AIM COLLEGE,
State Norma! School to Have Addi
tional Room.
COMMISSION MET
And the Building Was Decided Upon—It Will
Be Erected During the Spring and
Will Soon Be Ready for
Occupancy.
I'ruin Thursday’s Banner.
The State Normal School is to have a
new building at an early date.
That is the decision arrived at by the
Normal School commission.
The commission held a meeting in
Athens yesterday and discussed the
needs of the school as to better accom
modations.
It was decided to have a building
erected which will suit for an assembly
room and recitation rooms.
That will give more room in the dor
mitory buildings and will probably be
the best arrangement that conld he
made.
The new building will be erected
some time during the coming spring.
It will be a two-story building, and
will contain a large auditorium or as
sembly room and a number of recitation
rooms.
The need of an assembly hall has
long been recognized and when it is
provided much better work can be done
at the Normal School.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been

Miss Mildred Rutherford, president of
the Athens Chapter of the Daughters of
J. li. Riker, Former Atlantian, Commits Sui
cide in Chattanooga.
Atlanta, Ga,, Jan. 19.—A telegram
was received from Chattanooga last
night announcing the suicide of J. H.
Hiker, who at one time lived in this
city. The tragic death of Riker recalls
some of the history of his life and some
of tin- episodes in the life of Ins alleged
wife, who is now residing in Atlanta.
Hiker's wife is a negro woman, al
though so nearly white as to pass for a
white* person among those who do not
know her.
The telegram received from Chatta
nooga was as follows:
"Chattanooga, Teun., Jan. IS.—J. H.
Riker, local agent of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, suicided to
night by taking an ounce of laudanum.
He had been drinking and it is asserted
by his friends that he was suffering
from temporary insanity. He was re
garded as a substantial citizen.
"Riker came to Chattanooga from
Atlanta in 1890, where he has resided
since. Three years ago there was a
disagreement between Riker. and his
wife, when she left him and is now
Atlanta. Ho was a member of the
Grand Army of the Republic, having
served in the Sixteenth Illinois regi
ment during the war, and was also
member of the Masonic fraternity.”
Mrs. Riker now resides in Atlanta.
At one time she sent her children to the
Walker street school, and they were
there for some mouths before it was as
certained they were not white. When
the fact that they had negro blood in
them became known they were sent
from the school and then names stricken
from the rolls.
Mrs. Riker has been arrested a time
or two for selling whisky and beer with
out a liceuse,
At one time she was in the county
jail for selling whisky to the soldiers
near McPherson barracks.
She aud Riker lived here together as
man aud wife, but at that time it was
not known she was a negress.
There are two or three of Riker’
children buried in Oakland cemetery
and they are interred in the portion of
the cemetery allotted to the white peo
pie.
He had been away from Atlanta for
several years and there aro not* many
people in the city who remember much
about him.

Doge’s Secret of Success.
There was once a man out west of the
name of Boggs, aud everything went
his way. He was so fortunate as to be
the object of touch curiosity and com
ment among Ws associates and acquaint
ances, who asked him how he played
his game. Mr. Boggs replied tbat he
worked on a theory that was left him
as a legacy by his father, who was one
of the most successful men be had ever
known. He divided his property among
the o(her children, and to his eldest
son, John Boggs, he left the family Bi
ble as a token of his love and confidence
and added that “within its pages you
will find the secret of my success in
life.”
Boggs was a good deal put out, but
he had a philosophical temperament,
and nobody discovered his chagrin and
his feeling of envy toward his brothers
and sisters, who divided the real and
personal property. The next Sunday,
having nothing better to do, he took
down the Holy Word from the shelf
and, turning over its pages, discovered
sealed envelope which bore his name
written in the well known hand of his
father. Tearing it open, he found a
short but significant sentence upon
sheet of paper. In telling his story
Boggs said tbat he had faithfully fol
lowed his father’-s dying injunction, and
the theory which the old man had prac
ticed so successfully bad been equally
valuable to himself.
Then, of course, everybody sprang up
and inquired what was written on that
piece of paper.
“Only this,” said Boggs: “ ‘Lots of
good things are lost by not asking for
them. ’ ”—Chicago Record.
