H0renceS Neae,
Store Opens Soon

The new store of MIR. w. A. Flor
ence will be ready for occupancy in a
few days and it will be one of the
most beautiful stores in North Geor-
gia. A new front and show windows,
new counters and shelving are being
put in and the entire building remod-
eled into as convenient and complete
ly arranged store as experience and
money can produce.
The first floor will be taken up
entirely with dry goods and ladies
furnishings The balcony will be oc-
cupied by a shoe department which
will be one of the new features added
to the business. The most welcome
news to the women of Marietta and
Cobb County will be that the leading
brand in the shoe department will be
Queen Quality" which is famous the
world over.
The second floor will be devoted to
Millinery which will be another of
the prominent features which will
give Marietta as complete and attrac-
tive department store as could be de-
sired.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
EXHIBIT CAR HERE
Many People Saw Fine Crops
Raised Along The Line of
Great System.

A miniature exposition in special
ly built car, was visited by throngs
of Marietta and Cobb County people
last Monday. On each side of the car
were booths decorated in fancy de-
signs of wheat, oats millet, clover, al
falfa etc. Under these were potatoes,
onions, and other vegetables. In glass
Jars were beautiful flowers, berries,
and fish. All these were in perfect
condition as if they had been cleaned
by fairy brooms. There were peaches
as fine as ever came from California
and in one tall jar was limb with
leaves and big red apples just as it
was cut from the tree. 1t was of a
degree of beauty needing to be seen
to be believed, The grapes were the
finest possible and of many varieties.
Indeed visitors to this car could hard
ly realize the evidence of their own
eyes. Celery, Potatoes and onions
were almost as white as snow. Straw
berries, gooseberries and all except
.blackberries were superlatively fine.
The finest exhibit in the ear to
our mind was the Irish potatoes. Sew
eral barrels were there and the aver
age weight must have been in the
neighborhood of two pounds each.
They were certainly fine. Single Gu
cumbers that would make meal for
a family-provided it was not fam

v. H. DIV|NS' STORE
BURNED TO GROUND

The store of Mr. w. H. Bivins at
Elizabeth was burned on Tuesday
morning at two O'Clock and it is al
legged that the fire was of incendiary
origin. Mr.. Bivins says that he has
received several letters threatening
to burn his store unless he discharged
his negro help but that he did not
take the matter seriously.
The store and stock of goods was
valued at about 100000 and the in
surance was only 100000 so the
loss is heavy one for Mr.. Bivins.
1t is reported that several others
have received threatening letters in
regard to the employment of negroes

Birthday Office
Observed Sunday

Sunday afternoon at the First Bap-
fist Church in the Sunday School
room large congregation met to
celebrate the birthday of General
Robert e. Lee. A portrait of this
great Southern leader had been
drawn on a blackboard by Mary Liz
zie Benson and was draped with Con-
federate flags.
Miss Maud Foster played accom-
paniments to the songs. The opening
song was one of General Lees favor
lite hymns, How Firm Foundation"
Rev. G. w. Duval made the first
address which was a tribute to Lee
as a soldier especially. Rev. G, S.
Tumlin spoke of Lee as an example
for boys to emulate in forming char
acters. A double quartette consisting
OF Mrs. e. P. Dobbs, Mrs. C. P. Steph
ems, Mrs. H. c. Dobbs, Mrs. Henry
Wyatt, Messrs. Beyerle, Matthews.
Austin and Gatlin sang "Tenting on
The Old Camp Ground. Miss Mary
Atkinson sang Hold Thou My Hand"
and the congregation sang Coward
Christian Soldiers. The Confederate
Veterans, the Boy Scouts, and the
Daughters of The Confederacy at
tended and had reserved seats. The
occasion was very interesting and

Mr.. Jens Johnson, of the immigra-

Pacific railroad who advertises this
car is another Mr. ]. Gid Nor
ris with seven great big states to Sc
lect from. He gathered the exhibits
and had them arranged in the car
to the wonderful advantage in which
they were shown. He even caught the
fish and shot the wild duck that
peeps so shyly from it's niche in the
roof of the car. 1t is enough to make
a misanthropic man in love with life
just to see this wealth Of natural
beauty and delicious food provided
by the Creator. The seven great states
OF the Northwest are marvels of fer
tility and find markets for their pro-
ducts in Japan and Europe besides
the United States. Horace Greeley's
famous advice to young men to ego

MARIETTA RIFLES To
CO TO Washington
Ask Citizens to Help Them
Pay Heavy Expenses
of The Trip.

There is movement on foot in
Marietta to send the Marietta Rifles to-
take part in the Inauguration exer-
cises in Washington in March. Every
other city and town that has mill
itary post in this state and al other
safes are raising enough money to
send them to Washington. Our sister
city, Rome, Ga. is raising a fund OF
$1,500.00 to send the company from
Lindale, Ca, which is the nearest
company to Rome, 1t will only take
about $4,000 to send our home COM
apny to Washington, at least this
amount will about pay their railroad
fare and the men state that they are
willing to payfor their own subsist-
ence and sleep in school houses if the
people of Cobb county and Marieetts
will raise enough for railroad fare.
Marietta should by all means be rep
resented. Cobb is the Banner County
of the state and should not fall be-
hind at this time. The money con
tributed toward this will be a good
advertisement for Cobb County and
Marietta and the citizens as a whole
should get behind this movement and
send our military to Washington
Several of the old members of this
company are re-enlisting and the
company has a good membership.
They are here for home protection III
case of need and turn about is fair
play-they should be helped when
they need it, as in this case. Mr. Len
G. Baldwin, Capt. Fred Morris and
Capt Amos Way will take the matter
in hand and try to raise the amount
needed for this movement at once
The Rifles can only enlist very few
men berore the trip is made as their
ranks are about up to the limit now

New York city had become one Of
