ing Fought by Class
Teams of Sun. School

Quite a bit of friendly rivalry ex-
lists between the three teams of the
Mems Bible Class of the First Pres
byterian church in regard to the at
tendance. At the present the red
team, headed by Mr.. A. v. Cortelyou
is leading the Blue Team headed by
Mr.. J. w. Petty, ST., by the small
margin of three points. Both cap
tains are working furiously to have
their teams out 100 per cent strong
next Sunday when the first lap of
the three month race ends.
The class is taught by Judge Sam
uel H. Sibley, of the United States
Federal Court. Judge Sibley is rated
as one of the best bible authorities
in the entire country. Marietta men
are afforded a great privilege to hear
ths discourses Of this prominent iur-
list every Sunday. Any man in Ma
rietta is cordially invited to attend
the class sessions which meet at $3.50
in the Sunday school room of the
First Presbyterian church.

Exceptional Bargains to Be Of
fered by Marietta Mer-
chants on May 5

Marietta merchants will observe
the third monthly Golden Rule Sales
Day" here Monday, May 5. Accord
ing to those in charge this day will
surpass the two previous ones in all
respects.
The committee in charge of ar
rangements announces that the mer-
chants are going to offer exception

disc this month. The two past sales
days proved to be a great success
from every angle.

two bargains in some seasonable mer-

much to you.

die and spurs worn by his grandfath-
er, John Tate, in the Civil War. Mr..

Sunday Proved to
Be Ideal Day For
An Easter Parade

The weather man was gracious to
Marietta folks Easter and kept old
Sol out the entire time. Sunday was
an ideal day for the annual Easter
fashion parade and Marietta folks
did themselves proud.
Marietta merchants reported the
Easter sales this year the largest in
several years. This means that the
county is more prosperous and that
the people are beginning to trade
with the local merchants more than
formerly. Both signs are welcomed.
Special services were observed in
all churches. The attendance at all
were exceptionally large.

Expert Landscape
Gardener to Plant
Shrubbery in Park

The band stand has been moved to
ito permanent position on the north
west side of the park and will be
completely renovated, according to
Councilman Len Baldwin, the origi-
nator of the 'Park Beautiful idea.
The paving of the walks will be
completed this week and work will
start on grading and filing in the
sections of the park so that all will
be level with the walks. After this
has been completed a landscape gar
dener from Atlanta will come out and
plot out the location of the different
strawberries.
The northwest side where the band
stand originally stood will be devoted
into a children's play ground. Clean
white sand will be hauled in so that
the little tots can play to their hearts
content. Some play ground equip
ment will also be put in this plot.
Work on the American Legion me-
mortal should be completed by the
latter part of May and the erection
should not take longer than a week.
Councilman Baldwin hopes to have
everything in tip-top shape by the
middle of June. Then Marietta will
have the prettiest park in the state.

HOTEL OPERATOR
OFFERS TO LEASE
MARIETTA HOTEL
Steering Committee for Campaign
Holds Frequent Meetings;
Making Good Progress

The Steering Committee, which is
the central committee of the big ex-
ecutive committee that has been or
ganized to head up the campaign for
Marietta's New Hotel is doing a lot
of careful work in laying the plans
for successful campaign for Mari
etta's New Hotel, soon to be. The
ESteering Committee, made up as fol-
lows: Jas. T. Anderson, r. w.
Northcutt, P. B. Latimer, Judge N.
A. Morris, M. d. Hodges and H. G.
Conway, through their persistent la
bors is bringing things around in fine
shape, so that the larger committee,
the names of which was published in
this paper last week under the head
of sthe Executive Committee" will
soon be launched on a quiet campaign
to sell large blocks Of stock for the
new hotel.
| According to the plan, this quiet
campaign will precede an intensive
drive IN which everybody will be ex-
pected to participate at least to the
extent of buying some shares of stock
in the new hotel company.
A very important development has
just been brought about by the Steer
ing Committee in the securing Of
definite proposition from a well
known and experienced hotel opera
tor to lease the new hotel.
The Chamber Of Commerce secre-
|tary, Mr. G. Parker Mcdaniel. has.
up to date, received eighteen appli-
cations for information about the
new hotel from operators who ex-
pressed an interest in securing a
lease when the hotel is completed.
From among these applications the
committee has selected one, who be-
cause he has for a long time past
been successful hotel operator in a
neighboring southern state, Mr.. J. L.
Alexander, who operates the Otteray
Hotel at Greenville, S. c., and who
has recently leased new one hun
dred and fifty room hotel that is now
being built in Wilmington, N. C. At
ter some correspondence with Mr..
Alexander, the committee has re-
ceived definite proposition from him
to lease the new hotel on a fixed rem
tai basis for period of at least ten
years, which will insure the hotel
company minimum annual income
of 8 per cent net on the total amount
of money involved in the site, financ-
ing, building and furnishing the new
hotel
This proposition, which is put into
written form, so that it can be acted
upon after the stock has been sold,
and the hotel company has been in
corporated, is regarded by the Steer
ing Committee and by the Executive
Committee as being of the utmost
Importance. It settles beyond doubt
question that may have been in the
minds of some Of our people as to
whether the new hotel, when it is
built, could really be rented on ba-
sis that would insure a fixed steady
income that would warrant the pay
ment of regular dividend on the
stock that is to be sold.
The statement is given out by the
general campaign chairman, R. w.
Northcutt, that he and his associate
chairman, P. B. Latimer, are making
satisfactory progress in lining up the
leaders that will help to complete the
large citizens sales force in time for
the Intensive Drive which will be
launched early in May.

JUNE BUTTER BUSINESS GOOD

SSAS6 IL A6N DOoANE0o 1OOD
Records of June shipments and
eggs as compiled by A. j. Mcclure,
manager of the Minnesota Cooper
alive Creameries Association, shows
a steady volume Of business for the
month.
The New York office of the Asso-
citation handled 2O3 cars, or 5,6O7,-
068 pounds of butter and 1921 cases
of eggs; the Philadelphia office %
carloads, or 683,098 pounds of
butter; and the Chicago office 16
cars Of butter.
The st. Paul office of the Asso-
citation received during the month
157 cars of butter, consisting of 3d.
600 pounds to the car. Of this num-
Der III cars were shipped to points
outside New York and Philadelphia.
1t is significant that theses hipments
We're distributed from Buffalo, New,
York, to Jacksonville, Florida.
"We cannot too strongly impress
upon our membership" said Mr..
Mcclure, "the good results which we
have secured by diverting as many
cars of butter as possible from the
New York market, thereby tighten
ing the receipts in that market, in
creasing the price which we receive
for the butter we do ship there, and,
incidentally, expanding the general
market for Minnesota butter"
