The Raggedys and the magical hobby horse and the nice poor man did not know that the two mean old witches, Minga and Munga, had quarrelled and then unsettled upon the porch of the house on wheels.
 The Raggedy e d y s thought the two witches were still fol lowing them in Rag gedy Ann's magical house on wheels. But instead of following the Raggedys the two witches had fallen into a lot of trouble, which only goes to show that when any one tries to harm someone it is just like throwing a stone up in the air and having that stone return and thump them very hard upon their head.
 And this is just what had happened to the two mean old witches. When they both rolled from the porch of the house on wheels they were still very angry at each other and each blamed the other for the oth- er's loss of the house on wheels. So, each

the School of Commerce has for
years been conducting Investigations
dealing with some single phase Of

vay of community that has shn
made. Our students found the citi-
zens of Marietta unusually willing to
answer their questions.
"The Marietta Journal is also to
be congratulated for its enterprise
in making the survey possible. The
statistical information produced will
be of value to every merchant in
Cobb county in shaping his plans to
provide the best possible service to
his customers. In the complete re-
port" Prof. Hosmer explains, "all
individual answers will be consolida-
ted into statistical totals, which will
clearly disclose not only the mer-

business like manner in which the
courts have been conducted during

Although it has been generally ex-
pected that Judge Blair would be a
candidate to succeed himself, his pub

much interest by his friends and

know him intimately admire him for
his unchallenged character and relia-
bility in matter for the public good.

The effort to finance a new hotel
for Marietta is getting started off on
the right foot as is evidenced by the
executive committee which has been
secured to head up the campaign.
This committee, which will make all
important decisions in connection
with the financing of the new hotel,
is quite representative of Marietta
business interests, and has very de-
cided tendency to inspire confidence
in the project. The personnel of the
committee which will head up this
movement, and enlist the co-opera-
ton Of large body of Marietta's
citizens for this project is as follows:

The executive committee held
preliminary meeting in the Chamber
of Commerce last Tuesday evening,
and decided on very important mat
tiers, all of which have the effect of
Fastening the time when a general
canvas can be made for the sale of
stock. 1t was considered important
by the committee that an authentic
statement, embodying all the impor-
tant facts entering into the project
should be drawn up and given to the
community through the public press,
so that everybody may be fully in
formed on what is proposed This
statement may be read in another
part of the paper where it appears
In the form of a large campaign adj
vertisement.
Briefly the plan for carrying on
the campaign was outlined as fol-
lows:
The executive committee will first
sell themselves blocks of stock, rep
resenting the maximum amount of
their ability to buy, and then the
same committee will make a canvas
OF a limited group of citizens, who
are expected to buy stock in amounts
of $1,000 and up. The executive
committee will then undertake to
sell the smaller blocks of stock. This
will be sold in amounts of 500 and
up by the large citizens sales organ
lzation which will soon be secured,
and which will carry on the intensive
campaign for one week.
The citizens sales organization
will be headed up by R. W. North
cult, general campaign chairman and
r. B. Lat:mer, associate general cam
paign chairman. These two leaders
will be assisted in building an organ
ration of 1875 statesmen Of sixteen
volunteer leaders, who will be select
ed by them. This group of leaders
will be named and announced in
next weeks issue of this paper.
This new hotel will be commu-
nifty project indeed, put over entire
ly by the volunteer efforts of the
public spirited citizens of Marietta.
