Iperoonal0. -vie-ep- - FOR CORONER, authorized to ascertain age of about 81,400. It is the .concensus of opinion that Mr. Bowen made honest mistakes with no intention of defrauding any one. His moral record is without stain and since he lias been iu this community lie lias been known as man with frugal, inexpensive habits. Mr. Bowen and ins family have the sympathy of tho entire commun ity and a number of his friendo have expressed a willingness to raise fund to pay the shortage. It is generally belleyed that after a thorough investigation the short age will lie reduced to some extent Passing of lhe Wheel. The convention of tlie League of American Whellinen was hold nt Tovringlon, Conn., a few clays ago and is reported to have been mueh like a funeral. From reports made to tho convention it appears that the membership of the league in 1898 was 102,000, now it is only 10,500— a falling off of nearly 90 per cent. In that year there wire fifty tiew- pap'Ts in tlie United States printed in tlie cycling interests. Now them is just ono. As for clubs, in Boston, for instance, there were fifty-three four years ago. Now there is not one. The trade itself, although man aged by tlie trust, is rapidly going topieces. Thu secret of all this as that tho fad has ceased and other fads have taken its place. Those who rode for amusement or because “ everybody else does,” have quit, and the use of the wheel is cou f med to tlie few who wish to save tune in getting to and from work or to enjoy the benefit of the exercise. These, however, are not many. The day of riding for pleasure lias passed.—Ex [- •T J •T-' Mr. \V. C. Gibson, ot' Attftpulgus. was in the city Wednesday. Mr. Walter Perry spent, a few days this week in Whigham. Clever Joss Dickenson, of Iron City, was in Bainbridge ono day this week. Mrs. D.ivn C< lien is on a visit to her old home in Columbus, Ga. Col. and Mrs, J, P. Williams, of f a- vannah, have been in this oi;y the p st week. Mr. \Y. C. Gibson, of Attapulgus, was in the city one day this week, as was Mr. M. C. Williams. Miss Cot-rel Buchanan left yesterday on tho J. P. Williams lor a three weeks visit to friemL in Apilauhioola, Fla. Mrs. W. O. Charlton, of Savannah, arrived iu the city yesterday to be the guest of Mrs. T. M. Battle for some Ume. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Wainmrnand Miss Edith Wainman left yesterday on au extended trip through the wee;. They will go direct i r on tills city to .San Fran cisco, where they will spend some time.
