Ginners Report Far Behind:
Cotton Holds To High Price
. Cotton, Cotton who’s got the Cot
ton?
With the crop report just made to
Washington by Mr. J. L. Stephens,
enumerator for Ccbb County, show
ing the crop to be 1,602 bales be
hind last year the price of Cotton
toock a little steadier tone. The
price is continuing to advance and
sold in Marietta Wednesday at
17 9-16 ¢. ; :
The report last year, on Septem
ber 25th showed’a total of Z,578
bales ginned up to that time but
this year to the same date only 976
bales had been ginned. This is what
the report of October 2nd showed.
Everybody is hoping that frost
will hold off and hot sunshine con
tinue for a few days longer as it
_means dcllars to every farmer and
business man in the county. It is
apparent that the crop is far short
of anything in recent years and al
though the price is high and seed
are selling for as high as $50.00 a
ton it does not mean that it is aNI
profit.

- will come to a close next Sunday

our readers with a degrze of regret
for the sermons of Dr. Thacker

source of delight % hundreds of
Christian' hearts in Marietta. They
have also won new converts to
Christianity in a most satisfactory
number.
An anique idea has been usad by
Dr. Thacker to secure the names of
the more timid converts and those
who desired to reconsecrate their
hearts to God. A neatly printed
card is passed among the audiz2nce
at each service and the saint or sin-

FATHER'S PORTRAIT
FOR-HON. E. H. CLAY
S o Lol
| AR
Tender memories and higheat as
pirations were awakened . in the
heart of Hon. Herbert Clay last Sat
urday afternoon when a surprise
was given him by ‘a party of his in
timate friends. While he was ming
ling with %fle nsual large crowd that
gathers in Marietta on Saturday and
being congratulated on his re-elec
ticn, these loyal friends took charge
of the Solicitors office and when all
was ready Mr. Clay was ushered in.
As he entered the door from his re
ception room he was® met face to
face with a beautiful oil portrait of
his distinguished father, Hon. A{ex
’ander Stevens Clay. It was both
life siz2 and life like and the dis
?tinguished‘son of that, illustrious
Georgian was speechless before a
gift which he will cherish greater
and greater with the coming years.
But the portrait was not all that
those thoughtful friends had in
store for the object of their devo
tion. As soon as Mr. Clay could
find himself Col. Lindley W. Camp
stepped forward and read the fol
lowing beautiful sentiments: |
WHEREAS, Thousands of friends{
in COBB COUNTY, in the BLUE
RIDGE CIRCUIT, in the STATE OF
GEORGIA, and EVERYWHERE are
desirous of congratulating HER
BERT CLAY on his recent over
whelming victory, and
WHEREAS, in the past he has
always discharged his duties in
public office in a true, honest and
fearless manner, and
WHEREAS, He is a true friend
and richly deserves the honors be
stowed upon him in the past and
it is truthfully said: ;
“There are those who are richer in
( silver and gold,
But fortune has made him amends,
In that she has lavished on him
manifold,
A host of true-blue and tried
friends!”
RESOLVED
By the friends who are deeply
interested in his future and wish
ing to show their appreciation of
him and his friendship do hereby
present this painting of his illus
trious father,
ALEXANDER STEPHENS CLAY,
One of the Nation’s most beloved
and distinguished sons and may the
future career and acts of HERBERT
CLAY ever be guided and patter
ed from those of his beloved fathvr‘
and may his father’'s life and record
always stand put to him as a shin-|
ing axample. .

sympathy with the great masses of
the people, he was especially adapt
ed to the work. While his influence
extended to every corner of the state
it must have been most gratifying
to him for his home (present and
former) counties, Cobb and Hall, to
give such overwhelming majorities
over all opponents combined. .
In the legislature, he is easily one
of its prominent figures, ever at his
post, with an eye single to the best
interests of the state at all times.
His committee assignments attest
the opinion of his ability entertain
ed by the Speaker-—Judictary, Tem
perance and Chairman Penitentiary,
the largest in the House. Interested
in all bills, his greatest interest was
in those advancing education, in
creasing the Confederate pensions,
betterment of conditions for the
working man, and the preservation
of the county unit,
Cobb never had ‘a better repre
sentative in the General Assembly.
A VENERABLE LAWYER
The Quincy, (llls.) Herald ull
Sept. 30th has a pleasant notice ol"
Mr. L. E. Emmons of that ('H_‘»’}
whose wife is a sister of Mrs. H. G. |
Cole of Marietta. Mr. and Mrs. !'}m«g
mons and their daughter, Miss Lil
lie, have made long visits to Mrs.%
Cole and have many friends Iwre.}
The Herald concludes its account
of Mr. Emmons life in Quincy:
“L., E. Emmons, Br., has his eight-}
jeth birthday tomorrow and is still
in harness. He is the oldest prac-l
ticing attorney in this county andi
in fact in this part of Illinois. He
is at his office every day fully en
gaged in the details of his w«)rk‘
and, since a recent illness, in per
fect good health.
“Mr. Emmons came to Quincy
from Marietta, Ga., in 1866, just 50
years ago last May and here he has
lived ever since, He opened a law
office when he got to Quincy and;
has kept it open since, fifty years
of creditable work in the Adams
county bar. In 1875 he formad a
partnership with {he late Senator
Albert Wells who died 1n 1896,
Since then his son, Lawrence Em
mons, Jr., has been associated with
him in his law work.
“Lawrence Emmons, Sr., is wide
ly known throughout this territory
but there are few who realize that
he is 80 years old. From all his
friernds will come the gincerest con
gratviations and good wishes on his
birtoasy sutas 1o
L MAATTIS TR T eee T e
|___COURIER, ESTABLISHED 1901
f On last Thursday morning Thicty
}me'mbers of the Marietta Shrine
club bearded the Dixie Flyer, leav-
Ing Marietta at 8:50 2, m. bound for
lDalton to take part in the big cere
-monial of Yaarab Temple from At
lanta.
The nobles had seats in the obser
vation car and made merry all the
way. Noble J. P, Power, who is
clerk in Supt’s. office in Atlanta
made arrangements for the Dixie
Flyer to stop at Kennesaw and Ac
worth and take on members there,
Everything went fine until Noble
Ellis discovered about twenty of
the nobles were minus green socks,
as the order was given to wear red
ties and green socks. A committee
of three was at once appointed and
they proceeded to take off the shoes
of the nobles minus the green soclks,
remove their socks and throw them
away along the railroad. So the
neblés, twently of them, at least,
arrived in Dalton, sockless.
Before leaving Marietta, Noble
Homer Lewis was ut the depot to
wish the nobles a pleasant trip,
and Noble Frank Dabney suggestad
we make up a purse to take him,
The hat was pagsad, \he money
raised, and a ticket bought. Noble
Baldwin had axtra feszes in his grip
and Homer was placed on the train.
At Elizabeth he was released and
came back to Marietta,
In the observation car, going up,
quite a lot of ladies were on the
train and as soon as the Sock Com
mittee begun to take off the shoes
of the nobles, the Marietta Shrine
club had the car all alone. On ar
rival at Dalton tue club was formed
in line and the six candidates from
Marietta placed in the rear, march
ed up to headquarters, all wearing
yellow badges marked Marietta. The
club was mwet at Dalton by the re
ception committee and a committeé
of ladies. The Marietta ciub ar
rived thirty’ minutes before the
special train from Atlanta.
Noble Stanton Read and Noble
Frank Dabney at once put on po
lice uniforms furnished by Noble
Baldwin and went on duty as traf
fic cfficers there, stopping all autos
and turning them back,
A big barbecue was served at
noon to over 800 shriners. At 4p.
m. the big pérade of Yaarab’s, big
band and patrol and chanters and
the pa',‘rol from Chattanooga fhind
Nobles. The Marietta club had 30
members in line, 63 candidates,
some in iron cages and some in pa
trol wagons. Congressman Gordon
Lee was a candidate and was in the
parade with Potentate Waltepr An
drews, wearing a Hiawathian skirt
of grass, pink tights and red cape.
He looked the part as “chief.”
The ceremonial was staged in a
big tent and the Marietta candidatés
got all that was coming to them,
as Noble Baldwin was on the Stunt
Committee and he saw they were
wall cared for. At six o'cloek a big
banquet was served, The Marietta
club had ordered a sleeper sent
down from Chattanooga in the af
teranocon and at midnight the Nobles
after dancing on the streets retired
tc wake up at home next morning.
The Pullman was put off here.
Some one called over long dis
tance phone at midnight Noble
Homer Lewis and told him to meet
the train at 5:30 the next morn
ing with a cot and a trained nurse,
that Noble Lindley Camp had been
hurt in an auto accident. Omn arriv
ing in Marietta Noble Lewis was
there with the cot and nurse, came
in the Pullman and called foy Lind
ley and Lindley responded ,sayiug
he was 0. K. and the worst part of
it was they made Noble Lawis pay
for a 10 minutes long distanece call,
Noble Lewis is still looking for the
Noble that called him,
All in all, the Marietta club had
a great outing and Noble Tom 'Wal
lace had the time of his life, as us
ual.
CIVIC LEAGUE MEETING
The civie league will meet next
Monday at 4 o'clock in the Clarke
Library. BEvery woman interested
in the final disposition of the car
nival fund is expected to be present
and join in the discussion of this
