Monroe circuit court and reversed and
lrendered Thursday by the state supreme
court. Originally Hohenberg sued Hem
dirk ON a note. The latter claimed a
set-off and was given judgment on this
claim.
The set-off was claimed on the
grounds that ~ertain cotton sold by the
defendant to the plaintiff was graded ac-
cor6ing to American standards instead
of the official cotton standards of the
United States. This the defendant
claimed was in violation of provision
found ON Page 140 of the acts of, 1920.
The courts opinion cited that the
Agee Grocery company of Selma had
acted as defendants agent in grading the
cotton and hence the defendant was
bound by the acts of his agents in this
respect. Constitutionality of the act
cited by the defendant was attacked by
the counsel for the appellate, Hohen-
berg. but the supreme court decided that
lit was not necessary to- pass on the
validity OF the act in finding for the
appellant, Hohenberg 4 Go.

 My! You don't know how glad l am that ran away from mean old Eanzan and that l belong to you now" the Hobby Horse told Raggedy Ann.
 "I have been thinking while we were enjoying our soda water!" Rag gcdy Ann said. Don't you believe, Mister Magical Hobby Horse, that old Bsnzan, the conjurer, will use his con- turing charms and make another Hobby Horse so that he can follow us and capture us again."
 Dear me! 1 hope not" the kind Hobby Horse said. Tt took him al- most three hours to make me out Of wood. but 1t only took him two min utes with his magical charms 10 make me come to life and he A real for sure Magical Hobby Horse!"
 Then we can he certain that he will make another wooden Hobby Horse and chase us!" Raggcdy Ann said.
 'Listen!" Rags puppy dog said. q thought l heard the "CLUMPITY CLuMP' of a Hobby Horses wooden feet coming through the woods."
New Britain herald., 1924-06-04

"Nhy shouldn't we teach him a lesson so that he win not wish to chase us any more?"
 "How shall We do it. Raggedy Andy" little Rags puppy dog asked.
 Let Raggedy Ann and all the rest Of you hide in these bushes, and ] will get upon our nice Hobby Horses back with a long stick. Then when the conjurer comes galloping up on the new Hobby Horse. I will ride out and knock him off with the long stick, like the knights in the story Looks dol"
 So Raggedy Andy hunted until he found a strong stick and then while his friends found hiding places in the bushes, Raggedy Andy told the Hob- by Horse just how he should act.
 Presently down the patch came 2 queer looking wooden creature and uron its back waving a stick as long as the one Raggedy Andy had was old Banzan. fine conjurer. Banzan gave a cry when he saw Raggedy Andy Ipon the Magical Hobby Horse and dashed Up to crack Raggcdy AnuA NiNH lut SllChs uNb iNaS6'N Andy's Hobby Horse knew just what to do, So instead of standing still as Eanzan expected him 10 do. the Hob by Horse whirled to one side. Ban zan's stick barely missed Raggedy Andy's head and if if had hit. the blow would surely have knocked all the cotton out Of him. But Raggedy Andy gave a "Whoop!" and as Banzan rode by RarEedy Andy gave him 9 crack with the stick. Banzan toppled ont of his wooden saddle and fell "splash.' into the ice cream spring. Then Raggedy Andy poked him with his stick until Banzan promised to he good and quit chasing and trying to capture inc Baggcdys any more.
 Then Raggcdy Ann and Berty Bear and little Rags puppy dog climbed up- rn tha Hobby Horse behind Raggedy Andy and laughing and shouting they rode away through inc woods.
