 Great Battle Is RecaiIed.-Six years ago last Monday, Company K, Gadsdens famous military unit, with 252 men and seven off cers, went over the top at Chateau Thierry. : Only enlisted men and one officer came out of the battle alive and uninjured. All the others were either killed or wounded. They put up a gallant fight and, with their com rades of the old Rainbow and other divisions, really turned the tide of battle. The Ala bamians were in the thick of the very worst hand-to-hand fighting of the engagement, and the fact that any of them came out of it alive seems miraculous now. They wrote their names in history that day and they will never be forgotten so long as this nation survives.-Gadsden Times.
 Alabama's Veteran Editor - Alabama newspapermen congratulate Editor J. B. Stanley, 60-year-old editor of the Greenville Advocate, upon completing his fifty-ninth yaer as editor of the Advocate. General Stan ley established the Advocate 59 years ago and has been with it ever since being prob ably both the oldest active newspaper pub fisher in the state and also the only one who has conducted one newspaper under one name and with the same management for so long time. The Advocate Is one of Alabama's best weekly papers and has been such for many years. It supplies territory south of Montgomery comprising several of the best counties in the state, and in the homes of the ! people of Greenville, Butler county and the counties surrounding the Advocate has be- come so much of fixture that many could not do without it's weekly visits of cheer and information.

 Florence on 8 B0om.-Florence~ is on a boom right now and the people don't know it. They have been thinking and talking about increasing an hundred thousand in population in single season so long that the actual gain of a couple of thousand in n year is being overlooked Many communities would think they were running away with themselves if they could show the same speed in growth as has been experienced here in the past few months. We are looking at the stars and walking over the diamonds in our own door yard. What we need is to wake up to the fact that 1t isn't necessary to leave home in order to run off after false gods. The blindest folks are those who will not see. If you really want to see things move, get on the boosters end of the community teeter with your energy, your intellect and your pocket book and help put the proposed half-million- dollar hotel on some good corner. We are moving now and the thing to do is to speed up. Don't worry, watch us grow. Flor ence News
