Marietta people went down in cou
ples and parties to see this charming
little comedy, with the serious under
current to such an extent it seems
hardly worth while to mention it.
A number of Young husbands took
their wives and almost every one
that goes to shows went to see Peg.
The theme of the play is old and
simple. A Young Irish girl with
very.red curls and cheeks and the
warm heart that goes with such a
color scheme, untaught and unused
to the ways of the English grand
dame who thinks keeping ones hair
out of her eyes is one of the prime
duties of a girl, comes into the
house of such an aunt almost like
the thunder storm that follows her.
The leading man, who is young and
handsome and wholesome of nature,
is amused at Peg's looks and
then attracted by her sinceri
ty and loyalty to her father
and her pet dog. The aunt is
a handsome woman with the
white hair and smooth complexion
of a woman who has but fed on the
roses and lain in the lilies of life
and her young daughter from pure
ennui, no doubt, is saved from
throwing herself away upon a
worthless married man by her hoy
denish but pure-hearted little Irish
cousin, Peg. The scenes and situa
tions are amusing and also pathetic.
The two thunder storms bring out
Peg’s sincere superstition and real
piety, while the way she insists on
going to a dance with “Jerry” with
out the consent of her aunt and. oa
her return from that innocent diver
sion, prevents her cousin’s elope
ment with the married man prove
her strength of character and up
right training at the hands of her
father. The two cousins, Peg,
whose real name is Margaret O’Con
ner and Miss Ethel Chichester, are
as unlike as their pet dogs and y=t
there is a bond of womanly sympa
thy between them. It is worth while
to show young women the difference
between unwholesome excitement of
an intrigue and the dreams of true
lovers that are ‘‘as sweet as the dew
drops that fall on the roses in May"”
WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR?
Why, because we have been in the
drug business so long that we don’t
know how to do anything else, and
because we love onr calling.
You are cordially invited to drop
into our store, (Gantt's old stand,)
and see for yourselves what a clean
store we are keeping. We need you,
we need your encouragement and
will appreciate your patronage.
Yours for quick service,

COHEN-MILNER.
Miss Virginia Cohen and Mr. Wi!-
lis J. Milner, Jr., were married on
Oct. 31st 1913 at All Saints church
in Atlanta by the rector W. W.
Memminger. Miss Christine Dobbs,
Mr. George Nichols and Mr. Sidney
Gale were the only witnesses. There
was no objection to the marriage of
these young people except their
youth and the fact that Mr. Milner
had not received his diploma from
the School of Technology. They in
tended to announce their marriage
later when Mr. Milner would be
leaving Atlanta to attend a Theolc
gical Seminary. On learning that
he would be asked whether he was
married before he could enter the
seminary he and his bride decided
it would be best to confess to their
parents. As Miss Cohen Mrs. Mil
ner was admired and beloved by
every one who knew her well. She
is a beautiful brunette and has most
charming manners, a sweet disposi
tion, and was known to be a dutiful
daughter. Mr. Milner is in every
way a fine young man who has been
prominent in his school and church
and very popular socially. Mr. and
Mrs. Milner, Sr., will give the bride
and groom a reception on Saturday
evening for their relatives and inti
mate friends. On Friday evening
they will be entertained at dinner
by Mr. Joseph Wilson in Atlanta and
on Thursday by Miss Christine
Dobbs in Marietta.
They are at home with Mr. Mil
ner’s parents at 429 Courtland av
enue, Atlanta.

MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
A GOOD YEARS WORK.
“A work well done is a work well
planned.” So it seems to the women
of the Missionary Society of the
Methodist church, that wise plan
ning and able execution, brought
with the close of 1913, one of the
most successful years in the history
of the Society. In the beginning of
the year the officers met with the
president, Mrs. B. T. Frey, and plan
ned the work for each month. Cir
cles were appointed to look after the
different collections or special funds
to be raised; committees to take
charge of the literary meetings to be
held every third Thursday of each
month; and as much of the other
work planned as could be, withoat
forseeing any difficulties which
might arise.
As a consequence of this efficient
planning, nearly six hundred dollars
has been raised by the different de
partments of the work—Home, For
eign, Young Peoples, Juvenile, Study
Class, Social Service and Parsonage
Aid.
Forty linen pieces, such as tray
cloths, doyles, bureau scarfs, ete.,
were made for the Wesleyan Memor
ial Hospital and two dozen napkins
hemmed and initial embroidered for
Brevard Institute, at Brevard, N. C.
by the Reading Circles, while two
books ‘“The Conservations of Mis
sions”” and ‘““China’s New Day’’ were
being read.
Three large boxes of clothing,
Canned goods, jellies, ete., were sent
to Vashti Home, Decatur Orphanag?,
and to a needy preacher in North
Georgia.
Three meetings were held every
three months, with the exception
of every third one, when there were
four.
The new parsonage was nicely
furnished with everything that
would give comfort and pleasure to
the Pastor and his family.
The annual week of prayer was
held in November, with unusual in
terest manifested. Much spirituali
ty pervaded each meeting. New
members were added and a liberal
contribution received.
All pledges were met and discharz
ed leaving at the end of the year
something in the treasuty.
It is very gratifying to the mem
bers of the Society that at the annu
al election of officers for 1914, only
one change was made.
While the women of the Society
feel very proud of their record for
the past year, they realize that more
could have been done.
So with gratitude to God for His
past mercies and blessings upon thir
work, prayer for guidance thru the
new Year and a reconsecration of
themselves to His work, the Wo
men's Missionary Society of the
Methodist Church enter upon the
year’s work with hearts courageous
to do and dare anything that shall
redound to the honor and glory of
His Kingdom, at home and abroad.

' MARIETTA ROYCROFTERS.
The two big sliding doors in Mr.
Watkins’ shop have recently had
small windows inserted m them and
on one pane the words *“‘come in'
have been painted.
For three years we have been pas
sing those doors and have noticed
two or three men working on wagon
wheels and other parts of venicles
very leisudely and they seemed t) be
repairing broken down things only,
Occasionally to be sure we have
seen in this shop a completed deliv
ery wagon or mail carrier’s cart and
some light one horse wagons witlk.
the names of the makers on one side.
A few days ago we heeded the in
vitation to enter the shop and inter
view the industrious worker who
deserves to rank as a roycrofter
along with Elbert Hubbard's arti
zans in East Aurora, New York.
A roycrafter is simply a craftsman
whose handiwork is fit for a king.
It is a word coming down from
the “middle-ages” when a king was
actually reverenced and only the
best of any thing was set aside for
his use.
Mr. Watkins came to Marietta
from Milton county over 20 years
ago and began to repair vehicles and
build them on Atlanta street near
the post office. His wagons and
buggies were patterned after the ex
cellent example of that wonderful
“Qne—h()ss shay” that was the first
one that did not break down but ac
tually wore out and collapsed all
together.
Mr. Watkins uses seasoned hard
woods, like hickory and white oak,
in constructing the frames and
shafts of his vehicles and light pop
lar for the tops of his delivery wa
gons.
He employs only 4 or 5 men to
assist him in his work and tries to
see how good he can make a wagon
instead of how cheap. He has or
ders now for 6 delivery wagons for
firms in Atlanta alone. His worlk
advertises itself and proclaims the
worth of the craftsman.
There is also a large room in the
rear of the wagon shop in which is
located a blacksmith’s forge where
iron is wrought and horses are shod.
There is a large room wup stairs
where the painting and varnishing
is done.
He is very industrious and consci
entious and receives his reward. He
deserves to rank with the roycrof
ters.
ROBERT BURN'S BIRTHDAY.
As the birthday of Robert Burns
came on Sunday January 25th of
this year, the Burns club celebrat
ed it on Monday evening with a din
ner at the Burns cottage. Among
the speakers was Mr. John M. Gra
ham, of Marietta, who is secretary
of the club. He paid a tribute to
the poet as once of the best beloved
writers ever known. While he was
loyal to his native land as few poets
have been, he is admired and loved
in all countries. Mr. Graham re
ports this celebration as the most
enjoyable one ever held. ;
