Newspaper Page TextPage Six Estimated Capacity of 50,- 000 Gallons a Day--Three More Wells. Maycr Clay and the members ot the Water Board are jubilant They have struck water in the ‘‘arte gian well’”’ near the foot of Campbell’s Hill. The drill has reached a depth of 152 feet in solid granite. In this section the granite starts a few feet below the surface and when it starts it doesn’t stop until it merges into the molten mass at the center of the earth. So the scientists say. When the drill had passed through the hard pan and had gotten well into the granite, the casing, which had fol lowed the drill, was set firmly in the granite and all surface water was cut off. | The drill then went on down 86 feetl further through solid rock, touching geveral veins as it went aloug, until finally, when a depth of 152 feet was reached, the water rose to within eight feet of the top of the well, showing a powerful head. The Water Board decided to have a test made. An air pressare pump was brought up ‘rom Atlanta Tvesday and in the afternoon Mayor Clsy :and several members of the Board went out and saw the test. ““We found,” said Mayor Clay, as he came back to town, radiant and en thusiastic, ‘"that the well, as it stands, hag an estimated capacity of 50,000 gal lons a day. We expect to go deeper and also to go ahead immediately bor ing at least three more wells. The wa ter is clear and very cold.

B e The Marietta Post Is Put Out of Business. The Marietta Post has suspended publication. i The Post wasn’t exactly a newspaper, but in a way it served as a weekly, semi-weekly, daily, bulletin and ex tra. It was the nearest thing to a daily that Marietta could boast, and now it ! has suspended publication quit busi- I ness and gone into liquidation Years ago there stood at the corner ;of Winter street and Public Sguare. }’South. a beautiful tree. Its shade in time sheltered tens of thousands, but ! finally it died, and when it was cut down a part of the trunk, eight feet high, was left standing. That tall stump became the city’s bulletin board. Being in front of the po-~toffice, it had ‘‘the largest circulation’’ of any bill board in town. It did a landoffice business. ‘‘Lost,”” ‘‘Found,” ‘‘Want ed,” ““For Sale,” ‘‘For Rent,”’ etc., etc,, almost filled the ‘‘pages’”’ of the Post, all struggling for “‘top of column, next to reading matter.”’ But the Post was an unsightly thing, and furthermore it obstructed the view of a big show window of the German Store. Mr. Saul went out with a spade and tried to dig up the Post, but he found that the post-hole had been dug by the Creator of Forests. So Jack Miller bossed the job of cutting down the offending trunk. And when it was carted away the improvement in the appearance of the street was so great that everybody wondered why the old landmark hadn’t been removed sooner. Sending Seventy-Five Miles for Yeast Cake. ““What do you think of delivering a yeast cake to a customer seventy-five miles away?’’ asked Mr. E. L. Faw a day or twe ago as he glanced at a let ter. ‘‘Send me two yeast cakes,” it said. The letter was from Mrs, B. F. Mec- Cleskey, oif Mineral Bluff. “I have two customers for yeast cakes there,” said Mr. Faw, ‘Mrs, McCleskey and Mrs, J, V. Smith.” Mr. Faw’s long-distance customer re calls to mind a shipment of gents’ furnishing goods to Cuba by DuPre & Wallace, But when we think of the knitting mill products, our marble, Glover’s machine works, the paper mill, chair factories, and other industries, it may be truly said that Marietta spreads out over a big part of the world. Highest grade self-rising flour, only $l.OO at Faw’s—the cheapest flour you can buy. THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER Blue and the Gray Will Join in Exercises on Monday, the 30th. The Marietta Rifles will take part in the Memorial Day exercises with the Federal troops next Monday. This was decided upon last week, the sentiment of the boys being cordial and unani moug in favor of that course. For several years the troops at Fort McPherson bave joined in the Confeder ate parade in Atlanta, but never be fore in the state have the volunteers taken part in the exercizes on May 30th, Federal Decoration Day. The occasion, therefore, in Marietta this year will be memorable. The visitors from Atlanta will arrive at 10 and at 10:30. The procession will be formed under the direction of Mr. W. M. Scott, on Washington avenue, south side of the square, in the follow ing order: Companies G. and H., 17th U. S. lofantry and Regimental Band, under the command of Capt. Crowley ; Marietta Rifles, under command of Capt. Fred Morris; O. M. Mitchell, Post No. 1, Atlanta; .J, B. Steedman, Post No. 4, Tallapoosa; Woman’s Re lief Corps and Citizens generally. The program of exercises at the cemetery is as follows: “*Nearer My God to Thee,” by the band of the 17th U. 8. Infantry and audience. Prayer—Rev. E. D. Ellenwood, At lanta “Duty of the Day'’—Comrade Geo. B. Sickles. Music—By the band. . Reading of Department and National Orders—H. 8. Cave. Music, ‘‘America’”’—By band and au dience.

Salute to the Dead—Battalion U. 8. Infantry. Taps. Benediction. Decoration of graves. Doubtless many Marietta ladies. whose home is the ‘‘City of Roses,” will contribute flowers. Captain Fred Morris says he and the members of the company are glad to accept the invitation to join in the pa rade. Several members of the Rifles are Northern boys, and nearly all the members of tne 17th Regiment are Southerners. The regulars joined the voluntaers in decorating the graves of the Confederates, and now the volan teers join the regulars in this tender tribute to the Federals who fell in battle, ; No wonder we’ve got the greatest country on earth.

Jim Britton charged with larceny, and Lee Dobbs, held under a commui - tal for gambling, made their escape from the county jail just after sun down Thursday of last week, and up to this time, have not been recaptured. Deputy Sheriff Kineaid, in charge of the prison, had been engaged with helpers all day cleaning and renovating the jail cglls and corri dors, and at the time of the delivery, was at work in ohe of the upper tier cells. Insome manner, yet unexplain ed, these prisoners had secured an axe from the outside through one of the windows on the ground fioor. With this instrument they broke one of the window bars, creating an opening six teen by eight inches, which permitted them to reach the jail yard, afterward climbing an eightfoot fence and making good their escape. Both the escapes are negroes, and are well known. Dobbs has a peg-leg, and has made a jail record heretofore. The officers are doing all in their power to capture them, and it is believed they will not be long at liberty. Deputy Sheriff Kincaid personally offers a re ward of $5OO each for their rearrest, or for information as to their where abouts. 25c Krom Soap free with every 50¢ purchase. Butler’s Drug Store.

LASSITE R, Tax Receiver, Cobb County, Ga COO k i n You no longer need wear your self out with the weakening f rt heat of an intensely hot kitch- Om O en. You can cook in comfort.
