DRUMBY AND GILBERT
NEW FURNITURE FIRM

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Journal there appears an announce
ment that will prove of much inter-
est to our large number of readers.
It is the announcement of Brumby
and Gilbert, as dealers in furniture.
The firm is composed of two of
Marietta's best known young men
and their host of friends in Marietta
and throughout Cobb county will
read of their entrance into the bust
ness life of Marietta with source of
much interest.
The firm has leased the old Haver-
ty stand on Washington Avenue
which is now being remodeled to suit
their convenience. During the past
week they have placed large orders
for the best class of furniture obtain
able. The stock is beginning to ar
rive and will soon be ready for the
inspection of the public.
Joe B. Brumby and Ed. G. Gill
bert compose the firm.
Joe Brumby is son of T. M.
Brumby, of the Brumby Chair Co.,
and has spent his entire life in the
furniture business and it is needless
to say that he knows the furniture
line and what constitutes good fur
niture. During the past few years
he has represented this large concern
ION the road" and in this way has
been brought into contact with all
the best lines of furniture. He is
well fitted for his new position.
Ed. G. Gilbert, of the E. G. Gill
bert Co., will continue to conduct
his clothing, shoes and gents furni-
nishings establishment on the square.
Mr.. Gilbert has been in business in
Marietta for sixteen years and his
business record is not surpassed by
any concern in the city. Mr.. Gill
bert is not new in the furniture bust
ness, having successfully conducted a
furniture establishment when he first

cents or profit of about fifteen dol
lars bale after all costs had been
figured out. The Journal believes
it will be to the interest of every
farmer to take advantage of this
plan. Should the English blockade
on cotton be lifted or forcibly brok-
en- Germany will take a million or
more bales at fifteen cents a pound
at once. Any way the slower cot
ton is marketed the steadier the price
will be and if the marketing is pro-
perly handled the price will be forced
up.
We are certainly glad that Mari
eta is so fortunate as to have a
bank of the financial strength of
the First National, and also that it is
a member of the great Federal Re-
serve System of Banks.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
TO MAKE 6 % LOANS

Because of the position held by the
First National Bank of Marietta.
Cobb County will enjoy a greater
prosperity this year than has been
possible heretofore. The First Nat
ional Bank is now offering to lend
the farmers money on cotton at 6 %
interest. This cotton is to be placed
in a large warehouse, centrally locat-
ed in Marietta, and owned by the
bank. A very moderate warehouse
charge in addition to the interest
rate is to be made.
The First National Bank is a very
strong financial institution within it
self, having assets of more than
100000, and is being carried on
by men whose business ability is at
tested by the steady growth of the
bank.
1t is also the only bank in Cobb
county that is a member of the Fed
eral Reserve System of Banks
through which the United States
Government will place $30,00O,00O
on cotton loans. The strong re-
sources of the First National Bank
together with their connection with
this great system of banks assures
plenty of cash for Cobb County farm
ers. This in turn means that the
farmers can meet their obligations
with the merchants and the mer-
chants with others and so on, there
by making more and better prosper
ity for every one. 1t is a plan that
makes the farmers independent and
prevents them having to renew notes
and pay compound interest. In fact
he can turn the tables by borrowing
at six percent on his cotton, buy
goods at cash prices and then if the
market continues to rise as it is ex-
pected to do, he will make big money.
If this plan had been in effect last
year farmers who sold their cotton at
six cents would now be getting ten

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 11.-What has
been a battling mystery, the robbery
of the Bank of Morton, at Morton, a
year ago when the safe was blown
and the sum of $4,000 taken, has been
cleared up by the confession of Willie
HelVersOn, a young white man who
was sent to the penitentiary the first
part of this year for implication il
the burglary of a dwelling in Smith
county. In telling the sergeant at the
Oakley state farm of the bank robbery
the young man gave highly sensa-
,ional account Of how band of three
young white men operated in differ
ent sections, buried the stolen loot,
and gave two attorneys at Raleigh
diagrams to guide them in going to the
spot where the money was hidden.
The confession of Helverson came
after the escape a few days ago from
he oakley farm of Hugh McNair, sent
Up with Helyerson for robbing the
Smith county home.
Directly after Helverson confessed
10 the sergeant at Oakley, Governor
Brewer was notified. He acted prompt
Iy, sending detectives in an automobile
o Smith county to try to locate the
hidden money. Helyerson gave the
officers detailed information regarding
he exact spot where the money had
been placed, but when they arrived
here it was to find that no money
lad been taken away. The ground Of
tered no evidence, it is said, that the
spot had been disturbed recently, and
t is the opinion of officers that the
stolen money was taken away many
months ago and before McNair got
away from Oakley farm.
Helverson implicated McNair and
Ollie Burns in the Morton Bank rob-
berry, as well as in several burglaries

over the state. From what he says it
appears that the three men consti-
tuted a regular band of robbers, who
dynamited bank safes and pulled off
second story robberies in the good old
fashioned dime novel style.
Governor Brewer was told the whole
story by the sergeant at Oakley fol-
lowing McNair's escape, and he secur-
ed several secret service men to aid
in searching for McNair and Burns
and in trying 70 locate the stolen
money.
ARRESTED" Negroes.
Helverson told the officers that he
stood guard on a corner street in
Morton while McNair and Burns blew
the safe with nitro-glycerine. He also
stated that every negro who came
along was arrested" by them and
placed in box car.
According to Helverson the trio
blew safe at Buckatuna about year
and safe in another place that he
declined to name.
According to Helverson the men Sc
cured the sum of $4,000 from the bank
of morton. He did not describe the
details of the robbery, simply saying
that after putting the negroes in the
box ca, they robbed the bank and then
made their way to Smith county. They
had intended to rod a dwelling at
Raleigh, he said, and were en- route
there for that purpose, when they de-
cided it would not be a good idea to
take so large a sum with them. After
a short consultation they buried the
money and took a carefully prepared
diagram of the spot En- route to
Releigh they burglarized home near
by.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the Food.

When there's no relish to food and
Ill that one eats doesn't seem to do
my good then is the time to make a
turnover in the diet, for that's Ma
.ure's way of dropinpg a hint that the
God isn't the kind required.
For a number OF years l followed
abroad work, much of it being office
work of trying nature Meal times
Jere our busiest; and eating too much
nd too quickly Of food such as is com
lonly served a hotels and restau-
ants, together with the sedentary
abits, were not long in giving me
dyspepsia and stomach trouble which
educed my weight from 205 to 100
pounds
There was little relish in any food
md none of it seemd to do me any
5ood. 1t seemed the more | ate the
oorer l got and was always hungry
'efore another meal, no matter how
much l had eaten.
Then | commenced a trial of Grape
nuts food, and was surprised how a
mall saucer of it would carry me
long, strong and with satisfied appe-
tie, until the next meal, with no SEN
'ations of hunger, weakness or dis
ress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
or several months and nv improve
nent has been so great all the others
my family have taken up the use of
Grape-Nuts with complete satisfaction
md much improvement in health.
Most people eat hurriedly, have lots
f worry, thus hindering digestion and
therefore, need food that is predigest-
and concentrated in nourishment. =
