THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TIirnfcDAY. SBTTR3IBBB 13. MOfc FRIENDS FALL OUT AND FIGHT ABOUT MONEY FOUND IN SACK Understanding About Division of Expenses Did Not Extend to Division of Prize For Purchaser. Snma one Mid that the love of money •u the root of all evil. It may be, but everybody eeema to be looking for a ■prig. It la recorded that effort! have been made to do a bit of grafting In thla growing of the financial tree. Be that aa It may. however, a atory was unearthed recently at a local grocery afore which ha» all the earmarks of being unique In Its exposition of the grasping spirit, with particular refer ence to money. It goes to disprove the statement that chickens and children will not mix, but demonstrates that when the almighty dollar enters lit there Is likely to lie discord, resulting In personal differences betweeh two well-regulated families. And It Was the almighty dollar—Just one of them—that caused the trouble. Intemperate words filled the air for u time, and then, losing entire control of their ordinary sweet tempers, two •women clinched, pulled hnlr and scratched at eyes In a manner to make the neighbors alt up and take notice and give them something to talk about for many a day to come. Then, when two honest, hard work ing, loving husbands reached home that night there was more discussion, re sulting in a four-cornered, knock-down- und-drag-out scrap, which wended Its way Into the police court, where the belligerents were told to go tlielr way In peace, but refrain In future from the use of flats and finger nails. It all came about through the plan of a local wholeMle grocery company to advertise a brand of flour which was called "Money Flour.” A coin, ranging In value from 6 cents to tl, was placed In every sack. A 24-pound sack of the flour sells for about 70 cents. If you happen to get the sack containing ihe iloll/ir you not only got your Hour for nothing, but make 30 rents on the deal. This Information was Imparted by the wholesale grocer to the retail gro' corn, and "Money Flour” commenced to have a big sale. m Now, If chanced that one of the re tailers operated a store In the neigh borhood where two families lived In one house In happiness and domestic serenity. They divided the expenses of rent, of gas, of water, of fuel, of all household purchases. It was under stood perfectly that the expense was to be shared half and half. But at the time thla agreement was entered Into neither tf the families had any Idea that, like Joseph's brothers of old, they would be finding tbe pur chase money In the mouth of the sack. Ho when one good hoifsewlfe went to the corner grocery and pur chased a sack of "Money Flour," she assumed that the big. round, bright new silver dollar which rolled out be longed to her, even though her co resident was obligated to pay half the purchase price. But when this Information was com municated to the co-resident, the co resident demurred. That precipitated the difference which resulted In the pulling of hair and scratching of eyes, and later In the use by angry men of muscular fists. The neighbors heard all about It— neighbors always do—and now the cor ner grocer has difficulty In keeping "Money Flour."

Our representatives have gone direct to' the fountain heads of style; the inspiration ot Paris and Loudon; studied the effects, the lines and the color schemes of the Period and have brought them back and modernized them here for you.
