TOMATO GROWERS
Can GET Cash FOR
CROP IN MARIETTA
Florida Firm Will Have Repre-
sentative Here to Buy 500
Crates Each Week

Mr.. c. M. Head came into the
Journal Office today with an interest
ing proposition for the farmers or
gardeners of this section who will have
tomatoes to sell this summer.
Mr.. Head has had the matter up
with a Florida concern which will
send a man here within a few DAYS
to investigate the situation and see
If profitable business can be ar
ranged for this section.
The Florida firm wants to buy to-
matoes a few days before they get
ripe and ship them to Florida. The
Atlanta market for ripe tomatoes will
govern the price paid for green to-
matOes IN Marietta and cash will be
paid the farmers on delivery at Mar
ietta.
In order to make the business prof
liable 500 crates of tomatoes will
have to be delivered in Marietta each
week. A partial inspection of the
county shows that about 60 acres are
known to be cultivate with tomatoes
with an approximate 40 additional
acres in sections not visited.
Mr.. Head asks that any farmer in
terested in disposing of his tomatoes
for cash will please get in touch with
him at an early date so that definite
plans can be made when the repre-
sentative from the Florida house
comes back to Cobb county next
week. Mr.. Head states that he has
been doing some business with the
firm for the past several years and
that they are reliable and mean bust
ness.
If the business is made profitable
this year Mr.. Head states that the
firm will be ready to sign a contract
for several car loads a week for next
year.

MARIETTA TRUST
GETS REFUND FOR
OVER PAID TAXES
$8,91o.31 Returned by the Govt
for Over Paid Income Taxes
for the Last four Years

Mr.. G. P. Reynolds, liquidating
agent for the Marietta Trust and
Banking company, announced that he
had received check from the Treas
ury Department of the government a
check for $8,910.31, representing the
over payment of the income tax for
the years 1917 to 1920.
Shortly after the bank was turned
over to Mr.. t. r. Bennett, State Sup
erintendent of Banks, claim was
filed by his department for a refund
of income taxes, and the matter has
been vigorously pushed by Messrs.
Fred Morris and Herbert Clay, at
torneys for the liqudating agent, to
a successful conclusion.
1t was an agreeable surprise that
the collection was made in so short
a period, and for such a substantial
amount. The bank has already paid
a dividend of 80 per cent altogether,
and this collection will help very much
toward paying another dividend.
The injunction, which was to be
heard by Judge Jones, of Gainesville,
Ca, on last Saturday, was continued
to be heard at some future date.

BOARD ELECTS MRS. R. H.
HUTCHINSON PRINCIPAL
WATERMAN ST. SCHOOL

Mr.. c. A. Keith, Superintendent of
the Public Schools, announced yes
terday that the Board of Education
has appointed Mrs. r. H. Hutchinson
as principal of the Waterman Street
School. The board has certainly made
good choice as Mrs Hutchinson is
one of the finest educators in the
state.
Before her marriage Mrs. Hutche-
son was one of the best teachers in
the local public schools. However,
since her marriage she has taught a
select private school in her home, for
backward children and has had ex-
ceptionally good success in this work.
Mrs. Hutcheson will take the place
vacated by Mrs. H. c. Dobbs, who
has accepted position with the Geo.
Muse Company, of Atlanta. Mrs
Dobbs had a very successful admins
tration last year and many people
are sorry to see her leave but rejoice
that such an efficient teacher as Mrs
Hutcheson will take her place.

Bill is Introduced in
The House to Give $3.50
to Confederate Gently

A bill was introduced in the house
last Friday to appropriate $3.50. 90
for the upkeep of the confederate
cemetery here. The sponsors of the
bill do not expect opposition to the
bill other than the usual opposition.
The money is much needed as the
cemetery is one of the show-places of
Marietta and since the nation keeps
the National cemetery in such splen-
did shape, the Confederate cemetery
looks pretty bad. For the past seve-
raj years the cemetery has been kept
up by individual donations and $3.50
secured from the state several years
ago. This $3.50 is part of thous-
and dollar appropriation and the
present bill is to get the rest. A re-
port on the action Of the committee
is expected in the next few DAYS.

.ACWORTH FALLS
BEFORE LOCALS
IN -FOUR FRAMES
Nothing But Rain Could Stop the
Marietta Boys. Final Score
Was 5 to /

The locals were getting sweet re-
venge Wednesday afternoon when old
man Jupiter Pluvius butted in and
saved Acworth from getting what
was coming to her. Our boys were
going good at the end of the fourth
when rain put stop to the act.
The home boys solved the delivery
of Duncan early in the game, and
had started after Compton. Part
of the blame for the defeat goes to
the poor support given the Acworth
pitcher. Morris, pitching for the To-
Gals, was in great form.
Marietta will play Acworth again
Friday; and Dallas at Dallas, on Sat
urday.
Marietta lost to Ball Ground Satur-
day afternoon, at Ball Ground, by
the score of 10 to 9. 1t took ten in
nings for the Ball Ground lads to
push the winning run over, which
shows how close the game was. The
locals were not beaten until the last
man was out in the tenth. The win
ming run was put over in the tenth
when Parker, the local pitcher, got
some bum decisions and walked two
men and then allowed Gibbs an in
| field hit, which scored a man from
third and won the game.
Six Nelson men were on the Ball
Ground team and were mainly re-
sponsible for the victory. Stones,
the Nelson pitcher, was on the mound
for Ball Ground. He did not show up
as on the previous occasion, when the
locals were held to three runs by
him. He gave up eleven hits, while
Parker only gave up six.
The long distance hitting of Nc
Neel and Newman was feature of
the game, McNeel getting two dou-
bles and Newman homer.
The Unfolding of both teams was
rather slow, due to wet grounds, the
only outstanding feature being the
circus catches of "Woco" Meadows in
left field.
