Monument and Life Size
Statue of Senator Clay
Has Been Finished
The work on the monument and the
life size statue of Senator Clay has
been completed by the contractors, and
all that remains is to set the work up
and unveil it. The contractors state
that the entire work of erecting the
monument can be completed within two
weeks. The committee in charge de
sires to have the unveiling exercises as
early as possible. The life size statue
in bronze, which was cast in Philadel
phia, reached here on Tuesday, and is
now at the plant of the McNeel Marble
Co., where the finishing touches are
being added to the foundation on which
it will rest.
The Committee desires to impress
upon those who have not paid their
subscriptions that the time has now
come when it must be paid; that the
monument will not be unveiled with a
debt hanging over it, and as much as
everyone would like to have it unveiled
within as short time as possible it will
not be done unless there are sufficient
funds in hand to pay the contractors.
It must not be said that the people in
the home town and county of Senator
Clay have so soon forgotten what a
really and truly great man he was. It
must not be said that there are people
in the county who in the enthusiam of
the moment, made subscriptions and
later failed to pay them, and in that
way the monument to Cobb County’s
favorite son was unveiled with a debt
hanging over it. If this article falls
under the eye of those who have not
paid, it is intended for them.
There has been a tremendoous
amount of work connected with the un-

dertaking, and it has been done by tne
committee in charge without reward,
or the hope of reward, other than to
see the services of a truly great and
good man properly rewardad, and his
memory fittingly perpetuated.
It is thought that the fact that there
are some yet who have not paid their
subscriptions is due more to careless
ness than anything else, thinking it
would do just as well to pay it at some
later day, but this is not true; the sub
scriptions were accepted in good faith;
the work has been completed as per
contract; the contract was awarded on
the strength of the subscriptions, and
in the belief that they would be paid,
and the time has now come when they
must be paid.
Mail your subscriptions at once to
Fred Morris, Secretary and Treasurer,
and lets unveil the monument free of
debt.

UNVEIL MONUMENT:
i
Suggestion For Both Events
To Be Held on The
Same Day
The way work on the Clay monument
and the white way lights is progressing
it now looks as though they will be
completed about the same time and it
seems that it would be worth while if
those behind the respective movements
could get together and unveil the monu
ment and turn the current on the white
way lights on the same date. This is
merely a suggestion but it seems that
it would be well to celebrate these two
new features together and let everybody
spend a big day in town. There will
be a large crowd of people in Marietta
on the day the monument is unveiled
and they would surely like to stay an
hour or so after the unveiling exercises
to see the new lights turned on.

well under way, and with a small
amount of additional work by each one
on the committee, success will be as
sured.
Homes for more than 500 have al
readed been provided for, of which
number Smyrna agrees to take 200.
This is a fine showing for Smyrna, and
Marietta is also going to do her part.
Every member of the committee is
urged to be present promptly on Thurs
daf' night of this week.

MOTHERS' DAY AT
First Baptist Church Held
Appropriate Exercises
Last Sunday. :
Last Sunday was beautifully cele
brated at the First Baptist Church.
Dr. Tumlin preached a touching ser
mon from the words, ‘‘Honor thy
father and thy mother.” As all the
Philatheas and Baracas were present
from other churches, the congregation
was very large, and the effect of white
carnations over everyone’s heart was
lovely. The church was decorated in
foliage plants and white flowers. Mr.
E. L. Robertson and Mr. H. B. John
ston made large cardboard letters
spelling ‘‘Mother’’ and a big heart on
the blackboard. These were perforat
ed so the children could fill them with
white flowers.
Mrs. Cliff Dobbs sang “Tell Mother
I'll Be There” so tenderly that tears
came to every listener. Mrs. Reynolds
was at the organ.
Miss Ruby Taylor played Gounod’s
“Lullaby” on the violin very sweetly.
The boys and girls of the Sunday
School recited poems suitable to the
day. All the service was impressive
and emphasized the idea of appreciat
ing mothers, and proving it.
