Newspaper Page TextChe Marietta Fournal Ihe People’s Paper S ¢OLUME 56, Request for a Receivez: :?.tops Is. snance of Second Dividend Checks by Agent Another injunction has been filed to stop the payment of another div idend by the liquidating agent of the Marietta Trust and Banking Com pany. The case will be heard in Gainesville on July 7 to decide whe ther or not a receiver is necessary for the bank. This application has al ready been heard before Judge Ir win, who decided that a receiver was not necessary. This decision was ren dered on the 28th of June, and the liquidating agent, Mr. G. P. Reynolds was in the act of mailing out checks for another dividend, when he was acain stopped by an ordex from Judge Jones, of Gainesville, Ga. It is reported that Messrs. H. B. Moss and Geo. F. Gober, who repre sents the parties wanting a receiver, made the point :that Judge Irwin was related to some of the plaintiffs, and he held himselr disqualified to try the case, but declined to revoke the order which he had already pas sed, refusing a receiver. The casze was then presented to Judge Jones, who again held it up, and passed an order rsquiringd the sittornays fov the liqudating agent, Messrs. Herbet Clay and Fred Morris to appear at Geinesville on July 7th, and show why the previous order of Judge Ir win should not be set aside. in the mean time no dividends can be paid out to the depositors. This makes the fourth . Judge Dbefoge whom this matter has been presented.

He shot his dangerous and bloody arrows in many ways and with the correct aim, for when the bat tle was over there were found to be forty-eight victims. There were twenty four marriage licenses is sued by Ordinary Gann last month and of this number, six were is. sued to colored and eightecn to whites, . However, Mr. Gann stated that these home victias were not the only ones to make the fatal plunge here. Six, to be exact, came to old romantic Cobb from other coun ties to take the nuptial vows. So, after all, romance is not dead in this old world of ours, It Is true that times have changed, but, with a progressive business fellow like “Dan” there is little danger that romance will ever die in this old world; at least not in the best potion—Cobb county.

Tha team is in the North Georgia Golf league and has not lost a match so far. This is quite a record consider ing the larger towns that compose this league. The first game was played in Gainesville last Saturday with Mari etta holding the Lig end. of the club with a score of 15.2. The team was entertained in such a fine manner while in Gainesville that they felt sorry they had to beat them—but golf is golf. Those playing for Mari. etta in Gainesville were: Geo. Dan iell, Frank McNeel, Dr. Perkinson, Mongin Brumby, L. N. Trammel and Dr. Elder. The second victory for the home team was won here with the strong Rome outfit on July 4. Marietta shut the Rome team out with a 16-0 score. This was one of the bigeest days in the history of the club, A big fcast was spread before the visitors and the home team that made all oth er like occasions look small. Mr. Joe Abbott made the welcoming address. The two teams will meet again in Rome on Labor Day. The Marietta tcam was composed of George Dan iell, Frank McNeel, Dr. Pevkinson, Mongin Brumby, L. N. Trammel, and Joe Wyatt. bring it to me and I will give you $5.60 for saving your own cotton. IT T felt rich as a little boy making 50 cents a day picking blackberries, here is is a chance for the boys or men to make $5.00 a day.” Martin Amorous. P. S. Dear Editor: If the banks and merchants will follow this plan we might save the entire crop. It’s labor, man, after all that makes us a living. M.

The music was ’the finest heard in this section in a tlong time. ' Those in charge are entirely pleas ‘ed with the results of the day. The {committee on arrangements was com iposed of Messers. Lonzo Terry, Dan { Cantrell, Frank Wallace, Henry {Fiinn, R. A. Moon, Ed Crowe and (Barney Blackmore. These men cer itainly deserve credit for the splendid |Program thcy aranged. i Onlr Three Arrests Made : Chie! Goodson stated that this was iprobably one of the quietest fourths ;ever spent in Marietta. There was only three arrests made during the whole day; all were colored, One was ‘arrested an the charge of drunken 'ness, one for disorderly conduct, and (the third for reckless driving. !

The bank officials were shower ed Wwith good wishes and congratula tions from all over the state. It was announced yvesterday by the officers of the bank that it had been made a state depository. This is quite an honor for any bank to re ceive and especially so for one that is less than a week old. The new bank has the good will and confidence of all the ecitizens of the county. Marietta is indeed for. tunate to have another strong bank ddded to her already sound force. With the addition of ‘the new bank Marietta has probably the strongest baniing facilities of any town her size in the state.

Everyone is cordially invited to come. Diner will be served on the grounds. “Doc” Williams Is Easily Convicted “We always thought it and now we know it.”” At last some stanch citizen found the nerve to try “Terrible Doc” Williams for an offense that many of Marietta's citizens have wanted to do for a long time. When the men’s Bible class of the Presbyterian church had their fish fry the other night, “Doe’” was brought up before Judge Samuel Sibley for trial on the offense of being a public nui sance. Just who it was that brought the case up has not been determined yet. The jury was compesed of Dr. Patton, foreman and Messrs. J.W. Legg and E. L. Faw. The prose cuting attorneys were Cols. Fred Morris and Campbell Wallace; the defence was unable to secure a lawyer, After a slight hesiation (not de liberation) the foreman announc ed the veredict of guilty and rec ommended a sentence of 1000 years, which the bench gladly gave. It is suspected by the de fendant that the jurors already had their opinion before they heard the case. However, no mo. tion for a new trial has been filed up to the time of going to press.

Only One Correct Answer is Received out of Entire Flock At last it happened a female won a baseball contest. Who would have thought it in the good ol’ days when baseball was a man’s game. We knew that the girls were playing baseball but, it was far from our thoughts that they knew more about the game than “mere man’”. It is true that the women are taking the world of ours and trying to rule the politics, the men, the business world and alas the sporting world. The ‘“Baseball Contest Editors” office was flooded with replys from all over the county. After the con test closed it took hours to sort and correct the numerious answers but, when all answers were corrected it was comparatively easy to award the prizes because of the scarsity of correct answers. In fact, there was only one wholly correct answer in the bunch, and this was sent in by a girl. There were two however who had eleven entirely correct but one came in before the other so this naturaily gave him the advantage. The other prize winners had any where from ten to eight cor rect answers, The other answers were low and had as many as six or seven wrong. Another factor in deciding the contest was that several contestants gzave the right answer but went ahead and critisized something that was right. Of course this detracted from the paper. The Journal wants to thank it’s many readers that took part in this contest and is only sorry that there was not a prize for every contestant. The editor also wants to congrat ulate the winners, especially the younger ones and the girls. B following is a list of the prize LOUATY SCROOLS WILL BE OPENED 0N JULY TENTH County School Board Meets and Lowers Tax to Three Mills On the Dollar | At a meeting of the Cobb County |School Board, held in the office of |CouMty Superintendent Moore, last ‘Wednesday it was decided to open lthe county schools on July 10, how jever, some will be allowed to open ton the 17th.

The Board also instructed the trustees of the different schools to |see that the buildings and grounds iwere placed in a sanitary condition and that all wells were clean before the opening of school. | The fact that the scolarship stand ’ard of the teachers as is very low was brought before the board and they instructed the Superintendent to see that only first class teachers with ex perience were engaged for the com |ing' year, The members of the hoard present were Messers., Cooper Bishop, Hugh | Moore, Secy., Drs.
