SAD DEATH OF MISS CLEVELAND.
The Grim Reaper Took Her From
This World Friday Morning.
“There is a cloud that overshadows
the hearts of many today, occasioned
by the sad news that Miss Hulet
Cleveland died this morning at 5:30
o’clock in Atlanta as the result of the
dread disease, cancer, from.which she
had suffered for a number o' months.
The disease, which some time ago
necessitated the amputation of one of
her lower limbs, a few days ago reach
ed her lungs and quickly snapped
the young life which God had so
richly endowed with gems of purity
and loveliness.
“Death is sad always, but where
one so young and hopeful, gifted with
the loveliest endowments of heart,
and the charming gifts of natural
being, and just entering upon the
stage of young womanhood, is claim¬
ed by the Grim Reaper, the sadness
of it seems to reach a supertative de¬
gree.
“To the very hour of her death
she was hopeful, talking optimistical¬
ly of what he intended doing when
she would get well, but the hearts oi
her loved ones were wrung with the
anguish of knowing that she was so
soon to take flight on wings of eter¬
nity, and depart from this life of car¬
nal' things, for which she, in her puri
ty and loveliness seemed out of pia. e
S’ e was amiable of nature, always
wearing a welcome smile and by her
entertaining manner, surrounded her¬
self with a host of friends, winning
the favor of all with whom she came
in contact.
“Her death is deeply deplored in
Cordele and there are some whose
hearts are steeped in sorrow over
the sad news, Hearfelt sympathy is
extended the loved ones in the great
bereavement.
“The remains will be taken to Grif¬
fin where interment will take place
at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. The
funeral services will be conducted at
the residence of Col, Lloyd Cleveland
cf Griffin, who is an uncle of the de¬
ceased.
The above young lady is the neice
of Mrs. C. A. Franklin and Mrs.
Minnie Powell Wright. Her death
was a very sad one and ’ er relatives
have the sympathy of tee ntire com¬
munity.
The above was taken from the Col¬
lege Park paper. Miss Cleveland
was a niece of Mrs. C. A. Franklin
and of Mrs. M'nnie Powell Wright,
of this city.
EMORY SENIORS HOLD
TREE DAY EXERCISES.
The Senior class of Emory Col¬
lege held their annual tree day exer¬
cises Friday. The class met with the
student body and their friends in the
old church where the speeches were
made and then they marched to the
college campus where they planted
the class tree.
C. C. Pittman, of Villanow, presi¬
dent of the class delivered the cus¬
tomary arbor day oration, using for
his subject, “Labor and Achieve¬
ments.” Spessard Holland, of Bar¬
tow, Fla., served as class historian
and read he history of the individual
member®. Jim Reeve, of Calhoun,
was class prophet and told of the fu¬
ture of the members of the class.
Grey Singleton of Ft. Meade, Fla.,
read the class poem.
At the planting of the tree each
member put in a shovel of dirt and
then the presidents of the other
classes each put in one for their
classes. When it came ime for the
president of the junior class to put in
his shovel full, J. E. Matthews, pres¬
ident, stepped forward, and, produc¬
ing a bloody hatchet from his pocket,
stuck it In the dirt by the tree and
covered it up, signifying that the
class of 1912 was willing to bury the
hatebett and end the .strife that had
been going on between the classes
for three years.

Is it hard for you to get the
farm hands out on time?
Is it hard for you to get them
up in the morning?
If so, why not let Big Ben do it
for you?
Big Ben is a truth telling and
reliable alarm clock.
It’s his business to get people
up in the world.
And he’ll do it every day at any
time you say.
Next time you drive to town,
