The Georgian: I have solved the “egg problem" In site will again have to go out Into the world this afternoon's Georgian. For the 21 | ,n "id't. vents left by Mr. Jones, the grocer should have sent Mrs. Jones 16 eggs. This would make the eggs cost 18 cents a dozen. But If eggs had been selling at 2 cents per dozen less than they now are. then he should have sent Mrs. Jones is eggs, as the price would then be 1« cents per dozen. Youra truly. O. H. B. BLOODWORTH.

Shades of Oglethorpe and the rest of the old-timers! Yes, one department of the great state of Georgia Is practically stalled because of a lack of postage ntampa and money to buy them. It doesn't mean, of course, that this department will have to wait until the legislature meets In order to get a few pontage stamps. But the department will have to wait until the first of the new year, for Uncle Sam requires cash for the stamps he sella. This department Is the railroad com mission and at present nnd for the past ten days Secretary George P*. Montgomery has had part of his work at a standstill because he has no stamps. stamps and because there Is no appro priation available with which to pur chase any. , j. These stamps are necessary to place upon the big batch of annual reports of the commission that Secretary Montgomery has been sending over the country. He kept them going through the malls as long as the stamps lasted and then he had to suspend operations. This was ten days ago ami the work will not commence until after the first of the new year. It so happens that the appropriation available for the railroad commission for this year was exhausted some time ago and at present there are a few bills unpaid because of the lack of money. Another appropriation will be avail able on January 1, and then these bills will be paid and Secretary Montgom ery will be able to buy some postage !TI IN PDLICE COURT PLEADS FOB MERCY “Take this woman away.
