Notable Example OF Success Under Difficulties

set out to realize the dream of his
early youth, upon which he built all
his hopes for the future. After much
persuasion his father let him come
to Marietta to get a job as a clerk
in some store. 1t was after many
trials that he finally secured a posi-
ton with Mr.. H. D. McCutcheon,
working FOR nothing and boarding
himself. He worked with McCutch-
con during the fall and learned all
that he could about the business but
when the first of January came his
father needed him at home again, so
he went to help him on the farm.
The following summer Mr.. Flor
ence went down to Sweet Water
Park Hotel and secured job as night
clerk and Waterman. At this Job he
had to sit up the entire night and
sleep in an old gin house during the
day, doing his cooking out in the OPP

lived through the ordeal of eating his
own cooking and at the end of each
month he would send his money home
to his father to assist him on the
farm. The first hundred dollars that
he made he gave to his father.
In the fall, still being determined
that he was going into the mercantile
business, he went to Mr.. D. F. Nc
Clatchey, and secured a position with
him. Before closing the deal Mr.. Nc
Clatchey asked him how much he
would be willing to work for. In
reply Mr.. Florence gave a character

and at the end of the first month you
can name the salary" Mr.. McClatch-

The Why's of Bobbed Hair

This we found to be true with sew
eral. But that was not true with all
the high school girls. One said that
some boy had told her that she would
look good with it bobbed-Now he
has changed his mind Then one of
the girl students said that she could
not study for her hair got in the way.
Maybe that's so, but it sounded very
queer.

ply most of them gave. A few said,
big sister had hers so | had mine"
But it not this crowd that the anti
everythings are after. 1t is the work
ing girl and the girl in college or over
twenty. When we approached this
class we found that they had more
sensible views than their kid sisters.
Long hair is too hot" was the YER
dict of most of them in general. The
business girl gave the logical excuse
Of not having time to comb her long
tresses in the morning. / personally
don't see how any one could object
to this for as the national anthem Of
the business world is, ooh how
hate to get up in the morning."
1T looks so cute. everybody wears
it that way now" also, at amt so
much trouble" was the verdict of the
rest Of the girls.
Now that we had gone so far, we
thought we would see it through and
find out from the girl without
bodied hair" why she didn't bob
hers. The answer was invariably the
same, "The family won't let me-"
How about it, are the Marietta girls
the same IS girls the world over?

OCTOBER HEALTn LIES

State some causes of the prevail
ence Of typhoid
The bacillus typhosus is not easily
killed by drying and can live outside
the body for several days. After a
person has recovered from typhoid,
the bacilli may live for years and
multiply in organs of the body and
be gwen off in the eXcrete. Germs in
TYPHOID stools emptied in a vault can
be carried through the soil for con
siderable distance and infect water
supply. Flies that alight upon infect
ed matter become covered with germs,
later they deposit them upon food.
Please never cease to fight the fly.
The ideal preventive treatment for
typhoid is perfect sanitation, but un-
til we procure this, remember that
the persons who are suffering from
typhoid fever in Cobb county today,
have nos taken the typhoid innocula-
tions. An ounce Of prevention is
worth pound Of cure"

Before he started out Mr.. McNeel
told him that it would be impossible
to sell over $4,000 worth of goods
year. But the first year Mr.. Florence
sold over $4,000 worth of monu-
ments. His third year he sold over
$4,000 worth Of goods and for this
feat he received a diamond ring
which he still wears.
Mr.. Florence considers nothing inn
possible and this is his advice to all
young men starting out in life. 1t is
well known fact that Mr.. Florence
has started several boys on the road
to success, and this is one of his
proudest accomplishments.
To get back to the story; he tray
eled for Mcneil for seven years and
during this seven years he paid out of
his Indebtedness and accumulated
$4,000. This was enough to start
him in his chosen field again so he
set up a small business on the west
north side of the square in Marietta.
After year and a half in this To-
cation his business had grown to such
proportions that he was compelled to
move into larger place. He moved
into his present establishment, which
people said was entirely too large for
town this size. He occupied this
space for five years, but at the end of
that time it also proved too small.
so he added an annex, which adds
more than twice the floor space, and
he finds now that with his business
growing every day, he will soon have
to enlarge his present space to ac-
commodate the increase.
Mr.. Florence's congenial manner
and pleasant smile, together with his
courage and strong determination to
succeed, has been responsible for
the steady rise of his business. He
left behind him a firm road on which
those who wish to succeed in the
world would do well to follow.

The question of "bobbed hair" has
both pro and con, in the newspapers,
the magazines, business mems or
CARNATIONS, women's clubs, and on
the street corners for a long time
now.
There have been quite few stor-
les, and interviews in the Atlanta
papers, but it has never been treated
from local standpoint by Mariet-
ia paper. While some people will ar
que the point that girls are the same

1t. But as you have probably read
articles in other papers on this sub
Ject and as we are giving the Mari

By James Williams.

Mr.. w. A. Florence was born in
1857, his parents living, at that time
on the Anderson farm, near Powder
springs, Ga. His early life was spent
entlrely on the farm with his FIVE
nrothers and sisters, of which he was
the youngest.
MI Florence was handicapped by
not having the advantages of attend
ing school. His father was very poor
ana MS mother was always sick, hav-
ing been an invalid most of her life
because of this there was ALWAYS a
Big doctor bill to be paid, for this
reason coupled with the large family.
ms father was never able to send him
to school.
But during the two summer months
after crops were laid by, he would
attend school as often as he could
The balance of his meager education
was acquired before the freside after
a hard day in the field. The only
other light, beside the red glow from
the Pickering fire before him, was a
small brass kerosene lamp, which is
as extinct today as the old spinning
wheel.
1t was always Mr.. Florence's am
bition and determination that he
would sometime own the largest store
in Marietta. And as he has never let
this ambition die, but on the other
hand it has grown with his years and
now that his childhood ambition is a
reality he is striving to give Marietta
the best store in the South in town
the size of Marietta. When he was
nothing but a child and his mother
would come to town to buy few dry
goods and bring them home, he would
always tell her that he would have a
store of his own where she could have
all the dry goods she wanted.
At the age of fifteen Mr. Florence

month he deposited $25 in the bank
until he had saved 500. Now he was
nearing the goal of his ambition, the
picture he had formed in his early
childhood had never grown dim, he
would now realize the object of his
dreams.
So Mr.. Florence and his brother,
Mr.. T. w. Florence, and Mr.. J. S.
Read formed a partnership of Flor
ence Brothers & Read. Their bust
ness house was located on the East
side Of the square, here they handled
groceries exclusively at the start Mr..
Florence and his brother slept in the
rear of the store, and had a negro
woman to bring them their lunch.
This business proved a great success
and Mr.. Florence's early dream was
about to be realized when their store
was entirely destroyed by fire.
They had little insurance. there
fore it was practically 2 total loss.
But the flame that burned in Mr..
WV HCd1J COulQ llCG D6 So cas-
lily quenched so he again formed a
business. This time it was Florence
Bros. & Williams. Here again they
had progressive business until mis-
fortune again visited them in the
form of fire, which was also total
loss. In this fire the firm lost over
$4,000.
Mr.. Florence then secured a posi-
ton in Greenville, Miss, and worked
there for about four months. But
the old call of home was felt and he
returned to Marietta to work for the
Mcneil Marble Co. in 1904. He went
on the road for this company and
without the slightest knowledge of the
monument business was very sue
cessful from the day he started.
One Of the incidents that occurred
while Mr.. Florence was with this
company goes to show how he made
his success.

The sheriff is having a hard time
now chasing down moonshiners. Now
that sorghum cane time is here and
syrup making is in vogue in many
sections, the smoke from syrup mill
seen at a distance can hardly be dis

1t seems that the legal business Of
making syrup will not be as profitable
as the black sheep of the family

a rather grave problem for the mar

annoyance of blushing. And while
we have cursed this freak of nature
we have probably wondered what it
was that made the color come to our

Here is a clipping that we ran

Journal short tine ago
@. What is "blushing?"
A. Blushing is due to the fact
that the muscular cups of the small
arteries become relaxed. As a re-
suit, the capillaries fill with blood
and the vasco-eenter is affected, or
temporarily paralyzed. Laughter may
be caused by tickling the skin; weep
ing or frowning, by blow; bat the
blush is not caused by any physical
means. The mind must be affected !:
for instance, by surprise, difEidence,
modesty, shame, guilt, or apprehen-
sion. Women blush more than men.
and the young more than the old.
/ However, old women blush less thar
old men. Animals redden from pas
/ sion, but they do not blush. Idists
never blush. Undoubtedly a slight
blush adds to the beauty of maiden'si
face. Circassian women who are.
CAPABLE of blushing invariably bring
higher price in the seragliO of IL
Sultan than those who are less ST.
ceptible"
If you don't understand all that
means don't feel hurt for we dor
either. But one thing that we q
get-"ldots Never Blush" Now ain
that relief? When you feel your
cheeks burn from real hot blush.
Just comfort yourself with the fact
that you are not an idiot after all.

Cheatham Hill
Monument
One Of Cobb's Historic Spots
That is Worth Your
While to See
BY /. c. Moore.

Comparatively few people have
heard of Cheatham Hill monument
and fewer people have taken the
trouble to go out and look this his
tore spot over.
Located only short way from Ma
rietta this spot of Civil War fame
stirs again the memories of the DAYS
back in the sixties. With well pre-
served breast works running along
the top of the ridge, stately slabs of
granite raised in the memories of
the boys who wore the blue, one can
not help letting his thought run back
to the days when the Blue and the
Gray met on the field of battle.
Being Southern to the very back
bone, it would have been a hard task
about ten or fifteen years ago to
look on these relics with any feeling
but hatred, but since the great war.
when boys from Maine fought with
boys from Florida and California one
feels not only glow of pride for
our boys in Gray, who, haggard.
hungry, worn and out numbered
stood off the assault of the foe, but
also for the gallant boys in blue who
charged time after time to be re-
PEELED with each sally.
This field is about three miles ont
the Dallas road. Just before reach
ing the three mile post you turn to
the left, after going about a half
mile you take another turn to the
left, then keep straight ahead. The
roads are in fairly good shape. If
you park your car in the yard of Mr..
- and walk the rest of the
way through the woods it will make
the trip much more enjoyable. With
the Autumn air in your nostrils, the
early fallen leaves cracking under
foot you forget all your troubles.
But to get back to the hill and its
hisory. The State of Illinois pur-
chased the sixty acres on which the
battle was fought from Mr.
about 1900 and since that time has
kept the breast works in good con-
dition.
1t wasn't until 1914 that the mon
ument was erected. On June 27,
1914, survivors of the old division
that had fought on this spot came to
dedicate it to Their $50 comrades, who
lost their lives here. Among the dead
were two commanders, Col. Dan Nc
Cook, who was mortally wounded and
had to retire from the field and Col.
O. F. Harmon, who was instantly
killed on the brink of the Confeder-
ate breast-works.
To add to the local interest of the
monument it was made of Georgia
marble by the McNeel Marble works
here. 1t is large rectangular shaft
about twenty feet in height and five
feet square. 1t is on large base
of the same material. While the steps
that lead to the monument proper
are of ground marble in cement.
On the front of the monument IN
bronze, facing the West, is Union
soldier, guarded on each side by an
angel of peace. At the foot OF the
steps is the entrance to tunnel that
was constructed to undermine the
Southern army in their trench.
In connection with this tunnel an
interesting story was told by one OF
the Union veterans who came to the
dedication of the memorial. The
Northern army had tried attack after
attack but each successive one had
failed. At last they gave up, but de-
cided to dig tunnel under the Con-
