Cohutta, Ga., March 31.—
jj ear Red Clay on last Friday was
found the body of a stranger ly
ing prone upon bis face in the
road, dead, bis band still liolding
ioitl grasp, his bridle rein.
On examination and inquiry it
w as found to he a man named
Kelly from Polk county, Tenn.
u e was traveling through the
country buying up old copper.
I lie verdict of the jury was
that he came to his death from
natural causes, heart disease most
likely.
The remains of Mr. James Ben
nett were brought to Cohutta, the
home of his parents, on Saturday
from Atlanta and wereinterred at
Wesleyan cemeteiy on Sunday.
Sunday was a day of funerals.
Mrs. Alfred Tilley who died in
Bradley county, Tenn., was
brought to Mt. Olivet cemetery
and laid to rest alongside of loved
ones gone before.
Miss Ada Groves accompanied
Miss Claude Shugart to her home
in Cleveland, Tenn., this week.
There are only five contestants
for the post office tt Cohutta.
The social gathering at Mrs. M.
J. Bryants on the evening of the
26th inst was well attended and
much enjoyed by all present. All
voted Miss Jimmie a most charm
ing hostess.
Dr. Gordon Hamel, of West
View, was circulating among his
friends and practicing his profes
sion, as a dentist, in our com
munity the past week.
Some of the road overseers out
side of the “ copperation, ” vow
they will break up the corporation
because it keeps the majority of
the hands on the streets and
makes such a scarcity on their
parts of the road, so much so that
they cannot meet the require
ments of the law.

Farmers With Bank Accounts.
If history repeats itself and
what has been shall come to pass
again, the southern planter will
he on top again.
Before the war it was the rule
and custom for the merchant to
borrow all his money from the
planter and once every year they
would have a settlement with a
nice sum on the profit side of both
the merchants’ and farmers’ ledg
er. ’
On this line the Southern States
Magazine prints an interesting in
terview from W. S. Witham, of
Atlanta, which we reproduce be
low. Mr. Witham is president of
twenty or more banking institu
tions in this state. These banks
are located in small towns in all
parts of Georgia. He states that
three-fourths of the deposits in
these batiks are owned by farmers.
Mis interview is as follows: *
" Many farmers are stoekhold-
ers hi our banks, and many more
carry deposits regularly, about
three-fourths of the deposits be-
hig made by them. Some carry
88 ln tich as from $1,000 to $3,000.
^ do not believe that this condi-
hon is confined by any means to
0Ul banks, but it applies to all
hanks in the country districts.
This money has been made in the
last two or three years largely be-
°ause the farmers have diversified
their crops so as to gain an inde
pendent footing and have raised
e °tton as a surplus crop. I have
traveled in all parts of the state
aa d have not only seen evidences
the prosperity of our farmers,
ut have met in all directions
As a contribution to a hopeful
and healthy view of the future of
the fanners of Georgia, Mr.-With-
am’s interview is a striking contri-
Our people have heard
so much of debt and depression,
of mortgages, low prices, and hard
times generally, that it is refresh-
m g in the extreme to hear that
some people in the state, and es
pecially among the agricultural
classes, are quietly and solidly
prospering. For the sake of the
fanner it is hoped the ante-bellum
state of their finances will recur
and the outlpok is generally hope-

Tlie Transgressor’s Way.
Judge John Candler of Atlanta,
in sentencing young Saunders
who stole dray loads of goods from
bis employer, said: “ Here-is an
other case that appeals to me. It'
is nothing unusual for these cases
to come before me. .It’s the same
old question. A mail who earns
$40 per month and spends $80
per month is compelled to steal
$40 per month.
“This is a case which cannot
be treated lightly. I cannot treat
it as a misdemeanor, for in that
event it would give every boy and
young man a license to steal. I
think you all appreciate my posi
tion. It is one that is painful.
The prisoner is a young boy, just
in the prime, of young manhood
with a long life before him.”
Talented. Georgia Woman’s Work.
Among Georgia’s talented wo
men acquiring distinction in the
literary field is Mrs. Gertrude
Manly Jones, the gifted wife of
Colonel Thomas R. Jones, of Dal
ton, one of the most distinguished
lawyers of North Georgia.
Mrs. Jones has been prominently
associated with the Lesehe Club, of
Dalton, Ga., for a number of years,
and her superior literary ability
and familiarity with all questions
pertaining to the advancement and
culture of women has made her
membership a potent factor in the
success of the club, one of the old
est and best organized in the State
federation.
The organization of the Lescbe
Club in the picturesque little city
meant the awakening of a spirit in
that community that has tended
in every way to elevate the stand
ard of education throughout the
country, as well as to increase in
fluences of cultivation imparted
by the women of the club in the
city.
Mrs. Jones has written exten
sively in verse, and her delicate
sentiments have been expressed in
exquisite little poems which she
has rarely published, but read at
social or literary gatherings in her
home. At the urgent solicitation
of her friends and those apprecia
tive of her talents, she lecently
published a book of her poems
that, has been received with the
greatest favor by those fortunate
enough to have reviewed them.
In prose Mrs. Jones has distin
guished herself as a gified writer,
and many of her papers and essays
read at the club meetings have
been finished in their expressions
and replete with matter that indi
cates her appreciative research in
English literature.
Recently Mrs. Jones has con
tributed the libretto towards an
operetta composed by Professor
Shoeller, of Dalton, that has been
pronounced by capable critics a
commendable piece of work. ^
The operetta, entitled “Cohutta,”
has the local charm of having its
scene laid in the Cohutta mount
ains, that make picturesque the
situation of the quaint little North
Georgia town, and it is probable
its production may acquire forAt
popularity not only in that vicinity,
but any place in the State where
it may be presented.
The music is said to be beauti
ful, abounding in sparkling little
airs and choruses, with the libretto,
written by Mrs. Jones and
adopted, has in it the necessary
local touches to add to the great
success of the work.—Wednesday’s

THE DESERTER.
The sun set in the gorgeous west,
The day, reluctant, died: -
Out in the shadowy evening light,-
Across the lawn so wide,
An old man and a little maid
Walked slowly,-side by side.
High above in the summer sky,
The stars came, one by one,
And shed their light on the darkened
earth, 1 -
Which mourned the absent sun.
Sudden, across ths glistening dome,
With one swift, glowing ray,
A meteor flashed. It hastened on
To join the lifeless day.
“See, gran’pa, see!” the child ex
claimed, ' v
“ One ’tar has runned away! ”

ATKINSON’S NEWNAN HOME.
It is Advertised For Sale and Speculation
Is Rife.
Governor Atkinson has offered
his old home place at Newnan for
sale. The advertisement of the
sale has been inserted by him in
the Newnan paper, and will'stand
there until a purchaser is found.
The announcement that the gov
ernor has determined to dispose of
his Newnan home will undoubt
edly cause a good deal olspecula-
tive talk among the politicians
and others throughout the state:
Whether it has any political or
other significance, however, is an
other matter. The governor him
self says it has not. The reason
he wants to sell, he says, is that
he simply wants to get the money
out of the place.
“ I know,” said Governor At
kinson in speaking about the ad
vertisement of the sale, “ that peo
ple will be talking about it, and
will jump to the conclusion that
I am not going to return to New
nan when my term of office ex
pires, but as matters now stand
this is premature. The fact is,
the indications now point to my
return to Newnan, though, of
course, I cannot tell exactly what
may turn up between now and
the next eighteen months. I have
use for the money invested in the
Newnan place, and that is the
reason I have offered it for sale.
The house is right in the center of
Newnan/ It is not my farm place,
which I will keep.”
It may be that Governor At
kinson will settle down in Atlanta
to the practice of law after his
term of office expires. Or he
may accept the management for
some big insurance company. The
governor has lately expressed him
self as being determined to let pol
itics alone for awhile after he goes
out of the executive office, and to
go to work to make money. Like
many of his illustrious predeces
sors he has found that polities
make a man poor instead of en
riching him, and he thinks it is
time to lay by a little for a rainy
day. '
