the story ot a little foundling baby
who waa picked up on an Atlanta
doorstep rears ago, and wbo now

never been pierced, but the name
she goes by now Is May Belle Wil
liams.
One windy night In March Just
sir years ago T. C. Williams found
the little mite lying abandoned In
front of his door. Ho and his wife
took the homeless bahy In, and as
the years passed grew to love It
moro and more. Fruitless searches
were made to discover the Identity
of the parents, and Anally were
■fclven up.
Yesterday Mr. Williams, who Is
now a well-to-do farmer and court
official In the Buckhead district,
made formal application to the su
perior court of Fulton county, to
adopt the little girl as his own
daughter In order that she might
be made the heir to his estates.

almanac of a case similar to mine, and
I commenced using it.
“I was not able to wait on. myself
when I began using It. I gained very
slowly at first, but I could aeo that it
was helping me.
“After I had taken It a while I com
menced to raise up a stringy, atlcky
substance from my lungs. This grew
less and less in quantity as I continued
the treatment.
“I grew more fleshy than I had been
for a long time, and now I call myself
well."

MAN WAS BADLY HURT.
Foiwyth County Citizen was Held
up on AtlhnUa Street.
Atlanta, Oa., Jan. 19—-The tragic
old explanation, "he thought It
wasn’t loaded," which hog been tne
key-note to go many fatal shootings,
can henceforth be applied to bottles
as well fu guns, all because of the
experience of M. R. Hooper, a
Forsyth- county farmer, who was
picked up by the police on Decator
street last night with a gaah In hla
head and his clothing in general dis
order.
An empty whiskey bottle by his
side led them to suppose he had
been drinking and had fallen on hla
head. But later developments prov
ed that he had been the victim of
an empty bottle, not a full one.
Somebody had used It as a weapon
to knock him. In the head.

The Ironclad Vessel.
The famous naval battle in
Hampton Roads w«w the first real
test of tho ironclad vessel. Before
that memorable affair there had
been one or two armored craft, but
they had not been tried in battle.
The Hampton Roads fight sounded
the doom of the wooden warship.
It was seen at once that such ves
sels were useless against craft like
the Monitor of Merrimac, and the
navies of the world were instanta
neously revolutionized. Since 1862
no nation has had other than ar
mored warships.—New York Amer

Cassy's Picture.
Casey decided to go into business,
so he bought out a small livery
stable and had a painter make a
sign for him showing him astride a
mule. He had this sign placed in
front of the stable and was quite
proud of it. His friend Finmgan
nappened along and stood gazing at
the sign.
“That’s a good picture of me,
ain’t it?" asked Casey.
“Sure; it looks something like
you," said Finnigan, “but who the
Jevil is the man on your back ?”—

Rev. L. L. O’Kelley of Thomaa-
rille, was a visitor to Valdosta yes
terday. V
Barney, that enterprising and
thrifty little town on the South
Georgia railroad, in the northern
part of Brooks county, its to have a
lot sale. Often a town had a lot sale
because it has nothing else better
to do, but this le not the Case with
Barney. The land In the immediate
vicinity was held by thret, or font
men who had plenty and who did
not have to sell and they didn’t sell.
The vacant lots in the town for sale
were gobbled up and built on until
there was nowhere left for au,
to go and no houses for rent. Pec
pie coming to town were forced to
board themselves and their famlll
till some one vacated or they could
build. New houses were built aat*
there was more demand than supply.
The surrounding country was
ranging for the beggest crop year
in its history and relief waif nec
essary. Then the Cambridge Realty
Co., of Cambridge, O., town develop
ers, appeared In the person of C. W.
Stuart,‘their hustling field manager,
and went over the situation with T.
A. Rozier, the genial postmaster of
Barney, and Mr. Rozier consented,
for the benefit of the town, to allow
about sixteen acres between
own commodious residence and tn«*
Methodist and Baptist churches and
the public school building to be pre
pared and offered for sale which will
take place Saturday, January 21,
all day on the grounds at Barney.
The plat has been named Edgewood,
the name being given by Miss Ro
zier, the charming daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. T. A. Rozier.
Barney Intends to make the day
a gala day and a brass hand ha«
been secured for the day. Daylight
firework* and balloon display will
also add zest to the occasion.
