Looking tr.er the old catalogues,
of aatoroabiv manufacturers who ;
hare been ir business over a long
period of years, produces, therefore,
lbe same sensation as that awakened j
in perusing the old family photo
graph album.
Some of the things termed “the

1904 regime appear quite as humor
ous as the cut of Uncle Charlie’s
coat or Aunt Mary’s bodice as proud-'
ly exploited in the pictures of our
ancestors.
Georgia Grain Craps
Are Dead From Cold
Georgia’s grain crop has virtually
disappeared as a result of the severe
cold of the past three weeks.
With something like 25 per cent
more acreage in small grains than
the state bus ever before planted, re
porta from a’most every county of
the state skow that at least 75 per
cent of the crop has been killed.
Thousands of acres will be plowed up
and planted in other crops and the
Vws sustained from the severe cold
will tub into hundreds of thousands
of dollars. N>t since the memorable
freeze of 1899 has there been any
thing like the condition which exists
in Georgia r.ow, those in a position
to know declare.

nail nearly three inches long after
being in the lungs of Johnny Frank
SingletaVy, 8 years old, for nine
months, was removed by doctors at

Stone Mountain Folks Hear
Many Surprising Queries
Stone Mountain, Ga., January 2(5. j
—“Has any one ever detected the
mountain growing,” is one of the
many questions that are asked by
tourists from all parts of the world
sojourning in our midst. Since the
beginning of the Confederate memo- :
rial an unending stream of tourists
has visited Stone Mountain and the
above question is a sample.
It seems that an elderly lady of
text-book persuasion asked a citizen
to direct her to the oldest man in
Stone Mountain. Upon being presen
ted to the aged mountaineer,
inquired if during his long years of
residence at the mountain he had no
ticed the mountain increasing in
size. The venerable patriarch admit-,
ted frankly that he had not. “How
ever,” said he candidly, “I must
confess there have been times when
I saw two and even three mountains
where this one stands, but fatigue
always overcame me before I could
make an official count.
Another tourist became interested
in the city of Stone Mountain. He
inquired from various ones facts
concerning the town. He learned
that Stone Mountain had a popula
tion of 1.200 or 12,000, for his in
former had said it was 1,200 or 12,-
000 he “didn’t know exactly which,
so many,.people were in and out.”
Relentless in pursuit of informa
tion, this tourist inquired of a local'
merchant what salary was paid to
the mayor. “SIO,OOO a year,” an
swered the merchant.
“What," gasped the tourist, “you
mean to say that this little city pays
Us mayor SIO,OOO a year? Well,
well, that's certainly great, and H
shows appreciation on the part of
the citizens."
“Yep,” said the merchant dryly,
“but you must remember that he
only gets SIOO in cash, the other
ninety-nine hundred is paid him in
cussing,”
And, of course, someone, while
on top of the mountain, had to ask
an old-timer what would happen if
one were to slide down the moun
tain. “Well, to , say the least/”
drawled the old-timer, “I imagine
you’d be purty sore anyway."

Massachusetts and New York have
purchased the Lois Cotton Mills at
Douglasville. The Lois Mills have

looms.
PENSION ROLL FOR JACKSON
MADE UP
The Confederate pension roll for
Jackson has been prepared in the of
fice of Ordinary Dickson for this

soldiers to share in the pension mon
ey in this county, and the amount to
be sent here is §13,800.
Ordinary Dickson has received no
intimation as to when the money will

The editor of The Herald is some
what in the same boat this week as
Editor Shannon was when he com
mented on the scarcity of news, as
follows: “But, gentle reader, what
would you do when “they ain’t none.”
Nobody coming to town, nobody go
ing out of town. Nobody sick, no
body dead. No new kid has come
into the home. Too wet and cold
for social functions.”
