Look Best in
XTRAGQon Clothes
A T school —on Sunday — anywhere
. and at all times you want your
boys to look as well as any. And bet
ter if possible.
It all depends on the clothes you
bitf. Most kinds lack fit, shape, style,
neatness and good taste; poor mate
rials and poorer tailoring are respon
sible.
VTRAooon are entirely different;
made after a higher standard, under
better conditions, of superior fabrics,
bysmarterworkmen. In making clothes
of better quality and more durability,
the manufacturers produce garments
that also look right. Clothing made as
yTRAooon is, lacks nothing in appear
ance or wearing qualities.
Let us show our atyles for boys and children.

LITTLE NETTIE LOST;
NIGHT IN WOODS
Continued from Pago One.
will probably remain a mystery. Her
parents, by suggestion and other means,
have tried to make her remember what
she did between Monday and Tuesday
mornings, but she only replies:
"It was Just like I was asleep."
Dr. J. T. Crawford, who was hastily
summoned Tuesday morning to attend
to the exhausted child, stated that there
was no evidence of foul play of any
kind. She had not been struck on the
head or drugged or Injured in uny way,
he believes. He Is Inclined to the opin
ion that her inlnd was affected, al
though that Is exceedingly unusual In
a child of her age.

when little Nettle did not return from

children to the moment she appeared

Complaints.
been steadily growing In the nitnti
the anxious family In the pretty new
home In Crew street. They had no
reason to believe that Mr. Merrlett hud
any Intention of doing anything of the
kind, but he was the only person Inter
ested In the child other than them
selves. Now Mr. and Mrs. Smith say
that this Idea was almost foolish, al
though at the time they were so wor
ried about Nettle that they were pre
paring to telegraph to Charlotte to find
out.
Nettie Is a Prodigy.
In her studies nnd In reading In
general little Nettle has always been
a prodigy. Mr. Smith stated Tuesday
that she learned to read when three
years old and at the age of four taught
her 6-year-old brother to read and
write. At the nge of 6 she was first
permitted to go to school, and entered
the fourth grade with children from
10 to 13 years old. That year she di
vided the honor of lending her class
with another girl. Many times, Mr.
Smith says, he has waked up In the
night to find the little girl reading
books which she had borrowed, for
on the advice of physicians she was
kept from rending as much as possible
by the family.
For four years she went to school,
but nt the age of 10, when she wns
In the seventh grade. It wus thought
best to take her out for two years.
This full she started to school again.
Last Kunday she was feeling 111, she
says, but wns so anxious to go to
school that she did not tell her parents.
Monday morning, apparently ns bright
as ever, she stnrted off, her books un
der her arm. up Bass street toward
the Fraser Street School, Just three
blocks away.
Nettle's little friend. Lonnie John
son. Joined her a short distance from
the house and the two walked togeth
er. Half way between Capitol ave
nue and Fraser street Lonnie turned to
go back for an umbrella. That Is the
last thing Nettle remembers and the
last time any one saw' her.
Missing From School.
At 2 o'clock, when she did not re
turn, her mother, Mrs. Smith, became
alarmed and notified Mr. Smith, who
went to the school and found that the
girl had not reported there that day.
He searched the neighborhood and no
tified the police. He went to a number
of the parks and kept going until early
Tuesday morning. He was aided In
the hunt by many neighbors.
Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock eev-
eral members of the family were
standing on the front porch discuss
ing the advisability of telegraphing to
Charlotte. Otho Smith, a relative,
started up town. A little girl, pale,
tired looking and dirty, got off a
Washington street car and he recog
nised the lost child. He took her home,
where she tdld as much as she knew of
what had happened In the twenty-four
hours. She was apparently III and ex
hausted from want of food, and a phy
sician was called.
The only clew that may tell where
she spent the day and night would be
the discovery of her school books,
which she lost.
Upon the statement that the South
ern railway Is violating a naturally
neutral position by compliance with
the demands of the telegraph compa
nies to accept commercial business, the
striking telegraphers declare that a
general strike will be ordered among
the Order of Railway Telegraphers, tle-
Ing up all the great systems, unless It
Is discontinued.
It Is charged that the Southern has
taken the Initial step In forcing Its
operntors to handle commercial busi
ness, and that a telegrapher was dis
charged Saturday for declining to ac
cede to this demand.
A called meeting of the Greenville
division of the railway telegraphs
was held In Gainesville. Ga., Monday
night. Resolutions were adopted re
questing Superintendent Fallls, of the
Southern, to reinstate the discharged
operator by noon on September 23. It
Is said that If the request Is Ignored
that a meeting will be called for the
night of September 23, and that all of
the railway telegraphers will be called
out.
Superintendent J. Levin, of the*
Western Union, denies that his com
pany has or Is attempting to force the
railroads to handle commercial busi
ness. He Is authority for the state
ment that n form of agreement exists
between the railway operators and
the commercial men. whereby railroad
operators handle certain commercial
business. This, he claims, Is an agree
ment that has been In existence for a
long while.
The local office of the Western Union
claims 83 operators at work Tuesday.
A representative of The Georgian was
admitted to the floor, nnd It Is certain
that a very large force Is at work
tl\«?re. The company claims to be han
dling now very near the normal
amount of business.
Of the three special matters set for a
hearing before the railroad commission
Wednesday, one has been postponed
and another settled without a hearing.
The complaint against the Atlanta
Baggage and Cab Company was post
poned for one week at the special re
quest of Jacob Haas, the president, as
Wednesday Is the Important festival In
the Jewish church.
In the case of the Georgia Manufac
turing nnd Public Service Company, of
Marietta, complaint has been with
drawn on the promise of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad to lift the em
bargo against the company.
• The Marietta concern complained
that the Louisville and Nashville had
declared nr* embargo against It, because
certain cars were not unloaded prompt
ly, although the company was paying
demurrage charges. On the under-*
standing that the embargo Is lifted, no
hearing on the matter will he had.
It Is probable that the commission
will take up for discussion Wednesday
complaints of citizens of Marietta,
Gainesville, Cednrtown, Griffin, Hnhlra,
PInehurst nnd Elko relative to shutting
off telegraph service at those, points.
According to Information from Gaines
ville, the offices at that point have been
opened again.
In communications to the railroad
commission, the telegraph companies do
not acknowledge a strike, but state
that their offices are still kept open. At
points where commercial bilslness Is
handled by the station agents, the com
panies claim that messages are pur
posely delayed, grounded or held up be
cause the station agent Is in real sym
pathy with the'strikers.
While no formal notice has been sent
to the telegraph companies to appear
Wednesday, the commission will proba
bly begin an Investigation Into the sit
uation. It will probably develop to Just
what extent the strike Is affecting the
companies.
At the meeting Wednesday the com
mission will take up the complaint of a
cltlxen of Atlanta against the Atlanta
Gas Company. He complained that the
company refused to put In a slot meter,
because he was compelled. to go Into
bankruptcy owing them a small amount.
The exact rights of a citizen will be
established In such Issues.
Tuesday a conference wns held be
tween the commission. Judge Hines,
Hooper Alexander. W. A. Wlmblsh and
Attorney General Hart. The litigation
now under way relative to the passen
ger reduction Issue was discussed at
length.
