OFFICIAL ORGAN OF MARIETTA Official Organ of Cobb County. | MaRrieTTA, GA., JUNE 2, 1911, e e STREET CARS SHOULD STOP ’ AT MARIETTA POSTOEFICE.,I EDITOR MARIETTA JOURNAL : | Let me suggest that you use your influence with the city authorities to have the electric cars to stop at the Ma rietta post office when a passenger wants to get on or off, as to-day at 9 a. m, I atlempted to get them to stop, and no attention was paid, or any signal where I could get on. This is the only place between New York and San Francisco where I have ever known electric cars refuse to stop for passengers at a post office. I sug gest, if they will not, to then nave them post sign cards, ‘‘Cars do not stop here, but do at the court house corner every hour in the day.” Yours truly, R. P. SBIBLEY, The suggestion made by Mr. Sibley is in line with the convenience of the public, and we see no reason why it should not be adopted by the street car company without action by the city council, | It frequently happens that a man wishes to get his mail just as a car is | leaving, and it an unnecessary hard-! ship to compel him to walk back to the | court house in order to board a car. | Again, men coming in from Atlanta | wish to stop at the post office and get their mail, and it would be a conveni ence if they were permitted to get off the car at that point | The street cars in Atlanta stop at | practically every corner, | We feel sure that the management of the Atlanta and Northern will act promptly on ¢his suggestion that the post office be made one of the stopping places of the cars. A GIANT OF THE FOREST { CUTS 4,000 FEET LUMBER.' Mr. W. P. Watts, who lives on Mr.’ Griggs' place, at the two Mile creek.l delivered to the Brumby Chair com-[ pany a few days ago a tree for which; he was paid $107.75. { It was a veritable giant of the for-| est., The largest diameter was ﬁve' feet and two inches, and at the small | end of the top cut it was thirty-three ! inches. Five cuts were obtained of a| total length of fifty-eight feet, and from the tree the Brumby Chair ('om-f pany cut four thousand feet of lum-! ber. [ Do the land owners of this section ' of the State realize how quickly the hardwood trees on their property can | be converted into cash at the highest | market price right here in our town? This company has a band saw mill, | which is run in connection with their | plant and with which they cnnvert] these trees into the finest quality of | lumber to be used in the manufacture | of chairs. ‘ ——————— ——— A — 1 ?» “PLAIN DICK” MAY RUN. Judge Morris attended a birthday | dinner given to Judge Richard B. Rus- | sell in Atlanta, Saturday. Judge Rus sell is fifty years of age, and his | friends duly celebrated his semi-cen tennial. There is a strong probabil-| ity that “Plain Dick” will be a candi-! date for governor if Governor Smith | is elected to the Senate. { There is more Catarrh in this sec-| tion of the country than all other dis- | eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incura-‘ ble. For a great many years doctors | pronounced it a local disease, and! prescribed local remedies, and by con- | ~atuntly failing to cure with local treat-! Toent, pronounced it incurable. Sciencei has proven catarrh to be a constitu-! tional disease, and therefore requires | constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F, J.| ‘Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the| only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses irom 10 drops to a teaspoonful. N acts directly on the blood and mucous! surfaces of the system. They offer | one hundred dollars for any case iti Tails to cure. Send for circulars andi testimonials. Address: F. J.

The Brumby Chair Co., Marietta, Ga, June 2-3 t MUSIC IN THE PARK. This is the most summery weather in over thirty years for the last week in May. The fact is this month has been deluging us with thunder storms instead of with spring's silver rain, and it is hard to believe watermelons are not ripe. The time is here, wheth er it backslides or not, when every body longs to sit in the park and lis ten to the band. So it behooves us to appoint a committee, with Mr. Len Baldwin in it, to see about engaging the orchestra for concerts in the park, The Gem City band has been greatly strengthened by the addition of new members, who are full of the enthu siasm of youth, and music this sum mer will be better than ever.

One’s chances of death by lightning are less than two in a million. The chances of death from liver, kidney or stom ach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen. of West Burlington, la, proved. Four Doctors gave him up after eight months ot suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bitters. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifyer on earth. Only 50c at W. A Sams’ Drug Store, FOR SALE CHEAP — McCormick Binder, good as new.

Power in the Gober building on Atlanta street, and settle their laccounts. Marietta Dry Goods Company, By F. D. Milstead. June 29t = THE MARIETTA JOURNAL ANDCOURIER PLUNGE OF 103 FEET Big Crowds Gather to See Capt. Nick Carter do a Hair-Raising Act. The sensation in Marietta for the last week has been the high diving of Captain Nick Carter, who has taken a plunge every afternoon and at night from the top of a ladder 103 feet in height into a tank of water. Captain Carter is the world’s champion high diver, with a record dive of 189 feet made from the superstructure of a bridge at Louisville, Ky. Captain Carter came to Marietta last week with Mr. Jack Mitchell, who is a citizen of this city, and who for a number of years has been highly successful in the merry-go-round business, traveling over the country. The high diver attracts the crowds for the merry-go-round, and the enter prise evidently pays Mr. Mitchell, for he does a “land office business.” The ladder from which the dive is made is located opposite the court house on the vacant lot between the Singer Sewing Machine office and the wagon factory of Mr. W. W. Wat kins. It consists of seven sections of fourteen feet each, the whole being held in position by a number of guy wires. At the top is a small platform upon which Captain Carter stands, one hundred and three feet above the ground. On the ground, seven feet and four inches from the foot of the ladder, is a tank thirteen and a half feet long, nine feet three inches across, and four feet deep. Twice a day Captain Carter climbs the ladder, and dressed in tights weighs 148 pounds. He is well built like an athlete. He stands on the platform with his back to the tank, far up above the crowds that wait ex pectantly to see the plunge. Finally he stands erect with his back to the tank, leans backward, slowly turns over in the air and in an instant is plunging downward the frightful dis tance of a hundred feet. He exactly turns a somersault and strikes the wa ter on his heels at an angle that shoots him into the water at one end of the tank and up at the other. Just as he strikes he takes a full breath and sets his body rigid, and like a crook ed arrow, goes in, glances past the bottom and comes up at the other end. If he were to strike the water flat it would kill him. If he were to miss the tank it would kill him. At night gasoline is poured on the water, and ignited, and the Captain dives into a tank of fire. Captain Carter made his first dive in 1900 at Alma, Michigan. It was in 1963 that he dived from the super structure of the Big Four bridge at Louisville into the river, a distance of 189 feet. Steve Brodie’s jump from Brooklyn bridge, was 164 feet. Captain Carter’s home is in Rich mond, Va. He and Mr. Mitchell will be in Marietta until Saturday, and will probably go from this city to Atlanta. THE WATKINS MEN ARE COMING! W. O: Fincher .and R. L.
