Newspaper Page TextThe Marietta Tonrnal JOURNAL, ESTABLISHED 1866 VOL. 51. Appropriate Exerc'lses Held Saturday Morning By Many Citizens At high noon Saturday, July 28th, 1617, Judge N. A. Morris held Mayor Brumby’s five year-old daughter, Marianne, in his arms, as he clo‘s.e.d nis speech, so all the assembled citi sens could see the dainty httle. maid who was to place the first brick of Marietta’s paving in place. It was a golden brick, “solid gold,” figura sively speaking, and was placed on the car track where Anderson street crosses Atlanta street in front of the Methodist church and thd post-of fice. The Mayor’s daughter was the cen ter of attraction looking like a tiny princess in white with a bow of pink <atin ribbon crowning her long plonde curls. In behalf of the city the judge pressed a fervent kiss upon (.ne“uf the plump little cheeks before he placed the silver trowel and ‘the golden brick in the tiny hands. Her father and mother stood near and the members of the city council and other city fathers surrounded them while all stood at attention until the cama ras had clicked. 5 The first speech was by Col. J. Z. Foster and was so appropriate and fine in every way it is worthy to be kept as an illumination for this nota ble chapter in Marietta’s history. It is published herewith. Judge Morris’ speech was a tri bute to the mayor’s wisdom and’% courage in insisting upon transform-[ ing the streets from mud and dust into clean, firm highways that can be traversed in comfort and confi dence. Every remark he made was‘ in the superlative degree, that Mari etta, for instance, was the best town in the state and Jim Brumby the best mayor in the world and deserv ing to be mayor as long as he wished to be or could be made to be. l Every one witnessing the flash of that tiny trowel in the July sunshine felt it was an up-to-date magic wand that had touched the town and rous ed it from slumber. To the strenu ous and persistent efforts of the game little mayor Judge Morris gave the glory. Mr. Len Baldwin presented the trowel to Marianne and suggested the formal laying of the first brick With speeches, in a central and con- Spicuous place. A great many ladies stood in po- Siion to hear the addresses although f;w could see the actual ceremony. Among those present was Marianne’s Grandmother Nichols smiling happi ly. One of the most enthusiastic and Persistent of the sight-seers was the dusky maid who had nursed Mayor Brumby in his infancy and was ex (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX.) : e It Is Logical - in choosing a Bank to entrust with handling your financial matters—other things being equal—to select one that af : fords the most satisfactory service.

Butner, of Powder Springs, came back a few days ago from a fishing trip to Florida bring ing a photograph of a Jew fish and the group of five men who landed him after an hour’s fight. The fish was six feet seven and a half inches long and five feet and two inches in cir cumference at it’s largest measure, and weighed 450 pounds. It is a smooth looking fish but when one of its scales is held up to the light it shows a lady’s white pleated skirt and so the fish is called a Jew be cause of that sign of a ready made garment. The capture was made in Indian River near Coronado Beach opposite New Smyrna on Tuesday July 24th at half past 8 a. m. The bait was live crabs and a hook was used of immense size' with a rope 200 feet long attached for a fishing ine. This hook was dropped off the pier into the water by Mr. J. B. Ca]kins, of Alpha, 111. When the big fish had taken the hook with its wriggling crabs, Mr. John L. Butner climbed down under the pier and fastened two more hooks with a gag pole ten feet long to which a rope 200 feet long was attached in the fish's mouth. EUHARLEE FARMERS CLUB l PASSES THROUGH COUNTY The Euharlee Farmers Club pass led through Cobb county this week on their way to Athens to visit the lState Agricultural College. They were met and escorted by Dr. D. E. ’Sawyer, county demonstrator, and stopped to see the Kennesaw Moun 'tain Dairy farm of Mr. R. H. North cutt, the Hereford cattle of Mr. Mills 'McNeel, Mr. J. T. Anderson, and Mr. W. L. Florence. They expressed a fine opinion of these model farms and ‘also appreciation of the entertain ment show them. The party was composed of Pres. H. H. Milam, C. H. Cox, County a gent, J. W. Jackson, Supt. of schools, Miss Jessie Burtain, home depart ment agent and Misses Eva Jolly, Mary Kate Rogers, Ethel Mostella, Emma Kennedy, Mrs. Hugh McGow- Mrs. Geneva‘Greene, Mrs. J. W. Ken nedy, Mrs. C. H. Cox and two chil dren, Miss Mary Lou McGowan, Mrs. F. W. Dent, and Messrs. G. B. Ken nedy, C. Head, Frank Jolly, J. W. Jackson, B. J. Davis, Jim Davis, John Spruell, M. E. Grogan, Pau! Dodd, D. Towerly, O. F. Kay, R. 8. Nelson, W. D. McGowan, J. W. Kay, A. R. Butler, F. W. Dent, T. W. Taylor, Elston Kay, Felton Kay, J. C. Jolly, J. T. Whiterden, King Milam, C. P. Baley, Henry Mabren, R. J. Owens, and Walt. Kennedy. | ~ Thus hampered the big fish fought ‘and resisted capture for an hour but was finally towed upon the bank by ﬁae five men in a boat combining their wits and strength against the scaly monster. It was given to a local fish dealer after its picture had been made and was hung up and skinned like a beef. The dealer sold $2O worth of steak from this sea faring “Jew” whose ribs were as large as those of a cow. Mr. Calkins, who planned to catch that immense fish'is 65 years old. The others who joined him in the sport are Mr. T. N. Butner, of Ocoee, Fla., who is spending a month at Coro nado Beach, Mr. John L. Butner, of Powder Springs, Mr. P. N. Corn wel and Mr. Harold Evans, of Flori da. At the same time this party caught a small shark. While the big fish was in the hands of the photographer he made about $2O ta king pictures of tourists posed be side it who wished to take souvenirs of fishing in Florida waters home to their friends and photographes are S 0 convincing. Marietta and Cobb County have many valiant fishermen whose tro phies are well worth cherishing but a fish of 450 pounds is certainly some fish.
