On account of the city laws gov
erning the election which makes it.
necessary to use the registration ]ist‘
of the last election, approximately
150 names are on the list who havel
died, or moved away, and will notl
vote Tuesday. This will make it
necessary to bring out every eligible
vote for bonds if the election is to
carry.
Those who stay away will further
increase the burden of carrying
bonds. Not to vote in the election
counts almost as much against bonds
as to go to the polls and vote against
them. A majority of the registra
tion must cast a ballot For Bonds.
Although the women cannot legal
ly vote in the election for bonds on
acecount of not being registered for
the last election, arrangements will
be made to receive their votes in a
straw ballot which will be held near
the official election. It is very much
desired that the women of Marietta
be given a chance to express them
selves on the paving question and
this plan will also give them an op
portunity to familiarize themselves
with the customs of voting. Every
woman in Marietta, twenty-one andi
above, will be eligible to.vote in the‘
straw ballot and is urged to come
out and express her wishes on elec
tion day. It is the regret of the
town that they are prevented from
voting in the election because of an
unfortunate paragraph in the city
charter.
Automobiles will be furnished all
those who wish to come to the polls
both women and men, and Mr. Guy
Northcutt and Mr. E, L. Robertson
will have charge of this service.
Let every man and woman in Ma
rietta come to the polls Tuesday and
Make April 12 a red leter day for
Marietta.

UNION SOLDIER VISITS
MARIETTA BATTLEFIELD
Was Wounded June 19, 1864 Near
/ Kennesaw Mountain |
/ Imprisoned Here.
An interesting visitor came into
the Journal office Wednesday morn
ing and very briefly and modestly
told of his former visit to. Marietta
in 1864. Though he says he was
cordially received this“trip by his
friends who live near here, he ad
mits the reception in 1864 was very
much warmer/
- The visitor was J. S. Hatch, a ser
geant in Company E. Illinois Volun
teers in Sherman’s army as he
marched on Atlanta. ;
Mr. Hatch, after 5042 persuasion,
told briefly of his experience around
Kennesaw Mountain in June 1864.
While out with his company on
“Rainey Sunday”. June 19, 1864, his
company was surprised by the Con
federates near Little Kennesaw and
a number of them killed and he was
wounded and taken prisoner; Mr.
Hatch told of lying in the field near
Kennesaw for one day and later
being removed to the present freight
station and was kept for two days
and then sent to prison where he re
mained until the end of the war.
Henry Hatch, a brother of Mr.
Hatch, was killed June 27, 1864 in
Sherman’s charge on Kennesaw and
was buried in the Nationa] cemetery
at Marietta. Mr. Hatch will visit
his brothers grave and Kennesaw
while here as the guest of Mr. J. W.
Edwards who lives near Marietta.
His home is in Plano, Illinois. This
is his second visit to Marietta since
1864,
Election For Officers Set For
Next Meeting. Y. W. C. A,
Activities Placed Before -
Members.
The Marietta Rotary Club met at
their regular luncheon at the Golf
Club’ Wednesday afternoon. The
matter of electing officers for the
next year was brought before the
club and nominations were made and
tabled for the next meeting when
the election will be held,
. Reports were heard from Otis
Brumby, George Welsh and Dr. I. A.
White, who attended the Rotary con
ference at Birmingham last week.
The Bond election which is to be
held next week was brought before
the &lub and every member present
promised His support in putting the
election over. Several enthusiastic
talks were made in favor of bonds.
Immediately after the business of
the Rotary club was disposed of Miss‘
Fannie Lou Webb and Mrs. W. E.
Benson presented the Y. W. C. A
situation to the club and asked for
continued financial support in order
that the work now in progress might
be carried on in this community. A
review of the activities for the past
year revealed the splendid service
the Y. W. C. A, is rendering in Ma
rietta. Several of the men made
liberal pledges and others indicated
that they could be counted on for a
reasonable amount.
Just before the club adjourned a
resolution approving the recommen
dation of the last grand jury for a
bond issue for Cobb county roads
was read and unanimously adopted
by the members of the Rotary club.

Library to Function
: | oPI
For'All Users Alike
Books Cannot be Exchanged from
One Person to Another Without
Coming to Library Shelves.
It is the aim of the Clarke Libra
ry to function as nearly without rules
as possible, bearing in mind always
equal service to all library patrons.
We must, of course, limit the time
on books, this in order that each book
may do its full share of work, by ser
ving as many demands for it as pos
sible. We must charge fines if this
regulatior, is not observed by the
Clarke Library being the minimum
amount of a penny a day. Unless a
penalty is exacted, the return of li
brary books becomes something which
may be done at any time, which re
sults in idle books orn home tables in
stead of active books on the shelves
of the library We must guard the in
terest of all library patrons alike by
refusing to exchange a popular book
of new fiction from one name to an
other, otherwise a book travels in a
small circle of eifther a family or a
clique of friends, the larger interests
of library patrons in general having
not the slightest chance at a coveted
title, because it never reaches the
shelves at all. If the practice of ex
change from one name to another is
started it soon grows into the book
never reaching the library shelves
but simply being handed from one
friend to another.
We cannot reserve a popular book
of fiction for anyone, for this would
mean that with the book in the li
brary, a borrower is refused its loan,
in order that it may await the leisure
of another borrower. We fee] sure
if anyone wants a book very much
‘they will stop and think how he or
‘she would feel if the desired book
‘were in the library but its loan re
fused because it was being kept f_og
' someone else, this library pract.lce
vill be understood. This regulation
‘does not hold good in the case of olde
fiction or non-fiction, these books not
being in constant demand and the
'supply being greater. It may also
be waived in the case of a study class
or club, this representing the inter
est of a large group of people.
Remember, library service is plan
ned to use its stock to the best advam
tage of each borrower. If anv exist
ing practice is not serving this and
the management is not only willing
but anxious to change to somethng
lbetter.

As An Interpreter Of Scripture
Miss Tucker is One of the Best
Marietta Has Heard.
The series of meetings now in pro
gress at the Methodist church are
daily growing in interest, and Miss
Emma Tucker, who is leading in the
Bible talks and interpretation, is
proving one of the best ever heard
here. . _
There has been an entire absence
of excitement or anything in the
least sensational in the meetings, but
she has impressed her hearers with
her consecration to the service of the
Master, and drawn them to her in a
way to hold them on her every word.
Miss Tucker’s voice is remarkably
well modulated but she may easily be
heard in any part of the church.
The morning services have been re
stricted to one hour, beginning at
9:30, so that those who attend may
stay through the service and get back
promptly to work or business.
The evening service begins at 7:30
with a song service led by Mr, Lynn,
of Decatur, and the singing has been
unusually fine. The attendance has
been good and is growing, those who
hear Miss Tucker’s talks and Bible
readings coming back again.
A meeting for women will be held
in the church today, Thursday, at
3:30, and a special meeting for the
children on Friday afternoon at the
same hour.
When necessary the Sunday School
room is thrown open into the church
to seat the congregation, and all find
comfortable seats. '

the Steinhaer house on the corner of

Fnteresting Plays
Three One Act Productions Will
Be Given by Drama Council on
Friday April 22nd.
. 'Anyone who has never had the
privilege and the pleasure of enjoy
igg an evening of one-act plays, can
not really understand until they
have experienced it just what a
pleasant two hours can be spent in
that way. The rehearsals of the
three delightful plays to be given
Friday, April 22, under the direction
of the Drama Council of the Y. W.
C. A., show signs of being the most
wholesome and entertaining produc
tions given here in a long while and
are worthy of the patronage of all
who like really worth-while and ar
tistic plays. The group is especial
ly to be commended for the good
balance of theme that has been
maintained and for the splendid way
in which the players are entering in
to the spirit of their work.
The first play “Three Pills in a
Bottle” is not just what it may seem
on the surface—an adventure in
Souls and a very unusual leading
man make this whimsical little play
just a little bit different from the
ordinary, everyday play—just what
would you say-would be the size and
conduct of a weary wandering Scis
sors-grinder’s Soul, and how to do
you think—but not another word
about that, you must find out the
rest on the night of April 22, when
these plays are to be given.
“Trifles” is in an entirely differ
ent strain and requires the most
subtle acting. How stupid the men
are! Trifles have no meaning to
them—but to two women they piece
together into an explanation of a
pitifully human tragedy of another
woman’s life—wrecked hy an accu
mulation of “trifles.”
But all’s well that ends well, you
know, and the eveninq winds up
with a rollicking ‘‘delicious” comedy
that promises to break the record in
laughs much more successfully t.han
Babe Ruth is breaking his home-run
record. Just wait and see “Joint
Owners In Spain” s positively rich.
CHILD WELFARE CLINIC
. There will he a Child Welfare
Clinic, at the Court House, in the
office of the Board of Health, Sat-'
urday, April 9th, from 10 to 12
o’clock. Bring your baby to join
the Clinic Roll. ; .
