LEAGUE HIRES
A SECRETARY
FLoRALA COMMERCIAL BODY is
GOING AFTER NEW SETTLERS
SMALLEST TOWN IN STATE
WITH PAID COMMERCIAL SEC
RETARY.
Special to The Journal.

F'lorala, Ala, April 16.-Today the
newly organized Commercial League
held one of the most important meet
ings since its inception of a few weeks
ago. 1t was a directors meeting and
practically the entire board was pres
ent. At the meeting W. E. Urquhart
recently elected secretary of the or
ganlzation, was indicted into Office
and stenographer was employed as
an assistant to him. Miss Ethel Nc
Leod. of F7orala, will fill this i'm
pcrtant position. Mr.. Urquhart comes
from Birmingham, where for many
years he has been identified with the
growth and progressive movements Of
the Magic City. He formerly repre-
scented Jefferson county in the Ala
bama legislature, his most prominent
work being the Introduction of the
commission government bill.
Mr.. UQuhart will devote his entire
time and attention to the work of pro-
noting the development and growth
of Florala, Lockhart, Paxton and
Lakewood and Covington and Walton
counties. Being an Albanian, he is
thoroughly acquainted with his state
and is in close touch with the many
developers of this and other southern
states.
F1orala, perhaps, is the smallest
town in the state having a paid sec
rotary to direct it's development and
point out its nultitudenous ad-
vantages.

From a sickly youth to health,

Osborne. He has just been in the

primaries to select the peoples choice
for president AS a boy he was handi-
capped in every way and his success
Is all the more to his credit. 1t was
because of poor health that he left his
home and spent two years in the then

throughout the period in the open and
scarcely saw a white man during the
time. He not only won back his
strength, but paved the way to his
wealth, for II was during the months
spent here that he discovered and Sc
