The Southeastern Land Show to be held at the Auditorium in At janta, February 1 to 15, 1917, is as suming proportions vastly beyond the expectations of the management and indications point to an atten dance of one hundred thousand peo ple at the show during tae two weeks of its operation. The action of the U. S. Govern ment in granting the request of ,and Show Officials for the govern ment exhibit, the unusual co-oper ~tion of tne railroads and the re markably low excursion rates put on for the Show, together with the strong backing to the Show by the State officials of . Georgia, Florida, Alabama and South Carolina, will make it a truly notable event. SPLENDID EXHIBITS. The State of Florida will be rep resented by a striking series of ex hibits, exploiting Jacksonville, Pa latka, Fort Myers and a number of other sections of the Stats. The Department of Agriculture of Flori da is also considernig an exhibit. Several leading railroads ‘of phe section have taken space at - the show and will have attractive ex bibits, : | FOR LANDS. | The Land Showwill be a market | place where land owners and agents in the Southeast may meet and trade with people desiring to pm‘-Q chase property as a. matter of in vestment or for occupation and use.j It will provide a place where they y imay obtain all the necessary in formation, and consumate the pur hase of farms of from ten to one thousand acres, in any part of the four states, at moderate prices and i reasonable terms.

Those who were present at Miss Regina Rambo’s recital of Interpre tative Dancing and Expression on last Friday evening enjoyed tne most artistic spectacle ever present ’ed to a Marietta audience. Of the programme consisting of 21 num bers it was difficult to choose the star as each pupil acquitted herself so creditably. There were charming little solo duo and group dances, furnishing a va ‘riety of subjects and an opportunity ffor expressing a wide range of emo tion. - The music ete., all classical, Helen Dumas, at piano. The programme opened witn a fantastic little Goblin dance with appropriate costumes of woodsy greens and yellows. Then followed a solo dance by Miss Lois Gardner, interpreted most gracefully. Miss Rambo’s Spanish dance was full of vivacity and her beautiful costume of black and orange created a .Span ish atmosphere. Every one was canarmed with littla Alice Dewar’s interpreta tion of Bird - Play in a cun ning little costume. - Miss Sa rah Wood Gramling showed dra matic talent in her portrayal of Narcissus. One does not need to be a critic to appreciate the beauti ful technique of the Rondo Capric cioso as danced by Miss Rambo. Th: audience was completely captivated by Le Secret dance by Nancy Bos ton, M. L. Brumby, Ida Belle Hunt, and Lucy Tate and the Wood Nympa and the Bird by Lucy Cole was very attractive. In the Statue Miss Rambo por trayed in a very realistic way the change of a beautiful pieca of sculp ture to life and again returning to the statue. The Baccahanall inter pretating the autumn spirit was given with joyous revelry by ten of the large giris. In a guaint lit tle costumz and waite hair M. L. Brumby charmed with the C(o -quefte. Perhaps the most piquant number on the programe was the Love of Pierrot and Pierrette by Miss Rambo and Lucy Cole. Their costumes of black and white woare relieved by tae flaming red rose given to Pierrot by Pierrette. With vivid rose scarf Constance Couper showed real talent in her interpra tation of the Scarf Dance. One sees an artist in the making when they see the poise and grace of Ida Belle Hunt. In costumes of draped white satin trimmed wita silver leaves the pupils carying wreaths of morning glories were exquisite in the moonlight of the | Barcarolle. The tableau 1'0]1()\\'111;'! was a fitting eclimax. : i There were interesting rmuling's{ given witn poise and charm of a more experienced reader by ?\liss;‘s; Mary Bird and Lucy Tate and )»lur}‘; Holland. Miss Rambo showed uni unusual side of the negro character | in Lucky Jim. | Life studizs by Miss Rambo and M. L. Brumby were especially e‘.r«;: joyable, | The setting of the stage ropre-{ sented a pergola over which cham- | bered and hung vines neavy \\'ilhg bright hued morning glories. 'l'hej colored electric and flood lights es- | pecially put in for the occasion; fur- | nished wonderful light effect, were | efficiantly managed by the stage electrician, Miss Emma May Ram-% bo. i Tne wonderiul progress made h,\'i the pupils under Miss Rambo’s in struction shows how thZrough she is in her instruction and how well qualified she is to teacn as she has spent most of her life studving the arts, music, expression, all of which combined with a pliable bedy are raquired to render tne art of Inter prétative Dancing in its highest de gree. Atlanta is the only place in the south where this art as it should be is taught and Marietta is most a Diamond Ring. The special State Prizes will be either money, loving cups or silver services. A Great-Grand Prizz of intermin able value is quite within the range of possibilities. Who can predict where tne lightning may strike and reveal the presence of another Mary Pickford or Hazel Dawn, to enthrall the world’s millions with their de lightful gracz and aistronic power? It has been made known that a number of managing directors of the big film companies of the coun try will be present at the contes§ for the purpose of making selec tions from among the most conspic uously successful competitors. ANID COURIER MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12th, 1917. City Refuses To Let Kennesaw Paper Company Remove Mains | One of the hottest discussions | that has been held in some time was caused Tuesday night in the city council by a petition filed by Wil liam Niller, trustee for the bond holders of the Kennesaw Paper Company, te remove from the city of Marietta the water mains of that company. Mr. Niller’'s petition was based on tne ground that the company was losing money on its property in Marietta and that they could sell the pipe at a good price | now while “junk’ is high anqg |thereby realize sometning on their investment. Before the discussion was open ed a committee of citizens asked | permission to discuss the matter lwith the council as they felt that Marietta was facing a serious cri lsis. Taey had been to see Mr. Nil |ler in Atlanta and had secured from { him an cption to buy the Kenne saw plant on tneir own resources. They had done this, it was explain ed, because they felt that to allow ]the Kennesaw plant to be removed from Marietta would leave tne city lwithout adequate water supply. They did not seek personal gain but merely time in which the city could deliberate on the proposition of a suitable water supply. "he discus- Ision waxed warm and was finally ' referred to a committee consisting of Councilmen Hodges, McCleskey and Welsh to be reported to anoth er meeting of the council set for Wednesday at noon. At the meeting on Wednesday the committee reported a recommenia tion that the petition be denied, land this report was supplemented by a minority report from Mr. Me !(‘,leskey setting for certain restric }tion as to bond and condition of streets and time in which the work ’should be done. Then followed more not discus sion. Citizens and councilmen both —_— NEGRO HANGED IN ; PECULIAR WAY, Atlanta, Ga., January SBth-—A negro living near Lick Log Gap was recently fmnged while stealing the fresh-cleaned carcass of a hog, ac cording to a prominent North Geor gia citizen bringing the report of the case to Atlanta. The nog had been Kkilled znuli cleaned and hung out for the night Next morning the owner of the hog discovered it missing and started | out to -trail the thief. About a‘ mile from the pouse he found the | hog hanging on one side of a ln'gh‘ fence and the nezro thief hanging on the cther side, tne negro as dead | as the hog. ‘ In climbing the fence with the hog on his shoulder, according tz;l the report, the negro had let tae gambrel stick ship and it had fallen cver his head and snapped his neck in a trap in the twinKling of an aye. fcrtunate in being tne only. small town in the south where such an exhibition has been given.

HOLLAND & McCLESKEY, ATTORNEYS 2 REYNOLDS BUILDING, MARIETTA, GA. taking part until Mayor Brumby had to call for order several times. While th: committe recommend ed that the Niller petition be re fused, Mr. Welsn moved that some effort should be made to take aaq vantage of tne option on the Ken nesaw plant and after much dis cussion and many propositions he moved that the citizens commit tee proposition to the council be accepted. This was carried by a vote of councilmen Groves, Black, Welsh and McCleskey. Mr. Hodges and Mr. Wallace asked that their reasons for voting against the move be incorporated in the minutes—— that they did not want to set a ltime for Mr. Niller to move his plant until some definite under standing had been reached. The meeting then adjourned. The crowd had hardly reached the sidewalk, however, when Mr. Groves found that he had misun derstood the proposition and wished to change his vote. The meeting then re-assembled, without Mmr, Hodges who gone back to his busi ness, and the discussion re-opened, The entire matter was reconsidered ‘and Mr. Groves’ vote changed. This lcaused a tie and Mayor Brumby tvoted with Mr. Groves, thereby re fusing both the petition of Mr. Nil ler and the citizens committee. The citizens committee then an nounced that they would have noth ing more to ao with the matter. It is now planned to try to make arrangements whereby the Kenne saw Company can be compelled to continue the operation of its plant here. Just what the plan is we arz not at liberty to say as it might cause complications that would in terfere with it. And of course we are &l working for the best inter ests of Marietta. We hope to be able to give the details of this plan next week. e e COBB COUNTY'S SYSTEM THE BEST.

DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY Capt. William Wilson, custodian of the National Cemetery in Mari etta has taken up with the U. S. Department of Entomology the causes of the tress in the cemetery dying out. He gives us tne fol lowing information which might be of interest to any one who finds the trees on their premisss in the fgame condition. Tine most serious trouble, the i(lop:n'tnwnt says, is the slow dy ing of the oaks caused by the com !hiuml attacks of certain roothoring insects, a root disease, and bark beetles in the branches. Our recom mendations are to promptly dispose of all dying and dead trees during the winter. On those trees where only a branch or part of the tree dies, tnese branches alone should be removed and a heavy application ' of lime worked into the soil over the l roots. Any further information desired 'nm the subject can be had by writ ing to A. D. Hopkins, Forest Ento mologist, Washington, D. (.
