Age IS to 35 years smJB-JHS- Kxcellrnt opportunity One of Cedartown’s most prominent and highly esteemed ladles passed a- way Friday when Mrs. Thos. Adam son waB summoned hence. An es peclally sad feature of her death Is the fact that her sister,Mrs. Elizabeth Woodward, who has long lived with her,and another sister In Philadelphia are both critically ill. Pneumonia was the immediate cause of her death. As Miss Sallle V. Wright the de ceased was a native of Maryland, and nearly fifty-one years ago was united In marriage with Hon. Thos. Adam son. The success of a diplomat of any country Is dependent in a largo degree on his wife, and In Mr. Adam son's responsible consular dutieB as the representative of the United States at Panama, Melbourne, Rio do Janeiro and Pernambuco he had In her a helpmeet Indeed, her grace and charm of manner especially fitting her to aid him. Two children were horn to them, Messrs. Charles and Joseph Wright Adamson, who are umong Cedartown’s most useful and valued citizens. Mrs. Adamson came here In 181)2 with her husband, who has been one of the leading factors In tho Codar- town Cotton & Export Co., of which he Is the treasurer, and has made many friends during her residence here. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community. Funeral services were conducted at 10 a m. Monday by Rev. Geo. E. Bene dict A PLEASANT OCCASION. Mr. Chas. E. Kuster, of the Kuster Manufacturing Co., entertained the employees of his factory at a big turkey dinner Monday evening at the mill. Seventy-five people wore seated at the table, and short talks were made by Mr. Kuster and Rev. W. W. Powell. The festivities closed with a Christ mas tree, at which all the employees were remembered by Mr. Kuster, be sides which he gave special prizes of value as a reward fot; marked In dustry. 1 he occasion was a very pleasant one, and was oue of those occasions which bring employer and employee In closer touch.

SIGNS THAT SPEAK VOLUMES Sucks and Stones Have a Language of Their Own and 8erve to Indicato Di rection, Departure, Intention, Warn ing, Claim or Demand. As time bus nessed Ujpd civilization has cImaged' Indian cofditlons, I was under the Impression that our red brothers had forgotten tho use of signs In their travels, but as I was loitering ubout tho hills la Siskiyou county some time ago f came across u genuine Indian sign such ns I had not seen for u dozen years Ijefore. It was a almple little sign In appearance, but It was full of meaning to those who could read It—a long stick with one end stuck In the ground, the other leaning and pointing up the road. Tho stick wns clevnted st nil-angle of only nbout ten degrees from the ground and wns supported on a stone. It tobl some Indlnn that his friend had been along there and had gone ahead In the direction pointed out by tile slick. I marveled at it, but on investiga tion found that tho Indians of Califor nia atlll use signs to convey Intelli gence to each ench. 1 found that I among the Cocopahs, Cohulllas, Timas nml Yu mils tho sign is us much In use ns ovor. While traveling l n g un Bernardino county later on I came ferries a pecu liar grouping of stones, and nt once saw that some Indlnn had left a sign so that njl other Indian* might know that water Was to lie Bind In n cer tain direction:..The atonies were lylug in n complete circle, nml In the center wns a long triangular stone with the Sharp) fkilrit ftidlenttng a "specific direc tion. The algo was plain to one versed ln such things, and In order to see If the same sign wns universal, for I had seen It elsewhere, I followed the direc tion pointed out by the long stone and found a little spring. ThlB arrangement of stones I had often scon In a dozen different places ln the middle west and as a variant which was also found ln California. I have seen a mound of stones slmllsr to a miner's monument, with a pointed stone resting on top, pointing toward water. In many pnrts of ths country, especially ln the desert pnrts of Cali fornia and Arizona, the question of water supply for travelers Is one that requires serious consideration, and I have known men to pass within a fow hundred yards of water without know ing It, because they eould not read In dlnn signs. The sign wns ln plain view and w-ns placed there heenuse the Indians recognized the necessity of tell ing nil who came along that they could And water. True, there wnB not a big board set up with "Water" painted on It, but to the Initiated It was equally plnlu. There is uet a trail in all the southwest that runs nenr a spring that does not have the sign openly display ed. I have even seen instances where the water wns so fur from the regular trail that special signs have l>eeu made to show where It Is. Sometimes, however, theso circles may not mean water nt all, and then It Is necessary to understand the lutri- Collar Label “5hie/d^ IT’S A RISK To buy Clothing from a general ap pearance stand point, as all suits, even the poorest grades, look goed belore they are worn.

Climbing 199 Steps to Church. The only way of reaching the old parish church at Whitby, in York shire, from the town Is by means of 100 stone steps—probably as curious an approach to a place of worship as any lu the kingdom. The church stands on the east cliff some 200 feet above the sea level, and to watch the crowd of worshipers before and after Service threading Its way up and down ■* ttu> winding stairway Is a sight to be remembered.—Loudon Strand. her once when 1 was hunting on the Republican river 1 came across u circle of buffalo skulls, which attracted my attention because of their peculiar ar rangement. Sixteen skulls were set In a semicircle with their noses pointing down the river. In the center of the circle wns n skull on which were paint ed thirty-six red Ihies. Near the skulls were two Rmall sticks placed upright ln the ground, and at the top of ench stick were tied two bundles of hair. A Pawnee Indian was with uie and told me that thirty-six Pawnees had camped there. They hud made n raid against n camp of C’omauehes contain ing sixteen tents or lodges and had taken four scalps. They were now re turning home down the river. To tho ordinary observer thlH arrangement of skulls and sticks would have given no more Impression than the idea that Borne one hud lieen amusing himself by playing with these buffalo skulls. To the Indian the arrangement was complete story. Indians use signs for several specific purposes, the most prevalent being that of guidance, but they are also used for direction, departure. Intention, condi tion, warning and claim or demand. I wns hunting with a party of Utea In southwestern Colorado, and we had separated with the understanding that we were to meet again at a specified place and all go back to the village to gether. On reaching the appointed plnce one of the party wns not there, but tho rest Rtnrted to the village, pay ing no attention to his nonappearance. I asked If they were not going to wait until he came back, hut they said he had been there and had goue on to the village without waiting for us to come up. When I expressed surprise I was shown a long stick standing ln the trail with n hunch of grass fastened to Its top. The stick wns leaning toward the village, and this told the story of the missing man as plainly as If he had written a letter about It I found that a Blmllar stick hnd been erected nt the top of every hill between there and where the village could be seen, lie took no chances of the sticks fall ing down and told the story over sev eral times. The same sign Is used by the Indians of southern Alaska and also by the Wlnnebagoes of Manitoba. The Sioux use a split stick with a short stick In the split, pointing ln the direction tak en.—San Francisco Chronicle. Sale of Real Estate.
