V.\ LL TO THE SOUTHERN
Growers Hold an Important Meet
ing In the Town of Adairs*
ville Last Week-
At a mass meeting of citizens,
held at the city hall Monday after
noon, Col. J. VV. Gray was called
to the chair, says an Adairsville
dispatch.
Col. L. A. Dean, of Rome, one
of the largest fruit growers of the
state, stated the object of the meet
ing to be a preparatory meeting to
be held in Rome, growing out of
one held here some time ago to
secure better freight accommoda
tions for the peach crop.
Meetings have been called at dif
ferent places in northwest Georgia
for this week. At these meetings,
called by Mr. G. H. Miller, presi
dent of the Northwestern Fruit
Growers’ Association, delegates
will be appointed to attend a gen
eral meeting in Rome, December
9th.
Col. Dean, one of the. largest
growers, attended the meeting and
introduced the following resolu
tions:
“Resolved, Tnat Messrs N. C.
Anderson, G. A. Veach, G. M.
Boyd, J, A. Price and J. F. Bray be
•and are appointed delegates from
this section, with instructions to
meet with the delegates from other
counties in north Georgia at a
meeting to be held in Rome, Ga.,
on December 9th, for the purpose
of agreeing upon a plan and put
ting the same in operation, tend
ing to the reduction of freight rates
and the improvement of our service
for handling peaches from , north
Georgia.
•‘Resolved, further, That ,ve
heartily commend the movement
under consideration, and recom
mend all fruit growers in north
Georgia to co operate with any
reasonable plan that may be agreed
upon by the delegates,”
On motion of Mayor G. M. Bovd
the resolution was adopted without
a contrary vote.
The questions near to the grow
ers in this section are rapid, cheap
freight and proper regulations,
with a less minimum number of
crates per car. The question of
rapid movement and proper icing
was also discussed.
Before the meeting adjourned
Dr. J. P. Bowdoin introduced a
resolution creating a committee to
invite the Southern railway to in
vestigate this section and its re
sources and ask them to investi
gate the feasibility of building the
proposed line from Gainesville o
Rome, through our peach orchaids
and iron mines. This committee
is composed of Dr. J. P. Bowdoin,
G. M. Boyd, H. M. Yeach, N. C.
Anderson and Dr. R. S. Bradley
They will prepare their formal
invitation in a tew days. The
Southern line from Chattanooga
to Atlanta passes in six miles of
the town and a line to connect
with at or near Pinson's mill cut
the orchards in the center. Adairs
ville shipped more Elberta peach
es this season than any other place
in the world.
The direct line from here would
cut off at least five hours' time
to eastern markets, also open
over the Southern’s own lines to
the west via Birmingham a trunk
line for passenger and mail trains.
The line would also go through
the iron beds of the countv ami
the marble or Cherokee and ck
ens counties. The territory isricn
in timber and minerals.

with new remedies, no matter how
highly they may be recommended.
There is one preparation that can lie

MISFO'RTUJVES
Hardships Endured by a "PlucKy
'Woman XVho XVent Erom
Germany to AlasKa.
Frail A. Xchiolianowsky, said to lie
of noble Polish birth, has been
brought to this city from Nome on .the
steamship Garonne insane, safs the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. No tale of
indomitable courage and hard luck in
fighting the hardships of the north is
known which can compare with the
story of what this woman has done
alone.
Frau Sehiclmnowsky came to this
country from Berlin. In the European
metropolis she moved in cultured cir
cles and was herself an artist of abili
ty. In 1900 she landed in Nome, with
little money and alone. Without a
word of English and friendless the
brave woman set about mastering tiie
dangers of a wild land.
Why Frail Xchichanowsky left the
fatherland is not known. Ail that can
be learned of her is that on the death
of her husband she phu forth
to win a fortune in Alaska.
The exorbitant cost of living in an
Alaska gold camp when the fever was
at its height soon exhausted her slen
der resources. Acting on the advice of
a fellow countryman, she determined
to prospect in the Neuklug river coun
try. With a pack on her back, far too
heavy for her woman’s strength, she
set out for Council City.
Iler way lay across the cold tundra.
For three days she tramped, slipping
over knee deep in the treacherous
slush and mud. Prospectors she in
stinctively avoided. By the third day
the strain of the hard trip had ex
hausted her strength. Smitten with
fever and weakened by hardship, she
turned blindly hack to Nome. How
she rAched the city is not known, but
there she found shelter in a small tent
on the tundra. She was found ex
hausted by a Roman Catholic priest,
who gave her the only shelter to be
had—on the boards of his church floor.
On her recovery Frau Scliichauow
sky started again for Council City, ar
riving safely. Winter was at hand,
and the only shelter she could find was
in an abandoned shack on the outskirts
of the camp. This she repaired and
made habitable. A stove was con
structed of tin cans picked up about
the camp. The body was a five gallon
oil can and the pipe made of smaller
cans. She lived in the cabin all winter
alone. She saw but few human beings.
In the spring Frau Schichanowsky
located some rich claims. Before she
could file notice of possession they had
been jumped. She built an addition to
her cabin and started a store. She
turned her artistic ability .to account
by sign wri'ing. A stock of cigars,
sweets, pressed flowers and bright toys
sold well, and she gained a comforta-
yr
SHE WAS FOUND EXHAUSTED BY A PRIEST,
ble Income. I.ater she located other
claims, profiting by her experience and
keeping their location secret.
Frau Schichanowsky built most of
her cabin with her own hands. During
her residence in Council City she trans
formed the rude shack into a home of
culture and comfort. Every bit added
to the place was her own handiwork.
The interior was bizarre. Huge fir
rugs obtained from natives covered the
floor. On the walls were hung colored
prints framed in rough bark and bits
of moss in an artistic manner. Pic
tures of her own. one of which ob
tained a prize in Berlin and another
honorable mention, were on the walls.
A huge pair of antlers hung from the
ceiling, supporting an empty cocoanut
shell which served as a candle holder.
A large, beautifully colored Paisley
shawl, relic of her former Life In Ger
many, curtained one end of the room.
Further misfortunes were in store
for the plucky womap. She obtained
lots in Council City, which were later
stolen from h r. She f>.} many of
her neighbors men of wolf ' cruelty.

An Attempt to Point a Moral Which

a<*Short time ago and \va-; directing
the work of anew “hand," a boy of
about seventeen. Like all bovs of
that age, he was forgetful, careless
and heedless, though good 11aaired

morning, the librarian thought lie
would •indirectly give the lad some

How Oom Paul Got Religion.
Stephen us Johannes Paulus Kru
ger, the last president of the Boer
republic, was one of the most re
ligious of men. He was brought up
in a pious Dutch family and was
never a bad boy, but it is said that
many years ago, when Kruger was
a young married man, lie “got re
ligion” in a most striking and char
acteristic way. One day he handed
an open Bible to his wife and asked
her to read several chapters which
he had marked. While she was read
ing he left the house. For several
days he was missing, and finally a
party of friends went out to look
for him. They came back without
a trace of the missing man, only
reporting that they had heard some
one singing far off on the moun
tains. A day or two later another
searching party went out. Thi* time
they found Kruger in a condition
of almost complete exhaustion, hav
ing gone entirely without food or
water during his absence. He had
gone up into the hills to wrestle
with himself in prayer.
Needed art Examination.
Representative Bourke Coc-kran
was seated in his law office one day
recently when one of the clerks an
nounced a visitor. The orator was
very busy, but the man refused to
tdU his business to a clerk, insisting
that it was a personal matter and he
muAt see Mr. Cockran himself.
“Well, show him in,” said the
lawyer finally in disgust.
“I want to get some legal advice,
Mr. Cockran,” said the visitor, “and
I came to you because I am a poor
man and cannot afford to pay a real
lawyer.”
“What do you mean?” thundered
the representative indignantly.
“Well, I mean that as a politician
yon will not be hard oa one of your
constituents. Besides, I have an
other claim on you; my aunt does
washing for one of your cousins.”
“My dear sir,” said the lawyer in
his most withering tones as he ush
ered the visitor out, “you don’t
want to see a lawyer. Y'ou want to
see a nerve specialist.” —Xew York
