MARIETTA, GA.. THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 15, 1909,
By the County Commis
sioners at $25 per Day
and Board.
After the charge ot Judge Morrizs to
the last and present grand jury relative
to the re-examination of the books of
the county officers, that body recom
mended that the County Commisgion
ers employ an expert aunditor to make
the examination, and that Messrs, J. T.
Anderson, T. M. Brumby, Sr.,and J. D.
Perkerson, grand jurors, render assist
ance. °
In obedience to this recommendation,
the Commissioners last Wednesday
made a contract with the Alonzo Rich
ardson Auditing Company, of Atlanta,
to furnish two men at $25.00 per day
and board, to audit the books and ac
counts.
They are to begin work on May Ist.
It is not known how many weeks it will
require to do the work and make re
port, but we learn that Mr. Richardson
said he thought it would take him eight
weeks, or forty-eight days, to examine
the books, going back eight years.
Messrs. Attaway and Daniell went
back four years, taking them twenty
two days, at $5.00 per day each.
The Philathea class of the First Meth
odist church now has a membership of
thirty-nine and an average attendance
of about thirty. The rapid increase in
membership has made it necessary for
the class to have a larger room. This
necessitated an expense of about $5O,
which was kindly contributed by friends
of the clags, and the first meeting was
held in the nex quarters last Sunday.
The class is this week sending to the
orphan they are supporting at the De
catur Orphanage a nice box of spring
wearing apparel.

The Albany, Ga., Herald says:
*‘Sheriff F. G. Edwards yesterday sold
his Hughee place, 250 acres, two miles
southwest of town, to W. P. Mozley, of
Marietta, Ga. The new owner of this
land is not to take possession until De
cember next, Sheriff Edwards retain
ing its use for raising this season’s can
taloupes and other crops. The price
paid is $3,500, or $l4 per acre.
‘“The land sold by Sheriff Edwards
yesterday is the same on which he made
$6,000 profit in cantaloupes, corn, hay,
cotton, etc., last year, by means of in
tensive methods of farming. He has a
large acreage planted in early canta
loupes this year,
“The price paid for the land is con
sidered a bargain for the purchaser.
Sheriff Edwards has stated to friends
that he is desirous of ceasing farming
operations, which explains his motive
in selling.
“Sheriff Edwards purchaaed this land
several years ago, paying $2,500 for it. "’

' N SOME way the idea seems
to have gone abroad that
all drug stores are '‘just alike.”
Just why such an idea ever
prevailed seems strange to any
of us, when we stop to think.
Dry goods, groceries and other
lines run from good to bad.
Then why shouldn’t drugs and
drug stores?
It’s safe vo think and remem
