the season in Washington was the

FORTY EIGHTH YEAR
The Marietta Journal starts out
this week dn its forty-eighth year.
The paper was established in 1866
and in two years more will have
been published successfully for ha!f
a century. Fifty years is quite a
spell and not many newspapers have
gone along smoothly and eveuly for
&0 long a period.
The Journal has been successful
far beyond the average of county
weeklies. It has always enjoyed a
good advertising patronage and has
had a fine list of paying subscribers.
Its circulation at this time is twenty
five hundred copies weekly, whicn
has been the average for the last
four years. The consolidation with
the Courier brought a permanent
increase of about 850 after the elim
ination of duplicates and the circu
lation never falls below 2,500. This
takes the paper into practically
every home in the county. We try
to make it a welcome visitor where
ever it goes, and we are very grate
ful that it is so regarded by those
who receive it. While the Journal
is a businesg enterprise of substan
tial proportions we seek to make it
more than that.
It endeavors to be a public institu
tion, co-operating with all good citi
zens for the upbuilding of the city
and county and working for the
general welfare. Cobb county is
entitled to a first-class, clean, re
liable county paper and to the ex
tent of our ability we try to make
the Journal that sort of paper. It
is the kind of paper Mr. Neal and
Mr. Massey published and it is a
pleasure to follow in their footsteps.
In these modern times newspapers,
even in towns, must be progressive
and meet ever growing demands.
With that view we have at different
times added to the mechanical equip
ment of the Journal until it has .a
splendid plant with which to carry
on business. One of the first addi
tions was a folding machine which
greatly facilitates the mailing of the
paper, as it would be an all day joo
to fold our large circulation by hand.
But our most important addition :s
our typesetting machine. It is truly
one of the most wonderful and in
teresting inventions in the world. It
weighs more than a ton—more than
four baleg of cotton, and cost about
the price of forty bales. It is run
by an electric motor and has a larg~
key-board like a typewriter, which
the operator uses in setting type.
Its principal value to us is the rapidi
ty with which we can set news and
advertisements. A good printer
can set by hand one line in one
minute. Our machine can sget ten
lines to the minute. In every news
paper office there is difficulty in
handling late news and late adver
tisements. With our machine we
find it possible to meet any emer
gency and if it were neccessary we
could set the paper entire and print
it in two days. We have had this
machine a year and are much grati
fied with the results obtained. As
the paper grows we shall add what
ever it may need in the way of
equipment.
We desire to express our appre
ciation of the kind treatment the
Journal has received and we wish
for our readers a happy and pros
perous New Year. Prosperity is gen
eral in Georgia now but we think
that no county is on a more sub
stantial basis than Cobb. The farm
ers have made a good cotton crop
and sold it at a fair price. When
they prosper we all prosper and
they seem to be in a very satisfac
tory frame of mind just now.
So, here's a happy greeting, with
good wishes for all our readers for
1914,
ONE STICK OF CANDY FOR |
FAMILY DURING CHRISTMAS
You will begin to pity the poor
man more than his children when
you read that and wonder how such
a thing could come to pass right
here in Marietta. Moreover, there
were, beside his wife, mother-in-law
and cook, six children big enough
to eat candy. And furthermore the
man took a forty or flt’tfi horse pow
er automobile full of children and
chaperones to Atlanta to see Santa.
Claus. Of course there were baskets
of other good things but positively
only one stick of red striped pepper
mint candy for all those children.
But the stick was three feet long
and about 18 inches in diameter. It
also weighed over thirty pounds and
would have made a fine log for an
open fire if it had been hickory wood.
When Mr. Carnes chopped this
beautiful red and white stick with
a sharp hatchet the chips flew into
fragrant heaps which were gathered
into dainty baskets and it was per
fectly delicious candy and everybody
had more than they needed to eat.

MISS ALICE DARBY
WINS DIAMOND RING
Miss Alice Darby won the ring of
fered some weeks ago by Daniell
Brothers for the greatest nmmimber
of their illustrated advertisements
cut from the Marietta Journal by
a certain date. Only three ladies
were in the contest until it closed.
Mrs. Ed Giles, Miss Durham, of
Smyrna, and Miss Alice Darby.
These ladies selected Mr. J. E. Mc-
Nair, manager of the telephone busi
ness in Marietta, Mr. N. E. Clayton,
insurance man, and Mr. D. C. Os
born, rural route mail carrier, to
count the pictures. They counted
5,751 advertisements in all: Miss
Darby’s amounting to 2,602, Mrs.
Giles’ 1,675 and Miss Durham’s
1,674. Mrs. Giles did not enter the
contest in the beginning and her
race proved that she has many
friends in Marietta who stood by her
devotedly. Miss Durham’'s standing
was also enviable. Miss Darby is a
telephone operator, a very pretty
and sweet young lady, amd her
friends busied themselves to see that
her popularity was not to be ques
tioned. Naturally, in a ring contest
a young lady always stands more
chances than a matron no matter
how charming she may be.
The jewelry dealers were generous
in showing their appreciation of the
work done by the committee of coun
tres. Each one was presented witn
a fountain pen after the decision
and refreshed with soft drinks from
the soda fountain, chicken sand
wichs and cigars.
Miss Darby is receiving congratu
lations from her many friends, on
account of the beautiful prize she
has won.
