New Officers Elected By
Company at Barbecue
Held Monday Night
With a check for twenty-five dollars
which the McNeel Marble Company
sent to the Fire Department as a tokeu
of appreciation of the good work in
saving the plant from destruction a
few weeks ago the members of the
company indulged in a barbecue Mon
day night and had a good time.
Mayor Clay and the members of the
Council were present and Mr. Morgan
McNeel was also there.
During the evening the annual elec
tion of officers took place.
Mr. C. W. DuPre, who has made
such a good chief for the last year, did
not wish to act longer and took the
position that the City Fireman ought
to be chief, as he is necessarily at all
fires and no other man can find it
convenient to be at every fire and give
directions.
The following were elected: Chief,
Mr. Mace Morris; Assistant Chief, Mr
Gus Benson; Secretary and Treasurer,
Mr. Walter Schilling.
Many of the old firemen, who are
now honorary members of the Depart
ment, were present and all greatly
enjoyed the occasion.
A Check for the Fire Company.
Mr. C. W. DuPre, as Chief of the
Fire Department, received from the
McNeel Marble Company a check for
$26 for the Department. Mr. W. C
Carriker, who enclosed the check, said
in the letter that it was a little re
minder of the valuable work done by
the company on the occasion of the
recent fire when the marble plant was
saved from destruction.

~ WIN TRASH MOVING VICTORY
Friday was a great day for the Gem
City of the Banner County of the Em
pire State of the South!
Not because the brave gpirits of the
Ladies’ Civic Improvement League
made a light brigade charge upon the
legions of dirt and debris in our
streets and back yards; not that the
fairest and daintiest feminine hands in
town wielded brooms and rakes, white
haired mothers drove all day, direct
ing wagons to neglected corners, and
committees on all the principal streets
aided the workers to make a thorough
raid,
But, because g 0 many men, from the
Mayor down to the convicts on the
county roads, enlisted under Mrs.
Crosby's banner and helped with the
heartiest good will to bring Marietta
into the “Spotless Town” class.
First, Mayor Clay gave the city’s
sanitary department entirely to the
Civic League for the day. The pro
prietors of the three livery stables
each sent a wagon and driver.- Four
wagons were hired by the League, and
the housekeepers all over town had
barrels and boxes full of trash waiting
beside the gates. Ome fair worker,
from far out on Whitlock avenue, re
moved the debris left from the dining
tent of the last circus that “showed”
in Marietta, a disabled truck near the
depot that had become a landmark, so
to speak, and loads of miscellaneous
trash between the railroad and the
