NEWLY ELECIEI) OFFICERS
30110 BE INSTALLED
Long List of Officials Who
Fake Their Terms For
*
Four Years.
In happy anticipation of going into office for
terms of four years, under the recently enacted
statute extending the term of county officers from
two to four years, the prospective officers are now
qualifying through giving their bonds, taking siToh
oaths as are required and receiving their commis
sions.
The office of sheriff will continue to be held
by Bartow county's present genial officer, Wofford
W. Calaway, who will have as deputies R. A.
K:tks and Thomas Price.
The clerkship of the superior court will con-
KnT.e to, be held by W. C. Walton, who has made
an enviable record in the office for several years.
His deputies will be Capt. Bob Anderson, of Gar
tersville, Charlie Maxwell, of Adairsville, and
Arthur JeUy, cf Kingston.
The office of ordinary has been tilled to the
satisfaction'of the people of Bartow county many
times by Judge G. W. Hendricks, who was re-elect
ed for the new term by a large majority.
The office.of tax collector will, be filled byTfcat
Donahoo, who miade a run away race for the office
in the April primaries and was, of course elected
in November. It is understood that Mr. Donahoo
will _the ~a,kl of„Mr. Tom Jolly, of.
Kingston. p . , ..
Theoffice of tax receiver will be tilled ns fqr
the past two years by John C. Haney, Who was
re-elected. Mr. Haney has made a very satisfactory
officer and "Hi s' "accommodating spirit and efficient
handling of the affairs of the office have proved
very satisfactory.
The "office of county school superintendent is
to be filled by Prof. Jesse W. .Jackson, of Cass
vilte. Mr. Jackson was chosen by the citizens of
this-' county by an overwhelming majority to as
sume the duties of this responsible position and
his t'rieiids are confident that he will give a good
account of his stewardship.
The offices of coroner and county engineer
will be tilled as heretofore through several terms
by W. J. Ingram and W. W. Phillips. Both officers
have made records for efficiency which have en
titled them to endorsement by the people.
The new board of county commissioners also
undertake the handling of Bartow county’s af
fairs for a term of four years. This is considered
about the wisest move that has been made inas
much as county commissioners within the short
term of two years are not able to do work all over
the county and, hence, the sections of the county
failing to get work done within two years express
dissatisfaction at polls and often defeat good
and worthy officials who have simply been unable
to spread themselves out over the entire territory
within so short a length of time. Now that so ex
ccllent a board of commissioners has been elected
for a term of four years, it is believed that every
section of the county will within that length of
time experience permanent work of a lasting
character done and be ready to accord a vote of
confidence should members of the board who have
H3.de progressive records seek re-election.
All these officers enter upon their nbw duties
January Ist.
At the same tim,e Malcolm C. Tarver assumes
the office of judge of the Cherokee circuit, to
which office he was elceted by the voters' of Dade,
Catoosa. Whitfield, Murray, Gordon and Bartow
counties in the primaries last September and later
chosen in the regular election in November. He
succeeds Judge A. W. Fite.
Hon. J. M. Lang succeeds himself as solicitor
general of the Cherokee circuit, having been elect
ed by .a large majority for another- term of four
years. .

So weyfeel close thf you at, this time. We want*

even though vyeaklvi Some part of the appreciation
you have given to u$ through the year. For we believe
Appreciation is the salt that savors the work of the
world and keeps it from going sad and stale.
Also, this is a time of life-reviewing and love
getting and ideal-resolving. And we confess to our
human mold and make-up. We have made mistakes;
but we did not plan them out. They just came. So
itjComes that we resolve to do bigger and better things
for the year to come. For we know that in so doing
we shall flood new rivers of usefulness and happi
ness —YOUR way.
Then, perhaps, we may become a better and
greater part of that great cymposite which is this

You have been a part of us, for which we are
* thankful. In return, we are hoping that the coming
year we may be more of a contribution to that com

BUY RED CROSS SEALS
FROM CHEROKEE CLUB.
The active work being done by the
members of the Chenokee Club in the
sale of Red Cross seals has resulted
in the realization of the proceeds of
:i,600 seals, which is regarded as be
•T.g a very good record up to this date.
Sales will be continued up until
Christmas and through well organized
and systematic efforts a campaign has
been carried on and will b continued
until quite a neat sum of money wil!
lie realized for one of tile best of pur
poses, the stamping out of tuberculo
sis in America. As heretofore an
nounced, one-half of the proceeds of
the saLe.of seals made at this place
will this year be kept in Cartersville,
the sales heretofore being sent to
headquarters in Atlanta and distribut
ed throughout th 6 state.
Next week the different chairmen
with their committees will be announc
ed and the complete work of the cam
paign will be given.

HIGHWAY TO KINGSTON*
COMMEIGED LUST WEEK
Link Of Dixie Highway To
Bea Reality Within
Few Months.
.
The Cartersville-Kingston road, forming a sec
tion of the Dixie Highway, was taken tip by the
road forces last week and with J. B. Jenkins in
charge active work was begun o build this mad
tip to the standard set for good highways in this
county.
This means that this road will be reconstruct*
id from Cartersville to Kingston and thence on to
the Fisyd county line, and that it will be a high
v> ay second to none in Bartow county.
The people of Kingston, as weiF as: Cas&ville,
and all whjo live adjacent to this road ’and the
great number of tourists who travel it, will soon
have reason to sing “this is the way I long have
sought, and mourned because I found .it not,” for
these earnest citizens have tinie and again urged
its com: r ruction and have set forth the many ad
vantages to follow its completion as a first class
highway. , |
No, road, in Bartow county will serve a greater ;
population, nor so many tourist-:,. Designated as a
■section c-f the Dixie Highway last year, it is ;
a greatly traveled road. A.s this great eppstru
from the to thf Gulf is to be one of Amer
ica’s Apptan ways, it is important thaA Bartow
40 Jier port toward putting in condition,
paqlt .1 ■ if-- W
Oh -fihio-i-ofd are some ..of the finest farms in
the ocvWi’hn;while here and there are mauy points:
yi" ifebbriEi. fla^svilla is rich with historical a ;-o
-chai-kßip, vihi£/Kingston reveiqnjlly preserves many ,
i'■ mc ' v“ heroism, of ro.mauce and of a bygone civ
ii.zftfi.n. Just out of Carters-Villle is one of the i
.-outbV greatest cotton 'mills, the plant of the J
,'.nii ricH’.i Textile - Cos. As the tourist comes in to 9
C-ai:er;viiu he is attracted by the stately homes, j
among which is that of a citizen who in life ac- -|
qomplished so much for the cause of religion, and
to m per a nee, the late Rev. Sam l*. Jones, and when- j
over Cartersville is reached the traveler always
wants to know where the famous evangelist lived. |
Built into Cartersville this road will enable :
the tourist to travel through the county on what j|
will perhaps be the best section of highway be
tween Atlanta and Chattanooga. The i<*ad from
Cobb county to Cartersville is now regarded as i
the best and when it is extended north of Carters- |
viHe to Cassville where it will intersect that f
branch of the highway following the Johnston.- ij
Sherman march to Chattanooga, or on to Kingston j
and Floyd county into Rome, oi the Berry School. 1
Shorter College and many otheT points of interest, |
this road will rival in interest any part of the 1
Dixie Highway from Florida to notthern Michigan, j|
The work will now be pushed to>a completion. I
A unifor m width of thirty feet will be maintained, |
all steep grades eliminated and all sharp angles 1
cut out. J. B. Jenkins will be the superintendent of 1
construction and in charge of the convict labor I
and foreman of Camp No. 1, which camp has built 1
some of the best roads in this county to be found !
anywhere in Georgia.
By next spring or summer the work will- be a I
finished product of fine highway construction and m
and the people of the county are interested in its I
completion at the earliest possible moment, cca- |
sistent. with what is to be. made out of it.
The Dixie Highway Commissioners will be -of- |
1 daily Informed that work on this link of the !
great highway has been undertaken and leave i

commissioners have heretofore decreed that this 1
