MR. JAMES M. DOBBS
DI&S OF PNEUMONIA AT

Mr. James Monroe Dobbs, well
known resident of College Park, who,
ntil his retirement six years ago,
¥as with the United States consular
svice, died Monday morning at the
Tsidence on Princeton avenue, of
Meumonia. He was sixty-thtee years
* sge, and had been seriously ill
tflince Saturday.
Mr. Dobbs was born in Marietta,
& son of the late Colonel David
Dobbs argq Mrs. Mattie.J. Dobbs, who
‘Wrvives him. Much of his early life
Vas spent in and around Marietta,
and he had numbers of friends in this
Section,. For the past six years he
R 4 lived in College Park.
- During his service with the United
Stateg My, Dobbs served as consul
Y several South American countries.
Although he had been in ill health
for the past six months, Mr. Dobbs’
‘eath came after a short critical ill-
Ress. He was taken with pneumonia
S"Wrday following a trip to Atlanta
ring the early part of the week.
Besides hig mother, he is survived

DRIVER ABANDONS
No Signs of Injuries to the Oc
cupant and No Identifica
tion Marks Left.
“Whose flivver is it?” was a ques
tion asked a million or so times Sun
day and Christmas day, about a Ford
automobile which had struck a tele
phone pole and truned turtle, some
time Saturday night or early Sunday
morning, on the Atlanta road just
this side of the Smyrna city limits,
The unknown driver escaped being
killed only through the rarest of luck
and taking the license number and
all other means of identifieation with
him, left for parts unknown, con
signing his “flivver” to the knidness
of\the publie. |
~ Late Sunday evening parts of the
car began to take up with souvenir
hunters and by Monday morning the
old Henry was only a shell of its
former self. Battery, coils, tires,
tubes, lights and everything else
easily accessible, had joined the
ranks of the driver and departed.
Up to the time of going to press
nothing could be learned about the
driver or the owner of the ¢ar. No
blood or other indications that any
one had been injured could be found
about the spot where the car wreck
~d and just why the driver abandon
ed the car is a matter of speculation.
_~ LEAGUE PROGRAM
Young People of Church Active
In Preparing Inspiring Pro
grams for Sunday Evening.
The Christmas program of the Ep
worth League, First Methodist
church, arranged by Miss Lillian
Boatner, was one of the best ever
given by the League. The Scripture
lesson was given by Miss Ora Chand
ler, and Messrs. Dobbs and Clay, giv
ing a passage each, telling of the
birth, the Supreme Gift, and the
meaning of the Gift, The Christ, |
A solo by Mr. P. Meadow was‘
touching in its sweetness and sim-’
plicity; and following this Miss |
Bruice Cleckler gave a short talk on
“Christian Thoughts.” [
~ “The City of Bethlehem,” duet by |
‘the Misses Webb, told the story of |
the Christ in music superior in qual- |
ity and beauty. }
Miss Lillian, Boatner gave a short;
address on. Messiah, the Christ, that |
was inspiring and filled with an ap- |
peal to the higher and better spirité
of giving and service. :
The League is the best place in |
town for a beneficial and inspiringg
hour, at 6:30, on Sunday evenings. |
Come out and see the young of our |
city active in their work and assist-i
wnce to the church. !
The boys and girls of the High
school athletic team are very enthus
iastic over their prospects for a fine
entertainment.
Mrs. Honeysuckle, Miss Lucile Al
len, is a granddaughter of one of the
sld “Deestrick Schule” stars, and
many of the participants are children
of the old skollars, who ave going
in"a body to witness this production
of the ‘““skule.”
The crying girl, the giggling girl
the stuttering boy, Mike, Sissy and
Buddy, and all the “skollars’’ are
studying hard to give a better
“gkule” than the ome in which the
older people took part.

Skeleton View of New Curtiss
Pursuit Plane, Showing Metal
Construction. ) |
The test performance of a new
Curtiss Pursuit Plane has caused a
sensation in the Army and Navy ser
vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Raca
at Detroit, in vshich a new all-Ameri
can motor finished in the first four
places, it has been expected that
military planes of a super-type would
make their appearance at almost any
time. The actual performance of the
first pursuit ship of a series surpasses
expectation. ¢
?n many respects, this aeroplane i
a departure from precedent. It use
the same Curtiss motor used in th
racing ships at Detroit. It is equippe
with wing radiators, the most radic
advance in the art of cooling a motpr
since 1917, and which reduces the
resistance of the air almost to zefo.
These features were expected. e
construction, however, is said to Mos
sess, also, a new feature, in that hel‘
entire machine can be stored f&r a 8
_period of twenty years, if necessjry,
on the porch agaihst the front wall
and when the explosion oceurred
planks ten feet above the floor were
iblown loose from the wall. A large
‘hole was blown in the porch floor
and in the floor of an adjoining room.
~ City police were on the scene a
short time afterwards but found no
clue that would indicate who placed
the explosive on the porch. The per
son or persons, it was pointed out,
probably lighted a fuse to the dyna
mite and escaped before the ex
plosion,
~ Deraney, who is a member of one
gof the Syrian families in Marietta,
recently purchased the house on At
lanta street and had been living
there about two months with his fam
ly. He operates a clothing store on
Lfihe Square in Marietta.

'issue of The Journal, relative to a
family in unfortunate circumstances,
{who were unable to give their child

5 pleasures, brought forth such a won
derful response from the good people

'share their Christmas with those less
fortunate.
Besides being given bapkets of
fruit, some clothing and other sub
l:stant;ial aid, the little children were
’able to realize their dream o fa doll
an expres wagon, and a tricyele
and without question there was no
’greater happiness found in the heart
of any children than in the heart of
these litle ones. And the gratitude
of the parents was most touching
in its deep sincerity.
We wish to thank the Rotary club
and each individual whe aided in

family and wish that you mould visit
them in order that you might see for
yourself how much your gifts really
