The chicken and fowl ordinance re cently passed by the board of alder men is a step in the direction of help ing those who want to have a good garden and thereby reduce the H. C. of L. Now Mr. “Chicken Fancier ” won’t you be kind enough to look after your fence and know that it is chicken-proof and by so doing save yourself embar rassment ad your neighbor’s garden from destruction? The city officials intend to enforce this ordinance, which reads as follows: "There has been much complaint on the part of citizens regarding the run ning at large of fowls and the damage and annoyance from this source These complaints are becoming more numer ous, the demand for relief more insist ent, and cannot be disregarded in jus tice to the complainants as well as oth ers who are suffering in silence from the same causp. “Therefore, recognizing the right of these citizens to have the pactice stopped, the - following ordinance is adopted: "An Ordinance to prohibit the running at large of chickens and other fowls in the city of Cartersville.

A Full Carload Of Pure-Bred Hogs Shipped From Bartow We progress very often and do not realize It. Last week an expert hog man came into Bartow with an cdcr to buy and ship north 550 pure-bred Berkshire sows. This genial expert was none other than Mr. L. E. Frost, of Chicago, who not only shares the confidence and respect of ail the great breeder but is a man who attends all the sales and conventions that carry him often into every state In the Union. For three days he drove over the county with our county agent, Mr. Cox. trying to fill as much of his order as possible, and did secure one carload for which he paid over $4,000 here and theie, to tin.- pig cub boy and this farmer. These hogs will be loaded and shipped from Cartersville Monday, May 3. And they go to Indiana. A few years back, when the pure-bred effort was made by Mr. Pyron and the bank and boys in pig club work, who dreamed that in ;o short a time our hoys would be receiving money from the North? This is not only encouraging, but The Tribune man wants to know why did the earnest stranger get only fifty hogs when he wanted just 500 more? Mr. Cox says it is because the boys and OSCAR T. PEEPLES SELLS INTEREST TO FLEETWOOD An Interesting Business Announcement Made by Gentleman Who Has Successfully Ope rated The Tribune- News. To the Public: With this issue of The Tri bune-News ends my owner ship and material interest in the Tribune Publishing Com pany, having sold my stock to Mr. M. L. Fleetwood, who thereby acquires the entire ownership in the stock of the company. But my good wish es, and my hope for contin ued success and for undimin ished usefulness of the paper to the city and county, con tinues unabated. I feei sure that these expectations will be realized. 1 have every confidence in Mr. Fleetwood’s ability, energy and newspa per skill and uprightness of character, and these things insure newspaper service. Mr. Fleetwood comes into the possession of a valuable newspaper property. It is published in a great county. It has been devoted to the best interests of the people.

The heart of The Tribune has al ways been right, whatever men riiay have thought of its judgment, and as usual, when it came to be known that its heart was in the right place and its purpose an open, its influence grew and its works told, until today it holds the field. I would not have sold my interest in The Tribune to Mr. Fleetwood, did I not feel the utmost confidence in his purpose to continue to sierve the public in the future with as much zeal as its past man agement has sought to serve. I earnestly ask my friends to furnish Mr. Fleetwood that which they furnished me throughout my newspa per association—liberal pat ronage, earnest encourage ment and loyal support of every kind.

OVER TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS RAISED AT MEETING HELD IN CARTERSVILLE ON TUESDAY-CANVASSERS TO GET BUSY Warren Dodd Starts List With Liberal Subscription, and Rep resentative Farmers and Business Men Pledge Their Sup t port to Building the Warehouse, Which Will Save Hun dreds of Thousands of Dollars Yearly to Citizens of Bar tow County. The erection in the very near future of a bonded ware house, built strictly according to government specifications, and which will have a capacity the first season of storing five thousand bales of cotton, will very likely result from the en thusiastic spirit manifested at the mass meeting held last Tues day afternoon at the court house, and which was called to learn definitely the attitude of the citizens of Bartow county toward such a project. The meeting, which was called to order by Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun, on behalf of the committee w’hieh has been consider ing the matter, elected Mr. Henry Milam chairman, and Mr. Hugh Gilreath, secretary. Both these gentlemen, who are rated among the best farmers and business men of Bartow county, are enthusiastically be hind the movement, and they have given untiringly of their time and talents, assisting the committee in gathering the data, which was presented at this meeting. Need Is Realized Mr. Calhoun outlined In a very con cise and clerucut manner the workings of a government bonded warehouse, and his remarks were closely listened to, because ho is regarded as a con servative banker and business man, and one altogether capable of advising on such matters. He heartily endorsed the plan, and stated he believed a warehouse could be financed and built. If its manifold benefits were thoroughly understood by thh farmers and busi ness men. Mr Milam and Mr. Pyron also spoke, endorsing the plan and stating they be lieved it was one of the most vilal and important undertaking attempted for this section lit a generation. Mr. Pyron presented in detail inter esting plans for the erection of such a warehouse as is proposed, and gave some specific information, showing that bonded warehouses, erected in other sections of the country, had not only proven q paying investment for those who had financed them but the finan cial benefits which had accrued a* a result of the building of these ware houses had been incalculable in many waysi both to the cotton growers as well as the communities which they served. After the matter had been thoroughly discussed, the question was put to those present as to whether they really wanted a warehouse, and would sub scribe their part of the capital stock. Almost as a unit the meeting endorsed the move, and then the taking of sub scr ptions was opened. Mr. Warren Dodd, recognized all over the county as being not only a mighty good farmer, hut a substantial business man as well, was the first to subscribe, and authorized the secretary to enter a subscription of $1,500. Mr. Jim Gilreath, for J. H. Gilreath & Son, subscribed $1,000; Mr. R. Pyron, $1,000; Mr. Joel Hurt, Jr., $1,000; Mr. H. C. .Stiles, Mr. Henry Milam, l>r. R. E. Adair. Mr. C. S. Cox, Mr. J. W. Vaughan Mr. Jos. S. Calhoun, Mr. Ed Strick land, Jr., each subscribed $500; Mr. J. F. Padgett and Mr. A. H. Pittman, $250 each; Mr. R. B. Satterfield, Mr. W. C. Walton and a number of others SIOO each. All these gentlemen stated they heartily favored the plan, and pledged themselves to present the matter to their friends and business associates, believing that the subscriptions neces sary before actual building operations can be started tvi!! he raised. The committee which has handled the matter heretofore was continued in charge f the arrangements, and after the mass meeting had adjourned ini mediately started working on plans to solicit subscriptions by going directly to every individual in the town and county. The fact is stressed that the building of a bonded warehouse is an absolute necessity, and that it will benefit ail interests. As Mr. Dodd stated, ever dollar subscribed could well be donat to such an undertaking, but, as he pointed out, it is a gilt-edged invest ment and one that will not only pay a fair dividend from the start, but will benefit the entire citizenry in many substantial ways. The assistance of the Cartersville Chamber of Commerce was ofTered by Mr. George Woodrow, the very efficient secretary, and he, working in conjunc tion with the executive committee, has entered actively into the work of se curing subscriptions for building a bonded warehouse at once. The committee believes that it will receive such united support from citi zens in all walks of life that it can soon announce very substantial progress in its work of perfecting plans for build ing the warehouse in time for storing cotton of this year’s crop. But this fact cannot be too strongly stressed: It is a big proposition, and 12 PAGES TOPA v *2.50 The Year one that demands subHt&ntlal stock subscriptions, and that very quickly.
