with their hands held high up. In front

The Elite Grocery.
There is one establishment in Rome

Lloyd makes it a point to handle the
newest, the freshest, and best of every
thing in the line of fancy and family
groceries. During the holiday season the
people want to purchase large quantities
of raisins, citrons, cnrrants, nuts, candies,
mince meat, figs, prunes, jellies, spices
and condiments of all kinds, and Lloyd's
Fair is the place to find them in all their
freshness and purity, at popular prices.
Only a few months ago he was forced to
move down town to secure larger quarters
and now his place, “The Elite Grocery,’’
is the center of attraction, especially on
Saturdays when the people are in search
of something nice for Sunday dinners.
He beats the world on, always having
something new to tempt the appetite,
and carries a full line of fresh vegetables
and country produce, and if there is any
thing especially desirable in the way of
crisp and tender celery and other vege
tables you can always find them at Lloyd’s.
His candies at popular prices go like hot
cakes, and therefore are always fresh.

Mr. H. L. Selleck, representing the
New York capitalists who are preparing
to open the new bauxite mines, on the
Maddox and Graydoa farms, was in the
city yesterday.
“You got us down for a little costlier
plant than we are putting in,” said he,
“but we are going to have the best equip
ped plant in the South.
“We are now preparing to get the en
gine and boiler, which we purchased
here, out to the site of the plant which
will be three and a half miles from Shan
non, our shipping point.
“One reason why the plant will not be
so costly is that the material for operating
costs less here than we have been accus
tomed to paying at the North.
“We expect to be in operation by Jan
uary 1, and, when our plant is completed,
it will be fully equipped with all the
modern improvements, including a rotary
drier that will exclude all the moisture
and raise the percentage of alumina in
the ore.
“We are getting out sample carloads
now and later on we will build sidetracks
from the Southern railroad out to the
works.
•‘We have 200 acres of the finest min
eral lands in this section and will be able
to market a very high grade of ore. By
the way. we have sold 500 tons, already,
to one of our strongest competitors, to
be delivered so soon as we can get the ore
in marketable shape.”
When buying Christmas presents
remember we have an elegant line
of table linen, doylies, napkins and
towels, these will be fine presents
and we have them cheap, J, Kuttner,

ORDINABY’d COURT.
J idge Jahn P, Davis Holdsan Ineeatiig
Session.
Mrs. Joana Montgomery for herself and
as next best friend of John Thomas
Montgomery plead for annullment of the
will of the late Thomas J. Montgomery.
The amount involved was little but
the case was interesting on account of
the evidence. Sixteen years before her
marriage to Mr. Montgomery her first
husband ran away. Three months after
the deatn of Mr. Montgomery a posthumas
child was born and on the child’s account
its mother asked to hate the will set
aside and the residue of it be made ovir
to said child, she having already gotten
the widow’s usual yearly support.
It will be remembered that in the
January term of Floyd superior couit she
was charged with murdering her husband, I
the father of this baby, but was acquitted
as it was in evidence that her step-son, a '
child of her first husband who lan away,
did the killing and this boy in turn lied
and has not been apprehended.
Judge Davis passed an order setting
aside the will, for in fact there was no
contest over it to amount to much.
Application was made for an executor
to the estate of the late John H. Whir
ton. Judge Lavis appointed J. B. 8.
Wharton and tue bond was fixed at fifty
five hundred dollars.
