Committee Now at Work
Raising Funds to Enter
tain Voters.
C—————
There was an enthusiastic meeting of
citizens in the office of Mr. J. J. Black
on Tuesday night to form tentative
plans for the barbecue that has been
proposed for the voters of Marietta on
the fourth of July. A committee was
appointed to formulate detailed plans
and raise the necessary fund to feed a
crowd that was estimated at eight
hundred.
Mr. E. L. Stringer was chosen chair
man of the committe and the following
gentlemen were appointed to assist
him: Messrs. George Griffin, Jack
Barnes, Morgan McNeel, C. W. Carter,
Will Crumbley, E. L. Robeson, Len
Baldwin, Allen Hardeman, Harry
Haynes, George Welsh, Sam Jones,
Wiiliam Hardage, and E. .. Williams.
There will be no politics mixed in the
barbecue, or the Brunswick stew
either, for that matter, although only
those eligible to vote will be invited
and it is hoped that every political fac
tion will be on hand to take part in a
general jollification to celebrate the
progress that Marietta has made
during the past three city administra
tions.
W. A. FLORENCE
WILL MOVE STORE.
Mr. W. A. Florence has leased from
Col, D. W. Blair, agent for Mrs. Addie
Northcutt, the store now occupied by
the Haverty Furniture Company and
will move his dry goods and ladies
furnishing business into that building
between now and Jannary 1. Mr.
Florence is one of Marietta’s most pro
gressive merchants amd his rapidly
growing business has far outgrown his
present quarters. He is being congra
tulated on securing such a large store
and such good location.

Two Crops on Same Land
Making Money For
Mr. Morris.
Mr.. Gid Morris of Smyrna has just
sold to the McMillian Seed Company of
Atlanta two hundred bushels of Irish po
tatoes for $5OO. That seemstobe a pretty
good price for potatoes when they were
raised on land that had already produc
ed more than a hundred bushels of Oats
to the acre. Mr. Morris raised 947 1-2
bushels of oats on eight acres of land,
sold the oats for seventy-five cents a
bushel and eight tons of straw for
twelve dollars a ton. He then planted
Irish potatoes on four acres of the land
and got a crop of 438 bushels. This
figures out a fraction better than one
hundred dollars an acre for the oats and
straw and a fraction over two hundred
and fifty dollars an acre forthe potatoes,
Still Mr. Morris is raising some cotton
this year but is raising it for seed only.
A CLASS SINGING AT
NEW SALEM SUNDAY
There will be a class singing at New
Salem second Sunday in June, the 9th.
Every class in the county is invited to
come and participate in carrying out a
nice program. We certainly expect a
very large crowd and of course at a
class singing we know in advance that
we will hear fine singing—the kind of
singing that makes you feel good and
the kind that you don’t forget soon. It
is the kind of singing that the people
love as well as the singers. If you
haven’t heard this kind of singing ask
some one who has and see what they
say and come to New Salem June 9th
and be convinced . It is all day. Bring
a nice filled basket along.
