ARdit to Close This Week A decision that the Marietta Trust and Banking Company is still a cor poration, was handed down by Judge Bell in the Fulton county superior court in Atlanta, last Thursday. This definitely seftles a question that arose . two weeks ago when T. J. Jackson, Tom Gentry, Ralph Man ning, Frank Guinn and John S. Walker filed a petition through their attorneys, Fred Morris and Herbert Clay, asking that a receiver for the Marietta Trust and Banking Com pany be appointed, claiming expira tion of the bank’s charter and that a partnership existed.. The decision of* Judge Bell is that the bank is still a corporation, and the charter does not expire until Ap ril 25,1922, T. R. Bennett, state superintendent of banks, who was appointed tem porary receiver of the bank by Judge Bell when the petition was filed, has been relieved in that capa city under the decision, and now has charge of the affairs :of the bank in his official capacity as state sup crintendent of banks. The auditing of the bank’s books will be completed this week, and a local committee will be appointed to make appraisal of the bank’s assets. Until the audit and appraisal is made no definite information can be had as to the loss sustained by the organization. Body of Marietta Boy Arrived on Thursday.

A A &A e —————————————————————————————— MARIETTA, COBB COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1922 .“BAI BBHSI[HS l A trip to inspect the mammoth Farmers Co-operative elevator and mill, at Dublin, Georgia, and secure accurate information as to its suc cess, was made by a party of en thusiastic Marietta boosters last Sat urday. i ‘ Those making the trip, and entire ly at their own expense, were A. L. Crcwe, of the Holland Realty Com pany; George E. Daniell, of Daniell Bros. Jewelry Company, and G. C. Langford ,of the Marietta Battery Company. : Dublin is 200 miles from Marietta,. and the party made the trip by auto. When interviewed by the Journal these boosters were bubbling over with enthusiasm as to the great pos sibilities for a like plant to be erected M&m 00 o al, L “3' ,-:"»‘r.», ’!,\-_‘?:v morning and reached Dublin at noon. When within forty miles of Dublin they noted a great change in the far ming conditions, field after field of newly planted grain now showing an expanse of green, that is to be turn ed into profits the coming fall. The fields were principally wheat, oats and rye—but the party learned that velvet beans is probably the most ex tensive crop produced in the Dub lin territory. Some data was secured at Dublin which is of special interest and which falso is convincing evidence that the Dublin grain elevator and mill was erected purely for self-pre servation. and that it has made a wonderful succegs. In 1918 Laurens county raised 60,000 bales of cotton: 1919, 20,165 bales; 1920, 17,427 and in 1921 only 11,112 bales. About the normal acreage had been planted each vear, but the boll weevil made such ravages on the crop that production dropped to where farmers were in actual want for a livlihood. | . The elevator and mill was the solu tion. It has proven the very life of Laureng county farmers, and to ‘day they are well off financially, and ‘the future looks bright. The farmers in the Dublin territo ry have nearly banished the idea of }a cotton crop this year, although cet ton.is being raised as a side-line. The principal crops now consist of velvet ;beans, corn, wheat, oats, rye and pea nuts. ' The Marietta boosters learned that there are 554 stockholders in the Farmers Co-operative elevator and mill at Dublin, and the majority of stock is held by farmers. They talk- Ped with fifty or more of these farm ers and found them all enthugiastic iin their praise of the plant. The ele vator was constructed in 1919. and «tarted business on October 13th of that year. The first vear it paid to %the farmers a total of 1.081 checks. ~nd handled 20,000 bughels of grain: in 1921 the elevator companv issned to farmers 3.010 checks and handled 20,000 bushels of grain. From Oet. nber, 10th, ]92]' to February 25th 1922 (iust five month sand fifteen ‘;davs) the ~ompany had issued 3,010 checks to the farmers of that sec tion. E The Marieta boosters learned that the Dublin elevator was drawing bus ﬁness from a twenty mile radius, and that it was not uncommon for the Lolant to handle fifty to seventy-five loads of grain in a single day. The Jargest day’s business was a few Iwoeks ago when 137 loads of grain came into the Dublin plant. | In 1920 twentv car loads of corn was shinped into Dublin lor local con isunrnti«m. and in 1921 corn was shin ped from the Duhlin elevator to oth er towns. One big shipment of corn went to Eagtman.

R. Kirk, a prominent farmer om route five, Marietta. % The capture of the weevils were made, explained Mr. Kirk, to settie an argument as to whether a bol¥ weevil can live through freezing weather. Can they live? Well, they were not dead!

Thig pair of weevils had gone through several days of confinement in ice, were thawed out by heating over a red-het stove, and then con fined in an air-tight bottle for sever al days. Their health had seemingly not been impaired. They reared upw on their hind legs, made rapid trasit )from one end of the bottle to the other, with just an occasional stop to attack the bottle stopper with theiz vicious-looking beaks.
