REIII cut BUILDING
IS, ROW OCGUPitD
All Departments Brought
Together In New City
Hall.
During the past week the various
branches of the city government mov
ed to the newly finished city hall
building on the'corner of Erwin ami
Church streets.
The removal was accomplished with
out any ceremony hut it is planned to
have a welcome extended at a later
date and to furnish an opportunity to
inspect the new building when all de
partments are completely installed
and their offices furnished.
No city-in Georgia, of equal size,
can boast of a more creditable build
ing. It is commodious, comfortable,
architecturally designed to afford both
durability and beauty and supplies the
useful purpose of placing under one
roof every officer and department.
The main entrance is on Erwin
street, just across from the Sam Jones
Memorial Methodist church and court
house. On the same block is the new
postoffice. Thus within a few hundred
feet of each other are located four of
the principal architectural types of
public buildings of the city. On the
left as one enters the building is found
the office of the city treasurer, city
and tax collector, in which of
fice is the city’s vault or “strong box.”
The fixtures are in keeping with the
standard of the building.
On the right, as one enters, is the
office of the mayor. This office is
handsomely furnished -and is conven
iently located, both with regard to the
iy3eds of the mayor, as well as the
public who are in need of consulting
him.
Further back on the right of the hall
is the witness room, leading into the
mayor’s court room, where city of
fenses are tried. Leading up from the
witness room is a stairway to the city
detention station, on the second floor.
In the front of the building, on the
second lloor, is the council room,
where the city commissioners hold
their sessions. This room is handsome
ly furnished, and divided into two sec
tions, separated by a railing. At one
end of the room the commissioners
sit, while at the other ate comfortable*
seats for spectators and citizens having
matters to formally present to the
board.
The office of the superintendent of
public utilities is further back with an
exposure on Church street, and lead'
ing from this room also is a room in
which are kept various forms of ap
paratus for water, light ami gas tests,
as well as accessories needed by the
superintendent in the various depart
ments which he supervises.
The fire hall is in the rear part of
the building. The truck and other fire
fighting apparatus is on the ground
floor, while the firemen themselves
are comfortably housed on the floor
above, with a stairway leading to and
from. There is also a brass pole down
which the firemen can come when an
alarm is Sounded, and cots for them
a' night. A weii furbished bath room
i? attached, supplied with a shower
Lath, and other plumbing fixtures of
latest pattern.
One of the features of the building
is a ladies’ rest room on -the second
floor, a convenience greatly enhancing
the’ value of the building, and which
is suitably furnished to conform to,
modern plans of up to date public
buildings.
All told the building is one of the
handsomest in north Georgia and
greatly adds to the beauty of tbs in
terests about Cartersville. Within a
few days a concrete sidewalk will be
put down from the postoffice building
around to the Cherokee' Club, grass
will set out and the lot graded
that it will be a real beauty spot, suf
ficient to arouse the pride of all citi
zens, as well as attract the admiring
gaze of ail strangers.
NOTICE.
There will be services at the Episco
pal church Sunday morning, May 13,
at 11 o’clock. Everybody is Invited to
attend.

mothers are especially invited to come
adSd join in the service.
On next Sunday morning the Sunday
school and church services at the Sam

be given over to the observation of
Mother's Day.
The following clipping from the
Nashville Christian Advocate gives
the story of the origin of Mother's
Day which will be read with interest
by all:
MOTHER’S DAY. **
By BILLIE PIERSON.
“For many generations we have cel
ebrated Independence Day, Washing
ton's Birthday, Arbor Day, and May
Dav; we have paid the highest tributes
to Shakespeare and other geniuses,
but Only in the last three or four years
have we begun to acknowledge pub
licly the greatest heroine since the
world began—mother.
“Anne Jarvis, a Philadelphia girl,
originated the idea of Mother’s Day.
She was planning a memorial to her 1
own mother, who was dead, and
thought that to set aside one day in
the year in honor to all mothers would
heli overcome a lack of consideration
to parents among the youth of the
present generation. /
“In 1914 Preside|h Wilson appointed
the second Sunday in May as a nation
al day for this purpose; and every one’
is expected to wear a “white flower
for mother dead, bright , flower for
mother living.”
“And who is more deserving? Men
and women throughout history have
become famous through bravery, loy
alty, love, as poets, musicians, writ
ers, ministers, teachers; hut mother
possesses all of these talents. Wash
ington and Lincoln, were loyal to their
country, but they gave only them
selves; and many a mother, in her
loyalty to that same country, gave her
sons, whom she loved far better than
herself. J ,
“Perhaps you have heard great sing
ers, seen famous pictures, and read
the world’s best poems and hooks,
heard wonderful sermons; but has
any song sounded so sweet--as the lul
labies your mother used to sing, any
poetry or prose so genuinely, real as
her talks, or any sermon so forceful
as her silent, daily sermons of loving,
unselfish service?
“Thinking of how she has planned,
toiled, and cared for us, loved, shield
ed us, taking the thorns of life that
wc might, have the roses, dors one day
for her seem qnough? We can make
the entire year a mother’s day by just
stopping to think. • For the mother
whom we have with us a flower, a
word of appreciation, or just a smile
\fill mean more to her than we can
know. And for the mothers who have
finished their tasks and have gone to
the land of flowers we can live as.they
wished us to, and somehow' they wfii
know. Mothers understand ”
Mr. Logan and Mr. Pittman appoint
ed the following committee on Moth
er’s Day: Mrs. r glam P. J-mes, chair
man, Mrs. Thomas Lumpkin, Mrs.
Paul Gilreath. The committee has ap
pointed in turn a flow’er committee,

AMATEURS ID DELIGHT
PEAY GOING PUBLIC
An Attractive Performance
To Be Given By Local
Talent.
The amateur theatrical to he given
at thelopera house tonight by local
talent promises to be an qiffiit of great
social interest and the rehearsals guar
antee a highly enjoyable performance.
The performance centers around a
musical and farce comedy combined in
a double bill, several features of en
tertaining quality being interspersed.
Among these too much cannot be said
concerning the military drill by the
detachment of IT. S. Soldiers now
camped at Etowah river and Miss
Marylu Young’s kindergarten class.
These two attractions are themselves
worth the price of admission and won
derfully add to the performance to he
given.
Nearly forty young Relies and gen
tlemen, and young hoys and girls, will
lake part and the music, choruses,
vaudeville features, and thfi excellent
cast made up of Vartersville’s most
prominent and talented readers, as
well as the soldiers who take part,
will he sure to draw a crowded house.
The Cherokee Club is sponsoring the
entertainment, while the play is under
the direction of Mr. and Mt;s. T. L.
Nye, of Minneapolis, the proceeds go
ing *0 the club.
BEN C. GILREATH BUYS
VALUABLE PROPERTY.
I
Ben (’. Gilreath. during the past
week purchased from the Bank of .Car
tevsvillejhj building just vacated by
the city of Cartersville and which has
been used by the city for several
years as a city hall.
This is considered one of the most
valuable pieces'of central property in
the city. It fronts on the public square
and the improvements are modern and
tip to date. It was once used by the
Bank of Cartersville, but upon the ab
sorption by it of The Farmers-Mer
chants Bank the counting room of the
latter was taken and the building own
ed and occupied by it leased to the
city. Recently the new city hall was
completed and the city offlees have
been moved there.
Mr. Gilreath immediately after bis
purchase leased the ground floor to
the Thompson-Weinman Cos., and the
upper floor which will soon be vacated
by the latter company will he leased
ns offices.
It is believed that Mr. Gilreath will
eventually, as soon as the growth of
the city justifies it,, erept a modern
building in which he will inslall a fine
drug store hut for the present and as
long as conditions justify will let the
improvements as they now' exist stand.
Its location and value of the existing
improvements renders' the transaction
a good investment by Mr. Gilreath.
o'clock so the motheis may be sent
for to attend the services.
At eleven okfiock Mr. Logan will
speak to parents and children. All are
coidially invited to attend.
A cial invitation has been sent
; ■ the boys at Camp Etowah to attend
both the Sunday school and eleven
o'clock service.
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
It you have a gray-haired -mother
In the old home far away,
it down and write the letter
You put off from day to day.
Don’t wait until her weary steps
Roach heaven’s pearly gate,
But show her that you think_of her
Before it is too late.
If you have a tender message.
Or a loving word to say;
i :< 1 n’t wait ’till you forget it,
But whisper it today.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait,
Vo make your loved one happy
Before it is too late,
.The tender words unspoken,
The letters never sent, ,
The long-forgot’en messages,
The wealth of love unspent—
For these shine hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait;
Show- them that you care for them
Before it is tbo late.

Most Excellent Week’s.
Entertainment.
The Lincoln Chautauqua entertain
ment which begins next Thursday in
Cartersville will bring here a list of
speakers and lecturers and an array
cf entertaining talent, tooth musical
and educational, superior to that which
lias ever before entertained the people
of this county for a week.
The Chautauqua entertainment is
t ouched for au sponsored by the Y. M.
C. A. of Cartersville. From the season
ticket sales, of $2..10 for adults and
SI.OO for children under seventeen
years of age, the association gets
twenty per cent. So not alone is the
Chautauqua itself worthy and deserv
ing of universal patronage, but a por
tion of the proceeds goes to the or
ganization which needs to be encour
aged and built up and maintained in
this community.
Every lover of first class entertain
ment, either in the form of oratory
and lectures m ioi music, .vocal and
instrumental, should by all means take
advantage of the opportunity which
will be offered when the Chautauqua
programs of eafih day will he present
ed. Every afternoon and night will be j
offered a program of hand and orehe-:-
t rai music as well as drama, music
and mirth. There will be famous ora
tors, noted humorists and scientific
lecturers, and during the entertain
ment a grand patriotic pageant The
Chautauqua begins May 17th and lasts
through the 23d, with a special in
spirational program on Sunday.
Among the features which are en
titled to special praise is the famous
Brooks Concert Band. The program of
this baud will he as- varied as the
tastes of the audience may demand,
ranging all the way from ragtime to
grand opera, but abounding with lib
eral patriotic numbers and novelties.
In addition to the concert selections
will lie solos and duets and other spec
ial enjoyable numbers. It is said that
the Brooks band rendition of “Dixie”
is the finest musical interpretation of
the stirring wartime march rendered
by any band today. It is an exceed
ingly large one containing both hand
and orchestral pieces.
The Hippie Orchestra UK in charge
of Ralph Hippie, witose wonderful per
formances on the xylophone carries a
charm and an appeal. Mr. Hippie also
plays on bells and thrills his audience
with the quality of echoes which he
brings out of the specially constructed
bells which respond to his touch. The
oichestra contains a violinist and oth-
er masters of stringed instruments
and will be an altogether enjoyable
feature of the week’s entertainnient.
Included in the list of Lincoln Chau
tauqua entertainers are Vice-Presi
dent Thomas Jt. Marshall, and Card.
Richard Pearson Hobson
mac fame, Ira Landritb, recce; n
liitlmi candidate for vP ;> . ; i\
Robett Perry-Shepherd, of Texas, and
Ralph Parlctte. Jn the event Vice-
President Marshall cannot g<>t away
from his official duties di Washington
at this time, due to the consideration
of congress of the important ,avar
measures, someone of equal fame aid
renown will take his place, possibly
Ex-President Taft.
In other words, the Chautauqua is in
all respects a superior organization
engaging known superior# talent along
whatever line it presents in the way
of entertaining, and thte people of the
county should turn out in such num
bers as to pack the tent at each per
formance. By doing so, they will them
selves be profitted as well as through
the purchase of season tickets help
the V. M. C. A., a most worthy organ
ization.

Many Cartersville young men who

QUL ——■
SIX CREAK JAIL
AND.YET AT LARGE
I
Walls Too Fragile to Hold
Inmates Who Want
Liberty.
On last Saturday night six county
prisoners broke jail and are yet at
large.
It was a very simple and easy task
for them, since all that was necessary
was to loosen one brick on the inside
of their cell wall when an entire va
cant space could be found and then to
push out a brick on the outer wall. In
other words, the jail wall consists of
two layers of brick, one thickness of
brick on the inside wall, a vacant
space of about a foot or eighteen
inches, and then another thickness of
one brick on the outside. Such is our
jail.
Three of the- prisoners were cap
tured on Sunday and again placed in
jail, and again on Sunday night
promptly got out again/ Sheriff Cala
wav thereupon temporarily borrowed
Mayes Grocery Company’s barn and
is putting the prisoners in this barn.
In the meantime, the Mayes Grocery
Company have had need for their barn
and are anxious to have Sheriff Cala
way use some other building or shed
for the purpose.
Tliose whojhave seen the manner of
construction as applied in the old jail
are convinced that most anything
would do as w-ell as it. One interested
citizen suggested that a tent be pur
chased by the county. Mr. C. S. Mayes,
who wants to get the entire stall space
of his barn for his own use in stabling
his stock, has volunteered to let Mjr.
Gala way have a number of cabbage
crates /in which prisoners could be
confined.
At any yrate, the latest jail break
furnishes an added reason why the
county should undertake the construc
tion of anew jail. In addition to its
unhygienic character and bad arrange
ment. the present jail really furnishes
no security at all against outbreak and
all {irisoners captured by the sheriff’s
forces might just as well he placed in
the county fair grounds, surrounded
by an eight foot fence, so far as hold
ing prisoners and confining them are
concerned. The sheriff is of the opin
ion that the only one3 who can be
safely kept in the old jail are ladies
with delicate hands and even these
should not be allowed to take knitting
needles in as these appliances would
be sufficient to enable them to make
their escape.
FIRST CALL TO WIN.
'’Every individual can become an inf
pcrlant factor in winning the great
conflict our government has been
forced to enter. History shows that
every important war of the .world has
been w-on through sacrifice and, thrift.
Sacrifice does not mean giving of
life and posses-ions only, but the sur
endering of ease and leisure heroic
ally to the increase of materials arid
food that will he required.
Saving in every way is important.
The Bank of Cartersville announces
in this issue, that they will take sub
scriptions for auy individual for the
purchase and investment in the new
government “Liberty' LTrSn Bonds.”
They will allow /-on to purchase, by
making an initial- payment, allowing
you to pay ihe remainder in regular
monthly installments until your bond
irpaid for.
Become the owner of a Liberty Loan
Bond.
It isn't a question of rate of inter
est, but the importance of being one
who is making a sacrifice and saving
to help patriotically in the financing
of our government.
