$3.50 SUBSCRIBED
TO LIBRARY FUND
IN DRIVE TUESDAY
Final Goal $4,000 Expected When
Contributions Come in From
Those Out of Town.

The campaign, last Tuesday, with
$4,000 as the goal, for the Clarke
Library maintenance and operating
fund for the coming year fell short
of the mark by exactly $4,000 states
Mr.. Ralph Hancock, in charge of the
drive.
"a great many people were out OF
town." says Mr.. Hancock, "and it is
matter of vital importance to the
community that this fund be COM
pleted at the earliest possible moment.
The Library means too much to the
children of Marietta as well as the
grown-ups for this matter to lag and
it is hoped that those who have not
been seen will voluntarily send or
bring in their subscriptions which
will save the soliciting committees
much work.
THE campaign will be continued
until the last dollar aimed at has
been secured. The various COM
mittees did faithful and intensive
work and are to congratulated upon
the results achieved in spite of the
handicaps above .mehtionedl
Every inividual who has not con-
tributed to this fund is doubly srge
to "do it now while it is needed most
for this institution is an asset to
this section whose valhe cannot be
estimated in dollars an cents, and in
which every man, woman an child
can participate"

.FLORENCE.,S
ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATION
Eleventh Annual Sale Biggest
Affair in History of
Local Store.

1T took eleven years to do it,,
but Florence's 18th anniversary Sale
did it, for when the doors were open
ed Thursday morning, there were a
few women of this section missing,
who couldn't possibly get there. All
the rest did.
The store is decorated from the
sidewalk line to the back door. bot
tom to top floor, in Autumn Harvest
colors with the harvest idea carried
out to the last etail.
In the foreground of the two dis
play windows are immense golden
horns of plenty pouring out products
of Cobb county Just behind the
horns of plenty in the show window
is possibly one of the most UNIQUE
and original exhibits ever shown out
side of museum. This display con-
sists of an exhibit wearing appearl
that was strictly in style when
mother was girp' an was loaned
for the occasion by well known resi-
dents of this section. Among the
most interesting of these articles are
Dress in Mrs. W. S. N. Meals
trouseau-48 years old.
Silver comb, from England, $50.
years old,
Ivory comb, priceless, only one
more ever in America.
Scarf worn by Mrs. Hamilton,
mother of Mrs. T. j. Hardage in
1854.
Waist worn by Mrs. T. ]. Hardage
in 1884.
Vest worn by Mrs. Boston's father,
Col. Edward B. Smith on wedding
day.
Llama shawl, worn by Mrs. John
Boston's mother in 1876
Stock worn by DR.. Edward A.
Broadnax, of England, great-uncle
of Mrs. John Boston, 971 years ago.
Dress used in the family of Mrs.
Morgan McNeel in 1888.
Baby dress worn by Mrs. j. T.
Anderson in 1867.
Tea gown, worn by the sister Of
Mrs. v. i. Starr, in 1890.
Quilted Bennett made by Mrs.
John Mitchell 70 years ago and worn
by Mrs. Jack Reeves.
A hat from Paris for Mrs. Tom
Reads, ST., trousseau.
A dress in Mrs. Geo. Gober.s
trousseau in 1881.
Calico dress bought during the
Civil War at $500 per yard and
worn by Mrs. A. J. Barker in 1853.
Slippers worn in the family of
Morgan McNeel in 1860.
Shawl worn in the family of Mrs.
T. A. Granting. The fax was
grownand woven in the northern part
of Ireland over 80 years ago.
Baby dress worn in the family of
Mrs. John Fowler in 1853.
In triking contrast with these
storied and priceless possessions is
the interior scene of modern and up
to-date merchandise temptingly ar
ranged along the aisles and counters.
Above the shelving and along the
walls on each side the antebellum
idea of "happy days in Georgia" is
suggested by an aid fashioned spin
ming wheel, the well and the "old
oaken bucket" and tree hung with
martin gourds, while the whole is
festooned with autumn leaves, fod-
der shocks and other products Of the
farm.
The sale will continue during the
month of Octoyer, harvest time, and
the displays will be changed from
time to time.
The novelty and originality of the
decorative scheme is really "big
town stuff" and is due to the ingen-
uity of Mrs. H. G. Coway, ably as
sisted by her popular husband and an
exceedingly efficient sales force.
