One thousand acres of the 5,000 tract are to be reserved for the town site, where there is at present the large brick building occupied as a factory by the Cherry cotton mills, together with a well equipped church edifice and sev eral commodious cottages built by the Cherry company.

AN ESTATE IN MANY HANDS. Shift ing of Property Under Law Slak ing Husband and Wife Heirs. Cokdele, Ga., Jau. 2. The death here recently of Colonel Joseph E. Bivins, president of the First National bank, puts an end to the remakable shifting of a valuable estate which has occurred as a result of the Georgia law constituting husbands and wives mu tual heirs. Ten years ago there came to Atlanta it doctor named Marvin from Nebraska. He found there a widow with a $4,000 estate, which had passed to her upon the death of her husband. Marvin mar ried the woman, she died and he got the property. Marrying again, Marvin moved to this place and established the First Na tional bank. Then he died, and the es tate passed to his widow. She married Colonel Bivins and died. The colonel did not wed again, and now that he is dead the chain is broken and the prop erty will go to his collateral relatives. The remarkable conduct of Mrs. Mar vin when her husband died is recalled in connection with the story. She sent to New Orleans for au em balmer and an expert electrician and had the body, arrayed in store clothes, so adjusted in the parlor that it arose and bowed on her entrance.
