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. THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS CARTERSVILLE, GA.* MAY l(), 1917 TAME 10 GE ; PAID MOTHERS OR SURDAY Methodist Church Will Ap propriately Observe the Day. Mother’s Day to he observed at the Sam Jones Memorial Methodist chuhch next* Sunday, May 18. All mothers and -those who would pay a tribute of loving thought to their mothers are especially invited to come adSd join in the service. On next Sunday morning the Sunday school and church services at the Sam Jones Memorial Methodist church will 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many Cartersville young men who have stood examination at Atlanta to join the United States officers train ing camp are anxiously awaiting news of their acceptance. To date Joel Fite, sen of Judge A. W. Fite, has been ac cepted, but notices are vet being sent 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. ; PUBLIC WORKING TO BE AT CASSVILLE CEMETERY.
