Marietta Boy Scouts Go Down
to Atlanta and March With
Corn Club Boys.
Atlanta, Augusta and Columbus
have recently held shows of corn
grown by the boys of the corn clubs
formd last spring all over the state.
Arthur Hill of Early County made
233 3-7 bushels of corn on one acre.
Ralph Whaley, of Fayette County
died about two weeks before the
show in Atlanta but his corn was ex
hibited with that of his club.
A wreaht of roses was placed on
his mound of corn by Mr. Walter
Cooper and 25 men afterward each
pinned a dollar bill to the wreath to
be used in erecting a grave stonel‘
over this brave boy who fell by the
way while striving to win in agood!
cause. There were a great many boysi
who gathered 100 bushels from ono|
acre and these boys were organizod}
into boy scouts. Marietta's boy scouts
went down to march with the corn
club boys, carrying their beautiful
United States flag and a banner.
Two of these scouts are Marietta
Journal boys—Frank Ferris and
Wiley Blair, who go to the High
School and in the aternoon work in
the newspaper business.
There were only two Cobb County
boys sending exhibits to the corn
show. These were Bartlett Arnold
of Lost Mountain and Lee Wilkie of
Bells Ferry road. Owing to exces
sive rains these boys were not very
successful. ;

THE CHRISTMAS STOCKING.
The Christmas stock
ing is emblematic of
good wishes and an
abundance of all good
things, hence a box of
hose is always in taste
for a Christmas pres
ent. For men therel
is none better than the
beautiful “Radiums”
made by our own
home mill and dis
played for sale by our
loyal home merehants.
The design of the
special boxes is attrac
?tive, but the goods
themselves are more
so..
No. 800 is the great
est value ever offered
in a 25 cent half-hose.
There is black, tans,
navy and grey in all
sizes. Whether you
buy or not you will
find it interesting to
examine the displays
at the various stores.
