Just as socn as the building can
be put in proper condition the vari
ous departments of the city of Ma
rietta will be combined and located
in the Auditorium Building on At
lanta street. The south half of the
building has been rented and the
front will be devoted to the uses of
the city council, police department
and the offices of the Board of
Lights and Waterworks. The rear
of the building will be used by the
Fire Department. This will be a
great convenience for the public as
all affairs between the public and
the city government can then be
transacted at one place. Of course
if you have to face the music in thae
police court you will still have to
call at the old council room in th{
court house. This room is tendered
the city free by the county and as it
is the mcst convenient place for the
police court it will be used for that
purpose. /

STRANGER HAD SUIT
There js something in the way a
man handles a suit case that indi
cates whether it is empty or not.
Tuesday Deputy Sheriff Geo. Hicks
saw a gentleman get off the car
with a suit case, Geo. doped 1t out
that the suit case was empty so he
made a few calculations and man
aged to meet the gentleman a little
later as he was ready to board the
car back to Atlanta. The suit case
was, at that time, apparently being
“handled with care” with top side
up, ete., you know how it should be,
eh? Well, the suit case was far from
empty at that time, and if George
had not been on the job it is very
likely that some other parties who
were empty would have been as full
as the suit case, before long. It also
happened that the jail was not en
tirely full and now the gentleman
is waiting to explain where he got
it and where he was going with
eight quarts of liquor in a suit case,
