GRAND JURY ‘
; : |
GEORGIA—Cobb County. =
To the Hon. D. W. Blair, Judge Su
' perior Court:
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and
sworn for the July term, 1924, of
'‘Cobb Superior Court beg leave to
submit these, our general present
ments.
Ist. Through committee we have
examined the books of the various.
Justices of the Peace and Notariesf
Public of the county and have found
the same neatly and correctly kept. |
2nd. The Grand Jury has careful-|
ly examined the report recently madel
by the Auditor of the county affairs.
We find that there are approximate
ly $41,000.00 of unpaid taxes, th&
same extending from 1917 to 1924,
and that there has been apparently
little effort to collect the same. We
find that there has been no spocial{
effort on the part of the officers of
the county to wollect thesze taxes by
levy and sale. And in this connee
tion we have found that certain pro
fessional taxes have not been paid as
provided by law. We recommend
that C. C. James, of Marietta, Ga.,
be appointed and designated by the
Sheriff to work and co-operate with
the Tax Collector and that the books‘
be cleared up and either be collected“
or stamped satisfied by the proper
parties. We have found that the
County Tax Equalizers have copied
returns of previous years where no
return had been made and that this
practice has caused much confusion.
The property in some instances hav
ing changed hands and return made
by the owner at the proper time. We
would suggest that the Auditor’s list
be purged by proper authorities and
reduced to the solvent fi. fas. and
that this practice of the Tax Equali
zers be discontinued.
3rd. We recommend and request
our Representatives in the General
Assembly of Georgia to endeavor to‘
secure passage of a bill that will al
low and empower the Tax Collector
of counties in Georgia that have a
population of 25,000 or more, to levy
and collect all tax fi. fas. through the
Tax Collector. It is not our purpose
to take away any authority of the
Sheriff but to have this important
matter under the direct supervision
of county authority who can be held
directly accountable to the people of
the county, and at the same time
give smaller counties the same au
thority in this respect as has been
given counties with a population of
75,000 or more.
4th. This Grand Jury has recom
mended that a bill be introduced in
the present Legislature abolishing
our present Board of Commissioners
and that another bill be introduced
creating a one-man Commission and
that the same be submitted to the
voters of the county for their ap
proval or rejection. The resolution'
has been placed in the hands of our
Representatives.
sth. We have elected Mr. Dave
Brown, of Cobb county, to fill the
unexpired term of Dr. C. D. Bannis
ter on the County Board of Educa
tion.
6th. We recommend that the fol
lowing Notary Public and ex-Officio
Justice of the Peace be appointed:
W. T. Brown for the 992nd Dis
trict G. M. |
C. M. Dobbs for the 898th District
G. M., to succeed themselves.
7th. We have heard of many in
stances of where certain property has
been destroyed in many communities,
such as cutting well ropes at commu
nity wells and school houses and also
the breaking of window panes and
otherwise defacing school property.
We recommend that the school trus
tees be especially diligent and make
an effort to stop this spirit of van
dalism and to apprehend the guilty
parties wherever possible,
Bth. We have noted with especial
interest and pleasure the condition of
the county court house and jail and
we want to take this method of ex
tending the warmest thanks of the
Grand Jury for this much needed im
provement.
9th. We have received the reports
of the various county officers, who
are required by law to report to this
body. We attach them hereto as a
part of our presentments and recom
mend that they be published as such.
10th. We recommend that these
presentments be published in the Ma
rietta Journal, Cobb County Times
and Acworth Four-County Post and
that the usual fee be paid for same.
11th. We take this occasion to
thank Judge Blair for his able charge
to this body and the Solicitor Gener
al Jno. 8. Wood for his able Counsel
and assistance and diligent attention,
This July 20th, 1924,
W. L. Richardson, Foreman,
J. L. Jiles, Clerk.
The foregoing presentments resd
in open court. Let same be filed in
the office of the Clerk of this Court
and published as recommended.

ED DIVORCE ON
]
Former Wife of Cobb County
Planter Now on Trial Charged
With Attempt to Murder
D. D. Bullard was granted a com
plete divorce from his wife, Ruth
Bullard in the Cobb Superior Court
here Thursday. Bullard charged his
wife with infidelity and cruelty. The
case was uncontested. :
Mrs. Bullard is to be tried this
week on a charge of attempt to mur
der her husband last July while he
slept. Sim Edwards, who was named
as co-respondent in the divorce was
convicted on the same charge at a
special term of the court here last
August.
Mrs. W. E. Benson Gives
Delightful Musicale Friday
Members and friends of the Wo
man’s Club were offered a real treat
last Friday afternoon when Mrs. W.
E. Benson opened her beautiful home
for the delightful mucicale, #rranged
by the Club President for the bene
fit of the Library. Mrs. Hague and
Mrs. Hi Mozeley, Vice-president took
the tickets under the rose arbor at
the street entrance and Mrs. Benson
extended a cordial welcome to the
guests as they entered the house. The
large rooms and piazzas were filled
with an enthusiastic audience when
Mrs. Hague announced the first num
ber on the program, piano selections
by Miss Eliza Holmes, chairman of
the Music Section of the Club. Then
came Mrs. Graham Sullivan of New
York, so well known and loved in
Marietta, and giving so graciously of
her splendid voice. Mrs. Boston de
lighted everyone with some of her
fascinating recitations and mono
logues, and Miss Sarah Patton ren
dered several selections, her clear so
prano voice in striking contrast to
Mrs. Sullivan’s deep contralto. Miss
Glennis Hancock accompanied and
added much to the pleasure of the
listeners by her perfect work.
Everyone was sorry when the last
number closed and they gathered
about those who had taken part to
add a word of personal appreciation
to the grateful acknowledgement of
\ Mrs. Hague in behalf of the club and
\ their friends.
FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH NOTES
Last Sunday morning we had only
343 in Sunday school, however the
preaching services were well attend
ed at both hours. It was a joy to
speak to such a fine congregation at
Noonday Sunday afternoon. They
have a good church and they are very
much in love with their pastor at
Noonday.
Let our people come next Sunday
morning and evening and hear the
pastor preach on ‘““Co-operation with
the Deacons of the Church,” and
“How Criminals Get Caught.” If
you will attend all the services of
your church you will feel much bet
ter, be much happier and will look
much better. Try it and you will
see. We are always glad to have vis
itors. Come and you will find a hear
tv welcome.

The City of Homes
m
e A ——
In this commandingly dttractive section, where
the landscape is one continuous unfolding of scenie
surprises nature left a pattern of eompelling charm
with which man has worked a transformation.
What the eyes saw, only a few months ago as an
open place that stretched broadly away to the quiet
hills .is now a skillfully laid out residential seetion
that is destined, within a few brief vears, to take a
conspicuous place in the list of Marietta’s most, dis
tinguished residential sections.
Nor is this altogether a section in the rough, re
quiring the exereise of a fertile imagination to vis
ualize. This seetion is in process of completion. Its
wide drives sweep smoothly into the blue distances *
and are graded with the best workmanship. Whose
sightliness plainly proclaims the endearing charac
ter of the homes they will serve.
Curbing, walks, curbstones, water, electrie lights,
and sewerage will shortly be installed. No tearing
up or discomfort to purchasers later. And every
where nature, the landscape designer has worked
with happy heart and unstinted appropriation to
create an abiding picture of grace and beauty—an
ever fresh loveliness for Cherokee Heights dwellers.
A scene of unforgetable charm for visitors.
A few years hence will see Cherokee Heights
widely proclaimed as one of Marietta’s beautiful
residential sections. Enhancement in values is inev
itable. A prompt selection will secure a lot which|
will give you deep satisfaction.
We will welcome an opportunity to send a cour,
teous representative to take you on an inspection
tour of the property at your own convenient time{
Our representative will fully explain Cherokee
Heights’ unique features.
