Financial Statement of Cobb
County, for the Year 1918
_We present herewith a statement of the county finances made
ug in the commissioner's office covering the period of March Ist,
1918, to date. :
By making a reasonable estimate of the expenses for the rest
of the year, we find that the net indebtedness of the county will
have been very greatly reduced by the first of 1919. '
It will be necessary for the county to borrow some money, how
ever, to put the expenditures for the coming year on a cash basis,
but the showing is a creditable one.

THANKSGIVING SERVIGE
AT THE PRESBYTERIAN
Again this year the Presbyterians
will hold their Thanksgiving service
at seven o’clock in the morning. Of
all the years in the history of our
country so many reasons never exist
ed for giving thanks as this year.
One year ago our people were pre
paring for war, today they are pre
paring for peace. Last year the
slaughter and carnage of battle held
full sway, and today the representa
tives of the people are arranging a
conference to form a league of na
tions which shall forever banish the
possibility of another great war.
In our own land the harvests have
been bountiful, and no one shall live
in want, and no one shall suffer of
hunger. The Lord has surely blessed
us beyond all the peoples of the
earth.
It is fitting that the whole people
should thus assemble themselves to
gether, and offer up prayer and
thanksgiving to the Lord of Hosts
who has brought them out of a time
of sorrow and danger in the sunshine
of peace and plenty.
It is urgently desired that a full
and prompt attendance of the con
gregation be had at seven o’clock on
next Thursday morning, and in addi
tion to the service of prayer and
praise, the following service of giv
ing is asked. ‘
1t is the fixed duty of God's peo
ple to care for the motherless and
fatherless children of our land. He
who heeds not the orphans’ cry is no
child of God.
It is proposed to take the usual
money offering, at this Thanksgiving
morning service, for the Thornwell
Orphanage, and in addition this year
a cereal offering will be taken.
You are asked to bring a pack
age of one of three cereals (namely:
grits, rice and oatflakes) with you to
the morning service, and after the
service these will be packed and
shipped to the orphans.
After this service it is proposed
that as many of the men of the church
as can possibly do so, drive in cars
to Euharlee church in Bartow coun
ty, about 8 miles west of Carters
ville, to attend a laymens’ meeting.
It is arranged that this meeting
will convene at 10 o’clock and close
at 4 o’clock, dinner being prepared
on the grounds for all. It is ex
pected that all the churches in the
lower part of Cherokee Presbytery,
be represented in this great meeting
by as many laymen as can get there.
It will be a great gathering, one
that you will long remember, one
that vou should not miss.
Dr. Patton has appointed a com
mittee who will provide room in cars
for all to leave the Church in Mari
etta immediately after the seven
o’clock service Thursday morning,
and he urges every man who can do
so to be ready to go at that time.
A like meeting will be held at
LaFayette in the upper end of the
Presbytery; let us make the Euharlee
meeting surpass all others.
The committee appointed to ar
range about transportation is C. E.
Daniell, chairman; J. W. Legg, R. M.
Wade, A. V. Cortelyou, and J. Wil
der Glover, and Dr. Patton asks all
those who will go to report their
names as soon as possible to some
member of this committee. *

FARMERS’ NATIONAL CONGRESS
OF BOTH MEN AND WOMEN
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 21.—1 n
conjunction with the Farmers’ Natio
nal Congress, which will be held De
cember 3-6, the National Farm Wo
men’s Congress will be held and re
ports from throughout the country
show that a very large number of
women will be present. Most of the
delegates will bring their wives, which
will give them the opportunity also
to see a most interesting portion of
Florida and Jacksonville.
Mrs. Howard W. Dexter, the Gen
eral Chairman of the Women’s Auxi
liary, has appointed several commit-‘
tees to look after the entertainment;
for the women visitors. These in
clude a drive to all the interesting
points around Jacksonville, also a
unique cabaret and many other at
tractions. The Women’s Division will
have its headquarters in the Cham
ber of Commerce, where Jacksonville
women will attend to all details
looking to the comfort and pleasure
ot their visitors while in the city.
There are a great many things to
be discussed during the coming event
which will be of particular interest to
the women of the United States, and
especially to those who are vitally
concerned in the welfare of the home.
There is every indication that a
large number of the nation’s most
distinguished women will be pres
ent, because of the character of the
meeting, and the opportunity afford
ed to see Jacksonville and Florida,
including the State Fair, which will
be open and in full operation during
the sessions of the Congress, where
some of the big events of the latter
will be staged. The Jacksonville wo
men are well organized to give a gen
uine southern welcome to the women,
who will attend the coming Congress.

relatives. She was Miss Nellie Moz
ley, and was reared in Marietta,
where she had many friends.
She was a member of the First
Baptist church here.
COTTON GINNING EARLIER
There seems to be no doubt that
the cotton season is more advanced
than last year, and also that the
farmers have ginned more rapidly.
The ginning reports to November
Ist, 1917, only showed 5102 bales
while the reports for this year show
10402 bales, or twice as many as
last year.
The crop this year is larger than
last, but not nearly enough to ac
count for this big difference shown
in the ginning reports:
The above figures are official ob
tained from Mr. John H. McElreath,
who is cotton enumerator for the
county.
SERVICES AT MIDWAY l
+'The annual Thanksgiving services
will be held at Midway on November‘
28th,. The Rev. Mr. Campbell, of|
Marieta, will preach at 11 o'clock.
Fverybody is invited.- This certainly
is a time the people should feel
thankful and attend service.

During the four years of Dr.
Smith’s pastorate here, he gained the
lcve and esteem, not only of his own
people, but of the entire community.
1t is with deepest regret that the peo
ple of Marietta give up Dr. Smith
and his family. He had been not
only performing his duties as a pas
tor, but was closely associated with
many of our war committees, and
helped to work out success in these
matters. We heartily commend Dr.
Smith and his most excellent family
to the good people of Milledgeville,
regardless of denomination.
Mr. Hamby, who succeeds Dr.
Smith here, was Presiding Elder of
the Augusta District, before his pas
torate at Carrollton, and we extend
to him, in the name of the people of
Marietta, a most cordial welcome to
his church and to the homes of the
people.
