ALL COBB COUNTY TO
COME TO MARIETTA ON
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23D
Better Than Any Circus That
You Ever Saw.
A Real Honest to Goodness" Fight
ing Tank. An Airplane VIII Do
Stunts and Brass Band Will Furn-
ish the Music. ..

Do not forget the day, Wednesday,
April 23rd, and arrange now to be
here.
The war boys and the tools they
fought with, will all be here, except
possibly submarine, and if it damp
day we may get one of them.
A real fighting tank, the kind that
went through the German lines,
manned by veterans, will be on hand
to show you just how it was done.
An airplane, possibly several of them,
do some stunts in the air that you
never dreamed of.
A good brass band will furnish
music that will make you feel the fire
of those first war days again, will
bring youth to the tagging footsteps,
and make time fly. Entertainment
for old and young.
DR.. Robert A. Ellwood, whom all
Cobb county folks have learned to
know and to love, will be with us to
dispense his inspirational enthusiasm
to all of us, and will act as master of
ceremonies for part of the time.
Bill Tate Holland has asked the
soldier boys to meet him that morn
ing, in uniform once more, at the
Manning Building on Atlanta street,
and they will stage something of their
own. A lot of the boys are getting
back home now, and we have been
expecting them to get together some
time soon. We understand, however,
that this invitation is to all the boys
who donned the uniform, whether
they got in in time to go over or not,
and we hope they all will get together
that day anyway, if only to join in
parade around the park. The people
want to see them in uniform once
more.
The Victory Loan committee has
arranged to have booth for each of
the 10 districts in the county, ar
ranged in the street, so that each
neighborhood will have it's own circle.
The city schools will be closed, also
all the factories and other business so
far as may be possible and yet provide
for the convenience of the crowd.
There will be nothing compulsory
about this gathering, but it should be
candidly announced that it is the hope
of the committee that the Fifth Vic
tory Liberty Loan will be subscribed
on that day.
The loan will be the last called by
Uncle Sam to pay up the cost of the
war, and bring the boys home. He
has figured out that he will need 3d.
50O,0O0,O0O to do this and the inter
est he offers is four and three-quar-
tiers per cent, very decent interest for
absolute security. The situation is
today much brighter than it has been
in a long time. Business has greatly
revived and the outlook is, for year
Of unusual prosperity.
One more word about the loan. Had
our governme nt not incurred this big
expense, the war might be still in
progress, our list of boys killed might
be ten times what it is, and your taxes
might have been more than doubled
today. Under this statement of &C
tual fact, we do not see how we can
do less than our very best to help all
we can now.
But aside from all that we want
your presence and your good wishes
here on that date. We have not been
able to tell all the program, but it will
be more than sufficient to entertain
YOUR whole family, so bring them.
