There is a story connected with the re cent change in the management of a well known family hotel in Atlanta which has not before found its way into print. At the time there seemed nothing out of the ordinary in the failure. It was simply an nounced that the house had been closed by impatient creditors, and as such things frequently occur no particular notice waa taken of the event The people most sur prised were the guests of the hotel. To them it came with startling and rather painful abruptness. The first intimation they had that disaster had overtaken the management found them ill prepared for the blow. One bright morning when the hungry ones came trooping down to break fast they were confronted by a placard fastened upon the dining room door. It bore this legend: “Goodby. God be with you till we meet again.” It was the proprietor’s adieu. He had departed in the night, and thus was the end newa broken to his hungry guests.— Atlanta Journal TO THE TEARING PUBLIC,' To the Bargain Hunters of Middle Georgia.
