SIGNS OF CLEARING

The weather for many weeks has
been too miserable to talk about, not
withstanding numerous illusions to
same, but at this time it looks like
we might be due for fair and balmy
period. !. ~
We do not claim any weather
knowledge, but we reason it out on
the principle of general average.
Besides that we have at least secpred
a reasonable supply of coal and wood,
and in the nature of things perverse,
we may not need them when we have
them.
The merchants are looking for a
better trade on Friday and Saturday,
and we hope also that some of our
friends will find the Journal Office.
The paving gang on Atlanta street
has begun paving operations again,
the wires are all working, and trains
running so we hope for better things.

for more progressive and determined
work in the sale of thrift stamps.

Marietta Journal will be found no
tice of the stores and banks where
Thrift Stamps may be found any day
in the week; but on each Tuesday
for the next few weeks there will be
two ladies in eight of the business
houses who will take pleasure in
explaining to those who wish to buy
stamps exactly what the stamps are;
what work they are helping in when
they buy stamps, the security behind
thrift stamps, and the advantages
both to the buyer and the govern
ment in having them sold.
Two places on each side of the
square will be selected each Tues
day, alternating until all has had one
or more days attendance.
People who wish to invest small
amounts in such, a way as to help in
the war, and at the same time have
an interest-bearing loan, should in
vestigate the thrift stamp.
Help the ladies' who have under
taken this patriotic work make the
effort a success.

The withholding of the honor is due
Mr.. Pennel's friends said, to the con-
tloversy between the artist and the
Philadelphia Art Club. He was asked
to resign from the club, it is under
stood, because of his open anti-English
opinions.

Germany.
But this King. of the Oldest and pur-

at that time didn't show much love
to the sovereign. And the King, in
