Newspaper Page TextPage Two GREAT MEETING AT - THE COURT HOUSE Everybody Come. No Reserved Seats. Army Band—Men From the Front to Speak. All is arranged for a great meet ing at the Court House on Tuesday evening next at 7:30 o’clock. Don’t forget the day, March 12th. The Army Band will be here to Jead the way to meeting. And the band will play several numbers dur ing the meeting. From Camp Gordon we have se cured a French officer who has seen service at the front, and he i to be the first speaker. He will give us the “dope” about the unspeakable German first hand. He has stood in the trenches and has faced our ene my, and the enemy of liberty-loving peoples. : Next on the program will be an English Army officer. He also will give us an account of his experience at the front. We read the papers; but that is not like hearing a man talk who has ‘“seen it and done it himself” England and France have stood between us and the World curse. Let us hear these men tell a bout it. Next on the program will be Mr. J. Q. Nolan. If you have not heard him and would like to know whether he has “got the goods”, ask some of the boys from the new school who heard him speak two weeks ago. They wanted to raise the roof. Kaiser Bill would not have stood a chance] if those fellows could have gotten to him then. And perhaps Mr. Hugh Richardson of the Atlanta office will be on hand. He is one of the best who is giving his time to the country’s cause. The meeting will not drag. It will be to the point. It will be an ar tillery charge. Let all pro-Ameri-l eans give a rousing cheer for the gunners. l COUNTY PURCHASES ‘ NEW REO TRUCK On Tuesday evening just before the adjournment of the county com missioners, by a unanimous vote, a Reo Truck was purchased from Mr. Ralph Northcutt, for a road gang car, and for transporting supplies to the camps. The matter had been taken up at the meeting last month but no action was taken at that time, and when it came up again at this meeting there was some hot competition for this sale. Mr. Northcutt had the ‘car in, stock and ready to deliver, and with a goed array of local users of Reo Trucks to testify to its merits, he secured the sale. The price was $1290 ready for service. | _— | MRS. SARAH BERRY COOPER. | Died, on March Ist, 1918, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. J.

Mrs. DeLaye is a native of Cobb <ounty, and has many friends and ~ xelatives here who extend .faympatln"l ‘ CHURCH DRIVE. " The Presbyterian Church is making ;’a most systematic and business like Icampa.ig'n to raise that three million l dollars. We print below a letter which is being sent all members of the local church, and the word has been passed around that there must not be any “slackers’’. “We can do it and we shall do it” is the best way to express it. To the Members of the Presbyterian ' __Church, Marietta, Ga. ' The Southern Presbyterian Church has started a campaign with the ob rject of raising $3,000,000 for the 'benevolent causes, which, with our ‘regular annual expense of $5,5611.00, ‘makes a total of $8,511.00 which we must raise for all purposes for the year commencing April Ist, 1918, and ending April Ist, 1919, to be paid weekly, monthly or quarterly as you may prefer. Total amount raised last year $5,500.00. Necessary increase $3,000.00. Can we do it? YES. Will we do iti That depends on what you and every other member of our church are willing to do, what sacrifice you will make for the Master’s work. Our pastor is responsible for the amount to be raised in the Cherokee Presbytery, viz: $28,000.00. Will his own church fall short |of their amount? Ido not think so. The subscription will be taken at the eleven o’clock service Sunday, March 17th, not only here but over the entire Southern church. We want every member present at that service. Make your plans now to be there, and come prepared to make just as large a subscription as you can. Every member is expected to do his or her part and each will have the opportunity. Think it over—talk it over—do it. Sincerely yours, A. V. CORTELYOU, Local Manager. W. E. EDMONSTON DIES; | WAS NATIVE OF GEORGIA W. E.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. G. G. Sydnor, of Rome, will occupy the pulpit of the Presbyterian 'Church, both morning and evening. A quartette from the artillery camp will sing at the morning service. Dr. Patton, who is on the mission of the ‘“three million dollar drive” will fill the pulpit of Dr. Sydnor at Rome on Sunday. ~ On last Sunday he presented this cause to encouraging congregations at Cartersville in the morning and at Rockmart in the evening. He wishes us to state that the re ports coming in of the work being done, and the interest manifested, is indeed most encouraging. Everywhere the disposition seems to be to assume this most important 'obligation in the proper spirit, and to go about meeting it in a forceful and business like way. COLORED MEN WILLING. When the local board came to check up the men on the last call, for which 27 colored men were to respond, thirty-one men answered the call. This was an unusual situation, as the four extra men were also ready and anxious to go to Camp Gor don. The board however could not take them now, but put them at the head of the waiting list. THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER DRAINAGE LAW PLAN IS PROPOSED FOR ROAD SYSTEM Continued From Page One. o e e e it Commissioners should be elected by the owners of the land affected as is provided by the drainage laws, who shall have the supervision of the building of the road by contract, the sale of bonds, etc. Authority should also be given the commissioners to make additional assessments in the land district at any time necessary to keep the road in proper repair after its construction. The county authori ties in which such roads are built should be required at the expense of the county to grade the road for the permanent improvement. When a road district is established provision should be made that the property in the district affected should be re lieved from the county tax assess ments for road improvement in pro portion to their respective assess ments, that is, property in class A cshould be relieved entirely, B eighty per cent, C sixty per cent, D forty per cent, and E twenty per cent. This law should also provide that all funds for the building of perma nent roads derived from the national government should be apportioned to the districts building permanent roads of this character. The law should be so framed as to require small towns and cities to pay their prorata part for extending the public highway through the incorporate limits thereof. Under this plan if the necessary majority co-operated together under the petition a permanent road could be built from state line to state line, from county line to county line, or from one section of a county to the other. It would make it possible for the majority to force the minority to co-operate and build permanent roads from one end of the state to the other and when once started there would be an inducement for the form ation of districts and building of pub lic roads in every community to con nect with others already built. As the roads would greatly enhance the value of the properties of the dis trict it should be provided, as is pro vided in the drainage laws, that the bonds shall be a superior lien to ev erything except state and county tax se on the property affected. Many details, such as are provided for in the drainage laws, giving the proper ty owners the right to appeal from any assessment made against them, etc., should be embraced in the per manent road law. In holding court I have recently been charging the grand jury con cerning this.plan, and I find the pro perty owners in the rural districts intensely interested in the proposi ‘tion. I ask that you give it publi “city so that the public and the mem ‘bers of the general assembly may ensider it. i Yours very truly, N. A. MORRIS. A FARM PAPER. No bank tries to run without pa pers on banking, no business is op erated successfully that does not talk trade papers, and no farmer should try to do without a good farm pa per. We have arranged to give you the best farm paper we know of, the best one for this section, ‘“The Progres sive Farmer,” with The Marietta Journal for one year for $1.75, and in addition to this we give you Prof. Massey’s Garden Book for the South ern States.
