BE WANTED TO SEE | SOME CORN LIKKER Union County Man Was De ceived Into Going; to Atlanta. Atlanta, Dec. s.—He was tall, stooped-shouldered, gaunt and about sixty years of age. He moved restlessly about the capi -"“tol, viewing the heaped up tables of corn, fingering the ears and shaking his head now and then. As he moved about, noticing no one and speaking to no one, he was observed by several, who decided to quiz him. One of the group walked up and said: “Howdy-do, friend. What do you think of this exhibit of corn?” The old fellow stood for some minutes buried in thought, and then he straightened up, heaved a sigh and said: “Podner, I’m plum disappoint ed. My name’s Jim Barker, an’ I live back in the cove in Union county. Some time ago I hearn of this co’n show down to At lanty. I ups and axed Poke Jackson ’bout it. Poke has been down here sev’rl times to cote, when the revenuers thought they had him fer moonshinin’. But Poke’s pretty slick an’ they ain’t got him in the jail house yit. “Well, Poke played hit low down on me. He ’lowed that they’d done took off the law agin likker sellin’ in Georgia, an’ was a celebratin’ hit down here in the capitol with one of the finest co’n likker shows you had ever seed. I never had been this fur from home, an’ I don’t take no news paper nohow, so, like a fool, I believed Poke! “An’, by gum, I been lookin’ round here all. the mornin’ fer likker an’ hain’t seed a smidgin’ yit, not even any beer. I axed a nigger down * tuther end of the buildin’ jus’ a bit er go whai they kept the likker, but he ’lowed they wan’t none here, leastwise that he knowed of. Say, that’s a fine chanst of co’n there for makin’ a run. I wish I had it back in the cove, I’d shore show you some good stuff. I’m gwine back home and lick Poke Jackson fer gettin’ me off down here this way.” And with a look of disgust, he tramped out into the rain and was seen no more. Blind Telephone Girls. The blind telephone girl has proven her ability. Two years ago a blind girl in Baltimore; passed a severe test of her capa bility and recently the Maryland School for the Blind has turned out five other well trained girls. All are now working satisfactori ly at regulation switchboards. In New York there are a number ofj blind men and girls employed as telephone switchboard operators, although they are all on private j lines. It is proposed to construct a special switchboard for use by this class of operators. There appears no good reason why the blind girl orman properly trained should not make a fine telephone operator. Their sense of hearing is more acute and they can see nothing to distract their atten tion from their work. The idea opens up a new and profitable calling fora class of afflicted peo ple not long since considered among the most helpless.—Sa vannah News. CITATION. Georgia—Montgomery County.

Alex McArthur, Ordinary. , The Tripe Market. ' I A frugally - inclined stock- j trader from up the state made a ! mistake and dropped into one of the most expensive restaurants in New York, says the Saturday Evening Post. He didn’t look at the prices on the bill-of-fare, which was perhaps just as well for his peace of mind. Instead he thought of the cheapest arti cle of filling food that he knew , anything about, which was tripe; and then he called the waiter and told him to bring him an or der of tripe. The waiter brought him a sin gle portion of tripe, cockered up in a chafing dish with green pep pers and mushrooms. He also brought a check for eighty cents. When the beeftrader saw the figures on the cheek he emitted a j roar of rage and agony that brought the manager to him, de manding an explanation. “Why, this here waiter of yours is trying to rob me!” sput tered the indignant guest. . “He had the nerve to charge me eighty cents fora plate of tripe!” “That is the correct price,” said the manager soothingly. The diner eyed him for a mo ment in astonisment. “Why, you big burglar,” he yelled, “you couldn’t tote eighty cents’ worth of tripe!” DISSOLUTION NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that the firm of J. E.

J THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, DEC 12, 1912. WHEN IS A MAN 60 YEARS OF AGE? Dispute Over a Brunswick Juror is Based on the Correct Answer. Brunnswick, Dec. 5. “When is a man 60 years of age?” This important legal question will be i settled within the next few days j ! by the Georgia court of appeals |in a case going up from the city court of Brunswick, and under unusual circumstances. Lee Ford, a colored near-beer saloonkeeper of this city, was placed on trial in the city court several days ago. Solicitor Ei nest Dart represented the state and Attorney Jas. T. Colson rep resented the defendant. During the trial of the case, among many other points made by At torney Colson, was the one that A. M. Haywood, one of the ju rors, was over CO years of age. Under the law, if a juror were over 60, he would be incompe tent. Under oath, after being challenged by Mr. Colson, Mr. Haywood testified: “Today is my birthday. lam 60 years old today. Ido not know the exact hour at which I was born, but today is my 60th birthday.” With this evidence Judge Krauss ruled with the solicitor that the juror was sixty, and not over that age, it being his birthday. The case was taken to the court of appeals by Attorney Col son, and that question is now up for determination. Mr. Colson takes the position that the juror was over 60. The point has nev er been made in Gergia before, and is an entirely new one in the state. It has been made in other states, and there seems to be a | universal ruling that a man is ' over 60 on his 60t.h birthday. That he was 60 at midnight on j the day just preceding his birth i day and was therefore over GO on his birthday. Much interest is being taken in this question and the decision of the higher court is looked for-1 ward to with much concern by the lawyers of this city, Coun sel for the state and defendant have filed briefs and the question has been carefully argued. How Dolls Are Made. The making of the composition dolls as seen in the German fac tories is an interesting process, even though some of the rooms are hot, steamy places where one does not care to stay long at a time. First, there is the knead ing-room, where a big mixing trough is set up, and in this all | sorts of rag-bag material are to ; be found—old gloves, rags, bits ; of cardboard, etc., and gum trag- j acanth. This mixture is kneaded i by hand to the consistency of a j paste, heated and carried into the I mold-room. There it is dipped up by women and poured into the patterns, which are set up in rows. The molds are put away until they are cold enough to handle, when a workman, by a dexterous movement of his I hands, separates the leaden sides, and the doll’s head is re vealed. The polisher then trims j off the ragged seams and sends 1 the heads to another room, where the holes for the eyes are cut out. This is an extremely delicate i; task, as all the sockets must be of uniform size. The work is done by hand, a long, sharp knife being used. The heads are next painted, waxed or glazed, depending upon | the character of the material from which they are made. The arms, legs and hands are molded : in the same manner as the heads j—a special machine being used ;for stamping out the hands. — Mrs. C. R. Miller in Leslie's. House for Sale.
