TRUCK Line EXPRESS
IS Being ORGANIZED,
Will be Saving to Local Merchants
Considerable Sum on Freight
From Atlanta.

The freight proposition between
Marietta and Atlanta which has long
been a problem may be solved by a
plan now being worked out locally.
A company is being organized and the
stock will be sold to Marietta citizens
at par.
A comparison of the present cost of
getting freight from Atlanta and the
cost under motor system shows a big
saving to the local merchants and
still give profit to the company. Mr..
Thomas L. Dobbins who is organiz-
ing the company states that some Of
the stock has been sold and that the
rest will be sold at par for the present.
When the company is put in opera
ton it will have freight terminal in
each citys With one-ton truck OPP
Grating in each city picking up and
delivering freight and express, also a
three and one-half ton truck making
two round trips daily.
Beginning in Atlanta at Produce
Row at s a. m. the Atlanta local truck
will start picking up all freight and
express, arriving at packing houses at
$50 a. m. and leaving packing houses
at z a. M, visiting wholesale groce-
ries and arriving at Terminal point at
7:45 a. m.
Here the interurban truck will load
on scattered freight and express that
the one-ton truck has picked up that
morning and evening before.
1t will leave for Marietta and all in
termediate points at 8 a. M, arriving
at Marietta at ESQ a. M, making its
circle around the square unloading
and loading its freight and express on
the circles in front of stores of con-
signees.
The truck will leave Marietta at
10:45 a. M. arriving in Atlanta at IL.
This same route will be covered with
an afternoon trip returning to At
lanta for overnight.
This 3 1-2 ton truck body will be
constructed with compartments and
shelves so that the company will be
able to carry the most fragile paroles,
such as candies, cigarettes, millinery,
etc. The other part of the body will
be used for carrying groceries, pro-
duce, fruits, pianos, household goods,
hardware, building material, etc.
1t is felt that this system will be a
great time saver for the shipper and
will enable the purchaser to receive
his goods within few hours after or
ders are placed, with very little ex-
pense.
This will be chartered company of
1000 shares, all of which will be put
on the market at SIS share.

7 GIRLS WIN FROM
GAlNESvILL TEAM.
AL Chance TO Defeat Marietta
Lost by Visitors with Show
of Temper.

Memory of defeat at the hands OF
the Gainesville girls three years ago,
and reports of the strength of this
years team from that city, led many
to fear that the Y. w. C. A, five Of
Marietta would not be able to turn a
victory in Saturday, nights game at
the 'Y'' auditorium.
The speed and accuracy with which
Gainesville passed the ball in the pre-
liminary practice, and the apparent
ease with which a few goals were toss
ed did not increase the confidence of
the Marietta team before the game
started, and when Gainesville shot
the first field goal the hopes of the
Marietta fans were at low ebb.
But as zone swallow does not make
a summer" so does not an Indifferent
start always indicate poor finish. 1t
soon became evident that the Gaines
vile tactics embraced at least small
percentage of football stuff" re-
cognizing which, the Marietta girls
quickly accommodated themselves, as
best they could, to the situation.
|, Now little burst of temper cloud
ed he Gainesville skies, and for the
remainder of the game their "God of
Victory refused to function. A casual
observer would have said that some
of the Gainesville girls were accustom-
ed to having their own way, and sue
cessful opposition, not only served
to Danish the smiling confidence, but
to render uncertain both foot work
and judgement of play. The result
was never more in doubt, and end
ed in rs to 10 victory for Marietta.
On the local team the play Of Boat
ner, Mahoney and Parks, deserve
especial mention, although all the
team did very creditable work.

PENNY COLLECTIONS
PAY FOR new BOOKS


The Clarke library, not being in q
financial position to supply Marietta
people with new fiction, and wishing
very much to place the recent novels
within easy reach of everyone wishing
to read them, has decided to put in a
"pay collection charging just one
penny day for the books until their
cost is covered, when they will put on
the library's regular shelves, where
books are borrowed free.
Rules covering the collection will be
that book may be borrowed at IA
penny day up to one week; beyond
the seven days there will be fine of
two cents day. Of course book bor-
rowed one day and returned the next
will cost one penny. If book is bor-
rowed and returned the same day, one
penny will be charged.
We hope, through this means, to
add the most of the up-to-date fic-
ton to our shelves within reasonable
length of time; for, as above stated,
as soon as the cost of the book is
covered, it will be loaned free, exact
ly as other books are now loaned.
The following titles are in the "pay
collection" and are now on the shelves
ready for circulation: The Valley of
Silent Men by Oliver Curwood; Krind-
red of the Dust by Peter B. Kyne;
