Will Use Well's System of Curing . Mrs. J. W. Legg says that his po tato curing house is coming along fine and that it will be completed somewhere around September 10th. None of the equipment has arrived as yet but the buifding is practically completed. ' Mr. Legg will use the “Well’s Im proved Air Method” of curing the potatoes, This process differs radi cally from the one mow in use by the state and if it does what they claim it is a great improvement. In this method cold air is passed over the potatoes for about three days. This is to remove any moisture that may be on the potato. Next hot air is passed over the potatoes for about three or four days. This cures the peeling of the potato and leaves the nourishment of the plant intact. Af ter this cold air is again passed over them to close the pores so that no nourishment may evaporate. This method enables the potatoes to stay healthy for a longer length of time that is otherwise possible, it isclaimed. Mr. Legg has experiment e<_i with both systems and says the difference of life and weight keeping 18 remarkable.

Gold is Found On Farm Near Black ‘ wells, Recently By Raymond Rice Can you ima:flne\what a modern gol¢ rush would be like. With fiiv vers instead of ox-carts and covered ‘wagons; with paved highways instead of mountain trails; with trafi. cops, instead of the indians; with modern dredges instead of the romantic pick and shovel; with cold drink stands instead of saloons. In fact, a real modern gold rush would hold no more romance than a modern dance, The other day Mr. H. E. Kerley brought a gold nugget up to the of fice. It weighed eleven penny weight and by what Mr: Kerley called sim ple figuring it was found that it was worth ten whole dollars. The nug get was found on a farm near Black wells, Ga. Mr. Kerley said that he did not ask the name of the party and just bought the nugget as a mat ter of business and at first did not think of anything unusual about it. However, it is interesting to spee ulate on what a modern Cobb Coun ty Gold rush would be like. Marietta Wins From Powder Springs, 2-0 In one of the fastest games of the season here Saturday, Marietta took the fast Powder Springs bunch into camp in great fashion, the score be ing 2 to 0. “Lefty” Parker was on the mound for Marietta and that’s “’nuf sged”. You can look at the score for other information. The whole Marietta team played good ball hehind Parker and as a result the Powder Springs boys did not score. This is a feat that is not often pulled on the visi tors, because they have one of the best teams in the state. Hobson, for Powder Springs, pit ched a nice game, and if his team mates had hit a little better there would have been a different story to tell. But the best team won, or we were in luck, or whatever you want to call it. Batteries: Marietta—Parker and Mims. Pow. Sprgs.—Hobson and McTyre, Time~-1:50. : 10 PAGES NUMBER 33
