L like:
CLIMBING
Life is ladder;
The rungs thought and deed;

These maxims you must heed:
Don't make single misstep;
Take one rung at time,
Forget the things behind you,
And never cease to climb.

thing about the town near which | live: Ma
rietta has a population Of about 5000. There
are two marble mills, two cotton mills, chair
factory and Glover Machine shops here. One
can easily see it Is a busy little town. There
are also two good schools here. grammar
and high school. The stores are built around
the park, forming a square. The railroad
does not go through the main part of the
town. So you cousins who 20 through by
rail don't condemn the town. because one
cannot see its pretty streets and buildings
from the railroad Marietta is twenty miles
northwest of Atlanta (the Gate Ciy of he
SOuth), and Is connected with that city by
railroad, Dixie Highway and suburban cars
that run every hour. Ny home Is situated
about three miles north Of kennesaW noun
