GREENHOUSE GULTURE .
Spacious New Greenhouse Being
Built by Mrs. Meinert
First in Marietta
It may interest the public to know
that an up-to-date greenhouse -has
heen erected by Mrs. Henry Meinert
This has been done in appreciation of
the fact that such a plant was due
her many valued customers in order
to supply the demand for flowers
during the winter season.
No pains have been spared to make
this house a producer. Bulbous stock
of all kinds are to be a specialty. A
small stock of all kinds are to be a
specialty. A small stock of blooming
plants will also be keg‘?f/"'
Within the next o weeks this
house will be stocked and another in
dustry will be added to Marietta’s
progress. As fas as we can find out,
there is no city in the south the siz
of Marietta supporting so good a
flower business. We feel that this
should be appreciated and our local
florist given the support of the town
and of\ [fhe surrounding territory.
Two Atlanta flower houses are now
buying their supply from Mrs Mein
ert and there is no use in “bringing
coals to Newecastle.”
Mrs. Meinert has long been an ac
tive business woman of our town and
will do all in her power to heip her
patrons “Say It With Flowers.”

Loses Foothold While At Work
On A Tel?hone Line
The Road To Kennesaw
Bernard J Green, a lineman in the
,W@g»&onmern Bell Tele
phone* ecompany,” was™somewhat Ser
iously injured Tuesday morning
about 11, o’clock while engaged in
repairing a’g_-lg.phone line two miles
out of the city on the road to Ken
nesaw.
It appears that his foothold gave
way while at work near the top of
a pole, when his climbers lost their
su‘rip, where the pole was not sound.
Green did not fall to the ground,
however, as he was caught by his
safety belt.
The injured man was carried to
Ithe Marietta Sanitarium in a pri
vate car, where it was found that he
lsustained internal injuries.
It was stated that his injuries, tho
inot extremely serious, were very
painful and that he awould be confin
!ed for a period of several days.
POLICE COURT HELD
By Raymond Starr
The weekly session of police court
was held lere ¢n Monday night with
Judge Brumby presiding. The ma
jarity of ‘ases heard were for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct.
One dusky denizen of Darktown,
whose total earnings for a period of
one year amounted to the sum of
one dojlar and four bits was arrainged
for idling and loitering. He denied
the charge. Upon inquiry he assur
ed the judge that he was a profession
al at the gentle art of weilding the
’p’ck and shovel, and solely upon his
swn recommendation he was given
employment on the city streets.
Another Senegambiam, somewhat
darker in hue, was also given a job,
when he found it inconvenient to con
tribute the $7.50 to the Common
wealth, which quota was allotted him
for disorderly conduct.
It was brought out in the trial of
one Sun Bond, also black as the
deuce of clubs, that a great deal of
disorder was stirred up in Baptist
town on a Sunday afternoon, when
the aforementioned black ran amuck,
and threatened to clean out the com
munity. It seems that the trouble
all originated in a dispute over a
$4.50 watch
Consderable time was consumed in
an effort to ascertain whether one
of the witnesses in a disorderly case
was eligible to testify against the de
fendant. It was alleged that witness
and defendant were related. “What
kin are you to the accused” question
ed the judzé of the witness. “ANh
reckon Ahm some kinder kin,” an
swered the witness, “I lives infia jin
-=0 o his'n and ah married ’at
i er's r+'s gran’chile. Then you
must be his great aunt, while he is
vour neighbor-in-law,” explained the
iudge to the entire satisfaction of
the witness.

Keen Interest Sliown County
Club Fair To Be Held Oct. 11
By E O McMAHAN
The 1921 Cobb County Fair will
be held in Marietta Tuesday, Octo
ber 11th. T’hi§ is the big day that
all club members have been looking
forward to as the time when they will
get together and exhibit the products
of their year’s work before the judg
es who will decide who are the win
ners in each contest. _
There are five agricultural clubs,
the Corn Club, Potato Club Potato
Club, Wheat Ciub, Pig Clvh and
Poultry Club, in the county this year
and there are 162 boys and girls who
are members of these clubs. With
this number in the clubs, all of whom
have done good work and ‘E;b:g
good exhibits, the competition
necessarily be close.
The premium list which is being
made up by contributions from the
bankers, merchants and other bus
iness men of the county bids fair to
be one of the largest in the history
of the fair. A new feature will be
three $25 scholarships to the Short
Course for Club Members at the
State College of Agriculture next
summer. The First National Bank
of Marietta is offering one scholar
ship to the champion corn club boy
and one to the champion potato club
boy. While the Merchants and Far
mers Bank is offering one to the
champion pig club member.
A complete list of the premiums
offered and the contributors will be
published soon.
FIRST NATIONAL BANK®
INAUGURATES NOVEL IDEA
Ag R e
A very novel and unique idea is
being practiced by the First National
Bank and one that is calculated to
prove of exceptional benefit to their
farmer patrons and all others who
take advantage.. Two blackboards
have been hung in the lobby of the
bank where farmers who have any
thing to sell, can put the public on
notice by an advertisement written
on the boards. Where a person wants
to buy anything the boards can be
used in the same manner.
No charge whatever is to be made
for this service and it is predicted that
the plan will be very successful.
L Oke [:.g :! Y F .
There’s something facinating about a fair. Things are always
moving. Folks come from near ard far to see, to hear and compare.
But nobody would think of going to a fair every day. It would
take too much valuable time. Besides, there’s a continuous substi
‘ tute right in your home, though you may not have realized it. For
this newspaper conducts a regular fair every week in its advertising
columns.
Here the merchant and maker of everything you need or want
display before you their most attractive wares. You have only to
choose at your ease what you care most about befort actually going
to see the products so displayed.
There’s a world of informafion and interest in the advertise
ments. The time and trouble they save you are beyond calculation.
Always feel you're shopping when you read the advertisements.
You’ll find the habit pleasant and profitable.
