LIKE OLD GAMBLING DAYS.
"Turkey' Rafting This Week Brings
Pioneer DAYS to Mind

Pioneer Days to Mind.
The wheels OH which many Norfolk
people won their Thanksgiving din
ners remind Norfolk pioneers o. the
old days when gambling houses were
in full blast in this city. One Norfolk
pioneer declares it brings back old
memories of early Norfolk when six
gambling houses were running wide
open to anyone who cared to try his
luck.
Seventeen years ago six gambling
houses were scattered Throughout, the
city. There may have been others,
but these were the public gambling
houses. Today Norfolk has seven sa-
looms where seventeen years ago it
had that number of gambling houses.
A prominent Norfolk business man
in relating the old days declares the
gambling houses always had 40 Der
cent of the players money, win or
lose.

ENTERING THE MINISTRY.
George Southworth, Giving Up Insur,
ance, is Only % Years Old.

George Southworth, Giving Up lnsur-
ance, is Only % Years Old.
George S. Southworth, manager of
the Midwest Life Insurance company
with offices in the Bishop block, who
leaves the insurance business next
week to study for the ministry under
Rev. F. C. Taylor of the Central City
Episcopal church, has surprised his
friends by giving out his age at %.
Il know | look older, but it is the
truth, | am only % years DID," said
Mr.. Southworth.
The fact that Mr. Southworth looks
much older than he really is does not
mean that he is an old looking man.
He is very broad shouldered and a
perfect picture of an athlete. This,
says Mr.. Southworth was given him
by nature and developed through the
medium of the football game which
he has played since he was 10 years
old. He is high in his praise over the
game and declares it the best game in
existence for the young man of today.
Mr.. Southwortn has assisted F. NJ.
Hunter in the coaching of the Norfolk
high school football team and was in
1909 captain of the Kenyon (Ohio)
college team when that team was the
holder of the championship of the
state of Ohio. Mr.. Southworth has al
ways intended entering the ministry,
but through relatives had taken up
the insurance business for a side issue
only.
Mr., Southworth entered the Kenyon
military academy when he was 16
years old He took popular part in
all athletics, but two years after he
entered the academy the buildings
were destroyed by fire and he imme-
diately entered the Kenyon college,
from which four years later he grad
uated with highest honors. Out of the
1909 class he graduated as the first
honor of his class with the degree of
bachelor of arts. He was also a prom
inent member of the Phi Beta Kappa
