husband brought against her.
Edward appealed for a new trial but
it was denied, she later appealed the
case to higher court where it is
now pending.
The second trial of Mrs. Billiard
has been continued once, lawyers
agreeing just before the close of last
session Of court that the calendar
was too crowded to place the young
wife on trial before the March term
which is just opening.
Billiard and his family charge that
Edwards, who had been close friend
of the injured man, had been in love
with Mrs. Billiard and that she had
returned his love. They planned he
charged to kill him while he slept.
Mrs. Billiard denied the charges
declaring that she had ever been a
true and faithful wife. Since her
arrest she has appealed for perma.
nent alimony, saying her health has
been broken by the strain and con.
finement and that she is now unable
to support herself. This appeal will
not be heard before the July term.

OF tho Boston Red Sox.
THE race Is MADE TO order for a
consistent club Of fair strength, since
all the favorites are erratic,
HNTERY few clubs have put over
V a sustained winnig streak this
year That Is unusual.
Certain clubs picked to win go

Then came the terrible reversal
