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.

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.

CONDENSED STORIES. An Attempt to Point a Moral Which Failed of !tc Furpoce. J. 11. Canfield, librarian of Co lumbia universiiv, toils the follow ing story of an altcnipt "to point a moral,’’ etc. lie was in tlje country 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 and willing. Working with him one morning, the librarian thought lie would •indirectly give the lad some thing to think about and so ?aid: “1 did my first day’s work when T WAS twenty-one, just out of college, TO “say, wa’.n’t you lucky?” and I got only a dollar a month more than you are getting. But 1 was steadily advanced by the firm till I was soon getting a hundred dollars a month. I am not sure, hut I aJ-ways thought I got on be cause I took an interest in my work, remembered my instructions, kept tools picked up .and let my head save my heels,” etc. At the of the “lesson” the lad looked up with an interest which was encouraging and said: “Say, wa’n’t you darned lucky not to have to do a lick of work till you wts twenty-one!” Xew York Times. 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 Herald. Silencing a Bore. In a company of literarv men in London a bore who thought he wrote poetry, after complaining that the critics had entered into a con spiracy of silence against him, asked one of his hearers what he would advise him to do. “Join it,” was lb ■ reply. < l/*1 m A I i UAoT u RIA Tho Kind Yon Have Always Bought, and -which has been in use lor over 30 years, has borne the signature of — S? —and has been made under his per /Vc sonal supervision since its infancy. yy. /'CUcJUK Allow no one to deceive yon in this.
