The Idea of the r l.eme la to encourage holders of the lianka to place therein their email • hanga each day and. at. the .end of the. v« eek or the month take them to the Fourth National Bank and have the contents deposited to their credit. As nobody hut the hank offlclala have the k.-v to the little banks, the spending of the money after once being put In Is impossible. The savings department of the Fourth National Bank la in the way of an Innovation, having never before been In uae at that Institution. Presl- den* English Is a Arm believer In the stematlc saving of money and his Interest In the working classes and the young people In the saving and Peking of money Is shown In the new ib i art men t added to the bank.

Unconquered by death, Taarab still reigns paramount over all other cwpra. Mascot supreme during hla four years of residence on this earth, no less a sponsor for good luck Is he In the whereafter of Goatland, and as the greatest of departed goats, he has ac- ceptsd the title of official mascot of the undertakers of Atlanta and as such his head will accompany the Atlanta delegation to the coming convention In Macon. With much ceremony Taarab waa burled Sunday morning at 10 o’clock at the No. 7 engine house In West End. Even though hla head had been de prived of him, Taarab was given more honor In the last rites over his body than even the two-headed goats that contributed to the fame of P. T. Bar- num. There were fifteen members of the fire department present at the fu neral, as well as fifty or more rank outsiders, who seemed to think them selves privileges to butt In lust be cause It was a goat'a funeral. At 10:10 o'clock taps was sounded over the grave of headless Taarab. Taarab's head was delivered to Bar clay A Brandon, who prepared It for E reservation, and who will act as eeper for ths head when It attends the coming convention of undertakers. Is fitting that this should be the first act of moscotlng after his death. I might be said, too, that It was thor oughly consistent that Taarab, If I was necessary for him to leave the en glne houee for a land of never-ending fire hose and baseballs, to depart on the day of the month known aa "23.” Taarab II Is now looming In sight. He Is residing with Ernest Gilbert Bentley at 111 Hill street. Chief Joy ner received a letter Monday morning from Ernest, who offers to donate hie pet to the fire department! Taarab, as all aristocratic goats are, was born on ths Atlanta dumping ground. John Jentxen, of the sanitary department of Atlanta, has assured Chief Joyner that the fire department should have another goat from that same stock. ■Several other goats have bein of fered to the fire department, but none has been accepted as yet. In this con nection It might be mentioned that applicants for the position of official billy goat to the Atlanta fire depart ment, the Atlanta baseball team, the Shrfners and grand parade leader must also lack the falling of most goats, as Taarab did. , LOCAL NEWS CONDENSED Smoker and Banquet, At the home of the society on Cen tral avenue on next Friday evening at S o'clock, the Oglethorpe Association of Stationary Engineers will glvs a smoker and banquet, to which several prominent guests have been Invited.
