Marietta is in fine shape to get eitner the great Military Training camp that it has been after so har(}, or if the camp is not estabhshed. I.t‘ is more than likely tnat a mobili sation camp will be establishedi right away at the Kennesaw Moun tain site. 1 A delegation consisting of Wm. Tate Holland, T. L. Wallace, J. R. Brumby, Jr., J. W. Hancock, E. P, Dobbs, D. C. Cole, H. H. Clay and Fred Morris left last Saturday for Washington City in the hope of se curing the encampment. Tney sound after a careful investigation that the entire matter had been left in the hands of General Leonard wood and ne was at Governor’s Island, N. Y., It was then decided that a committee should go on to that place and have a conference | with General Wood and the latestl word from them Wednesday nigat was that the conference had beenl very satisfactory. The delegation saw senators Hoke Smith and T. W. Hardwick ' and Congresman Gordon Lee and Hon. Wm. J. Harris, all of whom did ev ervthing tney could to aid them in securing the camp. Atlanta has already been named as supply headquarters for the foutheast and it is quite likvlyl that either in or near Atlanta taoe | training camp or the mobilization camp will be established. ' If the mobilization camp is es—[ tablished at Atlanta it is hardly ’l:r bable that all tne troops ecan bel accomodated there and an overflow camp of probaßly twenty thousandl may be placed at Kennesaw Moun- ! tain, . l COLORED PASTOR URGES ‘ PATRIOTISM AMONG NEGROES‘ . l ~Rev.

COURIER, ESTABLISHED 1901 ( y IBIG BUY-AT-HOME Leading Woman’s Magazine To Benefit Local Merchants f Tne *“Buy-at-Home” Movement in ‘Marietta has been joined by a migh ty ally. Our local merchants and associations have been pushing it for years, with more or less suc cess. And during an equal length of time out-of-town trade tarough adverising in the magazines, which 20 into our homes, and through tae subsequent distribution of their own catalogues direct to Marietta people, y Up to now, the “Buy-at-Home' movement has been conducted sole ly along community lines. It has had no aid from national sources. It is tnerefore particularly cheer ing news to learn that The Deline ator, sold through Smith & Potts Company, local agents for the mag azine and for Butterick Patterns. has thrown tane full weight of itg tremendous influence on the sido of the local merchant—the man who pays taxes here, employs neigh bors and friends, and helps build up the town generally. Beginninz with the April issue, on sale March 10tn, The Delineator eliminated from its advertising columns the announcements of all mail-order houses. It is understood that this step has been taken at a loss to tae pub lishers of hundreds of thousands of dollars, a sacrifice that works in the interest of the local merchant, wno will directly benefit through The Delineator’'s sending customers into his store rather than to dis tant mail-order houses. We there fore believe that the tendency in tnis town will be to support the Di lineator heartily. The only way the magazine can recoup any part of its loss in revenue is through more loral subscriptions and more adver tising from national manufacturers Such support, we belieye, ws readily fortncoming, The interest of The Delineator and the taxpayers of this town are identical in this respect. Reciprocity is necessary to insure the prosperity of each. K. P. ELECTS OFFICERS. Monday night the following of ficers were elected by the Knigats of Pythias: W. T. Potts, Chancellor Comman der, J.
