ship in the Acworth lodge have been
received to date, twenty-two of this
number being aspirants to the .rank
0 t Knighthood, while ten are Knights
who have been members of lodges m
other cities.
T he organization of the Acwoith
lodge was brought about as a conse
quence of the efforts of Mr. Walter
Akerman, of Cartersville, and Mr. J.
c Milam, of Marietta, brother to the
Chancellor Commander of the local
lodge, so the members of both the Car
tersville and Marietta lodges are equal

new lodge in Acworth, but the mem

he allowed the privilege of seeing the
team from the local lodge confer the
degree work.
CartefS'Ville Lodge, No. 42, Knights

the rnitve south.
The neighboring lodges of Cedar
town, Adairsville, Canton, Calhoun and
Rockmart were instituted by the Car
tersv'llle lodge.
The degree work is conferred by the
local lodge in Long Form, yet the
Blue Book has not been-used in these
exercises for the past twenty-one
years.
A most enjoyable time is predicted,
as most of the local K. of Ps. will wit
ness the installation ceremonies, or
take part in them, and the Marietta
lodge lias passed word to us that they
expect to attend in a body.
OBSERVANCE OF EASTER.
A feature of the observance of East
er by the Presbyterian church of Car
torsville last Sunday was the organ re
ntal and singing of the cantata, “He
Is Risen,” by the Presbyterian choir.
The entire service was devoted to
music. Mrs. H. P. Wonielsdorf played
a number r>f selections and lived quite
up to the expectations of all her
triends who know her talents in this
line.
It was through Mrs. Wonielsdorf s
influence also that the cantata was
undertaken and by her direction it
"as so well executed. The choir was
composed of Mrs. H. E. F. Jones, Miss
Merry, Mr. J. A. Miller and Mr. Jos.
S. Calhoun. Each and every part of the
■cantata was splendidly sung and any
praise which may be given to one
could just as truthfully be given to all
the rest.
It was a decided treat to lovers of
music in. Cartersville and gave all who
heard it positive proof that church
music here is of the very ; best.
In Honor of Mr-.,. Holcomb.
On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Ruohs
Pyron was home to a number of
friends in honor of Mrs Walt Hol
comb, ot Nashville.

and excellence of their dining car ser

work though they do not generally
confess it. It is said to he true, how
ever, that every railroad manager pos
sesses this "weakness and strong!)

BIDS OPENED FOR
NEINJST OFFICE
John W. Emery, of Phila
delphia, Is Possible Con
tractor of New Building.
Upon opening the bids for the Car- j
tersville ixistoffice, which was done j
at Washington, D. C., it was found
that John W. Emery, of Philadelphia,
had bid the lowest and will likely be
the contractor to erect the building.
Mr. Emery’s bid was $40,141 if the
building is to be constructed of lime
stone or $41,929 if built of sandstone.
This is well within the appropria
tion set apart for the construction of
the Cartersville postoffice and, unless
some other untoward circumstance
now takes place, it is altogether prob
able that the construction will be or
dered to go forward.
It is understood that this will be the
finest public building in this congres
sional district for cities of tilts size
and that the original bidding is the
highest made by any contractor who
secured the contract for the building
of the postoffice in any other town in
this district of our class.
The entire amount of the bid goes
to the construction of the building it
self, the government having no other
work to do in connection with its con
struction.
In some towns it is necessary for the
government to build a sewer and do a
lot of excavating and other things to
take money out, of the building, ihis
will not he so here. The city of Car
tersville having undertaken to care for
the sewerage of the building and there
being no other contingencies, to do (
away with, the entire sum will Ik- spent
on the building Itself.
Cartersville citizens jfre’enihn'stasftt;
over the apparent prospect of having
a creditable postoffice soon, and it is
probable that the contract will be
awarded and the building completed

TRIBUNE NEXT WEEK.
Next week’s issue of 1 lie Tribune
will be sent to every registered voter
of Bartow county.
The primary for the election of can
didates for county offices will take
i place exactly one week later.
Inasmuch as it has been and will be
impossible for the candidates to per
sonally see every voter of the county
the applicants would do well to take
space in this issue of The Tribune iu
order to let the people of the county
know .lust where they stand, the rea
sons they advance in their own behalf
to support their claims for office and
to address directly the voters of the
courtly.
To use space in newspapers is the
cheapest and most effective method
of campaigning. It. is the surest way
to reach all the voters. It is a method
whereby the candidate insures the vot
ei >y writing and over his signature
just what he intends to do and how
he expects to manage bis office, if
elected, and he can, at the same time,
talk to the voter through the columns
of The Tribune without depriving the
voter of time which he may want to
devote to something else.
The voter can read what the candi
date says in his own behalf at his leis
ure. He will have time to reflect upon
; all he has said and written. It is both
to candidate and voter the most con
venient and effective method of vou
getting. By personal campaigning there
is much .time lost. It is more expen
sive. The voter may be busy in his
field or at other labor. The candidate
ca take a whole page in The Tribune
for $12,90 and fully set forth all his
claims and be assured at the same
time that he is reaching every voter.
If he should undertake to do this by
circular letter to the 3,000 voters of
the county, it would require an expen
diture of $60.00 for postage alone, be
sides the printing, stationary and clerk
hire in mailing out.
Next Week's issue will be the last
before election day. The voters are
reading The Tribune and many hun
dreds will make up their minds with
in the last few days of the race and
after reading the claims of the candi
dates in next week’s paper.
Let the candidates prepare their last
appeal to the voters in terse, pointed

tion Prepare For Memo
rial Day.
The members of the Ladies’ Meraoi
ial Association of Cassville are now
making preparations for the suk&blo

plowing can be done by farmers in
their fields, w}ll be known as Work

ble appearance.
The ladies will serve to the workers’

If Saturday of this week can be de
voted to plowing, the next Saturday

the performance of this duty in mak
ing the cemetery attractive for Decor
ation Day, and the good women are
earnestly striving to have the ceme
tery appear better than ever before.,
Every man can take a part In this
work, if one cannot brt personally pres

to do the work which he gculd have
liana.
Too much in "praise caftnot, W*"siiS
about the women around Caseville
who f r so many years have z*ulou*ly
