No better selection could be made nor one that would give more general satisfaction to the people of Georgia.—Athens Banner. For Thin Babies Fat is of great account to a baby ; that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott’s Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as ‘fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat- sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott’s Emul sion. It is as. sweet as wholesome to them. Send, for free sample. tße sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy.

She was sitting before the fire in her room and fell forward into the open fireplace, her clothing catching fire.

It is stated on good authority that. Gainesville may soon have a woolen fac-' tory. The promoters of the enterprises are not yet in position to give out any * detailed information of their plans, but the factory is by no means an improbable prospect. Such an industry besides furnishing employment to a number of operatives with all that means to the business interests qf the place, will prove an incentive to wool growing in this section of the state, where exceptional conditions, according J to those who know, exist for the profit-' able raising of sheep. Vault for the Clerk’s Office- “It doesn’t seem that the grand jury i recommendations do much good in some ’ matters,” said a well known citizen last■ ; week, in discussing the recent actions lof the late grand jury. “If I remember correctly, the last two or three grand: juries have recommended that the office in the rear of the office of the clerk of ' the superior court be fitted up and a strong, safe, fire-proof vault be installed there for the keeping of the public rec-; ords of the county, the present vault; > space being far too inadequate for the i daily increasing amount of records. But no vault has been put in. The last grand jury, I see, noting no doubt the delinquency, gently hinted at the need ■ and didn’t dare recommend the vault, j | thinking, doubtless, that it would be of I little avail.” i NUMBER 5. • Prpching 1 at Presbyterian Church Sunday morning and night at usual hours by Rev. D. J. Blackwell. Public is cordially invited. The G. M. Ry. Business Has been picking up right along for the past few weeks.

Every member is espe cially urged to lay other business aside and be present for one hour at this meet ing. By direction of the president, Mrs. R. Burnett. New Bell at New Holland. A fine new church bell has been hung at the new church recently erected at New Holland. It is a big 1,2C9 pound er and has a deep rich mellow tone which can be heard for several miles. It was formerly in a church at Spartan burg at one of the mill settlements which was injured by tlie water-spent of June, 1903. The bell was washed away at that time, but was afterward recovered. Many True Bilis. The last grand jury was a record breaker for the number of indictments considered. The solicitor general drew * more than 100 bills. Many went from the city court under the new rule allow ing a demand for indictment. There were 50 true bills found, and 17 “no hUU” returned. A great number were passed over as v for the next grand jury•, Os the cases v went up from the city court only one, it is said, that was made by Bud Smith, was returned “no bill.” Many cases which were carried into the city court by private parties weie found to be of not enough importance to call for in dictment. The preceding grand jury found only about a dozen true bills. A Heater for the Court House. Almost the entire court last Saturday went before the grand jury to urge the passage of a recommendation for a steam heater for the court room. The recom mendation will be duly found in the pre sentments which appear in another place in this paper. The January court usu ally meets with some severe weather within the two weeks of the term. With the present arrangement it is im possible to secure and maintain uni formly comfortable temperature in the room. In the neighborhood of the stoves it is insufferably hot. while a short distance away it is very cold. Court business was badly hampered last week and a number of lawyers, jurors, and others are ill fiom the grippe and colds and pneumonia brought on by the extremes of temperatuae. Thomas-Dunlap. A marriage of much interest to a large circle of our readers took place Wednes day, the 18th instant, at Gainesville Ga., when Mr. W. C. Thomas, orginally of this place, was united m marriage to Miss Frances Dunlap. The marriage was a very prominent event of the metropolis of the Blue Ridge, guests from South Carolina be ing present. The family of the bride is not only well known, but most popular, Col. S. C. Dunlap, the father, being very prominent in North Georgia. The bride herself, has a host of friends and is worthy of the love and friendship of which she is the object. She is said to be a beautiful, lovely and domestic young woman. The home of the bride wasZhe scene . of the happy and auspicious event. All of the rooms on the i'»wer floor, and the spacious hall were Hied with guests. One of the rooms was devoted to pres ents, which were very numerous, en tirely filling four large tables. Pictures, china, brie a brae, cut glass, and silver filled ever available space. After the ceremony the bride and groom left for a trip in the flowers. The groom, as many of the readers of this paper know, comes of a noted -and honorable ancestry. Col. John S. Thomas, the grandfather, was a large antebllum landholder, with a multitude of slaves. He was one of the largest planters in this section of the state. He was also a veteran of two wars, his title being won by arduous military service. The grandmother of Mr. Thomas was of noble Welsh extraction, and in her day was one of the most cultured and gracious of woman and hostesses. The parents of Mr. Thomas (the father has been dead several years "s have worthily maintained the lion.. the family, being esteemed and love y a large circle of friends. This paper wishes for the happy young people a sunlit voyage and a happy end. —Milledgeville Union-Recorder.
