Newspaper Page TextPage Two Marietta Lady was on Ship The Germans Sank in South Atlantic Would you believe there is now in Marietta a Georgia lady who has re cently escaped from the clutches of a German warship? That has been the experience of Mrs. Preston Ram bo who recently came from Brazil and it happened on account of the complacency natural to all English men she thinks. She was sailing happily to New York on a fine new British ship in which she had voyaged so delight fully on her last trip from New York to Rio de Janiero. To be sure there were hostile vessels abroad in the ocean but the captain assured his passengers that a British cruiser would convoy his boat until he had passed into the zone of safety. But alas! the cruiser that overtook him by swift steaming bore the ominous name of Karlsrhue. If the English boat had been with in three miles of the South-Ameri can shore when the Karlsrhe sighted it there would have been no danger of capture. It could not, however, change its course without being fireq ‘ on by the hostile cruiser. When the German Captain cama to the English boat he declared it was his duty to sink it although he regretted very much to do it. He kept his captive standing still under the heat of the equator wuntil ha could transfer the passengers, crew and pantry supplies to a small boat which would take them back to shore. Mrs. Rambo had with her trunks a 500 pound bag of coffee she in tended for her sisters here but had to leave it on the English boat. The passengers were mostly Yankees, famous the world over as souvenir fiends, and they had leave to se cure anything they liked before em barking on the smaller boat. And one man, member of a volunteer fire department somewhere in the states, took some brass nozzles from the ship’s fire-fighting equipment. Mrs. Rambo took two pieces of serving silver while her maid accept ed a lot of fine towels. 1t is believed that the courteous treatment of the English ship by the Germans may have been due to tha fact that most of the passergers were ‘“‘subjects’” of the starry banner with blue and red stripes on a white ground. Mrs. Rambo says the war in Eu rope is crippling business in Prazil whicii "epends on France and Ger many for so many things. Maay m>n of those nations have left their homeg and occupation in Brazil to join the armies in their native lands. She algso thinks the war will last two or three years and alth nzh the Germans are the best fighters and best prepared for the corflict the allies will be victorious even tuallv, MR. LEON COMMERFORD COSTODIAN OF CEMETFRY. Mr. Leon Commerford has been appointed temporary superintendon of the National cemetery here to fill the place of his father.

Mr. J. C. Nicholson, of Blackwells, was in town Monday and called to see us. As we chanced to be discus sing the corn-clubs and their prize winning boys he said: “The Allred farm, on which 227 bushels of corn were gathered from one acre, is na turally about as rich as land can be and if that much corn can be raised anywhere it was raised on that farm. I lived as a boy with my grand fa ther, Mr. William Bearden, in that neighborhood and have plowed the land myself. It lies along Sharp Mountin Creek among the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is a valley over which the creek stands after hard rains. It is bottom land that is always moist and the roots of the corn can strike deep and al ways find refreshment. It is irri gated occasionally by overflowing creeks and is ideal land. I remem ber my grandfather once gathered 760 bushels of corn from a field of 11 acres. Mr. Phinizy declared no 227 bushels could be raised on noa irrigated upland. The Allred boys had bottom land, fertilized, and had rains beside the constant moisture of the creek.” Piles Cured in 6 to 14 Days Your druggist will refund money if PAZO OINTMENT fails to cure any case of Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protruding Pilesin 6to 14 days.
